Jonah Wilson
Carolwood Estates
Wilson, who recently joined Carolwood Estates, has amassed more than $1 billion in career sales over the past 20 years. His “client first” attitude is the foundation of his business, and he did $200 million in luxury-based sales during 2022, working with celebrity clients including Trevor Noah, Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne and Courteney Cox. “The challenge at the moment is an underlying uncertainty coupled with so many different opinions on the direction of the market,” he says.
