I'm Carrie the Vampire Slayer and if you want to watch another celebrity house tour stay tuned for this look at the homes of Mariah Carey. Bye! While Mariah Carey has long owned a glamorous penthouse in Manhattan and rented a mega mansion at Bedford, New York during the pandemic, word is that she's bought herself some new real estate. Located in Atlanta, Georgia, Mariah's latest acquisition is a southern colonial style mansion spanning 13,000 square feet of space that once was leased by Dwayne the Rock Johnson. With all of its luxury features including a massive white marble kitchen, movie theater, and much more, it's fit for a queen like Mimi. In these videos we don't reveal any addresses and even though I've done a house tour of my own place, please do not show up at any private residences because it's not safe for anyone. Mariah Carey is a singer, songwriter, record producer, and actress who is best known for her five octave vocal range, unique singing style, and signature use of the whistle register. Not to mention she ranks as the best-selling female artist of all time with over 200 million albums sold. Her net worth is currently pegged at an estimated 320 million dollars, a fortune which allows her to live in some exceptionally stunning paths whether they're purchased or rented. Hey guys it's Cara the Vampire Slayer back with another exclusive house tour here on Famous Entertainment. In this one looking at Mariah Carey's new mansion and more. Don't forget to like, subscribe, and hit me up on Instagram to chat and now let's get into this video. In May 2022 it was reported that Mariah had been spending Easter at her newly purchased home in Atlanta Georgia. Word is that the songstress purchased the home for 5.65 million dollars in an off-market deal in late 2021 and it has some other celebrity history. It was leased by Dwayne The Rock Johnson a couple of years back. Not to mention during his stay he single-handedly ripped the mansion's massive raw iron driveway gates right off their brick pillars after the power went out and he was trapped on the property while cast and crew waited for him on set. Anyways the southern colonial style mansion is located in the posh and exclusive neighborhood of Sandy Springs in Atlanta situated on 4.2 acres of land with rolling lawns and trees for privacy. It also appears those front gates have been put back in place. Past the hulking gates the grand property is fronted by an impressive driveway, stairs, and stately pillars before you walk in the door. Interiors offer over 12,500 square feet of space along with 9 bedrooms, 8 full baths, and 5 half baths. As you might expect, Mariah didn't move in without making some touches of her own and sprinkling her signature glitter about. She got rid of a ton of the over-the-top traditional wallpaper for a fresher look and added a pink and cream rug and glitzy pink chandelier in the double-height entryway. Not to mention Mimi decked her master suite out with a tufted velvet headboard. Despite the home being built in 1992, photos show that it's been transformed into a more contemporary space with a lot of bright white walls including in the main living room and the kitchen. The spacious living area offers high white ceilings, hardwood flooring, a fireplace, and a mounted TV along with sets of French doors out to the mansion's grounds. The massive kitchen is another highlight of Mariah's mansion with its white marble theme including a massive marble center island offering up bar-style seats for about 10 guests. Here there's also top-of-the-line appliances and a couple of prep areas. Other features in her Sandy Springs mansion include a premium home movie theater and mirror-walled gym. Aside from her velvet headboard, Mimi's master suite also boasts a separate sitting area, fireplace, and French doors while the attached bathroom is spacious enough to include a vanity area, separate shower, and tub. Outside on the the trees as well as a roomy guest apartment with fireplace and elsewhere a children's playground. The grassy and rolling lawns in her property also have mature trees and greenery bordering all of it for extra seclusion. Of course when Mariah is craving the hustle and bustle of the city she can head over to her longtime Manhattan penthouse. She acquired this New York City property in 2000 for an unrecorded amount and it was done up to the nines by decorator Mario Boada before it was featured in Architectural Digest. Mariah purchased her lavish penthouse triplex in the Franklin Tower, a 17-story condo redevelopment that used to be a bank back in the 30s. Mariah lives in the famed Tribeca neighborhood and apparently the main penthouse alone cost her 5.5 million dollars. Then she went on to purchase the unit just below to combine them. While we don't know the exact amounts it likely cost her about 10 million dollars not including the years ago. Mariah's mansion sized penthouse boasts nearly 13,000 square feet of space, four beds and 4.5 baths right in the heart of Manhattan. When the place was custom designed there were influences of art deco which the building's architecture also reflected. There are bronze limestone floors throughout and an opulent chandelier in the entryway while the living room doors are decked out in silver leaf. Back in the day Mariah showed off her apartment for MTV Cribs but she's definitely freshened things up since then. We also know that the singer loves her kitchen as she likes to entertain and cook. When she's not cooking up her signature pasta sauce Mimi can retreat to her master suite which has stunning city views and one of the most amazing closets ever. Her massive custom walk-in closet has room for any shoe, special outfit or bag that you could imagine and Mariah loves to put it all on display. Other features of Mariah's penthouse include a home movie theater with an aquarium on one of the walls and an under the sea vibe as well as a spacious rooftop terrace that would have any New Yorker jealous. There's an entire seating area outside as well as a hot tub overlooking city lights. Even when Mariah isn't purchasing homes she even rents the most glamorous places. Take for instance during the pandemic when she rented out a crib for herself, her kids and her staff located just about an hour outside of Manhattan in Bedford New York. Located in an upscale gated enclave called Bedford Corners this mansion last sold in 2021 for 4.8 million dollars to a former Wall Street executive who spent a fortune turning the mansion into a high-tech heaven for the uber wealthy. So we know the price tag to rent it would have been substantial. The home sat on over five acres of landscaped grounds with interiors boasting 10,500 square feet, six bedrooms, seven baths, four powder rooms and an elevator. Built in 2006 the stone accented manor was decked out recently with all the state of the art technology you could imagine including a home automation system and a security system with over 20 cameras and a biometric keyless entry. Some of the grand living spaces here included the entryway with curving staircase, formal dining room and living room with shiny black marble fireplace and nook of windows. There was also a wood paneled library with light up bookcases and fireplace with carved lion heads as well as a large sunny family room and gourmet kitchen. An extra basement level boasted a games room, media lounge with 900 gallon saltwater fish tank, light filled home gym and of course a theater with a wet bar. Aside from the glamorous and epic bedrooms, especially the master suite, the impressive feature is continued outside. There were heated stone terraces, an outdoor shower, fire pit, sports court, gardens and much more. No doubt though the main attraction back here was the one-of-a-kind pool. The 90 foot long a violin shaped swimming pool cost a reported 1 million dollars to build containing 50,000 gallons of water and covered in about half a million glass tiles with light up fiber optic strands. The attached spa is part of the violin as the chin rests and the bow was made up of two koi ponds. Safe to say Mimi and her crew enjoyed their time living here.
