R. Kelly has not paid the mortgage on his Olympia Fields mansion in over a year [click here if you missed that] and is desperately trying to unload it in a $1.5 million fire sale...
From The NY Daily News
The suburban Chicago mansion of Grammy-winning singer R. Kelly is on the market.
A real estate listing shows the 22,000-square-foot mansion in Olympia Fields with a $1.595 million price tag. It's a short sale, meaning Kelly owes more on the house than it's worth.
Kelly custom-built the 16-room gated mansion in 1997. The house includes eight full bathrooms, four fireplaces, an indoor pool, sauna and theater room. There's also a private lake.
Over the summer the house was the subject of a $2.9 million foreclosure lawsuit because Kelly reportedly failed to make monthly mortgage payments for more than a year.
Kelly's spokesman, Allan Mayer, says the singer hasn't lived in the home for more than a year.
