Nice, but $85 million? No, just no. Not even for 30 acres.

That's not "the Hamptons"


It's Montauk.

Gorgeous views.

But it is NOT Warhol's anymore. It is owned by the CEO of J. Crew, hence the kitschy Americana decor.

Yes, I couldn't imagine that place was still part of Warhol's estate after all these years. The man's been dead for 28 years.

I think it is really beautiful.......the setting, rustic nature. Although it looks a bit isolating. A bit far from a Costco or wal mart! But at $85 big ones, you must have people for that!

If I could pay $85 million for a place to live, I'd have a Costco on my property! :rofl

I'd be like Streisand and have a mall in my basement. My very own Old Navy, Barnes & Noble, Starbucks, Marquee Cinema, Moe's and the anchor stores would be Kohl's, Macy's and Target!

Babs has a mall in her basement? Really? Did I miss your joke?

That place could use some painted ladies, it looks like a polygamist compound.

It's true. The basement is set up just like an enclosed shopping mall. They did a bit on it on some show a few years back. I knew then the woman was certifiably nuts.

We would rather have Babs' place.

What do you think it is worth?

As of a year ago, this article claimed her Malibu property was worth at least $100 million.

If that price is true then her property taxes might be 103k per month but she might have a lower assesment. But it would be WAY up there.

Also,Point Dune, if that is where it is located, is not really Malibu in our view, it is getting dangerously close to Ventura county(= undesirable)

Ca property taxes, 1.25%, are based on the original sales price as the basis.

I came across a book about it at Barnes & Noble. She's got a great voice and all, but she's pretty self-indulgent and not very self-aware. At least she donates to the right causes-that makes her spoiled kookiness a bit easier to stomach.

Um, yeah. Someone even wrote a play about it. Do you people live in the U.S.?
