Kyle Vogt is revealed to be the buyer of San Francisco's most expensive mansion
The buyer of a stunning hillside San Francisco mansion that sold for $21.8 million earlier this month has been revealed to be 30-year-old entrepreneur Kyle Vogt.
Vogt, who is known as the 'Robot Guru', built his fortune from selling two billion-dollar startups within the last two years, which easily allowed him to buy the most expensive home in the city this year, SFGate.com reported.
The billionaire co-founded Twitch, which is a live streaming video platform and sold it to Amazon for roughly a billion dollars.
Vogt, who is a newlywed, then went on to be the founder and CEO of Cruise, an automated driving startup which sold to General Motors for $1billion in a cash and stock deal.

The newlywed couple (pictured together left) is likely excited to move into their new luxurious home. While Vogt is known as the 'Robot Guru', his wife Tracy is the founder of Charlie's Acres, which is an animal farm sanctuary
Built in 1901, 2250 Vallejo sits in the Pacific Heights estate with views overlooking the iconic Golden Gate Bridge.
The luxury home comes with its own infinity pool, allowing Vogt and his guests to enjoy a dip with the perfect view
This stunning hillside San Francisco mansion has sold for $21.8 million - making it the most expensive home in the city this year
The top floor is the spa room, with almost an entire wall made of glass, which leads out onto the terrace
Outside, it boasts a Beaux Arts façade, with decorative columns and intricate metalwork balconies
The city already has its fair share of high end homes with the average house price just shy of $900,000. But the 9,095-square-foot modern mansion Vogt now owns blows the competition out of the water with its eye-watering sale price.
Vogt married his wife, Tracy in 2014, in a lavish ceremony where they arranged for their guests to stay in villas where the evening ceremony took place at the Castello di Modanella in Tuscany, Italy.
Tracy is the founder of Charlie's Acres, which is an animal farm sanctuary that rescues farm animals who were abused or destined for slaughterhouses.

From the top down: The three story home has an elegant, spiral staircase leading up to the top floor pool and spa room
The staircase is modern in style, constructed of light wood and glass, with a skylight at the top
Their new home was built in 1901, and sits in the Pacific Heights estate with views overlooking the iconic Golden Gate Bridge.
Outside, it boasts a Beaux Arts façade, with decorative columns, intricate metalwork balconies and neoclassical architectural carvings.
Yet, the interior has been completely renovated in a modern minimalist style which allows the spacious rooms to frame the stunning views of the city and the Golden Gate strait.
It has seven bedrooms and seven bathrooms across three floors.
The light and airy bathroom is finished with a luxurious white marble shower and marble counter tops
The home has not one, two huge walk-in closets - one decorated in light, white wooden shelves
The other closet is completed in more masculine dark wood - perhaps helping to justify the property's price tag as most expensive San Francisco home sold in 2016
It was built by wealthy fish packer James Madison in 1901, and was later used as housing for wounded World War II soldiers before it was turned back into an apartment building (an office room, in dark wood)
Marble counter-tops, spiral staircases and not one, but two walk-in wardrobes help justify the property's price tag as most expensive San Francisco home sold in 2016.
Vogt now joins other notable billion-and-millionaires in the exclusive Pacific Heights neighborhood, including Larry Ellison, the Gettys and David Sacks.
And what multi-million dollar property is complete without its own top floor spa with an infinity edge pool, a gas fire pit and indoor steam room.
It was built by wealthy fish packer James Madison in 1901, and was later used as housing for wounded World War II soldiers.
The property was converted again and spent fifty years as an apartment building before it was transformed into one home.

Another mansion, 2820 Scott Street, took the title for most expensive listing at $28.5 million but the listing expired in September.
While 2250 Vallejo is the most expensive sale this year, it is considerably cheaper than last year's costliest sale - the white mansion at 2701 Broadway, a seven-bedroom, 16,000-square foot home, sold for $31 million in 2015.

The newly open floor plan allows one to sit at the dining-room table and still look out over San Francisco Bay
The roof deck offers outdoor entertaining, and comes with a gas fire pit, indoor steam room, and infinity edge pool
It also offers stunning views of one of the world's most iconic bridges, San Francisco's Golden Gate
After all the grandeur inside, the $21.8 million home also comes with a surprisingly small yard
Its facade was restored to its original beaux-arts beauty - with decorative columns and intricate carvings
The neoclassical architectural carvings continue around the windows and balconies dotted around the buildings
