The property — which sold in April 2020 for a staggering $51 million — is estimated to have doubled in price since changing ownership due to the city’s rising house prices. Overlooking the iconic harbour, the opulent playhouse is based in Point Piper, often considered the most prestigious postcode in...

A Georgia man claims he returned home from caring for his sick wife to find that squatters had changed the locks on his home and moved in — and now local laws are blocking him from evicting the alleged freeloaders. “Basically, these people came in Friday, broke into my house and had a U-Haul move all their stuff in. It’s frustrating. It’s very frustrating. I can’t even sleep,” DeKalb man Paul Callins told WSB-TV. Callins had sunk thousands of dollars into the home and renovated it with his own hands after he inherited it from his late father, but since squatters moved in, he’s found himself facing nothing but obstacles to evicting the alleged...

The mystery of the billions of dollars worth of stock sold by some of the wealthiest in the world despite the market continuing at an all time high remains. The tech bubble showed it was under extreme strain throughout 2023 with mass layoffs hitting Silicon Valley while President Joe Biden has promised a hike in taxes for the super rich should he win reelection in November. As JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon pointed out in a grim earnings statement in October: 'This may be the most dangerous time the world has seen in decades.' At the tail end of last year, it was reported that wealthy investors kept less than 25 percent of their net assets in the stock market. Investors sell off for a...

An estate in L.A.’s Northridge neighborhood once owned by Richard Pryor — and the site where the late comedian famously set himself on fire in 1980 — has hit the market. Known as Hacienda de los Suenos, the gated, walled property is currently owned by one-time pro football player Rashard Mendenhall, who became a TV writer on Ballers post-NFL. According to Mansion Global, Mendenhall purchased thespread, located in the Sherwood Forest enclave of Northridge, for $2.5 million in 2017; he’s now set his sale price at $4.236 million, an homage to the total rushing yards he had in his career of 4,236. “I’m a fan of Richard Pryor,” Mendenhall told Mansion...

In a tale that veers from the dream of instant wealth to the harsh reality of financial loss, a woman in England finds herself back at square one after winning and subsequently losing nearly two million euros in the lottery. Despite the turn of events, she insists her spending was judicious. Eighteen years ago, Lara Griffiths hit the jackpot, securing 1.8 million pounds (approximately 2.097 million euros) from the British lottery.

Once back in England, the couple invested 150,000...

POV: buying a plot of land with the dream of building your forever home, then you return to find a $1.5 million house built on it. This is what actually happened to the vacant lot bought by Dr Daniel Kenigsberg. The doctor, who specializes in endocrinology, is taking the owner of the ‘cuckoo’ house to court. The home ended his long-term hopes of owning a house next door to his childhood home. Situated in New Haven, Connecticut, Kenigsberg bought the half-acre strip at 51 Sky Top Terrace back in 1991. His father bought the home nearby for just $5,000 in 1953 – so it had sentimental significance. His family even bought the lot directly from Eleazar Parmly Jr....
