Michael Jackson was an American singer, songwriter, record producer, dancer, and actor. He was popularly known as “King of Pop”. Michael Jackson lived here before his mysterious death that took place in his bedroom.
The grandeur style of the mansion is what drew Jackson to the 17,000-square foot French Chateau-style estate that was the creation of Hubert Guez, CEO of Hardy Designs, and his wife Roxanne Guez. In 2002, they hired L.A. designer Richard Landry to create a one-of-a-kind estate, which sits on over an acre in the prestigious Holmby Hills real estate market.
Michael Jackson house was a 7-bedroom, 13-bathroom home, finished with high-end amenities such as a theater, wine cellar with tasting room, an elevator, 14 fireplaces, a spacious spa with gym and a large swimming pool. When construction was completed, it was designed to sell and priced at $38 million on the Beverly Hills real estate market. That’s when Jackson fell in love with the property.
“Michael loved the master bedroom and he loved the grounds, he was happy there.” explained his mother.
The home was leased for Jackson by concert promoter AEG Live from December 2008 up until his death in June 2009 for a reported $100,000 a month. And it was here where Jackson was preparing for his comeback tour, “This is It” when he died of a drug overdose for which his personal physician, Conrad Murray, was later convicted of involuntary manslaughter.
