Reality TV star and R&B singer Tamar Braxton is finally unloading her and husband Vincent Herbert‘s high maintenance Calabasas, Calif. mansion.
Page Six notes that the couple listed their luxurious Mediterranean style manse for a whopping $15 million.
Tamar and Vince purchased the 13,716-square-foot, 7 bedroom house for $10.5 million in 2013.
The reasons for the sale are most likely financial. Tamar and Vince have been burdened with massive debt for years. A judge recently ordered the portly music executive to pay Sony more than $3.7 million to settle a lawsuit over an advance that the record company loaned him.
Additionally, public records shows Tamar and Vince have fallen behind on their mortgage numerous times over the years. Their mortgage lender filed (and retracted) multiple notices of default threatening to take the house.
Then there are the rumors that Tamar cheated on Vince with a television executive linked to TV mogul Steve Harvey, who promised Tamar her own TV talk show which never materialized.
The well-appointed home boasts 9 full baths and 2 half baths, a man cave with authentic barber chair, a hair salon, stone-paved loggia overlooking the Olympic sized pool with canvas shade awnings and a dining table that easily seats 24, a home theater, recording studio, a mirror-walled gym and a subterranean (underground) parking garage that can accommodate over a dozen cars.
Neighbors in the exclusive, guard-gated Estates at The Oaks enclave include Kourtney Kardashian, Khloé Kardashian, Michael Jackson’s mother Katherine Jackson, Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker, and TV therapist Dr. Phil‘s son Jay MGraw.

Nice overpriced house….. That’s all I got.
That house looks more like a museum than a home and it seems too old for them.
Im loving the underground parking lot.
Dang Tamar!!!! I felt like I was living in this house with you. I don’t want to sell!!!!
I mean I think I can afford to pay the cable bill..
i am always curious, why this family of 3 needed so much space. I’m also curious as to is every room furnished? Does your staff have to dust everyday? It looks cold. What is the heat bill like for this joint?
They need to hire P/imp Mom Kardashian.
Girl, that heat bill probably equates to all of my bills in 1 month. But I think most celebrities do this but I never understood it either so I figured it just come with being a celeb. Toni did it, Mariah Carey prior to them twins I remember her home on MTV cribs and thinking the same thing……J Los house…..
My home would be the size of the guest house. That’s a whole lotta windows to clean.
The floor in the kitchen looks amazing… At least they are going to get more for the house than they paid…
Shit when i bought my house, i furnished one room at a time when i had the money to and dont me started on how i walked around in sweatsuits so i could put off turning on my heat.
Lol, i couldnt even afford the cable. I cancelled my cable and got me an Android box with Live TV for $15/month.
Whats an android box? The same thing as the Fire Stick? I got the firestick thinking I could get rid of my cable but then every time I tried to watch certain shows, they be like you don’t have an active account. FUQQQQ. I want to break up with Xfinity!
It streams live tv using your internet..Not sure what firestick is but with my box, i have a tv guide and more channels then when i paid for cable. All the PPV channels and sports channels are there to plus Video on Demand so i can watch movies that are still in theatres. You have to wait for a good quality version for sum but i would never go back to cable. I just pay the little extra for unlimited internet. Saving myself over $200 a month.
That’s just ridiculous
That’s ridiculous.. that’s too big of a house for Two or 3 ppl.. what a waste.
It sounds like its the same type of devices as the Amazon Fire stick but did you have to get this android box broken? With the firestick you have to get someone to break it in order to get the free movies and stuff and you have to wait as well for clear versions to get uploaded too. I just never heard of this one in particular. Please let me know if you have to get it broken before you are able to gain access to the options of in theatre movies, etc.
I LOVE the kitchen (one of my favorite rooms in a house), but that’s it. The rest is too gaudy for my taste.
To me, it looks like a hotel.
what a big what a big beautiful home! So sad that they have to unload it. I think celebrities buy these Mansions because it lowers their taxes. They’ve got to spend their money on something. It might as well be real estate…
It’s a nice house. Too big, but nice.
???
LIVE WITHIN YOUR MEANS
No, they are ASKING for more than they paid. Who knows what they will actually get. Also, they likely pumped another $2 mil or more into it on improvements, so that brings their investment up to about $12. Plus you calculate the amount of mortgage interest they’ve paid over the last 4 years and IF they”re able to get their asking price, they may be looking at maybe $1.5 to 2mil in profit. MAYBE. But it is certainly a beautiful home, so they may indeed be able to do a quick sale since it is CA.
I agree 100%
I got one of those boxes – cost me 41 bucks from Wal-Mart! I don’t care if I watch shows a day or so later as long I watch them. Best investment I’ve made all year!
I really like the interior. I thought the cowhide chairs in the barbershop room was a nice touch. The wood floors look really great.
Good Morning Roses, Thorns and Naysayers – Who to say they aren’t upgrading? Or moving back to the Rich and Famous Atlanta, to be with her mother who is not getting younger.
Have a good day and stay positive.

I tell these young athletes I work with to live as if you didn’t hv a multi million dollar contract. Quit renting and if you buy mom a home make sure that the utilities and upkeep are affordable. You buy her a home and you are cut or injured then what? You don’t hv to take care of everyone. If you do make sure they know this is it better make it work. And don’t let any money go out unless you approve it. That house was waaay to big for them in my opinion. I can see Tamar now ” Uhmm what?! Where the coins going? Like seriously her upkeep is essential and she has to be poppin” I can’t be out here looking crazy. She is me and I know her and she needs money. Ya know?! *smack her mouth* o. k….
Wasn’t the mom living there?
Maybe the furniture came with it? If not I bet the interior decorator didn’t come cheap. As much as I don’t like the succubus women (Khardashian). I do like their interior decorator
I didnt have to get it broken to watch the free movies but for the live tv you do have to find someone who can set it up for you. I get mines done over the phone and e-transfer the money once i see its working. Some people will give you like an hr free trial when you set it up so you can decide if you want live tv or not. If you dont go with live tv, you can always search for the shows you want to watch and stream it.
Yup! Cable TV will never see a dime from me again!
closed up in my bedroom with a space heater, i hardly ever turned the heat on. sigh. that was my single days though.
I suggest ALL FOLKS become “Minimalists”
We buy Too Much to Impress Folks
Who don’t give a Daym about your Well being.
This house shows alot of Insecurity in the Relationship.
You had a snuggie??.. lol I hate heat so I was good in the winter.
I read somewhere that he had to pay Sony because he didn’t show up to court. Tf? I guess if you know that you are going to lose, why waste money on attorney? But, at least they could have possibly negotiated a lower settlement amount.
This is why folks end up broke. Yes, she has money. But $15 million dollar house money? The music industry $$ is weak. You can download a whole album for $2 on some sites; and free on others. And maintaining a house like that is 10’s of thousand a MONTH. Yes, spoil yourself, but not into the poor house.
I think it’s the image thing the glamour etc… Like if they lived in anything smaller they would get laughed at. But I love lofts and hv always lived in one. I would love to buy a loft that was once an old building.
May I say, Upgrading doesn’t necessarily mean “Monetary” it could me Understanding your “Net Worth” is not about Materialism. I hope they are coming together for the sake of Marriage and raising another human being.
They don’t hear you, though!!!!
I remember when they got this house Vince was showing it off to their friends and he got outta breath an had to go to bed. One of their friends said this house is toooo big. She wasn’t saying it out of jealousy she was saying it out of ridiculous.
im so afraid of space heaters, though i use one in my office. They make me nervous in the house.
I never understood why they moved from the previous manse they had, it was gorgeous.
Nice house. I hope they get what they’re asking for it. I love some of the pieces they have in there. Real nice. #thumbsup
im the exact opposite, I hate air conditioning, i barely use one in the summer. I like a fan occasionally. But in the winter, i like heat, i love my fireplace and i love to be toasty
What did they do with ALL that money Sony advanced them? Smh
Now I see why Tamar is exited Epic Records.
tried it. LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!
This house shows alot of Insecurity in the Relationship

lol did he really go to bed…(giggling)
as a person and couple who knows “wealth” and owns properties. As one is the only way to be in a marriage that last the test of time.
This blog is not that serious as you were trying be. I bid you a marvelous day.
she has been absolutely turrible these past few weeks… https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/b029c76378ea5eb0d17be0ae40b316f329298b08b0b47105020d3c5aaea4a82e.gif
The décor is cheap trash. The architecture is heaven. The kitchen is magnificent.
Wasted money! Even If I had money like that, I bet I would be buying a affordable house that I could live in. Celebrities continue to live above their means then try and sneak and sell their homes
*deep sigh*

Now that is the truth. When you are talking dollars and SENSE. You have to be wise about your funds. Up keep have you tired.
Did you have it set up with Kodi?
Never heard of an android box. I’ll have to look into it. Thanks for the tip
I think it’s nice, if that your taste. It looks nice.
My is preference traditional/vintage, but from the looks of it. They have a contemporary and modern vibe. You can spend a NICE penny on those tufted coaches.

Good Morning
Im cheap and hubby doesnt like to be hot but we have two kids who cant stay still to save their lives so we have to heat the house…lol.
this is lovely, and i LIVE for that pool area and outdoor dining setup… dining al fresco with a lovely view….. *swoons*
i see your pill kicked in this mornting… i’m not here for it.
(yes i am) https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/bb4264f7d4d7227830d50436ebc02fe52f854ab6633bc6dbb91c04c30c8efcd0.gif https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/7c4e319ac4d688ef952fd5dab84af8e3cab22d9aedd2f87a4f77862f33197f69.gif
I have DirectTV now.. 30 a month for a decent amount of live TV/cable channels. I bought the flat panel antenna so I get 40 channels of broadcast TV. I have a jailbroken firestick but it can be unreliable. Plus with the App I can watch live tv on my phone at work… Nothing like my midday living single and fresh prince of bel air
Beautiful house and why are people happy for other people’s failures? A lot of people deal with this everyday rich or not.
Okay, you “Got Me”. I was in a certain “Mood” this morning. Just felt like commenting. Same to you – Enjoy to the fullest.
Why have ROOMS and SPACE you can’t Occupy on any given day. How about being “Cozy and Together” Time passes so FAST. STUFF does not make the HEART grow fonder after REAL TRIALS and TRIBULATIONS. My thoughts.
Too much for my tastes. I prefer a cozy medium sized wooden cabin by the lake. Fishing, streams, and apple trees for company.
It’s amazing how much stuff some of us have that we don’t use. I was packing my house up to move, then changed my mind, but didn’t unpack all the kick knacks and stuff. I feel less crowded in my house now. I gave away furniture and don’t plan on replacing it. Every day I look around for more things to get rid of. The more room I have, the more I clutter it up. I’ll never be a minimalist, but right now I have hoarder tendencies, so I’m looking for a happy medium lol.
“hoarder tendencies” LOL!

i too am looking for that balance between comfy and cluttery, Lol! i tell myself that it’s hard to get rid of things because i only buy quality *pinkie up* LOL!
Tell me more please!
It’s all good, I was raised to respond in the most kindest and positive way. Sometimes it pays off, sometimes not so well. HUGS

and that home will likely sell for less
did u just curse me under your breath like a true church mother? https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/b029c76378ea5eb0d17be0ae40b316f329298b08b0b47105020d3c5aaea4a82e.gif
I’m not liking the couches I dont care how much they cost
I thought they were renting that house that they clearly could not afford. At ont point they never even had furniture. I’ll never understand why people go broke trying to show off to others. That place was way too big for 2 adults and 1 child.
Oh, money is not the issue. I only committed because they are couches that always stand the test of time. I see then in all types of fabrics. Umm that’s all.
JEEZ
Pretty murch, now go sit down and read the daily word.
Real whealthy people like Gates , Zuckerburg , Amazon guy don’t live like this .
Financial savyness is key to keeping your money for generations to come , this is hood rich .
Do better T!
They look like they hurt the azz area
Zuckerburg has stolen land that was passed down to native Hawaiians. He lives on a big piece of land that he has stolen and wont give back..it costs more than Tamar’s house?????…
Land is key , now that’s investment , stolen or not , I’m talking about how to invest and not just keeping up with the Jones and living for the Gram .
Well as long as they make a profit and they are up… I don’t see why people love to see others downfall. The people on her tv show was soooo jealous of her and her lifestyle they got her booted from the show she basically help make interesting.
Hi Miss Nancy ! Nice reading you again .
Hugs
They moved at least twice on the show, each house bigger than the last. Seemed like Vince was always trying to satisfy Tamar’s gluttony.
When my husband and I purchased our first home it was 3500sq feet and I was pregnant. People were asking us why do y’all need such a big house it’s only three people? Because we want to was the answer. We furnished it one room at a time. If I was rich I don’t think I need a 15000 sq foot home, but that’s their choice…outside the celebrity world people downsize everyday because of the costs to maintain or they upgrade because they want more…it happens.
This manse is breathtaking. They have good taste in furnishings and decor schemes.
This is living.
Lies you tell. All the people you mentioned live on estates lol Stop giving out hotep financial advice lol
Why the fck did they need all this to begin with?! Who all lives there, her, him and one damn toddler?! Chit doesn’t even make any sense, did she learn nothing from her big sis financial issues over the years?
That sounds beautiful!
Lmao!
hey Shug! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/42e766825cc2dd5dbc519049a6665384ef032d605184f428da26f418913d9567.gif

yeah they do. Gates house has 100% the highest most expensive and latest high tech items that any human being can get their hands on in 2017 and beyond!!! his home is not built anything like their home but it is a more toned down mansion of some sort. his money goes more towards using his private planes and buying expensive fuel and paying for pilots to fly it also.
but hey he has so much money to live an awesome life for him and his family but what is even better is he has more that he gives away. so beautiful. this is a man with so much money and such a big heart that he stays up trying to figure out where he can give more away to help mankind. I think their home is on the market for Vince to pay that court judgement maybe.
It’s not lies , I’m no financial advisor by any means , I just wouldn’t be flashy and extravagant unless I can really ‘” own ” it .
What’s hotep? Lol
Nonsense whatsoever ! But ok.
Ok thanks…maybe Ill check this out. How much does it cost for someone to set it up. Its about $50 to $100 for the firestick if you don’t know anyone like a friend.

Gorgeous home. However, it is very over the top just like Tamar lol.
Dayum! Hotep financial advice ????
Over the top home, a waste of funds, simpler is always better. I want to have a nice sized home that i can actually clean each room myself. Even when I AM wealthy, I won’t OD. Don’t make sense. I plan to live frugally with money in the bank. Good luck with selling Tamar and Vince.
Maybe it was their means at some point.
They all live in luxurious mansions, specially Gates. The difference is that they are billionaires and the cost of the homes and all that goes with it is never an issue. When millions are no longer coming in and you have financial troubles like this couple, all of a sudden, your mansion becomes and albatross and gotta get rid of it. LA county has high property taxes, then there is maintenance and security for the home. It adds up so, gotta sell.
The home is lovely and fitting if you have a large family. I would take it but smaller and more manageable. No shame in that.
it’s a done DEAL if you don’t know it’s In your Subconscious Mind
to be like the OPPRESSOR who are not HAPPY with all the $$$ they have.
We all need to Pull together and Be what THEY are NOT.
Been there. Done that. Life has a funny way of Allotting you to choose LIFE or LONGINGS.
i think zuck is the one that purchased his home and all the lots around it. can’t nobody even get close to that mugg. plus vince money ain’t a tenth as long as the folks you mention.
vince gon’ wind up like joe guidice.
But how was she going to show her sisters that she was the richest and happiest of them all?
I think the mom moved back to Atlanta.
I totally don’t get why celebrities need to spend that much money on a house.
? ?
well, I’ve chosen abundant life AND an abundance of things, LOL! i always have enough to share, and i share freely *shrug*
Excellent advice. The ability to pay the upkeep and utilities, very important. One of the most overlooked facts.
they didnt need that big asss house anyway
Kodi for the free movies. DTV for the Live TV.
Ion know always thought she had her own house
I gotcha. Nothing against your commet. ???
They do…lol
Its beautiful but, why so much house?
Mark Zukerberg’s plain black t-shirts cost $300-$400. Wealthy white people spend money on all types of extravagant and plain ish. WE have to stop lying to ourselves that they don’t spend money, they DO lol They just can AFFORD to whereas we do a lot on credit or with a lot less money.
Mortgage??? WTF??? I thought Vince was worth millions, what does he need a loan for??? He could have purchased a nice home for $1 million in cash and wouldn’t be in this mess. I will never understand the financial choices of some people. Why does the company you work for need to loan you an advance if you are already making income??? And why do you need house that size for only three people??? When will these celebs learn??? If I hit Powerball, I’m not getting loans for shit, I will buy everything outright, that way, no debt! Sad fact is that most lottery winners have blown through their money or died because of it. How the hell can you be worth millions and you have loans to pay back??? What in the entire hell??? Sad. Most people do not deserve their good fortune. Let God bless someone with common sense please!
Why did they purchase a home that they obviously couldn’t afford?
Why did they burden themselves with a huge estate and mortgage just to impress others who would later smirk at their inability to hold on to the home?
I think they both like to stunt.
no family of 3 needs that much room. its too big. they were extremely foolish
i dont get it either. i guess a 1 million dollar home is too cheap
Ok nobody says you shouldn’t enjoy the finer things in life but tell me why the hell would you buy a 7 bedroom house when only three of ya’ll living there? idk idk
Opulent. Above their means.
Most Hollywood types buy those opulent houses because 1) they can borrow against it – 2nd mortgage; they can get $Millions$ against the house vs. thousands against the house. And 2) flip it for a profit.
Meanwhile LeBron won’t even pay $4.99 to skip the ads on Pandora.
Sooooo, is it officially over?!!!!
EXACTLY!!!!! FOOLS!!!
Okay!!! ?????
Im just wating on the divorce ? Tamar steady acting like she beyonce.. shes talented but her attitude stinks.
She bragged and bragged on this terrible house that has a lot of issues beginning with flooding roof issues water coming in etc…..what goes up must come fown she bragged on living in a house that ws 15 mill but a leaking roof ???? ok Tamar….lesson here is STOP BRAGGING about material things!!!!
