I have to say, they fascinate me in their real estate..its as if when you think they will zig they zag. Keep in mind on the Seacrest sale that they retained one parcel, so the loss (depending on what its worth) may not be as harsh if you add that to the sales price. I am sure the papparazi would pay oodles of money to spy on his pool time activities (if it has such a view).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-60286290040885105292013-05-23T04:02:45.349-07:002013-05-23T04:02:45.349-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05929439421715306883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-62411756045027919732013-05-23T03:52:17.727-07:002013-05-23T03:52:17.727-07:00Sturgess lives in a lovely part of New Zealand cal...Sturgess lives in a lovely part of New Zealand called Nelson ... located at the top of the North Island, it the Marlborough region it's pretty much picture-perfect.

Even if they're worth in the hundreds of millions, and even if they had gains on other houses, it seems bizarre to blow that kind of money.

They lost money on the sale to Ryan Seacrest, and their flips may just about break even or be small losses after the work they put into them, brokers fees and taxes. Savvy business women they are not. <br /><br />And I am probably in the minority but the interiors are not very inspiring, especially for Montecito. From what is shown here, dark interiors predominate, without taking advantage of the weather or the views. The grounds look lovely though. But still, a $10mill. gain in a year? Either the previous buyers got a steal due to an insolvent buyer or Ellen did it again.
