NuVet Labs Owner Blake Kirschbaum Bought the $35 Million Westlake Village Compound
James McClain Although his identity remained an enigma for a full year, it’s now publicly known that the mysterious and previously unidentified buyer who paid $35 million in cash for the enormous Westlake Village compound of billionaire producer Thomas Tull was not a foreign billionaire or major financier but rather local Ventura County businessman Blake Kirschbaum, a longtime Thousand Oaks resident. Kirschbaum is the owner of Westlake Village-based NuVet Labs, a company that rakes in tens of millions every year by peddling pet supplements — yes, Fido’s daily vitamins.While the low-profile Kirschbaum isn’t exactly a household name, there’s a very good chance you’ve already heard of NuVet.
