Will Mariah Carey Purchase Suzanne Saperstein’s Estate?

Real estate watchers are about the only ones that have kept a close eye on Suzanne Saperstein, the “billionaire divorcee”. Now, almost 3 years after putting her $ 125 million Fleur de Lys estate on the market, rumors are that it might just be sold. If the rumors turn out to be true, Suzanne Saperstein may not need to look into a $ 125 million mortgage loan modification.

The home of Suzanne Saperstein sold?

Suzanne Saperstein's estate has been on the market for the last three years. Despite many calls to do so, Suzanne Saperstein has categorically refused to cut prices on the 35,000 square foot, 12 bedroom palace. The current rumor is, though, that Mariah Carey has put a bid in on the estate with hubby Nick Cannon. On five acres of property, Fleur de Lys contains a screening room, multiple kitchens, ballroom, and fully stocked first-edition library. If Mariah Carey pays full price and gets a good rate of interest, that’s just a mere $709,000 a month in mortgage payments for 30 years.

Suzanne Saperstein’s divorce

Suzanne Saperstein has been known for more than just the sale of her multi-million dollar home. David Saperstein, an oil billionaire, was married to Suzanne Saperstein for years. When she was on a layover in Texas, Suzanne was served divorce papers on-board the company jet. Her husband divorced her so he could possibly be with the nanny. One of one of the most expensive divorces in L.A. history, this divorce was very high profile.

The rogue of 90210 – Suzanne Saperstein?

Rather than living on her husband’s name, though, the Swedish previous model has taken the money to “explore new things.” In amongst everything else, Suzanne has helped her daughters start a fashion line that raises money for drunk driving awareness and taken up Latin dance competition. She is also spending quite a bit of money on beginning a gender-neutral ballroom facility- where same gender and opposite gender couples are equally welcomed. She may not be marching on the White House or causing riots, but this ultra-rich socialite is quietly — and expensively — making a name for herself.
