Inside Abandoned Celebrity Mansions

Leaving a beautiful mansion with tons of bedrooms, bathrooms and entertainment areas to rot away on acres of land may be surprising to some but pretty common to the folks who can afford those properties.

Amongst our virtual tours of celebrity mansions around the country, there are also some that are currently unoccupied. Despite the millions that went into renovations and new additions, some celebrities leave the beautiful homes due to personal reasons or most often, trouble selling to another homebuyer.

As a result, these spots are left in troubling conditions. Let’s take a look at some celeb mansions that were abandoned by their owners.

Nelly’s Missouri Mansion

Nelly bought this Missouri home in 2002 for an alleged $1,900,000 with the alleged intent to renovate it and gift it to his sister. Unfortunately, his sister fell ill with a leukemia diagnosis, putting all ideas of renovation to a halt. She passed away in 2005. The home has been vacant ever since.

Second Floor Hallways

The vacant hallways almost make the place look spooky.

Bedroom

Unfinished construction will definitely make this place a hard sell.

Master Bathroom

Poor bathroom looks like it was torn apart.

Kitchen

The all-white doesn’t help how empty everything looks.

Kanye’s Malibu Mansion

Malibu is known for its pristine beaches and pricey mansions. But one home situated along the picturesque coastline stands out against the rest: controversial rapper Kanye “Ye” West’s $57 million mansion, sitting seemingly abandoned, disheveled, and reportedly unable to sell despite its prime location on the Malibu shore.

Rooftop

So much for a charming rooftop. The whole place is gutted.

Entrance

This is probably the most attractive part of the home at the moment.

Staircase

Without the glass windows now, this place is practically a skeleton.

Empty Bedrooms

Not a lick of furniture inside. Will someone spruce this place up? We’ll see.

Multi-Celeb Hollywood Hills Home

The location of Sean “Diddy” Combs’ music video for “Last Night” and allegedly the former mansion of Mary J. Blige, per a local resident, now looks like a junk site. Neighbors of the Hollywood Hills area told ABC 7 News all types of squatters and “questionable” people have drifted in and out of the home since its owner, John Powers Middleton, left it to sit.

Back of Home

Every inch of this is covered in spray paint now.

Entrance

No corner was left untouched with tagging.

Roof

Really? We had no idea.

Pool

The pool is now a graffiti mural and part-time skateboard park to those who find their way inside.
