The U.S. Department of Justice ruled that Los Angeles real estate mogul Donald Sterling pay $2.7 million to settle allegations that he discriminated against African-Americans, Hispanics and families with children at his Los Angeles apartment buildings.
The settlement amounts to what is the largest payment ever obtained in a housing discrimination case involving rental apartments. The original suit was filed in 2006 and was brought against Sterling, his wife Rochelle and the Sterling Family Trust. It also resolves two other similar lawsuits.
Robert Platt, a partner at West L.A. firm Manatt Phelps & Phillips LLP who represented the Sterling Family Trust in the case, said insurance companies decided to settle the case because of litigation costs.
The Sterlings were accused of discriminating against tenants and prospective tenants at a handful of Koreatown apartment buildings — the Sterlings own and manage about 120 apartment properties in L.A. County.
Sterling is worth an estimated $1.45 billion, according to the L.A Business Journal’s annual rankings, and also owns the Los Angeles Clippers basketball team.
