Who Owns The One? A Tale of Mega-Mansions and Mystery
So, you've heard of The One. That colossal, over-the-top mansion in Bel Air, Los Angeles. The one with the infinity pool that could probably hold a small whale. The one that looks like it was designed by someone who confused a shopping mall with a home. Yeah, that one. But who actually owns this monstrosity? Let’s dive into the opulent depths of this question.
The One and Only (Owner)
For a long time, The One was a phantom owner situation. It was like a celebrity without a face, a cake without frosting – just a whole lot of hype and no concrete information. But then, like a plot twist in a reality TV show, we got our answer.
Drumroll, please...
The lucky (or maybe unlucky) soul who now calls The One home is none other than Richard Saghian, the CEO of Fashion Nova. Yep, the same Fashion Nova that’s responsible for your questionable but totally addictive online shopping sprees. So, next time you’re browsing those trendy outfits, remember, your dollars are somehow funding the upkeep of a mansion that has its own nightclub.
A Pricey Pad
Now, you might be wondering, "How much did this fashion mogul shell out for this palace?" Well, let's just say it wasn't cheap. The One was originally listed for a mind-boggling $500 million. But after a few price drops and a dramatic auction, Saghian managed to snag it for a mere (said with heavy sarcasm) $141 million. That's still enough to buy a small country, but hey, when you're in the fashion business, money is apparently no object.
Life in a Mega-Mansion: The Reality
Imagine waking up in a house so big, you need a GPS to find the bathroom. Or having more rooms than you know what to do with. And don’t even get us started on the utility bills. Living in The One must be like starring in your own reality show, except without the drama (or so we hope).
How to Become a Mega-Mansion Owner (Probably Not)
Okay, so you're dreaming of swapping your cozy apartment for a mansion. While becoming the next owner of The One might be a long shot, here are a few more realistic steps:
- How to start saving for a down payment: Start small, like cutting back on avocado toast. Or winning the lottery. Your choice.
- How to find a good real estate agent: Look for someone who doesn't flinch when you say "million-dollar budget."
- How to decorate a mansion without going overboard: Less is more, even when you have more space than you know what to do with.
- How to maintain a mega-mansion: Hire a cleaning crew, a gardener, and a personal chef. At least.
- How to deal with unwanted attention: Practice your poker face and invest in a really good security system.
So there you have it, the lowdown on The One. It’s a house that's as famous as some celebrities. And while most of us will probably never set foot inside, it's still fun to dream, right?
