Justin Bieber buys home
TMZ reports that The Biebs bought a 9,000 square foot mansion in Calabasas, Calif. to the tune of $6 million. The town is about 22 miles outside of Hollywood, in the ‘burbs. The seller wanted around $7.5 million, but it’s a buyer’s market and The Biebs was able to talk him down to around $6 million.
Congrats on your new home, Biebs. Now, the next big question: When is Selena Gomez moving in? Even if she just sleeps over a whole lot, she’ll at least need her own bathroom to keep her toothbrush.
Mary Sue Maurer, the mayor of The Biebs’ new town, is beyond psyched about her city’s new resident, who should be moving in this summer. “Justin is welcomed to Calabasas and his privacy will be respected just like everyone else’s.”
Yeah, tell that to the paparazzi. Even though the home is in a gated community and has security, which made it more attractive to its new owner, those wily paps always find a way in. The Biebs is one of their preferred photographic targets, so he may still be fighting for his privacy. At least the locals will leave him the hell alone!
The $10 million-plus Hollywood Hills real estate purchase is a relatively small sum for the teen heartthrob; Forbes ranks Bieber number two on the list of Best-Paid Celebrities under 30, earning a reported $53 million in 2011.
Bieber’s new home is not the typical Mediterranean-style mansion popular to the area. Designed by architects Jeffrey and Rochelle Mills of Mills Studio, the home is made up of glass and steel boxes that appear to float above the home’s large pool and patio. With a whopping 9,400-square-feet of living space, the 5-bedroom home has plenty of room for the singer, his girlfriend Selena Gomez as well as his entourage of security and managers.
Bieber made his music debut in 2009 after a manager discovered YouTube videos of the singer. After releasing his first album with relative success, the singer reached international stardom with his song “Baby.”
The home features plenty of celebrity real estate amenities: glass chandeliers, retractable glass walls, gourmet kitchen, gym and massage room.
In keeping with the California lifestyle, the home features several outdoor spaces with enclosed gardens, terraces, and outdoor rooms.
The only thing holding Bieber back from moving in immediately is the previous tenant. As reported earlier, the rumor is that Ashton Kutcher has been renting the home for $50,000 a month.
If the Biebs picked up the home with a traditional mortgage, he can expect a monthly payment of $39,979, assuming a 20 percent down payment on a 30-year-fixed-rate mortgage.
The listing is held by David Findley of Partners Trust Real Estate Brokerage & Acquisitions.
The teen pop sensation, whose birthday was on 1 March, is treating himself to not one, but TWO mansions in The Los Angeles area and he’s cutting no corners as he looking to spend around $14 million! And isn’t he a good boy – one of the Mansions is for his mummy (ah, that’s so sweet!)According to celebrity gossip sources, the Lonely Girl singer has been house hunting for some time. Two of the properties that caught the barely legal adult’s eyes are in located in Calabasas, CA – the home of the Kardashians, Brittney Spears and some of the Jacksons family members. The sources also leaked out that the two Mansions are priced at $ 6 million and $ 8 million.
It’s not the end of the real estate hunt for Bieber as he also got his eye on another property – a bachelor pad in Hollywood. The pimped-out pad, which is being rented by bad boy Ashton Kutcher, is on the market with a hefty price tag of $10 million.
