Siegfried & Roy Las Vegas Mansion Up For Sale ... $3 Million 'Jungle Palace!!!'

Siegfried & Roy's former Las Vegas estate is on the market ... the same palace where they famously lived alongside their lions and tigers.
The 8-acre estate is known as the 'Jungle Palace' ... and it's where the late Roy Horn raised the jungle cats for the magic act's Sin City show. Roy even slept in the same bed as the lions and tigers and swam with them in one of the home's 3 pools.
Listed for $3 million, the compound features an 8,750-square-foot main house, plus 3 guest houses, 2 detached studios, 6 electric gates, 3 pools and a jacuzzi.
It's not called a Jungle Palace for nothing ... the estate also includes a bird sanctuary and several animal enclosures.
The home hit the market this week and Murray The Magician, who has a residency at the Tropicana in Vegas, tells us he's already taken a tour.
Murray tells us he's a potential buyer and while he hasn't made an official offer, he's interested in buying the famous magic house to preserve its rich history.
Built way back in 1954, Siegfried & Roy bought the Moroccan-themed compound in 1982 ... and it's where Roy lived until his May 2020 death from COVID complications.
The property reportedly changed hands a year ago, with the current owner snapping the place up for $1.87 million.
While the Jungle Palace is famous for its former animal residents, we're told the place doesn't come furnished or with any exotic cats. Sigh.

The recent winner of the $2.04 billion Powerball prize is movin' on up ... because he's picked up a HUGE mansion in Hollywood for $25.5 million -- but the price tag is just a drop in the bucket for the newly-minted billionaire.
Edwin Castro, the lucky winner of November's jackpot prize, just snagged a 13,578-square-foot home in the hills of L.A., according to Dirt ... coming just 1 month after claiming his 1-time payment of $997.6M before taxes.
The guy's now going to be living next to huge stars like Jimmy Kimmel and Ariana Grande ... and the mansion comes with all the bells and whistles.
The 3-story hillside pad has an infinity pool, full outdoor kitchen, gym, wine cellar, movie theater, and sauna. It's also got a deck on the roof for anyone wanting to get a view of that perfect Cali sunset.
Edwin might be looking to pick up some extra wheels, too -- because the house has 2 separate garages that can hold up to 7 cars, as well as a motor court out front to fit even more rides.
As we reported, Edwin was getting sued by a man that claimed his winning lottery ticket was stolen -- believing Edwin was involved in the alleged theft. A lottery spokesperson told us, however, the org has the utmost confidence Edwin's the rightful winner.
Way to go, Edwin -- spend the rest wisely!

Ben & Jen In Escrow for New Mansion Worth Nearly Twice the Canceled One!!!

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez pulled the plug on a mansion they were trying to buy -- but for good reason -- 'cause the new one they want is way nicer ... and twice as expensive.
Real estate sources tell TMZ ... the married couple is currently in escrow for a massive property in the Pacific Palisades, the same neighborhood where they were just in escrow for another house ... only to reverse course at the last minute, as we first reported Sunday.
This new crib is quite the palace ... whereas the mansion they just bailed on was worth about $34 million, this one they now have their sights on is valued at a whopping $64M!
The price tag is certainly high, but it might be worth it when you consider everything it comes with -- including 8 bedrooms, 11 baths and 16,000 sq. feet of a fortress on a 1.13-acre compound. Yeah ... it's humongous -- and that's not including everything else inside.
Ben and Jen's would-be new home comes with an 800-square ft. gym, a professional media room, a game room, a spacious backyard and a resort-style pool/spa with a firepit area too. There's a whole separate guest house, which has its own Japanese-style soaking tub.
And, don't get us started on the views ... of course, they're canyon-side and to die for.
Mind you, this is the property that Bennifer recently visited in person ... and our sources tell us they've been swinging by frequently to eyeball changes they might wanna make once the sale goes through. They do this often, BTW -- even at the other PP house they nixed.
Oh, and if you're wondering how Ben/Jen can afford such a pricey pad -- beyond just being filthy rich -- we have answers on that as well. Our sources say Jen's famed Bel-Air estate, which has been on the market for a minute, is also now in escrow with a potential buyer for $39M.
Add on the fact Ben recently sold his own Pacific Palisades mansion for around $30 mil, and they've got plenty of money for the new crib.
Welcome to celebrity real estate, folks!

JLo and Ben We Just Keep Pulling Out!!! ... Bailed Again On House in Escrow

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck can't make up their minds ... they have dropped out of escrow again on a house they were about to buy.
Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... JLo and Ben have pulled the plug on the Pacific Palisades home which they seemed set on buying for $34.5 million.
Our sources say ... they were supposed to close escrow last Friday, but just before it was signed, sealed and delivered they pulled out.
As we reported, they were spotted at a nearby mansion last Tuesday -- while they were still in escrow on the other house -- so it looks like they weren't sure about the house they were about to get.
Our sources say they are now in escrow on ANOTHER house. We don't know if it's the same one they looked at Tuesday. We're told they looked at yet another house last week as well.
At least one of the estates they looked at last week was going for more than twice what they were spending on the one that just fell out of escrow.
This is at least the second house they've been in escrow on but bailed on at the last minute.

Britney Spears Takes Nearly $2 Million 'L' ... In Calabasas Home Sale
Britney Spears' quick decision to buy, and then turn around and sell, her new home is creating a significant financial loss for the singer.
Property records indicate Brit recently found a buyer for her Calabasas mansion, which she and husband Sam Asghari bought just last year for $11.8 million. However, soon after buying it, they listed it for $12 mil ... and we've learned the final offer she accepted was around $10.1M.
The final tally is about a $1.7M loss, but it seems this is what the market was able to bring in amid soaring interest rates and dipping property values. Fact is ... the longer she would have waited to sell, the less she'd get. The new homeowner is reportedly a Texas-based personal injury lawyer.
Remember, Britney and Sam bought the place right around the time of their wedding ... the home is in the same neighborhood where her ex-husband, Kevin Federline, lives with their 2 sons.
Things haven't really worked out on that front, though -- her boys are keeping their distance lately -- and we'd heard Brit felt the Calabasas home was too exposed for her liking anyway. She moved out just as quickly as she moved in, and currently resides back at her old place in Thousand Oaks.
As for the newly-offloaded crib itself -- well, it's a beaut. The guy who snapped it up has a lot of house on his hands. It's got 7 bedrooms, 9 bathrooms, and all the bells and whistles of luxury you'd expect with a Calabasas mansion. It also sits on a 1.6-acre parcel.
As they say ... easy come, easy go.

Bob Saget Former L.A. Home Sells For $5.4 Mil

Bob Saget's former L.A. home has finally found a buyer ... just one year after the comedian's unexpected death.
The late comedian's 6-bed, 7-bath house sold off-market last week for $5.4 mil -- as we reported, the place was originally listed for $7.7M last June but dropped down to $6.9M 3 months later.
He bought the beautiful home back in 2003 for $2.8 mil, and it comes with a ton of space -- and has sweet amenities like a spa, BBQ area, walk-in closet, and a big motor court out front. It's even got its own guest house, too.
Of course, the house hit the market months after Bob's death, which just reached the one-year anniversary last month on January 9 ... when he died in Orlando, after accidentally hitting his head and suffering a brain bleed.
Bob's wife Kelly saw the property as "too much of a burden," deciding to unload it despite all the fond memories they shared there.
She posted a photo last month at a get-together to honor Bob with other "Full House" cast members.
Bob's nephew, Adam Saget, at Compass, held the listing.

Miles Teller L.A. Home Trashed by Burglars ... Rude Homecoming Awaits

Miles Teller isn't going to have a pleasant return from an overseas trip -- cops say burglars took full advantage of his absence and hit his home hard.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... someone broke into the "Top Gun: Maverick" star's Los Angeles area home last week. We're told they gained entry by smashing a glass back door.
The crooks ransacked Miles' entire house looking for loot, but right now it's unclear what all they took. Once the actor's back in town, he'll go through the mess to evaluate what, if anything, is missing.
We're told cops were alerted to the caper by Miles' home alarm, but the suspects made a clean getaway.
Our sources say they don't believe Miles was intentionally targeted. Instead, he might have fallen victim to a string of burglaries that have been plaguing the area recently.
As of now, police haven't made any arrests ... but the investigation continues, and they're checking surveillance videos for clues.
We reached out to Miles' rep for comment, but so far no word back.

Billie Eilish Granted Temporary Restraining Order... Against Half-Naked House Loiterer

Good news for Billie Eilish ... a judge granted the singer's temporary restraining order against a shirtless man whom she caught lurking outside her Los Angeles home.
In legal docs, obtained by TMZ, the judge ordered Raymond Black to stay at least 100 yards away from Billie and her house ... and, more importantly, stop HARASSING her!!
The documents say Black must also avoid going to the home of Billie's parents, Maggie and Patrick.
The judge specified that the order was based on "a credible threat of violence or stalking."
As we first reported, Billie returned to her home Monday night only to find Black standing shirtless outside her living room window when she flipped on the lights. Even scarier, Black was gazing directly at Billie through the glass.
Totally freaked out, Billie called 911. Cops responded and searched the area for Black, arresting him nearby.
Billie says she reviewed her home security footage from earlier in the day ... the video allegedly showed Black walking around her property, taking off his clothes and even using her outdoor shower.
Not only that ... Billie says Black loitered around her property while it was under construction last year and has shown up at her parent's home looking for her.
This isn't Billie's first rodeo with an unwanted visitor. You may recall ... she recently got a 5-year restraining order against another man who allegedly broke into her family home last month.

Britney Spears Warned by Animal Control After Dog Gets Out & Bites Elderly Man

9:59 AM PT -- 2/25 -- Sam posted his thanks to a group called Dog Days Search & Rescue, which found their 2 dogs that escaped from their property, calling it "the best search and rescue here in Southern California." He says their dogs "ran like Forrest Gump out the door, and they were found 5-6 miles down the road." He's also promoting the dog charity and its good work.
Britney Spears, Sam Asghari and their security team will need to keep a closer watch on her beloved pooches, after at least one of the dogs got out and bit an elderly man.
Sources with direct knowledge tell us Britney's Doberman named Porsha got out from her Thousand Oaks property Thursday and was roaming the neighborhood. We're told at some point, Porsha came in contact with a man in his 70s who was riding his bike.
Our sources say the man got off his bike, and Porsha bit him in the leg before a member from Britney's security team came along to wrangle the pooch. We're told the man went to get his bite checked out at a local urgent care.
A source close to Britney tells us her team was later contacted by animal control and advised to make sure the dog stays on the property and doesn't get out again. The Britney source tells us the incident was described as more of a "nip" than a bite.
It was back in October 2021 when Sam gifted Britney Porsha, posting a video with the pup and exclaiming, "It's going to be trained to protect you from any motherf***er that comes around you with bad intentions."
Looks like Porsha might be taking guard dog duties a little too seriously.

Billie Eilish says she got a jump scare when she came home ... claiming when she flipped on the lights in her living room, a random man was standing shirtless outside her window.
The singer beelined it to court after Monday's alleged incident and is seeking court-ordered protection from a 23-year-old man named Raymond Black.
In new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Billie claims she received quite the shock Monday when she got home around 7:30 PM and discovered Black had snuck onto her property and made himself comfortable.
Billie claims she has security footage showing Black loitering around her Los Angeles home Monday afternoon, walking around her property, taking his clothes off and helping himself to her outdoor shower as he waited for her to get back.
She claims when she got home, she went straight inside and turned on a light in the living room to discover a shirtless Black on the pool deck staring back at her, with only a glass window separating them.
Billie says she called 911 and police raced to the home within minutes, searching her property for the culprit. She says cops didn't find him there, but ultimately tracked Black down a short while later on a nearby street and arrested him.
While Billie says Monday's alleged incident was super scary, she claims the same man also showed up looking for her at her parent's home ... and says he also made a couple visits to her home last year when it was still under construction.
Billie says his alleged behavior is causing her anxiety, fear and emotional distress ... and she's asking a judge for a temporary restraining order to keep him away from her and her parents.
She seems to be a magnet for this sort of alleged behavior ... remember, Billie recently got a 5-year restraining order against a man she said broke into her family home.

KIM ZOLCIAK DAUGHTERS DENY FAMILY HOME IS IN FORECLOSURE
Kim Zolciak's kiddos are denying the family's Georgia mansion is in foreclosure and heading to the auction block ... claiming it's all a misunderstanding.
The "Real Housewives of Atlanta" star's daughters, Brielle and Ariana Biermann, tried to clear the air Wednesday ... telling photogs at LAX the family is still living in their Alpharetta estate with no plans on moving out.
Brielle and Ariana say all the family's belongings are still in the home and they're not concerned about losing the house ... saying they even slept there before traveling across the country.
Kim's daughters don't go into depth on what the so-called misunderstanding is ... but as we reported last week, a public notice stated the home is scheduled to be auctioned off March 7 at the Fulton County Courthouse.
A law firm previously told us they were handling the foreclosure for Kim and Kroy Biermann's home, which rests along the 18th hole of the Manor Golf & Country Club.
Kim's kids say the house is already saved and their mom hasn't said anything to them about an upcoming auction, though they admit they've asked Kim about all the news reports.
Remember ... Kim and Kroy bought the home way back in 2012 for $880,000 and it's been heavily featured on 'RHOA' and the couple's own reality show, "Don't Be Tardy." The estate has an elevator, pool, waterfall, spa and basketball court.
Truist Bank reportedly began foreclosure proceedings on the property back in August after Kim and Kroy defaulted on their mortgage.
It will be interesting to see what happens March 7 ... Kim's kids say "stay tuned."

Khloe Kardashian EX-HOUSEHOLD ASSISTANT SUES ... Khloe Calls BS

Khloe Kardashian allegedly canned one of her former household assistants after he suffered a knee injury, and now he's suing ... but Khloe's attorney is calling BS.
Khloe just got hit with a lawsuit from her former-hired help, Matthew Manhard, who says working for her was a total nightmare.
According to the lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, Manhard claims he worked for Khloe from January 2019 until November 2022, when he says she fired him as he was trying to return to work from a knee injury that put him on the shelf.
Khloe's legal rep tells a different story, saying, "It’s unfortunate to learn that a former employee would choose to go this route. Matthew was properly classified and compensated for his role."
Khloe's former assistant claims she kept him so busy with tasks, he often couldn't take his legally required breaks ... and he says she also skirted paying him overtime even though he often worked 12-hour days.
What's more, Manhard claims he injured his knee in May and told Khloe he couldn't work ... but he says when he tried to come back to the job a few months later in November, he was fired.
As for Manhard's leave, Khloe's legal spokesperson tells us, "Toward the end of his employment, he was on a leave of absence for an extended period of time and the role eventually needed to be replaced. We will not tolerate false accusations and will prove that this is a frivolous lawsuit."
Manhard is going after her for money, claiming she violated a bunch of California labor laws.

Josh Flagg 'Selling Sunset' Ain't About Real Estate!!! We Really Sell on MY Show

Josh Flagg isn't backing down when comes to calling out the "Selling Sunset" crew -- and while he admits they might have actual real estate licenses, he insists they're still far from the real deal!!
The 'Million Dollar Listing' star joined "TMZ Live" Tuesday to dig deeper into his ongoing beef with Jason Oppenheim's Netflix crew. Josh fired the first shot, claiming the 'Sunset' folks were mostly bogus because they didn't have licenses.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Josh cleared the air with us ... saying whether or not they have licenses isn't really the issue, it's more about their selling prowess, or lack thereof.
He proudly pointed out the folks on his show "actually make a ton of sales," and have been doing so for a long time.
JF says the "Selling Sunset" team just needs to be transparent, and in his mind, that means telling the audience they're NOT about real estate ... they're about drama and entertainment.
Ya want real estate, he says check Bravo for 'MDLLA.'
Of course, Oppenheim himself told us there's no real beef with Josh despite his opinion of the show, and Josh didn't deny that. Instead, he clarified there's no animosity behind his remarks, just brutal honesty.
BTW, Josh isn't completely against everyone who does the show. He gave a shout-out to former cast member Christine Quinn, and says he's already bought 3 copies of Chrishell Stause's book -- but quickly turned that into a diss. Playfully, we think.
