Former Michael Jackson Estate in Los Angeles to Hit Listing Market for $19.5 Million

A property in the Sin City, Las Vegas which the 'King of Pop' Michael Jackson rented before his death in 2009 is about to hit the listing market with an asking price of $19.5 million soon, according to The Wall Street Journal.

Broker Eddie Martinez of Worldwide Properties revealed to WSJ that Jackson had rented the residence from 2007 to 2009. He lived there with his children. The residence is a 1.8 acre gated, private estate comprising of an 8500 square feet main house and a smaller guest cottage. The three-story main house had seven bathrooms, three bedrooms, two kitchens, spas and a conference room too.

Apparently, Jackson and his children lived in the guest cottage and kept moving back and forth to the main house through an underground tunnel that has a bar and an art gallery to avoid the paparazzi.

Outside, the residence has a basketball court, a tennis court , a pool and a fountain. Check out the pictures, here.

The world was taken by an emotional storm when news of the legendary King of Pop's demise broke out. He passed away due to a cardiac arrest, overdosing on a drug, propofol. He breathed his last at his Holmby Hills home in L.A, California.

Jackson's primary home was the Neverland ranch, which by the time of his death, he had little stake in. Jackson's debt had driven him to sell stakes of his elaborate ranch. More recently, singer Lady Gaga had expressed interest in purchasing the property and restoring it to its previous charm and glory.

However, Jackson's debt doesn't seem to have gotten over. Several news sources are reporting that music producer Quincy Jones has sued Jackson's Estate claiming that he has not been remunerated appropriately for his work with Jackson.

"Jones' lawsuit seeks at least $10 million from the singer's estate and Sony Music Entertainment, claiming the entities improperly re-edited songs to deprive him of royalties and production fees," according to Lifestyle Magazine.
