Celebrity Cribs: Gianni Versace’s Legendary Miami Mansion Hits The Market For $125 Million! [Photos]

Take a look inside the world’s most famous designer’s swagged out pad! Gianni Versace’s Miami Mansion Is On Sale For $125 Million Talk about living in style: Casa Casuarina, the former home of the late fashion designer Gianni Versace, has just hit the market for a whopping $125 million. Though the price tag may seem unnaturally steep to most, for this level of luxury real estate, it’s no surprise. The world famous home, built in Miami Beach in 1930, sprawls across 19,000 square feet. It features 10 bedrooms, 11 bathrooms, a 54-foot-long pool lined in 24-karat gold and ornate, Medusa-emblazoned front gates (the same gates at which Versace was fatally shot in 1997). “This is not only the most well-known property on South Beach,” says listing agent Jill Eber of Coldwell Banker, “it’s also known worldwide for its attention to detail throughout every room, its elegance and its style.” Its link to one of the world’s most iconic fashion designers probably doesn’t hurt, either. Versace bought the home and its adjacent lot in 1992 for just under $10 million, and then invested another $33 million in the property. The haute couture designer added a 6,100-square-foot south wing, a mosaic-covered courtyard, frescoes on the home’s walls and ceilings, and the aforementioned gold-lined pool. Three years after Versace’s death, telecom entrepreneur Peter Loftin purchased the property for $20 million and turned it into a luxury boutique hotel with restaurant. The multi-million-dollar listing joins a slew of former homes of late celebrities currently on the market, including Michael Jackson’s California chateau, Beatle George Harrison’s Swiss manor and Amy Winehouse’s London apartment.

Paul McCartney Marries For Third Time

Former Beatle wed American heiress Nancy Shevell in London. By Gil Kaufman Sir Paul McCartney and Nancy Shevell leave the Marylebone Registry Office after their civil ceremony marriage on Sunday in London Photo: Danny Martindale/Getty Images Former Beatle Paul McCartney married for the third time on Sunday, taking his vows at the iconic Old Marylebone Town Hall in London where he wed first wife Linda Eastman in 1969. McCartney, 69, tied the knot with American trucking company heiress Nancy Shevell, 51. Unlike his lavish 2002 wedding to former model Heather Mills, which ended in a bitter divorce in 2008, Sunday’s affair was a quiet one, attended by close friends and family, including former bandmate Ringo Starr and wife Barbara Bach, ex-Beatle George Harrison’s widow, Olivia, Shevell’s son, Arlen, and her second cousin, “View” host Barbara Walters. Shevell wore a dress designed by McCartney’s daughter Stella, and the “Maybe I’m Amazed” singer slipped a five-carat square-cut Neil Lane diamond ring on her finger during the brief ceremony. All You Need Is Love: Wish Paul Well On Facebook According to a report in the Huffington Post, McCartney “appeared proud, content and eager” to share his joyful day with the crowd that had gathered and “raised his bride’s hand in triumph” as they walked down the steps of the town hall after the civil ceremony. “I feel absolutely wonderful,” McCartney told fans as he arrived at his London home after the wedding. Stella McCartney also helped whip up a three-course vegetarian feast served to guests at the reception at McCartney’s home in the St. John’s Wood neighborhood on what would have been late Beatle John Lennon’s 71st birthday. Veteran TV presenter Walters is credited with introducing the couple four years ago at a party in the Hamptons in New York. Shevell was married to attorney Bruce Blakeman for 20 years before meeting McCartney. Related Artists Paul McCartney
