Billionaire Laurene Powell Jobs has purchased a mansion for around $70 million in the Pacific Heights neighborhood of San Fransisco — a record price for a home in the city, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing unnamed people familiar with the transaction.   Powell Jobs, the founder of impact investing and philanthropy firm the Emerson Collective and the widow of Apple founder Steve Jobs, bought the property in an off-market deal from Sloan Lindemann Barnett and Roger Barnett, the CEO of natural nutrition company Shaklee Corp.   The Barnett couple had bought the Spanish Renaissance Revival-style mansion in 2011 for $33 million, the WSJ report said.

Long before actor Johnny Depp sidled up to Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, he lived — back in the 1990s — in an idyllic West Village carriage house triplex with supermodel Kate Moss. Now, that stunning carriage house, in conjunction with a 19th-century Federal-style brick townhouse at 112 Waverly Place, has just sold for $12 million — roughly a year after it hit the market for $15.5 million, Gimme Shelter has learned.

Peter Avitabile sat in his pickup truck outside his Rockland townhouse — a place he hadn't set foot in for two years — fuming about the tenant who refused to pay rent and refused to leave. “God forbid someone pay to live in their property,” Avitabile said, staring at the front door of the apartment he first rented to the tenant in November of 2020.  “I paid for this woman to live there for two years now, on my own dime, and I'm probably never going to see that money again.” With sky-high rents and a lack of affordable housing, it can be hard to have sympathy for landlords. Massachusetts has instituted strong protections against unscrupulous...

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is officially in full swing in Singapore - but not everyone's pleased. The 'Bad Blood' hitmaker has been on tour since March 2023, and the Eras Tour has since been crowned as the highest-grossing tour of all time. So far, Swift has travelled North and South America and Australia, and is currently in Singapore. Swift won't be touring in the likes of Thailand or Indonesia and she reportedly struck a deal with the Singapore government to only tour there - in favor of its neighboring countries. For the exclusivity, the 'Anti-Hero' singer is reportedly being paid a whopping $3 million per show. (Taylor Swift pictured on her Eras Tour in Singapore. Credits: Ashok...

A Los Angeles compound with a stand-alone chapel is coming on the market for $38.5 million. The gated property, which measures about 1.4 acres in tony Brentwood Park, has a Spanish Colonial Revival-style house built around 1928, as well as a guesthouse and poolhouse. The chapel was added around 2004 by longtime owners Helen and David G. Price, Christians who became devout later in life, according to Craig McDonald, Helen’s son from a previous marriage. The Mission Revival-style chapel was “a space for them to be able to go and have time and quiet and to study,” he said. The late David Price founded American Golf Corp., which managed golf courses, in the 1970s, and...

This California compound has passed from one star to another.At the end of a cul-de-sac in Los Angeles’s gated Hidden Hills neighborhood, Sylvester Stallone has sold his sprawling residence to Creedence Clearwater Revival co-founder John Fogerty. The “Fortunate Son” in the deal would certainly appear to be Fogerty, 78, who paid $17.2 million for the mansion — $1 million less than the $18.15 million “Rocky” star, 77, paid for the pad less than 2 years ago, in spring 2022 — and $5.3 million less than his $22.5 million asking price for it, Robb Report first reported. During his brief ownership of the estate, Stallone made barely any renovations to...
