MARY L. BLIGE – $8.9 MILLION, NEW JERSEY

Mary J. Blige’s luxury house in Saddle River, New Jersey was put on the market for $8.9 million, which was significantly lower than the price of $13 million when it was purchased, but considering she was facing the National Revenue Agency millions of dollars in arrears and the need to pay alimony to the separated husband, this was a choice that have to be made. Blige is not the first owner of this mansion, and obviously it will not be the last.

It was once the former residence of Rosie O’Donnell. This mansion covers an area of 20,000 square feet and is about an hour and a half from Manhattan. It has 8 bedrooms, nine bathrooms and three half toilets, home theater, gym, sauna, steam room, wine cellar and an indoor half basketball field. In addition to the conventional stairs, the three-story mansion is also equipped with elevators to make it easier to go up and down.
