Even millionaires love a good bargain.
San Francisco 49ers CEO Jed York quietly relocated back to his Ohio hometown months before he was allegedly caught shelling out $160 for a nonexistent trailer park prostitute — and is now living at a $500,000 Youngstown home owned by his parents, as a sheriff’s deputy keeps watch outside.
York, whose family is worth an estimated $8.5 billion, moved in March to a 4-bedroom, 4,100-square-foot Youngstown home owned by his prominent parents Dr. John York and Denise DeBartolo York shortly before filing for divorce from his wife of 15 years, according to voter registration records.
A security guard — equipped with a gun and a badge — was seen Tuesday outside of York‘s Ohio home.
The polo-clad deputy was tight-lipped when asked by the California Post why he was there. “You’d have to ask [York],” he said. When asked if his presence was due to York’s recent time behind bars, the officer stated, “You’d have to ask him.”
The deputy was off-duty and had been assigned to the home via Nickel Group, a security solutions company, according to a spokesperson for the Mahoning County Sheriff’s Office. The office added that a guard had patrolled the home before.
The Mahoning County elections office confirmed York registered earlier this year at the Southland avenue his parents purchased in 2011, per property records.
Earlier this year, York — who is the midst of divorce proceedings — was irate over the proposed California billionaire tax, according to a source with knowledge of the matter, and he began telling people he was no longer a California resident.
It’s unclear if the state wealth tax was the deciding factor in changing his residence to the Buckeye State from the ultra-exclusive Bay Area town of Los Altos Hills where he lived in a luxury mansion with his family.
York, 46, filed for divorce from wife Danielle Belluomini on May 11, citing irreconcilable differences.
The sports exec is seeking joint custody of their two sons, ages 13 and 10, according to the filing. The two signed a prenuptial agreement when they tied the knot in 2011.
York was taken into custody Saturday and booked on two separate charges — one count of engaging in prostitution and one count of possessing criminal tools. Police records show York pinged a fake sex ad multiple times while trying to hide his famous identity.
“York messaged the female and advised that his name was Joe and that he would like to visit the female,” detectives wrote in the document.
Later that same day, York allegedly reached out again.
He “advised that he was just checking in, and was seeing if the female was available,” the report stated.
When both messages went unanswered by the undercover agent involved in the sting, York again reached out at 9:11 a.m. Sunday, according to the document.
He “was advised that full service sexual activity was $160.00, with unprotected sex being $20 more,” officials wrote in the report.
“York advised that the $160.00 worked for him, and he was on his way.”
York was then given a meeting location address, which was at an East Palestine trailer park with “a fictitious lot number,” according to the report.
Shortly after York arrived, the report stated he was stopped by marked units and arrested at 9:35 a.m.
York had $160.00 on him, which was seized, officials said. “A test text message to York’s iPhone revealed that it was the one used to arrange the criminal activity. York was driving an AVIS rental car at the time of the arrest.”
He pleaded no contest to no contest to a lesser charge of disorderly conduct as well as one count of possession criminal tools on Monday.
York was ordered to pay $1,150 in fines, and was sentenced to one day in jail, though he was given credit for time served and released.
York did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.
