Celine's house in Jupiter Island, Florida

[Xpresso]

The title of the article was changed. It said "at a huge loss" but it was changed to "half of its original price" or something like that.

Obviously it's not necessarily a loss even if it sold for half the asking price...

The way I look at it, she's a multimillionaire so if she loses some money on that house it's not like she went broke or anything tbh.

[Xpresso]

I'm sure she's not broke.

Who knows what she paid for it, or had invested in it. But, regardless, a financial loss on the sale, if anything, might help on her taxes.

Hopefully the new owner enjoys the home; the photographs of the home are beautiful.

The profits from the sale, I think it goes to the boys, RC, Eddy and Nelson, didn't the will say that?

[wjd]

Yeah I'd like to know how much it cost to build. It's only a loss if it cost more to build than the selling price

 

I doubt she's spent more than $20 million on it - what would ultimately drain resource is the commitment to maintain the property and its water supply and the local taxes. I bet she's just pleased to offload it. She'll lose a sizable chunk of the sale price in property taxes - capital gains tax in Florida is 20% for top rate tax payers [of which she is of course one]. Which means that she'll pay 20% of the profit back in tax to the state - but still, she's two properties down.

 

I wonder what she has left! That's three properties she's offloaded now in the last couple of years isn't it?

It's usually cheaper to build a home than to buy an existing property. But I'm glad it's finally sold. Really hoping she stops buying property now. Unless she actually uses it.

I've always felt that her owning so much land was Rene's influence on her. I could be wrong but that's just what I got from it all.

I think it's a mix of both. Céline likes to design homes and René I think was investing money, maybe to flip it?

That's true! Céline was the creative mind and Rene just pushed it all to happen?

They had bought two lots (one had an old house on it which they tore down) to build their house. I think the total price for both was around 15M if I remember correctly. So she's probably not making much profit on it. Less profit, less taxes!

She must have been paying a lot of money having nobody using it but still being kept, like the pools, slides and keeping everything clean. That must have cost a fortune. So ok even if she sold the house with less profit or even loosing money, at least she doesn't have to pay for the upkeep

 

 

I'm still curious if she's planning something with the empty plot she owns next to her Las Vegas house

She (I always write "they" first ) must have had something in mind when she bought the plot

[emiliejolie]

I wonder what was the cost to build for her?

 

 

I remember that right after Celine moved in a canadian magazine reported that it was build for 30 millions USD. So actually she would not lose $$$ on it. She just not made the gain capital she would have expected .

Celine has actually said the opposite -- that it's she who loves all their houses, while Rene would have been perfectly happy to stay in their first Florida house.

 

In My Story, My Dream, she says [of a time in the mid-90s], "I wanted to build the house of my dreams, a house that resembled Rene and me. . . Rene didn't like the idea at all. He was perfectly happy with our house in Palm Beach. He wanted me to take up golf rather than throw myself into a project that would devour the little free time that I had." She quotes Rene as saying, "Why move? It's fine here." (p. 238)

 

She also says: "I have to say that my house project seemed to annoy Rene to no end. He liked our home in Palm Beach and could have stayed there contentedly for our entire life." She talks about Rene having bought the Mirage golf course, and talked about building a house there for their old age (sad to think of now), but he never got seriously involved in the projects the way she did.

 

And. . "When it came to show business, Rene was always in control and wanted to check out everything. But nothing interested him less than a construction site. He didn't understand why I wanted to involve myself in such craziness." (p. 252)

 

It sounds like the real estate thing was all Celine.

I think Céline has learned a valuable lesson from René. Keep it simple, honey!

[Angel2006]

I agree with Rene's thoughts on the first Florida home. I always loved that house and it has always been my favorite, out of all the houses Celine and Rene shared together. A part of me does wish that Celine never sold that place. It was so beautiful.

[Cafe67]

It's not like I knew Rene, and I've never met Céline (and I'm sure I never will), but this just made me sad. I realize that she wanted to get rid of a property that she doesn't have time to enjoy, but it's where the twins were born, and it's really the last place that Renè was able to be with them without being sick. It's also the place that I'm sure RC remembers spending time with his dad playing ball, golfing, and swimming. Not sure anyone else will understand my thought on that, but it just feels like a loss to me for some reason. Edited April 27, 2017 at 01:53 AM by Cafe67

Yes and do you remember she also stated in an interview, buying property is like playing Monopoly. The woman likes her Monopoly!

Thanks. So if her initial cost was 30 mil than it's not a loss. (Although there is the expense/taxes of maintaining it for the some odd years that they owned it.)

Either way I'm glad she "unloaded" it but jeez that was a gorgeous house!

This is the most beautiful house of céline. I think it's a perfect place to relax if she's on break with her huge family here. Huge place, nice environment, front beach.. it's just amazing! Too bad she sell it.

Being all decorated in white, no wonder why she would want to get rid of it-it must have costed crazy loads of money for maintenance and cleaning!!!

[DionFanAlways]

The house is gorgeous but I don't think it will resist such a storm.

[angelil78]

Sadly there will be a LOT of damage to the house a LOT.

 

Glad Céline sold it already so she won't be affected as much as if she was the owner. She doesn't seem attached to her former properties .. but we don't know really.

 

I wish there was a way to know how much damage there was after the hurricane passes.

 

And btw, I am way more worried about the poor people on the islands in the Caribbean that have no way to hide from the hurricane. I don't think a lot about Célines house.. but this is a Céline Forum..
