Members kalbir Posted May 31 Members Share Posted May 31 Lauralee clearly stacked her Cricket and Lifetime movie coins. Gotta hand it to the Bells for their real estate game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted June 1 Members Share Posted June 1 I think the Cricket/Lifetime bucks would cover the cost of pool maintenance. The big bucks rolled in from the inheritances. And I'm sure Bill and Lee were generous along the way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members j swift Posted June 1 Members Share Posted June 1 It's a very chic move to buy your guest house for twice the price of your main home. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cat Posted June 1 Members Share Posted June 1 (edited) Real estate is the appreciating-value, return-on-your-investment gift that keeps on giving (I'm a bitter renter, LOL). The Bells bought at the top end of the market and just kept on acquiring. Their homes were all magnificent, but in different ways. Sad to see a lot of them get sold off in a way, as some of these estates were intimately connected with the Bells' tenures at Y&R and B&B.

Members Broderick Posted June 1 Members Share Posted June 1 Yep, that's the "weekend cottage" on Lake Geneva that was pointed out to me. During the time they owned it, their "weekday house" was a large, expensive unit in a high-rise on Lake Shore Drive in Chicago. I bet they made a KILLING when they disposed of their properties in the Midwest, then bought wisely in California and made yet another killing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BoldRestless Posted June 1 Members Share Posted June 1 Some wikis with info about the houses used on B&B. Not sure if any of the Bell properties were used on Y&R. https://theboldandthebeautiful.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Locations https://modanasukces.fandom.com/pl/wiki/Kategoria:Posiadłości 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members j swift Posted August 25 Members Share Posted August 25 (edited) For those who were worried about where Maria and Bill Jr will rest their weary heads now that Beyonce bought their house, good news, they got a new one. They bought Brian Robbins' house for 20 million. That means that they still have 180 million left over from the sale of their Malibu home. Thank goodness, because the Erewhon in Beverly Hills is selling smoothies for $30 a pop. So, the Bells will need some pocket money. Of course, they'll also need to remodel and decorate a bit. Luckily, they scooped up this pad just as Pottery Barn's Summer Sale begun. You know Maria, always shopping for a bargain. She describes the 4,000 square foot mansion as a "jewel box", which should tell you something about the size of presents that Bill Jr buys for Valentine's Day each year. But, I guess the kids are grown, and they only require three bedrooms, (as well as a pied-à-terre in Manhattan, Aspen, and Newport). Finally, it is such good fortune that they sold the art to Jay-Z with the Malibu home, because their modern pieces would clash with the Regency style of their new estate. BTW, I'm I the only one who still thinks of Brian Robbins as the kid from Head of the Class? Every time I hear him referenced as the CEO of Paramount, I always picture him in the classroom with Robin Givens.

Members dragonflies Posted August 25 Members Share Posted August 25 Is it the same Brian Robbins? He produced Smallville too 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members janea4old Posted August 25 Members Share Posted August 25 (edited) The article you quoted didn't say Brian Robbins, the CEO of Paramount Pictures. The article says the Bells bought the home of Brian Roberts, the CEO of Comcast which owns NBCUniversal. https://www.mansionglobal.com/articles/couple-who-sold-malibu-mansion-to-beyonce-and-jay-z-pick-up-beverly-hills-pad-for-20-1-million-2ca8958d Edited August 25 by janea4old 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members j swift Posted August 25 Members Share Posted August 25 I get all of my powerful media Brians confused, in fact, I questioned why they mentioned Comcast rather than Paramount. - thanks for the correction 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
