The Kardashian family home, the one that’s seen on the hit TV show “Keeping Up with the Kardashians,” is up for sale. If you’re interested, owning it will set you back $6.495 million. The famous abode is lavishly roomy with seven bedrooms and eight bathrooms. In total, the residence takes up 7,240 square feet. It was built in 1983 and has a grand Italian fountain at the front. Additionally, there’s a library, a media room, and a wine cellar capable of fitting 2,000 bottles. Outside, a beautiful saltwater pool and waterfall await some new owners to delight.

The mansion is found in a gated community in Studio City. It’s not the first time the home’s made an appearance on the house listing scene. In 2008, it was being offered for $9.995 million; the following year it went down to $7.9 million. Apparently, the home is styled after the Medici castle in Florence. It bears an Italian name that’s somewhat bizarre: Palazzo di Sono. Perhaps someone misspelled sogno and the real name is “Palace of Dreams.” As it is, the name’s meaning is closer to “Palace of Is,” as in, the verb ‘is.’

In the Kardashians’ reality TV show, this house represents the home of Kris Kardashian-Jenner and Bruce Jenner — the mother and step-father of Kim, Kourtney, and Khloé Kardashian. However, the real home of Kris and Bruce is in Calabasas, Calif. Another show that’s been filmed in this Studio City home is True Blood. The exact address is 11947 Iredell St., Studio City, CA 91604. Michelle Schwartz and Craig Knizek of The Agency are handling the sale.

An unknown buyer has agreed to part with $4.235 million in exchange for becoming the new owner of Britney Spears’ former home. The expansive 15,930-sqare foot home is nestled inside Summit, a Beverly Hills gates community. The original asking price was $2.995 million, which constituted a steep fall from the $7.2 million that Spears originally paid for the home in December 2006.

At the time, Britney had just initiated the proceedings for her divorce from Kevin Federline. Less than a year had passed when she tried selling it, unsuccessfully. The Beverly Hills mansion has five bedrooms, a master suite with a fireplace, and a great pool and spa. Its garage can hold three cars. The once reigning princess of Pop moved out of the place just the same. She hasn’t lived there since 2008.

That year, Spears left the home in a stretcher after a mental breakdown. After regaining her bearings, Spears began renting in Calabasas, CA, though, since early 2011 she’s been living in Thousand Oaks — in another rental.

Currently, Spears is engaged to Jason Trawick, who started out as her manager. Although Spears’ father, James Spears, has been her conservator since 2008, the courts just granted Trawick co-conservator status. Trawick will look after Britney’s daily affairs while dad James will continue overseeing her finances.

Hollywood history buffs prepare yourselves: for a handsome $12 million dollars you can live in Farralone, the mansion where Frank Sinatra lived, and where Marilyn Monroe is said to have met with John F. Kennedy for a tryst. The glamorous estate is found in Chatsworth, C.A. and its connections to Hollywood royalty and their history runs deep. It also sits on a 14 beautiful acres.

The house dates to the start of the 1950’s, and was designed by the same folks who were responsible for two American structures that are recognized around the globe: San Francisco’s iconic Transamerica Pyramid Building and Washington, D.C.’s Kennedy Center. Talk about a home with cultural import. Dora Hutchinson, an American heiress to a banking fortune (Chase Manhattan Bank), was the original inhabitant and the person whom many would shower in flowers and praises for her tireless work to host fabulous parties!

According to Forbes.com, Lucille Ball, Paul McCartney, Ava Garner, and Judy Garland all sang, danced, and schmoozed at this place. The home’s pool is not only the location of the last photo shoot session of the former Mrs. Joe DiMaggio, but for a period of time she lived in the guesthouse, whose square footage is a comfy 1,000 sq. ft. More recently, the home has appeared on television and film in “Mad Men,” “Californication,” Jennifer Hudson’s and Beyoncé Knowles’ Dreamgirls, Will Smith’s Ali, and an Usher music video.

It’s reported that the house’s income from location shoots has climbed to as much as 2 million in one year. Because it is so lucrative, the home has a production studio inside as well as a production studio-funded manager to work out shooting scheduling and compensation. If you’d like some more cherries thrown in, know that the property comes with a young vineyard and around it is a nature preserve.

Do you ever wonder where the nation’s wealthiest citizens spend their time? Or, exactly how much money they have? As we all know by now, President Obama is trying to make the rich cough up more in taxes, however, just how much are they paying now? If you’re really curious to find the answers to these questions, all you need to do is look it up using an IRS database of income tax data.
