Financiers, pocket-heavy foreign buyers and a movie star were among the latest movers and shakers in L.A. County's luxury market. Here's a look at the priciest home sales that closed toward the end of May.

$10.3 million - Beverly Hills
A renovated and expanded version of "South Pacific" star Mitzi Gaynor's home of more than five decades sold in the 600 block of North Arden Drive to Iya Sarkisova, the daughter of Russian billionaire and RESO-Garantiya chairman Sergei Sarkisov, and Mikhail Makharadze.
The 1920s Spanish colonial villa, which Gaynor sold two years ago for $4.9 million, had been listed for $10.95 million, records show.
Set behind gates, the 6,173-square-foot house has a classic yet contemporary feel, with white walls, graceful arches, beamed ceilings and floor-to-ceiling glass. French doors open to a deck with an outdoor kitchen that overlooks a swimming pool.
Among additions to the property is a new detached guesthouse and a separate pool house. There are five bedrooms, six full bathrooms and a powder room in all.
