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.

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.

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.

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.

My husband and I love all your videos. We first saw you on a video with Adam The Woo and checked your channel out and loved all you do so we subscribed. We have gone back and binge watched most of your videos. We really were sad when we saw this video because we loved Betty and it is always sad to see these homes torn down. We love your videos with your mother who seems so sweet and of Germany. It is so nice to see places I have heard so much about but will never get to to see myself so I do it through your videos. Keep up the great videos and we look forward to the next one.

Hi how are you doing?

[@Cindy7777777]

Betty White was one of a kind and will be missed!!! So so sad!!! GIV, I love what u do!!! Thank u!!!

[@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!!!

[@amlach6148]

Breaks my heart they tore her house down to put up a bigger home. So sad. 😢

[@bennyt83]

G.I.V great video thankyou for showing us. I feel your pain and it saddens me watching this

[@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!

[@KindCreature1]

Hi Mike, I just looked on Google Earth, you can still see a street view and satellite view of Betty's house. Thanks for posting.

[@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.💝🌟🙏

[@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.

I remember in the 80s there was a TV show in England called Through the Keyhole presented by David Frost and Lloyd Grossmann. Grossmann would present all the rooms inside of a famous persons house and a panel of celebrities had to guess whose house it was.

[@OldWurlitzerMusic]

great video about betty's house and some history about it , i lived on my family farm from 1811 , and we had a big restaurant and service station and dance hall there also on 44 acres that was left as it was sold because of the city getting to big and crime ect by niagara falls in canada , i was not there to see the big equipment and machines tear it down , for some reason i had to do other things those days when they tore it down , for me im glad i don't have that memory of seeing it demolished ... so in my case i would not want to see that moment

[@jillgross6232]

I always hate it when they tear down history! 😢 That beautiful home torn down, just to make another mansion! The historical value is worth so much more. It'll be interesting to see what they build. Maybe you'll make it back one day to show us.❤❤❤

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.

[@jeffreardon3969]

Mike! Well done! You need to do a history on " The Butcher of Brentwood" house. The OJ mansion. Before and after. I know they tore it down. That would be excellent! Horrifying moments when he was found innocent. I am still shocked and angry at the reactions.

[@victoriasuzanne1939]

OJ wasn't found innocent, he was acquitted. He was guilty as sin, but some jury members refused to convict him. So sad for the families that didn't get Justice.😢

[@jeffreardon3969]

@@victoriasuzanne1939 I agree, I think it was one of the most polarizing events in the country, and I still do. The acquittal shocked me, and the aftermath even more. I will never forget it.

Love your comments n thoughts on all topics you cover👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@ericiancarr]

They have great/fun estate sales in Brentwood. Due to new tax laws in California(prop 19) you have to sell an inherited house quickly or pay a huge yearly increase in property taxes.

[@bigbaddms]

Yeah, it looks like they 'snuck' that one in 2020, even though it shouldn't have been on the ballot. So basically, if a child inherits a home from their parent, then the tax gets stepped up to the current appraised value? That would make almost every inherited house totally unaffordable, if it's been owned very long.

[@josephaugello1527]

There is also a mansion tax in the city of LA
