Four months after Nuno Bettencourt hoisted his longtime residence atop the Beachwood Canyon neighborhood of Los Angeles on the market for just under $4 million, the veteran Portuguese-American musician has officially handed the keys over to a new owner. Records show the 57-year-old lead guitarist of the iconic Boston rock band Extreme—who also regularly tours with pop superstar Rihanna—has sold the contemporary spread to a non-famous buyer for $3.7 million. Though that’s around $200,000 less than Bettencourt originally wanted, it’s still a healthy $1.6 million more than he paid for the place a little over a decade ago, back in spring...

Queen drummer Roger Taylor wants to be a real estate champion. He is attempting to get in the rhythm of selling his 1933 Hollywood Hills hacienda, listing the perfectly preserved Spanish Revival for $6,195,000. It appears the British-born rocker has been renting out the Los Angeles property for some time, listing it for as much as $20,000 per month and most recently for $18,000. It’s understandable how bothrenters and full-time residents would adore this 4,368-square-foot home on King’s Road, coincidentally just a stone’s throw from Queen’s Way, both overlooking the notoriously action-filled section of the Sunset Strip.

The owner of a controversial $20 million 'sky mansion' built on top of 400ft skyscraper might actually never end up living there. I think the majority of us would likely build a house or purchase an expensive property if we instantly became a millionaire. Many would opt for an exotic beachside location, while others may decide on a penthouse in a big city. However, none of that was good enough for businessman Vijay Mallya's mansion, as although it has lush gardens, an infinity pool, a helipad and a surrounding deck - something you would expect of a residence on a sprawling country estate - it just so happens to be about 400 feet in the sky. Built on top of the Kingfisher Towers in UB...

What goes up must come down. That rule applies to Sir Rod Stewart’s sprawling Los Angeles compound, which, two months after a significant price bump, has now had $6 million chopped from its asking price. The canary-colored mansion first hit the market for $70 million in June. In December, its ask was pumped up to $80 million, and this week’s adjustment has left the sticker price on the European-inspired estate at $74 million. Either way, the sale will spell a big profit for the “Maggie May” singer, 79, who bought the roughly 3-acre estate for $12.08 million in 1991, records show, and drafted architect Richard...

In Naples, Florida, a sprawling waterfront compound has hit the market for a potentially record-breaking $295 million.If it sells for anywhere close to that stratospheric asking price, the deal will take the crown as the priciest residential sale the United States has ever seen. Specifically, it would surpass the record set by hedge fund billionaire Ken Griffin, who paid roughly $240 million for a combination penthouse at 220 Central Park South in Manhattan in early 2019. The financier John Donahue reportedly saw the then-undeveloped stretch of land, known as Gordon Pointe, while flying over it and declared “I want to go there” to his wife, Rhodora Donahue. In 1985, he did...
