You missed your chance to live like Tyler Perry and the other 1% in America.
The multimillionaire media mogul finally sold his Buckhead mansion for a record $17.5 million, making real estate history in the process.
The magnificent 35,000 square-foot palace was touted by the listing agent as “perhaps the most compelling private residence to ever be offered to market in the history of Atlanta.”
The spectacular property boasts 17 manicured acres, a larger-than-Olympic-size swimming pool, an IMAX theater, a tennis court atop a parking deck, and a bedroom with a full-sized tub and massage table adjacent to the 4 poster canopy bed!
The home is not without a history of problems. Five years ago, 3 bungling home invaders broke into the mansion — while Perry was at home in bed. They made it inside Perry’s opulent two-story foyer before one of them — 18-year-old Chloe Ware — was tackled to the floor by his “presidential-level security” guards. The other two burglars got away empty-handed.
Maybe that’s why Perry listed his sprawling property for the original asking price of $25 million?
The house, on the 4100 block of Paces Ferry Rd, is located near the prestigious and absurdly expensive Lovett School for the spawn of the filthy rich.
Is he going to go live by Oprah now?
Look Butter! You made it hun!
Very nice house from what I see. Looks like a castle. If only my salary had one extra 0.
The question I have is who purchased the house?
Crai and Kim loyal readers, what’s Butter?!?
She didn’t give me shoutout. I ain’t made it yet :crying1:
I pass it everyday. It’s amazing
I was mistaken. He bought the house for $7.6M. It was once priced at $40M.
…was tackled to the floor by his “presidential-level security” guards…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
President Obama probably WISHES they were on his security detail…These fools CAN’T or CHOOSE to NOT even tackle in a open field–LITERALLY.
Nope. Douglas County which is near Six Flags over GA.
lol @ at that pic
I’on know. It was a cash only sale though.
I bet that commission check is nice, real nice (Bernie Mac voice)
A shout out for what?
You italicized full size tub like its something unique.
The realtor who sold it deals with high-end real estate. Currently, his least expensive listing is 800K. That commission check was probably around a half mill.
I lived near him I use to take heards ferry rd, from hammonds dr to get home, loved his house…well it was a lot of nice homes over there..”gated” yt folks don’t think you belong over there…..smh
That’s what I’m thinking.
That’s where he moved?? Interesting. I’m surprised he didn’t go further north. Or at least Alpharetta or John’s Creek.
The article I read on AJC said that he was going to build his home on a 1K acre estate. You know the price of land down there is far less expensive than Alpharetta.
…while Perry was in bed…
~~~~~~
Who was the bedmate? Just Woonnnderin’…
Ah, okay. Good point. And good for him for going where he can get the most for his money, not just where it’s trendy to live.
My salary need an extra 000.. Lol!!!
Exactly!
I posted that before I did the math. One 0 won’t do it for me either!
I bet! If the picture is this beautiful… I can imagine how amazing the house looks in person!!!
Probably the baby maker that is on his payroll
I need to see pictures of that tub… it must be nnniiiccceee!!!
I remember this house in Diary of a Mad Black Women. Is the tub that the handicap husband got rolled into the “full size tub” you speak of Auntie?!!
Who the hell bought that???
THAT’S A LONG ARSE WALK FROM THE PARKING GARAGE TO THE HOUSE…
Probably Donald Trump… He probably asked for his vote/endorsement in return
LMBO!!!! I said the SAME THING!!! He must have a hired person that valet people’s cars for them.
Imagine the cost of just the upkeep and maintenance on a house like that.
Not to mention the property taxes. wow.
Ok…i thought he built this one…wonder why he didnt stay
This place is so damn gaudy!!!
Let me go and win this power ball
Looks like what I saw on The Boondocks
No wife nor kids live there.. Just a whooole lof of his light skin without shirts sweating n glissening all over his mansion…
???
Did they ever show who break in??
Yep, Could have been mine, to my surprise I was out bid!
They outbid me for sure. I didnt want to pay more than $16 million.
Very Beautiful. I would want to vacation but not live day to day. I watch too much Dateline at night, I would be scared there’s some man might be living in the West wing of the house without my knowledge. If I get tired walking to from one side of my house to the other it’s too big for me. Maybe I would feel different if I had those coins and lifestyle, I guess those rooms could be full of his family/friends(but who wants that everyday?) LOL
That’s the thing about real estate sales. You can hit a bunch of home runs, and live lovely… or you can strike out over and over and find yourself broke and looking for a new job soon.
Most of the people I know who got their real estate license ended up in that second category.
Damn! I passed my real estate exam too. I just took it to encourage a friend. I must be crazy. I better get on out there. LOL
It was listed in June.
They both need better detail if you ask me.
Actually the commission is about 8% and this team brokered both sides of the deal…. for a total of $1,400,000 in commission. yeeeeaaahhh and if it was the minimum of 6% then the commission was $1,050,000. This is why I LOVE real estate!
It’s hard work… and no one to tell you to get up and do it! Those who can motivate themselves can win… others do enough to survive. Real estate is work 24/7 until you build your customer base. So I’m working HARD!
yeeeeeees you have to have looooonnngggg money to keep it up.
yeeeeeees you have to have looooonnngggg money to keep it up.
I didn’t know he brokered both sides. Talk about a win!
Tooo much…
lol
Ditto. Maybe next time :-/
? is this Luther Vandross’s old crib?
? is this Luther Vandross’s old crib?
My bad love, I didn’t read
Must be nice.
He actually built this house from the ground up to his specification….massive it is.
………………
The broker pulled in almost a million dollars for selling the home…even splitting with other agents still brings home a pretty penny…
Were any of the realtors from “Selling it in the ATL” in on this deal? Did the Nigerian investor’s wife finally find a home that met their standards? More details please. Lol
That home is ridiculous. I love it. It’s valued a little over $16M. I knew he would never get $25M for it, but even still, he walks away with a million dollar+ profit.
lol. Tyler built it from the ground up.
Yep, just like the Evander Holyfield estate Rick Ross bought (100+acres), I know you’re spendinging 100k a month average to maintain this estate. You know some foreign money bought this though.
Nah, that was his Fairburn, GA mansion. I know you’re thinking that though because of those dramatic long stairs in the front.
You’re referring to Dean Gardens, the Alpharetta, GA estate. I’m a real estate fanatic and love mansions like this one and Dean Gardens.
But I recall reading somewhere that he owned LV’s old house and used it as a prop for most of his movies..?
Youte right!
Doll Black folks don’t do business with Black folks anymore. Ms Perry doubtless gave the listing to a white buckhead broker. Just like her girlfriend Oprah did in Chicago.
Wait…hol’ up! He had an *IMAX* theater in his house??? You betta gone head on, Tyler!!!
All that house and no wife/husband and kids?? A waste in my opinion.
No shemar Moore’s garage
Yep!!! Lol…
