Los Angeles Times reports that rap mogul and Beats Electronics founder, Dr. Dre has officially purchased Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen’s $40 million mansion estate in Brentwood, Los Angeles. The four-acre property features a French
chateau surrounded by gardens, a cobblestone motor court and a moat teeming
with koi fish.
Designed by architect, Richard
Landry, the home is an 18,298-square-foot mansion with five bedrooms, nine
bathrooms, a library/study, a gym, a sauna, covered terraces and seven
fireplaces—because no chateau worth its mortar has fewer fireplaces than
bedrooms.
While a $40 million home is the height of extravagance, the
price Dre paid for the property is substantially less than the original
listing. Brady and his wife placed their mansion on the market with the asking
price of $50 million, which Dre was presumably able to haggle down by a tidy
$10 million.
Dre’s purchase comes fast on the heels of the decision to
sell his thriving music streaming and headphone company he co-founded in 2008
to Apple. Naturally, selling his headphones company has landed Dre firmly in
the black, with more than enough cash on hand for snapping up mansions with
moats.
