Kiss Front Man Gene Simons Calls Nevada His New Home

Fed up with high taxes, earthquakes and other issues, Gene Simmons has moved out of California. This time, it looks like it is for good. At the age of 71, Simmons and his wife Shannon Tweed have just bought a home in Henderson, Nevada.

Located near Las Vegas, they bought an $8.2 million-dollar property offering 11,000 square feet of living space. He was quoted as saying that “I’m done with California.” Citing earthquakes, fires and pandemics every year, he is opting for the Nevada desert.

Onerous Taxes.

One of his biggest gripes about California centered on “onerous taxes.” He actually referred to his old state as “inhabitable.”

He previous property in Southern California covered two acres of land near Beverly Hills. That house is currently listed for sale at $25 million. He also has a 12,000 square-foot mansion in Lake Tahoe. The new Las Vegas property offers six bedrooms and eight full baths. It also has stunning views of the desert valley.

He actually left California late last year to live at his Lake Tahoe residence. The Henderson property is the couple’s newest acquisition. Simmons chose Nevada as his new resident state for a “quieter life.” He added:

“The quality of life is better there, so we can go hiking without bumping into people.”

Simmons also mentioned that the “taxes there are also much more appealing.” The couple had been exploring housing options outside of California for the past few years.

Simmons mentioned that:

“We considered various properties in various states but ultimately decided that Nevada is a better choice for us. We are at a place in our lives where a big city lifestyle is just not our thing anymore.”

Separate Accountants Filed Taxes Separately

Interestingly enough, his wife Shannon is the sole owner of a hilltop home in Malibu. She purchased the home primarily as an investment. Simmons and his wife stated that they have no intention of living there. He also noted that the couple has always turned to separate accountants to handle their financial matters. The have also filed taxes separately over the entire course of their marriage.

The cost of the Malibu property was reported to be $5.8 million. At first the tabloids reported that Simmons purchased the property after vowing to leave California behind. It was later revealed that Tweed bought the property on her own.

That property is much smaller than the couple’s current digs. The house has three bedrooms and four full baths. The total size of the home covers just over 3,700 square feet of living space. The parcel of land expands out to 2.45 acres. It sits atop one of the highest ridgelines in the Malibu area. Given its elevated terrain, windows offer stunning views of the Pacific Ocean as well as the surrounding mountains.

Simmons has two children that are still located in California. He purchased adjacent homes in the Hollywood Hills. One home for each child.

Simmons made his fortune as the lead singer for the rock band Kiss. He was originally born in Israel.
