Personal life

Wood met writer Sophia Nardin while attending Wesleyan University, and the two are now married. Along with his wife and two daughters, he resides in Los Angeles. Shortly after Apple paid $3 billion to acquire Beats, Wood paid $8.55 million for Silvertop, a 4,700-square-foot (440 m2) home in Los Angeles in August 2014. John Lautner, an architect, created the mansion, which was constructed in 1956 for inventor Kenneth Reiner. However, Reiner never lived there since he finally filed for bankruptcy. In 1974, an adjacent couple purchased the incomplete property, finished it, and spent forty years living there. Upon acquiring Silvertop, Wood hired Barbara Bestor, an architect known for designing the Beats Electronics offices in Los Angeles, to carry out renovations on the property.
