Rihanna Eyeing Seinfeld's $6 Million Hollywood Mansion

Filed under: Estates

Embattled pop star Rihanna is recovering from the recent Chris Brown debacle by shopping for a brand new Los Angeles mansion, according to reports. She's eyeing a lavish Hollywood Hills house formerly owned by Jerry Seinfeld, on the market for $6.25 million, E! Online reveals.

The 5,913-sq.-ft. mansion has three bedrooms, five baths, a pool and hot tub, and and a hilltop view of Tinseltown. "She wants a home with a great view," the star's real estate agent Russell Filice told E!. "She hasn't made any decisions on anything yet. I think it's early on in the process."

The Real Estalker reports that Rihanna also scoped out a five-bedroom, four bath house on Sunset View Drive that measures over 5,000-sq.-ft. and has an asking price of $4.495 million. It features a mirrored wet bar in the living room, an infinity edged pool looking out over the lights of L.A., and Cameron Diaz as a neighbor.

Monticello Driving Club

Filed under: Wheels


For those who spend money on exotic cars it can often be a challenge finding a place to let them really show what they can do. After all, you don't want to split your Ferrari Enzo in two taking a sharp turn on PCH or face speeding tickets. For people like New York investor James Glickenhaus who paid $4 million for his one-of-a-kind Ferrari P4/5 and celebrity car collectors like Jerry Seinfeld and race car driver Jeff Gordon there is the Monticello Motor Club.

Bloomberg reports that the new Monticello Motor Club is a members-only club with a private track located 90 miles northwest of Manhattan. Members pay $125,000 for access to the , 4.1-mile loop plus $7,500 in annual dues. Membership is by invitation only and enrollment will be capped at 500. In this exlcusive club, members' net worth averages almost $20 million. It cost about $50 million to build the facility, which is on the site of a former airport near the village of Monticello. The clubhouse is a 30,000 square foot facility that includes a fitness center, restaurant, bar, lounge and business center. Cars can be stored in temperature-controlled garages. Future plans include a hotel, spa, cafe, stores, and a helipad for quicker transportation from Manhattan.

Those who can't afford membership can buy day passes for $2,500. A race with retired race-car driver Mario Andretti will be part of the opening celebrations this weekend.
