Nicholas Cage Property Auction Gets Unexpected Result

April 8th, 2010 | Comments Off | Posted in News

Hollywood mega star Nicholas Cage owned a home that had been owned by such entertainment industry luminaries as Tom Jones and Dean Martin until recently when he was forced to foreclose on the property. Forbes magazine had just listed him as the 5th highest paid actor in Hollywood as of 2009, being worth $40 million, but Cage has still seen several of his properties ending up in foreclosure as a side effect of the recent economy. The property sprawls at 11,817 square feet and is located in the exclusive Bel Air neighborhood of Los Angeles, California. With 9 bathrooms and 6 bedrooms, not to mention an Olympic sized pool, the Tudor mansion was definitely seen as having a lot going for it, but what threw off many buyers was the decor of the home – thousands of framed comic book covers lined the walls.

Bidding began at $10.4 million on the steps of the Pomona county court house and this home was offered along with a few others. Cage had attempted to sell the house for $35 million but had not found a buyer for it before the foreclosure. Surprisingly, not a single bidder chimed in to make an offer and the house reverted back to the lenders in less than a minute. Sources in Hollywood state that this has become common practice among stars who are not always quite as savvy about property values nor particularly concerned with the way that such investments are handled due to the nature of their careers. With Cage facing such extreme measures, he decided to cut his losses, according to reporters, and simply let the properties go to focus on other opportunities.
