Palantir CEO Alex Karp and Lumen CEO Kate Johnson join Liz Claman in a Fox Business exclusive to discuss a multi-million-dollar deal to create fast AI infrastructure.
In a remarkable real estate move, Palantir CEO Alex Karp has acquired Colorado’s historic St. Benedict’s Monastery, previously home to Trappist monks, for an impressive $120 million. This purchase adds to Karp’s expanding portfolio of real estate investments.
Located in Snowmass, Colorado—just a 30-minute drive from Aspen—the property was initially listed for $150 million when it hit the market last year. Ken Mirr of Mirr Ranch Group, one of the listing agents, shared this information with The Wall Street Journal.

The entire 3,700-acre property, including the monastery, marks the highest residential sale in Colorado’s Pitkin County to date, according to Mirr. For 70 years, the monastery was under the stewardship of Trappist monks, although only a few remain there now. Interestingly, Mirr did not disclose the buyer’s identity but mentioned that the property will not be used as a residence.

Despite the record-breaking nature of this sale, it represents only a small fraction of Karp’s overall wealth. He is currently listed as the 146th richest person in the world on Bloomberg’s Billionaires index, with a net worth exceeding $17 billion as of late 2025.
