Mariah Carey Makes Offer on Beverly Hills Mansion

Not worth the money.

5 years they will be divorced and bankrupt…. its hammer time… Sincerely MC

Ah, so nice to see in this age of growing unemployment, rising homeless numbers, and daily news of financial scandals that some people are not afraid to embrace excess and live it up.

A half a million dollars a month mortgage. My goodness, how many people that could help/feed/clothe/house.

This house is NOT in Beverly Hills – it is in Los Angeles, zip code 90077 (also commonly referred to as Bel-Air or Holmby Hills).

woow.. i love M.C
but this is fuckin ridiculous.. like that money n do sooo much better.. there r soo many ppl struggling in this world./..
she only wnats to buy it soo pppl… talk about it..
its not even that nice of a house.. n shes not gunna be rich like how she is right now 4ever..
this is sooo stupidd

CHANGE….you can believe in.
Maybe they can arrange govt. finance for this one!
With a 0% interest rate ……….Oh yeh…when they default Geithner can issues more TALF and bail them out. I guess B.O. needs a house in California.

If they can afford it and want it, then do it. Who are we to tell someone what to do with their money. Its funny how everyone thinks the rich should help everyone.

Mariah Carey really has that much money? It’s a shame someone so annoying can be so rich. He face is so smackworthy.

2 people in 45,000 square. Let see…the amount of energy to keep this place going for 2 people who may or my not spend 20 percent of their time here and have other homes in other locations, which they fly to in their private jets. Is it just the “common” person responsible for going “green”.
I am so sick of celebs I could scream. Get over yourselves. No I am not jealous..I would never in a trillion years be so indulgent. I feel sorry for anyone who feels this is an option. These things never last, it will be for sale in a few years when the thrill of having this thing turns into self reflection and realization. Hope when it does you do not feel the need to buy a 50,000 square foot home.

It’s my understanding Mariah was adirect recipient of the stimulus package. Obama signed off the check for the property so they can help boost the economy. In 8 years they will be having the most extravagant hip hop and R&B parties and reverend Wright will be giving sermons in the reception hall twice weekly.

Right on Mariah! She earned her money and can spend it however she wants. Why should she be responsible for other people? From everything I’ve read, she’s worth well over $200 million, so she’s not breaking the bank here. She’s a true and talented diva and deserves to live like one.

Does it have an attached garage?

What is the legal description of this house? How many BR / BA?
Its just interesting to know the details…..for example how big is the avg. bed room in this size place?

If they choose to spend their money this way…. more power to them. If they can get this place at a steal for $125M in a recession or better yet $120, maybe when people start making lots of money again, they can sell it to the next Madoff character that comes around for $200M. You never know

StopHatin is one of those bizarre new world protestant capitalists. I can’t believe that people are so stupid that captialists convinced them that the reason rich people are rich is from hard work and the favoritism of God. That was the argument Louis XVI and all the Royals of Europe used on the public from the dark ages through the revolutions. By 1776 Americans weren’t so stupid to go along with that and by 1789 the French weren’t so stupid. The British monarch’s motto is still Dieu et Mon Droit – “God and My Right” meaning that the monarch has a right to the country, to rule it as he or she sees fit because God gave the country to the monarch.

People are SO STUPID. So many Christians pray for money and social status and a raise and a new car and they have these ridiculous preachers who go on TV and tell people to pray for material goodies. It’s incredible. I don’t doubt that 70% of all American Christians have never read the New Testament and instead merely read small passages for conversation.

Jesus was a radical, a revolutionary. He said it was quite unlikely people with a lot of money would even get into heaven. The meek shall inherit the earth. He was all about the common man. He was all about spirituality and not about getting a big house and a big car and lots of stuff.

I can see praying to Jesus or to God for something to eat if you are hungry, or a safe, warm place to sleep at night if you haven’t one, or for freedom from physical pain, for the health of your family, but to pray for BLING is something only a grotesquely disfigured postmodern American Christian could pray for. It is a manifestation of deep psychological and moral contradictions. It is a contradiction of Christian morality itself.

Postmodern capitalism has proven so powerful that it even owns God now. God works for capitalists. God is the one that gives them their wealth through blessings because God likes BLING too! God wouldn’t be caught dead driving that old Datsun pickup. No way. If you’re down with the Lord, the Lord makes sure you are decked out in Louis Vuitton and a fine BMW.

Stupid people who want to manifest the appearance of being in God’s favor apparently borrow a lot of money and buy stuff in advance of God actually giving them the money because God must have been involved in some bank’s decision to lend the chosen debtor of the Lord. That is to say that God lends to the chosen and then if they remain in God’s good favor, he works out a comfortable repayment plan for them.

I fear that many American Protestants will be taking their own lives soon. Why? Because they ridiculously believe it was God’s favor that allowed them to borrow so much money and so now that they can’t pay it back, it must mean God’s pissed at them and doesn’t like them anymore. After all, if this postmodern Christian argument works consistently, it would mean that all of the people he loved and lent money to, if he still loved them, he’d not have caused their home prices to crash and made it impossible for them to be rich. Right?

To some extent, the real estate debacle must be God’s manifestation of displeasure with the way Americans have chosen to live. If God controls all things and is master of the universe, then what other explanation can their be?

Or maybe we’ve been reduced to a nation of obese, untalented, desperate, vain, consumer junkie idiots who also are as superstitious as the serfs of the dark ages. I’ve placed bets that it’s the latter.

Anyone who purchases a home this year gets an $8,000.00 tax credit from the government that doesn’t have to be repaid, so I think they should go for it.

Sold in 1996 for $5,375,000.

Entertainers aren’t very bright.

Typically the ultra-rich always save money avoiding morgages and pay in cash…. personal lawyers contact the real estate agent(s) and negociate a deal. I am guessing her new (soul mate) is a yes-ma’am kinda guy .

Even I can’t say it my dream home because it is more than that. I am wondering what celebrities want to do and what they do actually. I think they can spend all that money to do something more useful and beneficial for the world. Anyways, that’s too much.

It is amazing that I cannot even imagine that type of money, or a home price. The home is lovely!

It looks bigger than the White House.

This house is just another excuse for the rich-off-of-inheritance or divorce to flaunt their bank accounts. Which i know it’s nowhere near my business to tell anyone in the world how to spend their money, but, i just think it’s kind of ridiculous for someone to build a hotel for a house, spend $125,000,000 for something thats about…10 times too big for even the worlds largest family, when some people sleep in the street out in the rain. I’m not rich, and not poor, but I would def never squander away hundreds of millions just to brag to everyone how rich I am. Just my pinion…everyone has one, and they should all be respected in one way shapr or form. Thanks

Think twice before you buy this one….. Can start a new business instead buying this home..and help recession factor

ANYONE WHO THINKS THAT BUYING A HOME OF THIS MAGNITUDE IS AN OPTION JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE MONEY IS A JOKE AND POOR REPRESENTATION OF WHAT I HUMAN BEING IS. WHY? WHY? WHY? WOULD YOU PURCHASE THIS HOME. THIS IS NOT AN INVESTMENT. ITS AN TRAP! MARIAH AND NICK CANNOT EVEN IN THEIR WILDEST DREAMS AFFORD A $100,000,000 (ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLAR) HOME. IF YOU ARE ONLY WORK 225,000,000 WHY SPEND HALF ON A HOME?? YOU CANNOT MORTGAGE A HOME THAT COSTS THAT MUCH. THIS IS WHY PEOPLE GO BROKE. WHY PEOPLE ARE HOMELESS, WHY PEOPLE ARE BEING KILLED THIS VERY MOMENT AROUND THE WORLD. GREED IN ITS PUREST, UGLIEST, AND MOST VILE FORM. I HAVE NO ISSUES WITH MARIAH OR HER HUSBAND. BUT ITS PEOPLE LIKE YOU IDIOTS THE FUEL THEIR SICKNESS AND MAKE THEM BECOME CELEBRITIES!!

How many times is this ridiculous rumor going to circulate? Its the third time in the past 2 years its popped up with the same potential buyers. Also, just an FYI to zillow for calculating the payment; capital of this structure can not be had for a 20% equity position (50% down payment minimum), and even then you better be a MAJOR shareholder in the bank issuing the note. This property could only be acquired to an all cash buyer, and sorry Nickryaih….but you dont have that kind of cash!

$1.25m wow! That’s some house for a man who began selling used cars in Baltimore!
