You're about to close a multi-million dollar deal on a new mansion for you
but that's when the realtor tells you that before you lived here a celebrity
did you then pause the entire transaction
because of that one celeb this may sound like a crazy scenario but
it happens quite a lot you may think that having a celebrity
owner would help a house get sold but that is not always the case
according to redfin homes owned by celebs spend a lot more
time on the market than other homes and they normally sell for much less
than the original price here are some of the best examples where
celebs have lost millions on their homes and they're
still not sold 50 cent 50 cent is a rapper and like
most rappers he's known for luxury he often posts images of him on private
jets with stacks of money but all of that spending has caused him
some troubles in fact he's even declared bankruptcy
many times in 2015 he filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy and 50 cent had to
sell his 50 000 square foot home in farmington
connecticut he put the house on the market for 18.5
million dollars in 2015. but later that year he had to drop the
price all the way down to 8.5 million dollars
in 2016 he lowered the price once again to 5.9 million dollars
and it's remained at that price ever since and has not been bought
the mega mansion is totally over the top it's got 21 bedrooms and 25 bathrooms
it also has an indoor pool and hot tub and even a nightclub inside the house
if you want entertainment then there's an indoor basketball court
there are also many game rooms inside the house and if you need to record a
song and music video there's a recording studio and green screen room
even if 50 cents sold it at the price it's listed for now he'd be making a
huge loss he bought the home from the boxer mike
tyson for 4.1 million dollars but he then spent 6 million dollars
renovating the home the house sits on 17 acres of land the
house even has a gigantic double staircase
one of the reasons why no one wants to buy this house is because it's in the
middle of nowhere that's great for a celebrity who wants
privacy but normally rich people like to live among other rich people and
nice things for example they want to live near golf courses and expensive
shops but you'll get none of that anywhere
near this home donald trump everyone knows the current
president trump lives in the white house but as
well as the white house he has many other homes this includes his main
residence in trump tower in new york and also his
mar-a-lago estate in florida but another one of trump's
luxurious estates is the saint martin estate this is located
on the caribbean island of saint martin he owns this
through two companies called excel venture one llc
and excel venture corp one it's known as the chateau de palmieres
and it was listed in may of 2017 for 28 million dollars
but in august of that year the price dropped to 16.9 million dollars
and it's still on the market today with very little interest
trump used the estate as a rental property and he apparently gets between
a hundred thousand and a million dollars a year from it
the sale is being handled by trump jr and the trump organization
but there are various reasons why people don't want to buy this estate
for one much of the island of saint martin was damaged during hurricane irma
the estate was relatively undamaged but it still means there's lots of
destruction on the surrounding island also many people disagree with trump's
politics and that makes some people not want to
be associated with the house that he owned
seeing as trump's net worth is in the billions i'm sure he won't mind his
house not being sold anytime soon jeffrey epstein everyone knows this
creepy billionaire the disgraced financier passed on in
2019 but he left behind many assets including
a private jet and many properties one of these is little
james island this is a private island located in the
u.s virgin islands in 2019 the island was valued at 64
million dollars but it's unlikely this island will be
sold anytime soon first off most people don't have that
much money to spend on an island but also this island has a bad history
of course many bad things allegedly happened on this island
so even though it's massive and has many buildings it likely will not be sold
the island has a main house and three guest homes
there's also a helipad and a dock there's also a blue and white striped
box-like building with a golden dome on top
the purpose for this building is unknown but epstein also had two other homes in
new york and florida these were put on the market for 88 million and
22 million dollars respectively the 88 million
manhattan townhouse is very opulent and the 22 million dollar
palm beach estate is also very luxurious but of course
as we know many bad things happened at all of these properties
and that likely means people will not be paying that much money
for it think about it would you really want to live in a house where such
terrible things took place barack obama trump is not the only
president having trouble selling one of his homes
the obama family bought this amazing 7 000 square foot mansion in martha's
vineyard in 2013. they used it as a summer estate but the
obamas owning it did not make it any easier to sell
in july of 2015 this house was put up for 22.5 million dollars
but just months later the price dropped by 15 percent
two years later the house was listed at 17 million dollars
and it's still unsold today at this very discounted price
michael jordan everyone knows the basketball
legend michael jordan but his chicago estate has been on the market for many
years he simply can't sell it the estate located in highland park was
put on the market for 29 million dollars in 2012
but five years later many price drops did not help it move off the market
it's currently selling for nearly half the original price at 14 million dollars
inside is a massive gym and also a home theater the
gates outside the house have the number 23 which was his jersey number
the property is 56 000 square feet and it's located on seven acres of land
and the compound has a massive 80 rooms including
nine bedrooms the house has a massive circular
infinity pool and in the center of it is a grass island
there's also a basketball and tennis court and there's even a golf putting
green tommy hilfiger everyone knows the
fashion brand tommy hilfiger but do you know the man behind the brand
his name is of course tommy hilfiger and he's worth around 1 billion dollars
hilfiger owns one of the most amazing properties in new york
and similar to his clothing it's very over the top and stylish
it's known as the plaza penthouse it's a 5
600 square foot duplex in the plaza hotel it was first
listed by him in 2013 for 80 million dollars
the price then dropped 275 million dollars
and then 268 million dollars it was then dropped one final time to 58 million
dollars and then it was taken off the market as
they assumed they could not sell it but in 2017 they put it back on the
market for 50 million dollars so the price has literally dropped by 30
million dollars already the condo takes up the 18th and 19th
floors of the plaza hotel it has four bedrooms which have views of
central park and 5th avenue much of the decor
is inspired by the glory days of the plaza hotel
and naturally there's also lots of tommy hilfiger inspired decor
currently many rich people are leaving new york city
so tommy may have to wait many more years before this house finally sells
matt lauer this is another example of someone being disgraced and their house
not selling for many years matt lauer was the host
of nbc's today show but in 2017 he was fired for
inappropriate conduct since then he's having a hard time
selling his mansion in the hamptons it was listed at 17 million dollars he
later cut one million dollars off the price
and he then cut the price even more and it's now in the market for 14 million
dollars the house is 8 000 square feet and is in
a 25 acre private lot it's known as the sag harbor estate it
was built with a traditional style and there's lots of space for entertaining
guests there's also a massive swimming pool in
the backyard but because he's been disgraced it's unlikely anyone's gonna
buy this place any time soon steve cohen
steve cohen is a billionaire hedge fund manager but
his business skills can't help him move his manhattan penthouse
he's been trying to sell this duplex since 2013.
it was first listed at 115 million dollars
but after six price drops it's now at 57 million dollars
it's 9 000 square feet with five bedrooms and six
baths the home also has a dedicated gallery to display art pieces
