One of the most expensive pieces of real estate now on the market in the United States is a land parcel on exclusive Indian Creek Island off the coast of Miami — and a deep-pocketed prospective owner can call Jeff Bezos their neighbor. Thing is, that buyer will need to be as wealthy as Bezos. The small, undeveloped plot of waterfront land — just 1.84 acres — is on the market for a staggering $200 million. It’s a sky-high price, but it’s not the priciest now for sale in America. That title goes to a sprawling waterfront compound across the state in affluent Naples, which listed in early 2024 for a breathtaking $295 million.   (Jeff Bezos.Getty Images...

If you're a longtime K-drama fan, it wouldn't be surprising to know that your foray into Korean entertainment was with a series starring Lee Min Ho. The 37-year-old is arguably the most recognisable Korean actor in the world right now, even in India. His filmography features cult classics like Boys Over Flowers, The Heirs and The Legend of the Blue Sea, while his more recent works are The King: Eternal Monarch and Pachinko. Lee Min Ho is currently headlining When the Stars Gossip, South Korea's first space rom-com K-drama.

These days, building up to our first property often takes years of saving – unless you’re buoyed by generational wealth or happen to win the lottery. If you’re looking for a unique opportunity to get on the property ladder, a one-bedroom flat has hit the market in Birmingham for just £1. But naturally, there’s a catch. The third-floor flat needs a considerable amount of modernising, so this is definitely a doer-upperproject (unless you want to keep the hot pink bathroom complete with what appears to be a mould-stricken bathtub in-tact). In the past, electricity, water and sewage have been supplied to the property, but the listing notes that the existing...

Actor Jim Carrey has found a buyer for his Los Angeles mansion after knocking almost $10 million off the original asking price. The 10,954-square-foot home in Brentwood went into contract this week. It was most recently asking $19.75 million, down from $28.9 million when the property was first listed in early 2023. Carrey purchased the five-bedroom home in 1994, the same year he starred in three Hollywood hits, “Ace Ventura: Pet Detective,” “Dumb and Dumber” and “The Mask.” It’s located on a 2-acre property and includes a guest house, an Art Deco-style theater, a round sunroom surrounded by French doors, and a treetop yoga and meditation...

IMAGINE browsing for books at a bookstore—only to find the Sultan of Perak, Sultan Nazrin Muizzuddin Shah doing the same thing just a few shelves away! That’s exactly what happened to one lucky woman. Fatin Nurshazlin took to Threads to share her unexpected encounter with the Perak ruler while browsing the economics section at Kinokuniya Malaysia. “I was carefully picking out books for this month’s reading list.

A Los Angeles home that was reduced to rubble in the January Palisades fire has become one of the hottest properties on the market, drawing more than 60 offers and entering escrow for well over $1 million — despite being listed for just $999,000. The once four-bedroom wood-and-stucco house in Pacific Palisades was worth an estimated $2.7 million before flames tore through the area. Now, it’s little more than a scorched lot with two standing chimneys. But that didn’t stop a flood of investors eager to cash in on a rebuild.   (Once valued at $2.7 million, it is now in escrow for over $1 million, highlighting the demand for fire-ravaged properties despite ongoing...

A remote Australian town that will soon lose its only doctor is offering a salary of up to 680,000 Australian dollars ($428,000), plus free rent and a car, to attract a new candidate. The remote Queensland town of Julia Creek, population 500, is offering about double the salary a family physician would earn in the state’s capital, Brisbane. The catch is that Brisbane is a 17-hour drive away. The closest major city, Townsville, is a seven-hour drive. Prospective applicants must embrace searing heat and tropical insects, too. But the town’s outgoing medic, Dr. Adam Louws, says his replacement will also find a quieter pace of life and the chance to learn skills they’ve...
