As money rolled in, Marvin made large investments in Denver real estate, primarily shopping malls and office complexes. In 1981, Marvin liquidated most of his oil holdings for $600 million. That’s the same as roughly $1.7 billion in today’s dollars. Later that same year he and partner bought movie studio 20th Century Fox for $725 million. Just four years later he sold the studio to Rupert Murdoch. The sale earned Marvin personally a $300 million profit.

He sold Pebble Beach in 1990 for $841 million. Davis was involved in family disputes which involved his daughter Patricia. He helped to find the Carousel of Hope ball which raised money for juvenile diabetes and has a research building named after him at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, California. Davis was a big donor for the Democratic Party. Marvin was married to Barbara Levine and the couple had five children and many grandchildren. They purchased a 45,000 square foot house in Beverly Hills called The Knoll from Kenny Rogers. Marvin Davis passed away on September 25, 2004 at 79 years old.
