Celebrity homes are among the most glamorous and most expensive in today's real estate market and throughout the recession, celebs have had their share of trouble selling high-priced properties.
However, a celebrity listing can carry with it the intangible feature of being the former home of a pop culture personality, adding more allure than a larger pool or additional bedrooms may for a similar high-end home.
Real estate website Zillow compiled for CNBC.com a list of 12 celebrity homes that currently listed for sale, and as it turns out, each property is as unique as the celebrity who is selling.
Michael Jackson
 |
Listing price: $28,995,000
Interior: 17,171 sqft
Bedrooms: 7
Bathrooms: 13
Although the listing price has dropped more than $9 million from 2008, it is also infamously the home where Michael Jackson passed away last year, which could potentially either lure or scare away buyers. Although Jackson did not own the home, he was renting it for a reported $100,000 per month while he rehearshed his "This is It" tour.
This French Chateau is located in the Holmby Hills area of Los Angeles and includes a "glamorous" theater room, wine cellar, elevator, gym, guest house, a pool and expansive gardens on the 1.26 acre property. The home also features 12 fireplaces and an indoor spa.
In order to even view the home, interested buyers must go through an extensive "pre-buying" check, to avoid any paparazzi.
