Today I checked out Betty White’s house in Brentwood California after she passed away not even one year later they sold her house which she bought in 1968. I could not believe my eyes the house was demolished and completely gone. It was really sad to see that such an iconic place was just erased.

My dad was a gardener and worked for many famous people, you will be surprised how much money a good gardener can make. He was never sad, his clients were very generous , one producer gifted my dad a cadillac.

l did synthetic putting greens for landscape west in Torrance cali. We worked w/ some very famous people while l was there in the 90s. The landscape architects are like family to these people. Kardashians. Roseanne Barr. Pete Carroll. Sugar ray Leonard. l just built the putting greens but my friend that owned the company had many 'perks' like stays at vacation properties, gifted cars, golf cart, clubs and membership, lifetime restaurant freebies etc etc. You are correct.

Great video GIV. I loved Bette White , like millions of people. You look like you’ve gotten a little color, LA is good for you. I don’t think people need homes that big, some of those homes only have 2 people living in them. People have too much money. Don’t think that you are less than them. I live near Lake Michigan, we have homes on the lake that people only live in during the summer months. Massive homes.

[@seekingjoynow1722]

When I first moved to LA in1988 I was a visiting nurse. I visited many Brentwood and Bellaire residences. From what I learned most of these people own businesses or have inherited money. I also learned most of these people were not happy. Of course I can only speak about the people I met, but what looks so good on the outside is not always what it appears to be on the inside.

[@sebastienbolduc5654]

@@inproper3952 there are many people from all walks of financial life that are not happy. As I always say, "I'd rather be rich and miserable than poor and miserable." At least you'd be having something working in your favor. There are more miserable people who are poor than rich. Why? Because the majority of people are not rich. We lie to ourselves about these things, which we shouldn't. However, money only resolves issues that money can resolve. It all depends on the mindset of the person with the money, how they view and manage it in comparison to life. And yes, money can buy you health too. You can afford the best healthcare it can buy, but only to a point. Personally, my mind doesn't view people as being rich or poor. It's the way my thought processes were conditioned by the way I was raised. Judge people by the content of their character, period. I know, and have known, people from all walks of financial life. At the end of the day people are people. I think when people inherit money, aka generational wealth, that's where the problems may arise in some cases. When the poor come into money, and they have the wrong mindset, they don't manage it well. That's where the misery can come into play for some of them. And when I say inherit I am especially referring to those who are born into wealth. In the cases of many of those homes you see in this video, the majority are probably families with generational wealth. As for a home, home is when you are with the people that you love. Without them, it's not a home. That's true for the poor as much as it is for the rich.

[@reedberry]

In the 1970s, I met Betty and her husband Allen Ludden at CBS Television City after they had appeared as guests on the TV game show, "Tattletales." I waited outside the studio after the show to meet them and get their autographs, which I still have. They were both very nice. I was a teenager. They didn't have to be nice to me, but they were, and I'll always remember that. I did tear up when I heard that Betty had passed. She will be missed, and now so will her house.

Betty White wanted her home demolished and put it in her will. Her family was asked to carry this out. The new buyer wasn’t even allowed to tour the home. She didn’t want her privacy violated, nor her life turned into a circus. She wanted her private space that she shared with her late husband to be kept private. By tearing down the home they had together, she took those private memories with her.

[@James-ns2hs]

I used to get kind of depressed when I was younger and seeing those rich people. Older I get, I realized some of them are just miserable. They get divorces or get into bad addictions etc (some); I was able to retire at age 51 and my home is paid for, I have really no bills, I could pretty much travel any where and buy things I want (not everything); but guess what, it doesn’t bring me joy. You can have all the money in the world and still be depressed and lonely. Some one said this recently; before you buy something you want or something you think you need. Remember, you have things you bought in the past that you really wanted badly and now it’s just taking up room or you don’t care about it anymore.

Betty White lived a VERY GREAT life. Sadly she lost the love of her life way to soon, they were made for each other, her and Allen Ludden from password game show fame. She loved her Carmel house that’s where she wanted to be. She and Allen had it built together it was their love nest. This house in Brentwood served it purpose for her Hollywood career and later in life for her medical care. I’m sure it was in disrepair, she knew it would be torn down and sold for the land. Everything changes. GIV it’s so nice you have such a kind caring heart don’t ever loose that quality, it’s GOLD. Rest In Peace Betty, your with your Allen again 💔

[@Felicia790]

So true, just before my mom died at age 84 she had got rid of most of her stuff in the house and sold most of her jewellery at a later stage of her life and rightly so! Sadly it’s only materialism and nothing is taken with the deceased. I too am 60 and have become a minimalist.

But mostly, having so many people die and being the person that had to deal with the possessions and property its too much. And I wont force somebody who cares about me have to do it.

I think the gardeners or landscapers that receive the check are happy and get paid well. If they work for a company's behalf, their check might not be as large, but I think still happy. My husband worked in an office making more money, but then transitioned to landscaping making less, he was SO happy being outside, moving, and seeing the end projects of his landscaping. It was way worth it for him. His clients would be surprised to see he was the one working on their lawns because they (sadly) didn't expect to see him since he looked like he worked in an office.

Reminds me of the house that 4 generations of my family lived in. It was sold in 1997 before my grandmother died. It was in a industrial mix area and we thought that the new owner was going to tear it down for his business. He used it as a live-in with his inventory stored in the cleared yard. Built in the 1920's it was closing in on age 95. They scraped it a year ago and now squeezed a 12 unit, 3-floor vertical apartment unit is on the 1 1/2 plot parcel. The rest of that neighborhood is going vertical at one old house at a time.

There were people openly using drugs and illegal aliens are the majority in some places. And yes, it is true that people are using the sidewalks as their toilet.

You're right, we need to get our of our little four walls and explore different locations. Aw, sad to see Betty's home demolished. thank you for taking us on fun little excursions. We appreciate you!

[@makingnewdreamscometrue]

GiV, so glad you did this video. I appreciate all the work and time you put into the videos you post. I also love your life motto. Life is too short so it’s important to do what makes you happy. I hope someone has footage of the demolition and reaches out to you. You should film the new construction as it progresses until it’s completed. Thank you for everything you share with us.

[@SarahRenz59]

I laughed when you talked about wanting to go door to door and ask the residents, "What do you do for a living?" I've wanted to do the exact same thing in the wealthier neighborhoods where I live! 🤣🏰 ETA: Betty's house was lovely -- very "homey" looking. Whoever bought the property probably tore down her house so they could build a big, ugly, tacky McMansion in its place.

[@cyn4476]

The inside of the house wasn't in great shape. She wanted it torn down.

Yes that’s what they do in California

[@cyn4476]

@@cariemorgangraff4829 I'm curious what you think is done in California, please elaborate.

[@christian5707]

I love how people not from California have this idea what actually occurs in California. We have our flaws that’s for sure but as far as housing goes there are many many houses that maintain their beauty. I live in the gold country, houses were built during the gold rush and still stand and are lived in.

[@cariemorgangraff4829]

@@cyn4476 in Corona Del Mar most property is sold torn down and big houses are built. This area was all little beach cottages now there are not many left. It changed the look of the area. I went to high school there my mother lived there until her passing 2015. I’ll bet the same thing is going on in lots of areas of SoCal. One of the many reason no type of starter homes left.

GREAT COVERAGE MIKE I FEEL THE SAME ON THINGS PAST HISTORY OF THINGS AND AND PEOPLE💯📽.THANKS FOR SHARING

[@jama17gill]

So sad about Betty's house. But life goes on, and new progress is made with everything. I think people do what they love and are cut out to do. Not everybody wants to be a celebrity. Also: Sad about Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman = being in the wrong place at the wrong time. I couldn't live in a house where a brutal crime went on. Thanks for covering these places, Mike!!! Love all your videos!!!

Thank you for sharing, I loved the golden girls show , my all time favorite, you very lucky to be there ❤

[@johnleinen7167]

Hey Mike, I've been to many estate sales in celebrity neighborhoods in L.A, usually it's the children and relatives that are fighting over who gets what and the homes get destroyed right away. That house probably cost 35k to build in 55 including the land!

Those ‘weird trees’ you mentioned with silvery white bark are silver birches, grows tall with small leaves giving dappled light without a large canopy.

Hi to uk my sister lives in Wales

[@gridley]

What's sad too is that compared with the era of the Golden Girls in the 1980s, I don't think the culture & politics in today's world would allow something like that. Things have become too flinty & mean-spirited. Also not helped since the format of network/antennae TV is now cable/pay/streaming.

[@ricks.1318]

Mike .... This was a GREAT VIDEO man ....... Very GOOD information on a Superstar actress as FAMOUS as Betty White !!! "Thanks" GIV

[@familydutton6568]

Thank you GIV, for sharing this video with all of us 🌏🌎🌍🌟. Betty White was certainly very special to so many people! I can't believe they demolished her home!😢 It should have been priceless! I saw where a guy named Scott Michaels has some pieces of her gravel and is selling them for $50, so disgusting 🤑!!! I always appreciate the respect you, Mike, show in all your videos and that's what sets you apart and above the others. 🙏💝🌟 Rest in Peace Dear sweet Betty White.💝🌟🙏

She wanted it torn down. It was in her will she even talked about it she didn’t want the house up after she died

That's interesting. I can't help but wonder why. It was a charming home.

Superb video GIV ! Great points, as well I believe alot of those people have “ old Money” family generational wealth inheritance. Most not all but most will not hang out or want to talk to normal hard working people.

[@jackcakeblack]

Good video thanks for sharing.Maybe the builder who bought is going to build two houses if the lot is big enough.That is crazy price to pay, the property is not ocean front.A view of the Getty building is not exactly great.Stop by in 6 months see what happened.Sad for all her fans with the house gone!

[@sheelfjohnson]

Thanks for showing this. I love seeing the door with the cat and the dog on the mailbox. Those really reminded me of her and her work with animals🐶🐱.

I saw the Simpson & Goldman murder scene before they changed it, they were trapped in an area the size of two phone booths. Had me wishing for a time machine so I could go to the restaurant and hand Nichole's mother her glasses that she dropped. 😉 Thanks for GiV'ng

@@jacobmiller1157 Not unusual for film crews to be filming in the L.A. area. One night I was coming home from my night shift job when I saw a film crew shooting in my neighborhood. They had the street lit-up so bright I thought they were filming a day time scene, so I walked over to see what they were filming and was thrilled to discover they were filming the sequel to my favorite movie..Back to the Future.
