From cnbc.com:
Imagine you are 22 years old, getting married, and struggling to find a new home.
It helps when Daddy steps in. Just ask Petra Ecclestone.
According to the Wall Street Journal, Ecclestone’s father, Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone, has bought his daughter a 56,500-square-foot mansion (plus the 17,000-square-foot attic) that Candy Spelling has had on the market for $150 million, the highest U.S. home price ever.
No word on what it actually sold for, and Spelling isn’t talking.
Interview with Candy Spelling about selling the house:
When I hear Warren Buffett saying that he’s only going to leave a small amount (well, small to him) of his fortune to his heirs, I think ‘What is he thinking?’. Then, I hear a story like this…..
I watched this house being built in Hombly Hills area of LA (just off Wilshire by the LA Country Club). . .always wondered who would buy it. . .built during the “Dynasty Era.” Guess Aaron and Candy got carried away and thought they were the fictional Caringtons!
I heard on tv or read somewhere that it sold for half of asking price??
17K sq feet attic, seriously?
For a second there, I thought you’d misspelled, “Sprawling Mansion.”
