The Lakers star, who’s currently competing for an NBA championship in Florida, just bought a Mediterranean-style compound in the Beverly Hills Post Office area for $36.75 million, according to the Multiple Listing Service.

Spanning 2.5 acres, the property was sold by the estate of Lee Phillip Bell, the talk show host and “The Young and the Restless” co-creator who died earlier this year.

The mammoth deal marks an eastward move for James, who also owns a pair of homes in Brentwood: one that he bought for $21 million in 2017 and another that he picked up two years later for $23 million.

A series of structures and amenities fill out the secluded grounds including a Mediterranean-style home, two guesthouses, a screening room, swimming pool, pool house and tennis court. The scenic setting takes in sweeping views of the city below.

Approached by a hedge-lined driveway and palm-topped motor court, the primary residence spans 9,100 square feet with two bedroom suites and seven fireplaces. It was built in the 1930s but updated over the years during Bell’s ownership.

The first thing he’ll do is take that American flag down and run up the Red Chinese and BLM flags.

Prostitute Gladiators, getting paid King’s Ransoms for performing a child’s game.
What an utter waste of resources

Here’s hoping that the Miami Heat embarrass LeBron and his Lakers by beginning a sweep tonight in the NBA Bubble Finals.

This coming from a depressed Boston Celtics fan, who just watched the Heat eliminate my team in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Just think how well he could have done hadn’t he been oppressed by whitey

[Blood of Tyrants]

And almost as smart.

“Prostitute Gladiators”

Sounds like a reality game show.

Poor bastard has been treated horribly in this country.

Does it have a wall around the compound or did he ask to remove the wall? 😀

[Hambone 1934]

Will he open it to all the other black men being hunted??????

[NormsRevenge]

Bet his neighbors (and real state agents) are thrilled.

2.5 acre mansion? Or is it a mansion on 2.5 acres....My house is on 2.75 acres, but it isn't worth $36.75 million...😀
