Inside Abandoned Celebrity Mansions

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.

The vacant hallways almost make the place look spooky.

Unfinished construction will definitely make this place a hard sell.

Poor bathroom looks like it was torn apart.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

Every inch of this is covered in spray paint now.

No corner was left untouched with tagging.

Really? We had no idea.

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