The house that burgers built officially has a new owner!

Lynsi Snyder, 39 — who became the majority owner of beloved fast-food chain In-N-Out Burger at age 35 — has sold her massive, Bradbury, Calif. estate for a cool $16,250,000, PEOPLE can confirm. The listing was held by Joe Chiovare and Ronald Chang of Coldwell Banker Realty.

PEOPLE reported that Snyder put the home on the market for $16,800,000 in March 2021. She reportedly purchased the property for $17,210,000 million in 2012, according to the Los Angeles Times, meaning she took a $960,000 loss on the recent sale.

In 2017, Forbes estimated Snyder's net worth to be $1.3 billion.

The sprawling compound, located about 30-minutes northeast of Downtown Los Angeles, features a main residence, pool cabana, guest house and recreation center, all spread out across the 4.23-acre property.

Guests also have their own luxurious space when visiting: the detached guesthouse has three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a two-car garage.

Snyder, who has mostly stayed out of the spotlight throughout her career, first took over as the president of In-N-Out in 2010. The company was founded in 1948 by her grandparents, Harry and Esther Snyder, and was once run by her uncle, Richard, and father, Guy.

She has said she tries to stay out of the public eye to keep focus on the burger brand, but also maintains her privacy because of safety reasons.

The businesswoman told Orange Coast magazine she was nearly abducted once when she was 17 and a second time when she was 24 by kidnappers in a "van with boarded-up windows." Though the experiences have kept her from sharing much about her own family, she hasn't let it ruin her spirit. "It all helped mold me into who I am now," she said.

After her father died of an overdose in 1999, Snyder says her world was "shattered" and she found comfort in men. "There was no way I was gonna be alone," she said in January 2017 for a testimonial on the Christian media platform I Am Second. "He was gone, so I had an even greater reason to fill the void."

Snyder has been married four times and has four children.

At age 18, Snyder married her high school sweetheart, Jeremiah Seawell. After two years together, they divorced. She had two children with her second husband, Richard Martinez, but they also divorced after six years. Snyder recalls her third marriage to Val Torres, Jr. as one riddled with cheating and abuse. She went on to divorce for the third time in 2014 and later met her current husband, Sean Ellingson, a former In-N-Out employee.

Torres, 30, is the owner and president of the In-N-Out Burger restaurant chain. She has watched her family expand In-N-Out from a single drive-through hamburger stand founded in 1948 in Baldwin Park by her grandparents, Harry and Esther Snyder, into a fast-food empire worth more than $1 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.

After her first marriage ended, she struggled with addiction. "I started smoking pot, drinking — which were things I really had wanted to stay away from after watching my dad," she told I Am Second. "I realized that I'm gonna follow in the footsteps of my father and that I'm going to meet an early death if I do not get right with God and follow him."

Snyder credits her Christian faith for saving her life and now runs a faith-based foundation called "Army of Love" with Ellingson.
