Inside Mariah Carey’s Luxurious Real Estate Portfolio

Between their wedding and welcoming twins Moroccan and Monroe, Carey and Cannon purchased a $6.9-million Colonial-style mansion in Bel-Air nicknamed Fleur de Lys. The 11,750-square-foot home was previously owned by ’80s star Farrah Fawcett and boasted all the trappings of a celebrity estate: two gated driveways and motor courts out front and a huge brick terrace and luxurious swimming pool out back. The property featured multiple wings, with a double-height foyer, home theater, game room, recording studio, indoor basketball court, and something called the Aspen Room, a 32-foot-long entertainment lounge with a huge fireplace. After the pair called it quits in 2014, they listed the home and sold it for exactly $9 million the following spring.

By the summer of 2015, Carey was photographed with a new man, Australian billionaire James Packer. The pair shared a whirlwind romance and got engaged within months of dating. They quickly moved into a Mediterranean-style home in Calabasas, paying a reported $250,000 a month for the luxury pad. Situated on an acre within coveted gated community The Oaks, the estate measured 18,000 square feet, with six bedrooms and nine bathrooms, as well as a theater, a sauna, and a gym. The stones that made up the house were reportedly imported from Italy. The couple’s time together—and their time at the mansion—was short-lived, however. They announced their separation in October 2016, and Packer paid Carey a multimillion-dollar settlement as an “inconvenience fee” following their split.

Carey’s next move was a bit of a surprising one. The Grammy winner leased a Mediterranean-style mansion in Beverly Hills for $35,000 a month which had previously been occupied by Nicki Minaj, whom Carey famously feuded with while the two were judges on American Idol. The home’s amenities and aesthetic likely outweighed the bad blood; it featured a total of eight bedrooms and four full and four half baths in the main residence, as well as an attached apartment for guests or staff. In addition to Carey and Minaj, Frank Sinatra also previously occupied the peach-colored mansion.

During the pandemic, Carey made her way back to the east coast, renting a Bedford Corners home for a reported $125,000 per month. The unique 10,500-square-foot home, built in 2006, featured six bedrooms with coffered ceilings, seven bathrooms, four powder rooms, a massive home theater, and a 900-gallon aquarium. Perhaps most noteworthy, however, was the property’s 90-foot violin-shaped swimming pool, which reportedly cost $1 million for the homeowner to build, and included nearly half-a-million glass tiles with fiber optic strands that lit up at night, as well as two koi ponds that stood in for the violin’s bow.
