Foreclosed Malibu Home Is Sweet Temptation For Bank Exec
I was ready to sneer at the Wells Fargo & Co. executive who helped herself to a foreclosed Malibu beach house that she was supposed to oversee but then I got a look at the property. Such temptation! I can understand why the woman might have been tempted to invite a few friends over to the $12 million beachfront home.
The owners, who had lost money in Bernie Madoff's Ponzi scheme, surrendered their fantastically-turned out estate in the pricey enclave of Malibu Colony. The secure community provides a welcome retreat for celebrities, movie execs and other affluent individuals. The fantastically wealthy area functions a bit like a small town where everyone knows each other. Residents in the community noticed the Wells Fargo exec throwing parties in the home and wrote down the license plate number of a Volvo sport-utility vehicle they say was parked in the home's garage. A check of state motor vehicle license plates by the LA Times found the vehicle was registered to Wells Fargo senior vice president Cheronda Guyton.
The 3,800-square-foot, two-story modern home is not on the market but the property website lists it as price available on request.

Beside being on the front beach area, its one of the worst house on malibu i've ever seen- awful, tasteless: vegas. I dont see how one sane person could possibly buy a 3,800-square-foot, two-story modern home for 12 Millions.It's not even made by a designer !
