Michael’s mansion for sale: Home where Jackson died is put on the market for $23.9million

Back on the market: The home where Michael Jackson died has been put up for sale againBy DAILY MAIL

It has been on and off the market for years. And now the mansion Michael Jackson was renting for $100,000-a-month when he died has been put up for sale once again.  The house, which has seven bedrooms, 13 bathrooms and a seven-car garage all sprawled over 17,200 square feet comes with an asking price of $23.9million.

It was listed for a higher price of $29million when it was put on the market in August 2010. However it is understood to have remained empty since the superstar’s death in June 2009. Despite this it may be lived in soon as it has reported by TMZ that a ‘major celebrity’ is due to look around the property tomorrow.

And the website also alleges that the realtor will only show the property to people who are pre-qualified, which means it has been verified that they have enough money to purchase the pricey home. As well as the expansive grounds and spacious rooms, the mansion boasts a movie theatre and swimming pool.

The 50-year-old singer died of a Propofol overdose in June 2009 in the house in Holmby Hills, which is in upmarket Bel Air, Los Angeles.

The asking price for the house, which is owned by Ed Hardy CEO Hubert Guez, has been slashed several times

It was put up for sale back in 2008 for a whopping $38million.

After Guez initially tried to rent the property for $300,000 a month, and failed, he decided to put the house up for sale at the reduced price to offload it.

Armani Beats Gates and Abramovich to Buy $190M Scorpios Isl., property of Aristotle Onassis

by Jared Paul Stern via Luxist Source : IlSole 24ORE, video theULC-Greek Heart

Legendary Italian fashion designer Giorgio Armani has reportedly become the proud owner of one of the world’s most beautiful and expensive private islands – Skorpios (above). In closing the deal, said to be worth about $190 million according to reports in the European press, the designer faced stiff competition from rival bidders including Bill Gates, Roman Abramovich and Madonna. Located in the Ionian Sea off the western coast of Greece, the island formerly belonged to famed Greek shipping billionaire Aristotle Onassis and was the site of his wedding to Jackie Kennedy in 1968. It was sold to Armani by his granddaughter and heiress, Athina Onassis Roussel. There is a lavish villa on the island known as the Pink House which Onassis built for Jackie, along with tennis courts and plush gardens, though most of the island remains undeveloped and pristinely beautiful.

The Obama Winter White House Sold

by OceanHome

Located on 27,000 square feet on the windward eastern shore of Oahu, just 20 minutes from Honolulu, Paradise Point is a gated, island retreat comprised of three structures—including the Plantation oceanfront Estate and a guest suite—marked by exquisite luxuries and unmatched scenery. President Barack Obama and his family have been content to call this corner of the world their home during the past two winter holiday seasons, prompting many to dub this private estate on Kailua Beach the “Obama Winter White House.”

The home, which was featured on the cover of the March/April 2010 issue of Ocean Home magazine, was sold recently to readers Glenn and Debra Weinberg of Owings Mills, Maryland. “The oceanfront properties featured in Ocean Home magazine are always stunning. This was especially true of the Obama Winter White House feature, which first introduced me to our new home,” commented Mr. Weinberg, who is a vice president of The Cordish Co., a real estate development firm based in Baltimore.

Most expensive house in the world – $750M

 The Villa Leopolda, located on the French Riviera, was estimated for a sale on August 2008 for $750 million, of Lily Safra by the Russian Billionaire Prokhorov who revealed as the mystery buyer of the Villa at that time. However, the Russian mogul lost his deposit on the property when he reneged on completing the sale an amount of $55 million.

Built for King Leopold II of Belgium in 1902, the Belle Époque mansion was used as a summer retreat for the king. The property has since changed hands a couple of times, and its previous owners include the late Giovanni Agnelli, of the Italian marque Fiat, and Lebanese-born Swiss banker Edmond Safra.  The villa has been rumoured to be the home of Bill Gates and many more global figures, including  Roman Abramovich.
