Pompano Beach, FL, November 24, 2012 --(PR.com)-- This week's Top 10 homes spotlight at TopTenRealEstateDeals.com includes a look at the former real estate empire of John McAfee. John was a rock star in the technology field with his McAfee VirusScan and the first Internet chat service, PowWow. McAfee's net worth was about $100 million, and he spent much of his money on a dozen estates spread out across North America, Fiji, and Belize. However when the world economy plunged four years ago, John's worth dropped to less than $10 million.
In 2007, McAfee started auctioning his homes to pay his bills and took massive losses. His $25 million Colorado estate sold for $5.7 million. He lost millions on his Hawaii estate that took seven years to build and where he never lived and sold at auction for only $1.5 million. Then came the auction of his spectacular New Mexico property, which was the headquarters for his aerotrekking personal flying machine brainstorm. He suffered a stunning 90% loss on the New Mexico property. After divesting himself of the properties, McAfee moved to a waterfront compound in Belize, where the police are now looking for him with questions about the murder of a neighbor.
In other home news:
Although she was a murder suspect in her big hit movie "Basic Instinct," Sharon Stone beat that rap and used some of her movie profits to invest in real estate. That didn't turn out so well. In 2006, Sharon bought a 7 bedroom, 8.5 bath home in Beverly Hills for $10.995 million. Sharon just sold the home to movie producer Lili Zanuck for $6.575 million. Sharon never actually lived in the home.
Vidal Sassoon was passionate about fine architecture. Past owner of a number of important modern homes, Vidal and his wife rescued the Richard Neutra designed Singleton House in Bel Air in 2004. The 6,400 square foot home is on 5 acres on a bluff with spectacular views of the ocean, city and mountains. Having been grossly neglected, the house required an almost total rebuild. Previously offered for sale at $20 million, since Sassoon’s death this year it has been placed back on the market at $18 million.
Zane Grey was the highest paid and most prolific writer of the early 1900s. In 1926, he built a sprawling Pueblo-style estate on Catalina overlooking Avalon Harbor. Today, it is the Zane Grey Pueblo Hotel. It is for sale at $8,899,000.
Both Mike Wallace and his wife, Mary Yates, died earlier this year. His New York Park Avenue duplex is for sale at $20 million.
