i lived in a large villa for a few years. At the beginning it was nice - a self-made masterpiece. but now i live in a house 10 times smaller and feel much more comfortable. people don't need a lot of space and not many things that only distract from life
I would never want to live in a house that large or even half the size. Just a personal preference. I'd hate to furnish or clean it. Guarantee they forget about some rooms and dont use 75% of their belongings. I'm no minimalist but I could never take up this much space in life.
I like a house that’s about the size of the floor where the kitchen is. You can see outside and have a pool and I’m good. Statues are beautiful but I can’t go up and find stairs anymore. Broke my back at aged 21. So a one story house with space for a wheel chair in case I ever need a wheel chair.
It's always astonished me on why celebs or people who have it all, buts it's never enough. They buy these massive homes to just up and abandon them to let them rot. I live close by to an area here in NJ. Multi-million dollar homes that have little to no furniture and they just sit..wouldn't it be nice to have such properties donated to organizations that could convert into a favorable cause to help the communities?
If I could afford to, I would buy a place like this and make it a home for foster kids and create fun activities for them, socialising areas, meditation rooms, prayer rooms, study rooms, game rooms etc ♥️
Rihanna bought it and sold it to 2 years later. The guy who bought it was foreclosed on so technically the house belongs to a bank somewhere. I’m surprised they haven’t auctioned it off yet as they tend not to like having losses like this sitting on their books.
It makes you realise a house is just four walls, and can be tiny. It's the people in it that gives the home a positive or negative energy. I personally thought it was dark and horrible and looks like it's in the middle of nowhere. Great film guys, interesting watch
It reflects the priorities of the empty-headed wealthy, generally (though not of any one individually). Wastefull, shallow, ephemeral, and dull, material desires and making big impressions on people.

@@polferiferus1938 They worked hard for it, its a nice sized house...not painfully big. Of course it looks dull, its extremely outdated and abandoned. I'm sure it was nice and homey in its pre-abandoned stage...those two family photos show a glimpse of that.
I totally have to agree with that statement. It kinda of angers me that fact. People in the world going cold and hungry and there’s places like this just going to waste. Smh…this world really needs to get it together!
@@Shaolin91z A person with any kind of empathy would feel or at least could imagine what other people in the world go through when they are homeless, cold and hungry and there are people in the world that abandon huge homes and just leave them to rot. Those homes can be put to good use if people like i just said would just think a little bit and find empathy and kindness in their hearts to help those who are in need and much less fortunate than they are. My observation on the world and people in it, the rich folks that have homes and stuff like this usually are the ones that don’t deserve it. But hey, that’s the way people in this dark piece of crap they call a world have made it. Smh… that’s the offense.

@@Shaolin91z i have a one bedroom,smart ass. Not only that, I’m already letting my homeless brother live on my couch in my front room. He’s a little slow mentally or something. Lol Maybe autistic, we don’t really know. Maybe just very irresponsible. My family actually does own real estate, nothing like the house in the video but we do give to those that need. Also, a friend i have never met in person only online is homeless in Tennessee and i send him money. I offered to him many times to come to Nevada and i will give him a place to stay, he won’t do it! Smh… he tells me how shelters aren’t very good places to be in, they tend to take all personal effects from them on entry, no phones or anything they can’t have. I would never support homeless shelters, i do the work myself if i run into those in need seeking my help. Like the guy i met online that ended up homeless after his grandmother died, living on the street in Tennessee somewhere. Some take the help and some don’t. Honestly, i think the guy is just lazy and doesn’t want to do anything. He’s young and abled body and there’s no reason why he should allow himself to be like that but i have become good friends with the guy so i do what i can. 😊✌🏼
Wow, what a great idea! never heard that before........If that's how you feel...then put in ALL the hard work to make it happen. That's why...no one wants to work for free and do all the necessary steps to make it work for the homeless and vets...prove me wrong.
I'm guessing the homeless usually also don't have cars, so sticking them someplace without connection to the city or public transport is not helpful. Or do you want to chauffeur them around?
This is insane! I just watched a video about the homeless problem in LA and then this!! 😳 why are there mansions like this sitting empty and there are millions of homeless people around the country?! It's so ridiculous to me. That place is actually in great shape still, it could definitely be restored.
Because nothing is free. Someone somewhere owns this property and has money invested into it. I get so sick of people suggesting others give their property to the homeless. You first
@@negan6299 right. I guess someone should also pay for electricity water insurance maintenance food garbage pick up etc. So the homeless can live for free in a mansion. It's only fair
The fact that the other dude was trying to call the bird down to let it lose cause he knew it won’t survive without food just made me subscribe to this channel
Such a shame so many people are homeless and there’s houses like this just left rotting away! They should allow homes like this to be turned into something so it could actually get much needed use from it rather than just rot.
@@P0RTALS4LIFEE agreed. It aggravates the he** out of me to see all of those appliances and everything else just being left like that! If that were me I would have given everything I was planning on leaving away to someone who could use the stuff! Rather than rust away! I know far fetched but it should be a crime to let this happen. So many valuable wasted things when so many are struggling. Smh.
She was only first signed in 2005 and she was only 16 in 2005. Plus doing a search, the first home she ever purchased was in 2009. Not saying she couldn't have ever lived here, but the other "celebrity" abandoned property videos I have watched on this channel don't have any records to back up those claims either.
Thank You. I was trying to find evidence to verify the accuracy of this video and found nothing. Your conclusion has proven that this channel is bull crap
I have already seen this house on a other channel and they said that a former little league coach lived there with hit family. He had a insurance company that went bankrupt because e took a lot of money. I the master closet you can see all he's different trainer clothes because he just to train different team. That guy also built the house!! Like back in the 80's or something. This is bs! I think it was big bankz that uploaded that video. People say what they can for views 😂
What I don't get is why he does these (at least this 1 and 1 other) with Dark Exploration films (RUclips channel) I follow and trust that channel because Devon titled two urbex locations they both did with different titles then urbexnchill. None of which had any celebrity name drops in them. If they were legit owned by celebs Devon would have most likely put them in the title. Silly that Urbex n chill wouldn't think viewers would connect the dots!!
The primary reason that many of these homes are abandoned is that after the last owners are unable to maintain the upkeep these expensive homes are often very difficult to unload. Material things provide initial excitement but the novelty always wears off and then if you have no true happiness you’re off to see what new thing you can purchase for another momentary high.
Abandoned Mansion that was once owned by Rhianna” is more truthful and does not make Rhianna look like someone who abandoned a property of this size. She came from somewhat humble beginnings and I doubt that she’d be this neglectful. Also the woman is a billionaire now so she would not need to foreclose on this house.
Rich people do stuff like that all the time. They live beyond their means and buy up way too many properties and stuff when they first make it big and then end up losing them because they can't pay for them.
she bought that mansion in 2005 and resold it in 2007 then a famous baseball coach bought it and the foreclose happened some time afterwards,😳 HE EXPLAINED IT 3:56
You see a lot of these abandoned mansions, and all I can do is laugh, actually. Many of these homes are, if I'm going to be honest, gawdy as hell. Gee, I wonder why a home with 10 bedrooms and 48 bathrooms doesn't sell? I've never understood why someone would need a home that size anyway, other than for bragging rights. What's wrong with a nice, cozy, 2500-3000 sqft home? What's amazing is how fast Mother Nature reclaims her domain.
Homes are one of the most stable investment strategies. Building a structure like that generally increases in value as long as its maintained. Also having a lifestyle like that you often find yourself spending most of your down time on the premise as people are invasive and do not allow you to enjoy a normal day out with family as we all do.
My aunt in California has always lived in huge houses throughout her life, now she’s downsized to a tiny little house with land and she says she’s never been happier
Through research, I can find no evidence that Rihanna owned this property. It seems that it was made up, possibly by this channel. I have found the address of this place, who owned it and how long they owned it. This place has not been on the market since the 90s from what I can find. This place has not been inhabited in quite some time and developed mold damage, likely due to frozen pipe water damage from the heat not being turned on in the winter.
I have lived in a big home before and it was no where near as big as this one but still pretty damn big, each day of the week we could sleep in a different room and shower in a different bathroom. That gives some idea if what size ours was and it didn’t feel very warm and homey. It had us all spread out, cold feeling and just not that warm cozy close feel, you know, like a house and home should be. If you’re a family person like me, living in a large size house or a huge size like this one, i can say it wouldn’t be very fun or nice. I know many people look at big homes and homes like this one as super cool to own and live in but they kind of aren’t. I mean to the outside world for appearance and status, yeah it’s absolutely great to have or live in but at the end of they day and to yourself with yourself, it’s like eh not very homey warm comfort feeling. Unless, you have a huge family sharing it with you, then maybe it wouldn’t be so drab. Lol 😊
Really sad how vandalism has ruined this beautiful place. I’ve always wondered why people think it’s ok to just go into a place and destroy it? I guess it shows the horrible thinking of these people and how little they care about anything or anyone.
You are so correct always stealing wirer and spray painting everything it makes me sick but of course it people that don't work a h Are own a house of there own
Really cool house, I liked the skylights throughout, especially in the master bathroom, closet and elevator area. Would be cool to see pics of the house from '05.
Even if I hit the Powerball, I don’t want a home that big. Someone could legit be in there with me and I’d never know because it’s so huge. The upkeep costs are astronomical. It’s a money pit. You could buy several smaller homes in great locations for the cost of this one and rent them all out for passive income. Bet that owner regretted not doing that once the foreclosure happened.
Thought it was just me! Why the hell would I want to live in a giant mansion all ALONE?! Sure it’s nice and luxurious, but I would be lonely and scared af! Your point makes so much sense 🫡
@Yaz I could see it if it was a large family with a bunch of kids, but or if you were gonna turn it into a bed and breakfast or something. But just being in there all by myself? Yikes. It’s just too much. Imagine the AC bill in there for summer, to cool down rooms that you never even use.
Can we talk about the small room in the basement, right next to the garage, with grey padded walls and a CCTV Camera pointing at the bed. What the heck is up with that? No other rooms in the house had cameras or those padded walls. Is that sound proofing? Looks like what I’d imagine a human trafficking house would look like.
This person is literally giving us the truth In front of our faces .their is nothing good in this place nothing .it's shell of evil of level the place.
I wouldn't be surprised if children trafficking was happening. Just looking at the area house is in, the room itself and the fact that celebrity owned it.. The elite is wicked, I don't trust them anything
Likewise with all other status symbol luxury items. One doesn't need them, but desire them anyway. The world is enough for human need but not human greed. The mansion in this video is a nightmare to maintain. Imagine living alone or only with less than five other persons in this mansion, doing all the house upkeep.
Uh, is anyone else concerned with the one very small bedroom in the basement that had a cctv camera above the door pointing at the only piece of furniture being a bed? No cameras were found or seen in any other room like that. Then, the photo of the Mom & son...something is really wrong with that photo & the contents left behind. Brand new Lego kits, video games, other brand new toy packaging...the many many "kids" rooms. Did these people abuse their children or abduct children & punish them by locking them in that room downstairs? I don't know how that made you all feel but, something isn't right about this home & the items found inside.
without really knowing the history behind the house or the family i wouldn't be so quick to jump to such extreme assumptions. How many parents buy Baby monitors and put them up to watch over their infants for example, we don't know if that bed was put in there at the same time or after the camera went up. There are however some clues. given that it's a Networked D-LINK DCS-3410 it had to be around 2008 ish when the model was still on the market. perhaps they needed that instead of a conventional wireless baby monitor due to the size of the house for instance not being able to give useful reception, so a reliable, wired solution was chosen that could be accessed by any internet enabled device such as laptops, computers etc. It also looks like it was installed proper - Ethernet cable run through the ceiling and properly put in, so it wasn't done in a hurry and was done to look nice/not tacky so probably with occupation of the space in mind. also given the size of the camera, it wasn't intended to be 'covert' either. Even before 2008, there have been options on the market that are far smaller and easier to conceal options if that was the intended purpose, this was placed there without objection to it being noticed or easily tampered with. Given that the room is also ground floor level with Elevator access, we should consider the possibility of a child with special needs/disability access being a potential factor. This of course is just as much conjecture as your suggestion, simply offering another perspective on the matter.
How ya'll sound...baby room so far from the parents room and all the other rooms in the house, basically in the basement? I can see a special needs child, but still so far away? There may be a reasonable explanation, but still weird!
People are always dismayed by the waste but there are usually legitimate reasons why these homes are abandoned. I mean, mushrooms growing in the carpets downstairs! I’d be gone too
Now I’m curious as to where the family lives now. They definitely had some memories in that home. I don’t know about them being good or not but i love the staircase and the house art in the front.
It is a bit weird looking. A lot of houses that size are because they are just so huge! Lol So they scramble to find ways to fill up the space with and it looks like it takes the architect’s mind to some pretty strange places when it comes to plan and design. Lol
At first, the layout of this place made it look like a front for a sports coach to have his teams stay and train at, but as you look deeper it gets really creepy. That’s a ton of children’s rooms throughout the basement, upstairs, downstairs, and in the corner of the garage with the CCTV camera? WTF?! Honestly, this abandoned house is just a peek at what the elite are doing behind closed doors.
a few months ago i woulda been like ya ya conspiracy i believed it for a little too but now i actually do believe and haven’t seen inside the house yet but oof can’t wait to see if the vibes are off
I agree. This house has bad vibes ALL over it. And the guy in the pic with the wife looked creepy af. I actually got chills while they were in the basement and even more when they showed the pic of that guy.
14:00/18:36 - Looks like a soundproof room (padded walls) w/ camera… With the way manner in which things are strewn about the house, I’d say it was a some sort of Fed or Law Enforcement search Downstairs/Basement looks to be child/adolescent area… Wonder if someone was busted!
It was wallpaper coming loose at the edges giving the illusion that it was padded. The camera is just an expensive, outdated child monitor, nothing more.
I know someone who has a huge home (not quite this huge, but still) and a 4 months old baby. They have a nursery near the parents bedroom, but also a small room at ground level for the baby. During the day he sleeps there, so that mom can reach faster to him if there's an emergency, instead of running on stairs 2 floors if she's in the basement for example. The soundproof situation might be for party times. I've seen teenage kids lived there, young parents, maybe they partied a lot and the baby needs to sleep, mom needs to be close by, I wouldn't be suspicious.
This is not Rihanna’s mansion. This belonged to a wealthy business man who owned an insurance company, but lost it and was caught stealing money from clients. And he was also a baseball coach hence and the baseball memorabilia.
The camera pointed straight at the bed! People pointed out that it is an old baby monitor but I just don't believe that. Baby monitors even in the 90's were not like that, my mom had one for my baby brother, that is no monitor it is a camera. Also that isn't a baby's room, no crib or toddler bed, it has a twin or possibly full sized bed. The older kids were obviously upstairs because we saw video games in one of those rooms so why have the older kids upstairs and a baby downstairs? It's creepy asf to me. What's more creepy is people who think that things like trafficking and child abuse don't happen.
Is anyone else curious as to why there is a camera pointed at a child's bed? And it's a room close to the garage where someone could have just easily brought a child or children in and out without being seen? Idk but I got a very strange vibe from that... also if the house was foreclosed on then that means they didn't have the money anymore and/or probably were evicted quickly... lol
I loved this beautiful home so much If I had the money to restore it I wouldn't mind having it . The home of the beautiful queen Rihanna Love her much .🌹🌹🌹🌹❤❤❤❤
I didn’t know Rihanna was able to buy this mansion at only 17 years old back in 2005 as she was just breaking into the music scene. She didn’t begin investing in real estate until almost 5 years later. Interesting history you found.
@@lisatryme3518 but that first album wasn’t anything too big. Wonder if Jay-Z or Def Jam had that much confidence in her future earning ability to buy her a mansion
Yeah it happens a lot. I’m a realtor in LA and homeless people break into vacant homes and we have to call the cops. Usually they’re empty because the owners moved into their new home already or were leasing it out and then the tenants moved out. One time a homeless guy had his whole motorcycle parked inside the house.
Homes like these are governed by home owner associations and use contracts. Other wealthy people do not want certain people in their neighborhood. Even the road is likely private for this reason
It’s sad to me that there are homeless people everywhere and these rich people buy all these mansions that go abandoned. This would make a poor family’s dream come true to get even an abandoned fixer upper. I know it would make my dreams come true
Glad you said it, "why do they leave so much stuff behind, surely they have moving teams that just come in & clean all the stuff out". I was thinking this the whole time, wt
What a spectacular home. One could easily become lost with all those twist and turns leading from one room to another. Would make for a wonderful childrens home or a convalescent home for the elderly, or even nuns convenient. Even if only used for a super large family, what a fantastic home that would make someone very happy.
It will most likely be torn down one day, not rehabbed. Rich people rather build something new and to their liking than take on a festering mold infest shithole that someone else had built for themselves. Also most of these 90's and newer built homes were short cutted and as soon as the roofs start leaking you'll really see just how shoddy they were actually built.
you are soooo right - houses built in the nineties are crap - my wife bought a new house in '94 in Irving , Tx before we were married - the short cuts are just so overt it's not even funny - they had to have paid off the inspectors.
I had to google this house, I found an interesting tidbit. But found nothing on the base ball player….”Legend purchased the home from fellow music maven Rihanna in 2016. The pop diva had placed it on the market after dealing with some pretty messy water damage throughout the property.” “John Legend and Chrissy Teigen Bought Rihanna's Allegedly Leaky Old House. Expectant parents/Twitter personalities John Legend and Chrissy Teigen have a brand new house in Los Angeles's Beverly Crest 'hood, and it was once owned and hated by Rihanna.Jan 14, 2016” “A billiard room, wet bar, home theater, a gym, a sauna, and a top-notch security system are likely perks that captured John and Chrissy’s interest. Oh, and the 33-foot ceilings probably helped seal the deal too!”
Based off the research I did in the passed 30 mins the house was last on the market in 93 (address is in an other comment) Built in 84 Annual taxes: : $24,385 Total interior livable area: 8,633 sqft This property was last sold for $3,125,000 in 1993 and currently has an “estimated” value of $9,216,800 So that being said Rihanna never owned it nor a baseball coach it seems … the owner is stated as James Conway (all public info) either age 67 or 91 … and since it hasn’t been on the market since than it definitely was a foreclosure. The insurance story (in comments) may be the most accurate assumption that came from this video
Exactly! That's what I don't understand about rich people. They go and buy these gigantic houses that serve absolutely no purpose other than to hold their consumeristic junk. I don't care how rich I was I wouldn't want a house like this. I don't want a house so big that somebody could live in it at the same time as me and I wouldn't know it. I would feel so guilty knowing there's homeless people all over the world while I was living in that place. People would stop idolizing this type of nonsense and recognize it for the evil it is.
When you went in the basement you said this was a sauna it’s actually a steam room. They also had heated towel racks hanging up on the wall in the hallway. That is such a beautiful home it’s so sad to see it go to waste.
It’s so sad and yet so many people are homeless but we have properties like this just rotting away. Highly upsetting. That bathroom and those closets are things of my dreams
It didn't freak you out a little that there was ONE child's room down in the basement away from everything else that looked completely different than the other kids'rooms, had padded walls and a closed circuit camera?
Except Architectural Digest did a piece on every property Rihanna has owned since she first became famous…and this one doesn’t seem to be on the list? She didn’t have the money for a property like this in 2005 😳 She bought her first property in 2009, Beverly Hills, and it looked nothing like this.
I’m surprised no one has come in and taken the expensive stuff like the stove, the refrigerator, the beds in the house I guarantee are expensive (they look brand néw) amongst other things. Just crazy to me considering they’re just letting it rot away anyways 🤷♀️
To entertain and to keep up an image. The image is important as it's part of the marketing. When you get to that level of popularity, it is expected that you host functions at your house.
I am sorry, but with all due respect why are you saying its Rihanna's abandoned mansion when she sold it to someone else in 2007? Your title is misleading and clickbait.
My dads parents had lots of money and they always lived in these ridiculous houses like this.. They always seemed weird and un-homey to me. And the upkeep was always more than they could handle so parts of the house would get unkempt. This house looks like something my grandparents would have had. Not my thing. It looks like an office building. My grandparents wasted a lot of their wealth on BS but hey - it was theirs to waste. More power to them. RIP.
These mansions are beautiful but I think they are only worth it if you have a large family to fill it with, otherwise I would feel so alone to live in there just with housekeepers :( Beautiful exploration by the way! Take care

It makes you realise a house is just four walls, and can be tiny. It's the people in it that gives the home a positive or negative energy.

Also, a friend i have never met in person only online is homeless in Tennessee and i send him money. I offered to him many times to come to Nevada and i will give him a place to stay, he won’t do it! Smh… he tells me how shelters aren’t very good places to be in, they tend to take all personal effects from them on entry, no phones or anything they can’t have. I would never support homeless shelters, i do the work myself if i run into those in need seeking my help. Like the guy i met online that ended up homeless after his grandmother died, living on the street in Tennessee somewhere. Some take the help and some don’t. Honestly, i think the guy is just lazy and doesn’t want to do anything. He’s young and abled body and there’s no reason why he should allow himself to be like that but i have become good friends with the guy so i do what i can. 😊✌🏼
Look. Those abandoned mansions can be tuned into shelters for the homeless. Why is it just sitting there empty when our vets are on the streets???
Your right..... I agree.... our vets deserve more respect instead of beaning on the streets. There're the one who gave all of us freedom.
Wrong, the homeless need a helping hand not a handout. We have shelters that would more cost effective than a multimillion-dollar mansion.
Wow, what a great idea! never heard that before........If that's how you feel...then put in ALL the hard work to make it happen. That's why...no one wants to work for free and do all the necessary steps to make it work for the homeless and vets...prove me wrong.
Nope.
I'm guessing the homeless usually also don't have cars, so sticking them someplace without connection to the city or public transport is not helpful. Or do you want to chauffeur them around?
This is insane! I just watched a video about the homeless problem in LA and then this!! 😳 why are there mansions like this sitting empty and there are millions of homeless people around the country?! It's so ridiculous to me. That place is actually in great shape still, it could definitely be restored.
Because nothing is free. Someone somewhere owns this property and has money invested into it. I get so sick of people suggesting others give their property to the homeless. You first
@@negan6299 right. I guess someone should also pay for electricity water insurance maintenance food garbage pick up etc. So the homeless can live for free in a mansion. It's only fair

She was only first signed in 2005 and she was only 16 in 2005. Plus doing a search, the first home she ever purchased was in 2009. Not saying she couldn't have ever lived here, but the other "celebrity" abandoned property videos I have watched on this channel don't have any records to back up those claims either.
Thank You. I was trying to find evidence to verify the accuracy of this video and found nothing. Your conclusion has proven that this channel is bull crap
I have already seen this house on a other channel and they said that a former little league coach lived there with hit family. He had a insurance company that went bankrupt because e took a lot of money. I the master closet you can see all he's different trainer clothes because he just to train different team. That guy also built the house!! Like back in the 80's or something. This is bs! I think it was big bankz that uploaded that video. People say what they can for views 😂
Lol thanks for coming with the facts! Super clickbait to try and make her look bad
What I don't get is why he does these (at least this 1 and 1 other) with Dark Exploration films (RUclips channel) I follow and trust that channel because Devon titled two urbex locations they both did with different titles then urbexnchill. None of which had any celebrity name drops in them. If they were legit owned by celebs Devon would have most likely put them in the title. Silly that Urbex n chill wouldn't think viewers would connect the dots!!
He’s lying for views
The primary reason that many of these homes are abandoned is that after the last owners are unable to maintain the upkeep these expensive homes are often very difficult to unload. Material things provide initial excitement but the novelty always wears off and then if you have no true happiness you’re off to see what new thing you can purchase for another momentary high.
Abandoned Mansion that was once owned by Rhianna” is more truthful and does not make Rhianna look like someone who abandoned a property of this size. She came from somewhat humble beginnings and I doubt that she’d be this neglectful. Also the woman is a billionaire now so she would not need to foreclose on this house.
Rich people do stuff like that all the time. They live beyond their means and buy up way too many properties and stuff when they first make it big and then end up losing them because they can't pay for them.
she bought that mansion in 2005 and resold it in 2007 then a famous baseball coach bought it and the foreclose happened some time afterwards,😳 HE EXPLAINED IT 3:56

You see a lot of these abandoned mansions, and all I can do is laugh, actually. Many of these homes are, if I'm going to be honest, gawdy as hell. Gee, I wonder why a home with 10 bedrooms and 48 bathrooms doesn't sell? I've never understood why someone would need a home that size anyway, other than for bragging rights. What's wrong with a nice, cozy, 2500-3000 sqft home? What's amazing is how fast Mother Nature reclaims her domain.
So very true
Homes are one of the most stable investment strategies. Building a structure like that generally increases in value as long as its maintained. Also having a lifestyle like that you often find yourself spending most of your down time on the premise as people are invasive and do not allow you to enjoy a normal day out with family as we all do.
Yup 2500 to 3000 is enough anything else is just toooooooooo bigggggggaaaaaaa!
Very well worded!💙
That design layout with the stairs and oversight level was obsolete ............two decades before Rihanna was even BORN.
My aunt in California has always lived in huge houses throughout her life, now she’s downsized to a tiny little house with land and she says she’s never been happier
Through research, I can find no evidence that Rihanna owned this property. It seems that it was made up, possibly by this channel. I have found the address of this place, who owned it and how long they owned it. This place has not been on the market since the 90s from what I can find. This place has not been inhabited in quite some time and developed mold damage, likely due to frozen pipe water damage from the heat not being turned on in the winter.
I can well believe that
There’s a sadness to houses this size.
This house for sure it has a weird vibe to it I would actually much rather live in my 3 room appartement than this house really bad architechture.
I agree @Darla Love
It's just the people that lived in it.
Lol. Sooooooo sad.
I have lived in a big home before and it was no where near as big as this one but still pretty damn big, each day of the week we could sleep in a different room and shower in a different bathroom. That gives some idea if what size ours was and it didn’t feel very warm and homey. It had us all spread out, cold feeling and just not that warm cozy close feel, you know, like a house and home should be. If you’re a family person like me, living in a large size house or a huge size like this one, i can say it wouldn’t be very fun or nice. I know many people look at big homes and homes like this one as super cool to own and live in but they kind of aren’t. I mean to the outside world for appearance and status, yeah it’s absolutely great to have or live in but at the end of they day and to yourself with yourself, it’s like eh not very homey warm comfort feeling. Unless, you have a huge family sharing it with you, then maybe it wouldn’t be so drab. Lol 😊
Totally agree with you, I would never want to live in a mansion with my small family even if I could afford it.
Shut up who cares!
@The Truth right? if you have to make a comment about it, it likely never happened
@The Truth I’m elvis. Got you beat.

I'm fascinated by all the stuff people leave behind in these mansions.
Unbelievable
Really cool house, I liked the skylights throughout, especially in the master bathroom, closet and elevator area. Would be cool to see pics of the house from '05.
Even if I hit the Powerball, I don’t want a home that big. Someone could legit be in there with me and I’d never know because it’s so huge. The upkeep costs are astronomical. It’s a money pit. You could buy several smaller homes in great locations for the cost of this one and rent them all out for passive income. Bet that owner regretted not doing that once the foreclosure happened.
Exactly what I would do. Buy smaller homes all over the country in nice locations.
Nah, I'll buy it just as soon as I get the right six numbers!! Hmmm maybe tonight ( mega 221 million) or tomorrow night (powerball 500 million) .
Mayebe we can hear somo of your boring stories some other day 🥱
Thought it was just me! Why the hell would I want to live in a giant mansion all ALONE?! Sure it’s nice and luxurious, but I would be lonely and scared af! Your point makes so much sense 🫡
@Yaz I could see it if it was a large family with a bunch of kids, but or if you were gonna turn it into a bed and breakfast or something. But just being in there all by myself? Yikes. It’s just too much. Imagine the AC bill in there for summer, to cool down rooms that you never even use.
Can we talk about the small room in the basement, right next to the garage, with grey padded walls and a CCTV Camera pointing at the bed. What the heck is up with that? No other rooms in the house had cameras or those padded walls. Is that sound proofing? Looks like what I’d imagine a human trafficking house would look like.
This person is literally giving us the truth In front of our faces .their is nothing good in this place nothing .it's shell of evil of level the place.

Why people build these large huge houses is beyond me. Small, cozy, intimate and comfy is me.
Likewise with all other status symbol luxury items. One doesn't need them, but desire them anyway. The world is enough for human need but not human greed. The mansion in this video is a nightmare to maintain. Imagine living alone or only with less than five other persons in this mansion, doing all the house upkeep.

Uh, is anyone else concerned with the one very small bedroom in the basement that had a cctv camera above the door pointing at the only piece of furniture being a bed? No cameras were found or seen in any other room like that. Then, the photo of the Mom & son...something is really wrong with that photo & the contents left behind. Brand new Lego kits, video games, other brand new toy packaging...the many many "kids" rooms. Did these people abuse their children or abduct children & punish them by locking them in that room downstairs? I don't know how that made you all feel but, something isn't right about this home & the items found inside.
Wouldn’t be surprised. Most celebrities are into children and lucifarianism
Yes!! Seems a little ominous. The house felt very eerie to me, including the basement bathroom 🤢 feels satanic.
Um that could be for babies? many parents install cameras in case of emergencies?
without really knowing the history behind the house or the family i wouldn't be so quick to jump to such extreme assumptions. How many parents buy Baby monitors and put them up to watch over their infants for example, we don't know if that bed was put in there at the same time or after the camera went up.
There are however some clues.
given that it's a Networked D-LINK DCS-3410 it had to be around 2008 ish when the model was still on the market. perhaps they needed that instead of a conventional wireless baby monitor due to the size of the house for instance not being able to give useful reception, so a reliable, wired solution was chosen that could be accessed by any internet enabled device such as laptops, computers etc.
It also looks like it was installed proper - Ethernet cable run through the ceiling and properly put in, so it wasn't done in a hurry and was done to look nice/not tacky so probably with occupation of the space in mind.
also given the size of the camera, it wasn't intended to be 'covert' either. Even before 2008, there have been options on the market that are far smaller and easier to conceal options if that was the intended purpose, this was placed there without objection to it being noticed or easily tampered with.
Given that the room is also ground floor level with Elevator access, we should consider the possibility of a child with special needs/disability access being a potential factor.
This of course is just as much conjecture as your suggestion, simply offering another perspective on the matter.
How ya'll sound...baby room so far from the parents room and all the other rooms in the house, basically in the basement? I can see a special needs child, but still so far away? There may be a reasonable explanation, but still weird!
People are always dismayed by the waste but there are usually legitimate reasons why these homes are abandoned. I mean, mushrooms growing in the carpets downstairs! I’d be gone too
I hope they still provide for it’s maintenance and some renovation. This is a beautiful one
Now I’m curious as to where the family lives now. They definitely had some memories in that home. I don’t know about them being good or not but i love the staircase and the house art in the front.
That is the weirdest and oddest house ever. Surely wouldn't pay one million for it. Thanks for sharing guy's
It is a bit weird looking. A lot of houses that size are because they are just so huge! Lol So they scramble to find ways to fill up the space with and it looks like it takes the architect’s mind to some pretty strange places when it comes to plan and design. Lol
I wouldn't even wanna live there if it was given to me.
@@michellkristensen1775 Sh*t I would nice quite area with no people around just you and the house.

I was freaked out about that as well seems so Odd. And camera pointed right towards the bed. WTF
I noticed that too🤦🏽♀️
it was probably a recording studio
Such a dumb comment
Who’s going to say it? Who’s going to
At first, the layout of this place made it look like a front for a sports coach to have his teams stay and train at, but as you look deeper it gets really creepy. That’s a ton of children’s rooms throughout the basement, upstairs, downstairs, and in the corner of the garage with the CCTV camera? WTF?! Honestly, this abandoned house is just a peek at what the elite are doing behind closed doors.
a few months ago i woulda been like ya ya conspiracy i believed it for a little too but now i actually do believe and haven’t seen inside the house yet but oof can’t wait to see if the vibes are off
I agree. This house has bad vibes ALL over it. And the guy in the pic with the wife looked creepy af. I actually got chills while they were in the basement and even more when they showed the pic of that guy.
That may be true. Maybe they got caught and had to go on the run. Or they are in Jail?
Ttttttt
You people are absolutely nuts 😳 😅
I don't know why but this house just gave me the weirdest feeling ever...so creepy
Something about such big homes that’s really unsettling. Great explore
It’s bad energy. Usually “elite” people sell their souls to the devil. I sounds cliche but I’m telling you……
Like kid's rooms with cctv cameras in them? xD
A kid playing with a wooden train very lovely its generation too generation 🤔👌🏽
14:00/18:36 - Looks like a soundproof room (padded walls) w/ camera… With the way manner in which things are strewn about the house, I’d say it was a some sort of Fed or Law Enforcement search Downstairs/Basement looks to be child/adolescent area… Wonder if someone was busted!
Did you notice most of the rooms seem to have kids toys they could have been trafficking
It was wallpaper coming loose at the edges giving the illusion that it was padded. The camera is just an expensive, outdated child monitor, nothing more.
Or ppl going in after abandonment to take what was left.

I know someone who has a huge home (not quite this huge, but still) and a 4 months old baby. They have a nursery near the parents bedroom, but also a small room at ground level for the baby. During the day he sleeps there, so that mom can reach faster to him if there's an emergency, instead of running on stairs 2 floors if she's in the basement for example. The soundproof situation might be for party times. I've seen teenage kids lived there, young parents, maybe they partied a lot and the baby needs to sleep, mom needs to be close by, I wouldn't be suspicious.
This is not Rihanna’s mansion. This belonged to a wealthy business man who owned an insurance company, but lost it and was caught stealing money from clients. And he was also a baseball coach hence and the baseball memorabilia.

The camera pointed straight at the bed! People pointed out that it is an old baby monitor but I just don't believe that. Baby monitors even in the 90's were not like that, my mom had one for my baby brother, that is no monitor it is a camera. Also that isn't a baby's room, no crib or toddler bed, it has a twin or possibly full sized bed. The older kids were obviously upstairs because we saw video games in one of those rooms so why have the older kids upstairs and a baby downstairs? It's creepy asf to me. What's more creepy is people who think that things like trafficking and child abuse don't happen.
Is anyone else curious as to why there is a camera pointed at a child's bed? And it's a room close to the garage where someone could have just easily brought a child or children in and out without being seen? Idk but I got a very strange vibe from that... also if the house was foreclosed on then that means they didn't have the money anymore and/or probably were evicted quickly... lol
I also thought that the camera in the room was weird. The house is foreclosed so the guy probably got what he deserved

Beautiful home, lets hope someone buys it and gets it back up to its former glory. Sad its just sitting empty.
What a spectacular home. One could easily become lost with all those twist and turns leading from one room to another. Would make for a wonderful childrens home or a convalescent home for the elderly, or even nuns convenient. Even if only used for a super large family, what a fantastic home that would make someone very happy.
I often wonder why these aces become abamdoned
Or even a half way house for children aging out of foster care. These kids end up on the streets doing drugs and prostitution.
It will most likely be torn down one day, not rehabbed. Rich people rather build something new and to their liking than take on a festering mold infest shithole that someone else had built for themselves. Also most of these 90's and newer built homes were short cutted and as soon as the roofs start leaking you'll really see just how shoddy they were actually built.
you are soooo right - houses built in the nineties are crap - my wife bought a new house in '94 in Irving , Tx before we were married - the short cuts are just so overt it's not even funny - they had to have paid off the inspectors.

I had to google this house, I found an interesting tidbit. But found nothing on the base ball player….”Legend purchased the home from fellow music maven Rihanna in 2016. The pop diva had placed it on the market after dealing with some pretty messy water damage throughout the property.”
“John Legend and Chrissy Teigen Bought Rihanna's Allegedly Leaky Old House. Expectant parents/Twitter personalities John Legend and Chrissy Teigen have a brand new house in Los Angeles's Beverly Crest 'hood, and it was once owned and hated by Rihanna.Jan 14, 2016”
“A billiard room, wet bar, home theater, a gym, a sauna, and a top-notch security system are likely perks that captured John and Chrissy’s interest. Oh, and the 33-foot ceilings probably helped seal the deal too!”
If I had the means to afford a place like this, I'd give it a an American Homeless Veteran and His Family !!! They're worth it and would be GRATEFUL.
Based off the research I did in the passed 30 mins the house was last on the market in 93 (address is in an other comment)
Built in 84
Annual taxes: : $24,385
Total interior livable area: 8,633 sqft
This property was last sold for $3,125,000 in 1993 and currently has an “estimated” value of $9,216,800
So that being said Rihanna never owned it nor a baseball coach it seems … the owner is stated as James Conway (all public info) either age 67 or 91 … and since it hasn’t been on the market since than it definitely was a foreclosure. The insurance story (in comments) may be the most accurate assumption that came from this video

@@blackqueen5201 ???
Of course click bait
I just wish I could know before I die how it feels to live in a place like this
The entire time I’m watching this I can’t get past how enormous that bathroom was and so happy I didn’t have to clean it.
I would hate to have to clean that house! I'm extremely ocd too! It would drive me insane.
I’m surprised no one has come in and taken the expensive stuff like the stove, the refrigerator, the beds in the house I guarantee are expensive (they look brand néw) amongst other things. Just crazy to me considering they’re just letting it rot away anyways 🤷♀️
I never understood why single people buy such massive size properties
Celebrities often house a large entourage.
Some may have hoards of guests everytime and maybe more privacy? Not quite sure though
To entertain and to keep up an image. The image is important as it's part of the marketing. When you get to that level of popularity, it is expected that you host functions at your house.
Hobby farms
Was anyone creeped out by the ceiling camera in the small bedroom downstairs? ☹️
Yes. Extremely.
Lol. No it’s a baby monitor you stupid perverted creeps
When was it, at what time?
I am sorry, but with all due respect why are you saying its Rihanna's abandoned mansion when she sold it to someone else in 2007? Your title is misleading and clickbait.
Relax
@@markguthrie9901 No. You smarten up.
He did say she wasn't the most recent owner....
@@jonb2793She owned it for 2 years. .likely never moved in or lived in it.
clickbait... are you new to the internet... i mean news sites even do it
My dads parents had lots of money and they always lived in these ridiculous houses like this.. They always seemed weird and un-homey to me. And the upkeep was always more than they could handle so parts of the house would get unkempt. This house looks like something my grandparents would have had. Not my thing. It looks like an office building. My grandparents wasted a lot of their wealth on BS but hey - it was theirs to waste. More power to them. RIP.
I would love to have a home like this. I know I will never have this in my life time.
Kids underwear in the pantry, camera in the kids room and photos at the end definitely give a weird creepy vibe.
True, didn’t mean to paint that picture haha
That kids room was very creepy. I wonder if the door locked from the outside!
I was thinking the same thing. It is creepy
Very creepy vibes...
@@Ticklemetuesdaygoose some parents do that..locking kids into their room especially if they keep on getting up at night to go be with mom and dad
it's giving early 2000s MTV cribs realness😂😂😂
People saying turn it into a shelter home etc...that would never work because they would also need to be upkept, and hire staffing and so on
These mansions are beautiful but I think they are only worth it if you have a large family to fill it with, otherwise I would feel so alone to live in there just with housekeepers :( Beautiful exploration by the way! Take care
Exactly! I don’t see how someone rich wants live a big giant house all alone…. It’s gotta be the most lonesome depressing feeling ever
A kids tiny bedroom in this big house with a camera!?! That's creepy af! Am I the only one alarmed by that?
no .
Thank god others are bringing this up it is so strange and creepy
Nope. It’s a big mansion. Of course a child’s room will be monitored. You are not gonna be just in the other room are you.
These homes are filled with bad energy!! Why would you just walk away from something like this...if those walls could talk.
I can literally feel it, it's making me upset.
Foreclosure by the bank....Rihanna wasn't the last owner
Wow. I have been to this house back in the day. It was like a mausoleum - couldn’t wait to get out of there and check into a hotel.
what city is this ?
Fantastic job showing the house. I look forward to watching more of your videos. Thank you for your time and everything you put into making these.
Same here. Hello Sheri how are you doing with your family i do hope you’re safe from the Covid virus?
@ 3:27 that’s Placido Polanco who was a professional baseball player who played for the Detroit Tigers and also was a 3x golden glove winner and his net worth is 20 million. He retired from the Philadelphia Phillies in 2016.
Hollywood needs to start buying these abandoned mansions and using them for movies fixing them up and using them for movies this is an absolute waste
So... NOT Rihanna's abandoned mansion at all. She may have owned the house at one point but someone else lived here afterward.
That's not a scoreboard. That's for keeping track of the stock market.
Yea I get the feeling these are kids unfamiliar with the real world, just grew up online.
Wow can't believe how much money these people have and have no attachment to what they have
Money doesn’t buy happiness
@@UrbexAndChill no it does not you can have all the money in the world and so called friends and still be lonely 🐈
@@UrbexAndChill how did you find this house
No Feeling Of Home
@@UrbexAndChill it is not supposed to!!!!
I'm amazed by how much people leave behind
It's hard seeing such excess when so many in the world are in need
Right
