Jason Oppenheim is a Los Angeles-based real estate broker, attorney, and reality television personality who has built one of the most prominent luxury property brokerage firms in the United States — The Oppenheim Group — while simultaneously becoming a global household name through Netflix’s hit series Selling Sunset. Born on April 12, 1977, in Palo Alto, California, alongside his identical twin brother Brett, Oppenheim grew up in difficult circumstances: the brothers were raised primarily by their single mother after their parents divorced, were expelled or suspended from five of the seven schools they attended, and were even sent to a teen correctional camp in Idaho at age 13 before their father, a Vietnam veteran, helped them turn their lives around.

Oppenheim’s academic transformation was dramatic. He graduated first in his class from the University of California, Berkeley, earning both his undergraduate degree and his law degree, and subsequently taught in UC Berkeley’s Legal Studies and Political Science departments. From 2003 to 2007, he practiced corporate law at the prestigious international firm O’Melveny & Myers in Los Angeles, where he represented high-profile clients in multi-billion dollar cases including Enron Corporation’s former CEO.

He pivoted to real estate in 2007, leveraging his family’s deep roots in Los Angeles property — his great-great-grandfather Jacob Stern founded what would become The Oppenheim Group in 1889, making the firm five generations in the making. After establishing himself at Coldwell Banker Previews International, Oppenheim relaunched The Oppenheim Group as a standalone brokerage in 2013. Under his leadership, the firm has closed more than $3 billion in sales and consistently ranks among the top luxury brokerages in Los Angeles. The Wall Street Journal named him one of the Best Real Estate Agents in America in 2019.

When Netflix debuted Selling Sunset in 2019, following the agents of The Oppenheim Group through luxury property deals and interpersonal drama, Oppenheim became one of the streaming platform’s most recognizable personalities. The show earned Primetime Emmy nominations for Outstanding Unstructured Reality Program in 2021 and 2022 and an MTV Movie + TV Award in 2022. It spawned the spin-off Selling the OC (2022). Oppenheim earns approximately $1 million per season from the show as both cast member and executive producer.

His personal life has attracted significant attention, including a brief public relationship with cast member Chrishell Stause in 2021. He owns a portfolio of high-value Los Angeles properties, including a renovated Hollywood Hills home and a $7 million Newport Beach mansion. As of 2025, his net worth is estimated at approximately $50 million, derived from real estate commissions, brokerage ownership, television fees, and property investments.
