Ono seemed to be the one who called the shots as Lennon was not in the forefront conducting the business. One of the extra apartments in the Dakota was her office. But Ono did the same thing in ousting the Uncle who was the legal guardian of Lennon’s half Sisters. The Aunt had previously died so after Lennon died, she did not hesitate to get rid of the property. She reportedly first wanted to sell it, then it went to the Salvation Army. Lennon intended the house to be for his half Sisters but the house was never in any of their names nor the Aunt or Uncle of whom he said he was also indebted to for raising the girls. This was a very modest house not worth a ton so you would think she would have been a giving person & fixed it up & let the Uncle just stay there. Aunt Mimi, who raised Lennon, was also living in stress in her final years because the house Lennon bought her was also not in her name but miraculously wasn’t ousted from it. But imagine the stress Aunt Mimi went through in her old age not knowing exactly what would happen. No doubt Ono had some influence in selling the house John & Cynthia lived in. She thought nothing of wearing Cynthia’s robe in this very house when Lennon brought her there to the marital domain when Cynthia was on holiday. Cynthia came home early & witnessed this humiliation in her own home. I don’t know if they both had the same divorce lawyer or her lawyer wasn’t competent but Cynthia seemed to have gotten screwed big time. The laws in England no doubt differ from the States but you would think with a minor child, Cynthia would have been able to stay there.

What a nasty thing to do! Selling his first house out from underneath his wife and child, to run off with “the other woman”. Tough enough the son loses his father, but then to kick his own family out of the only house they knew, and take away the place of all their memories. Childhood home gone! So much for all that talk of “peace and love”…

I`m a fan off the Beatles, personally I believe John Lennon as a man , as a person , and as a father he fails in many ways. When the Fab Four just started , they were so close , so friendly and loving guys including John , but with the years to come , the large huge success especially Lennon develop a nasty and ugly personality problably generated by the addiction off the hard drugs , he bacame just a JUNKIE and by the end and finals days off the Beatles he went to many rehabilitation programs to DETOX, and his partnership with Yoko Ono make a real impact and changes thru the years NOT for good.His addiction with other reasons problably contributed to the total disolution off the gratest band in the las centuty , and the history of Rock and Roll .He was so UNFARE with his first son Julian the same way like his FATHER treat him when he was a child, leaving him whitout MONEY and protection, and the way he was with Cynthia , a very decent english lady was despicable .As a man, husband and father he DID`NT make a THE GRADE just in my point of view.

Aunt Mimi was furious that the house was up in the air after Lennon died. Miraculously, Ono did not oust her from the home but Aunt Mimi no doubt endured great stress in her old age as it was said she was worried as to what would end up happening. Ono already ousted Lennon’s elderly Uncle who helped raise his half Sisters from a modest home not worth a ton after Lennon died. Lennon had bought that home for the benefit of his half Sisters but did also say he was indebted to the Aunt & Uncle for raising the girls. So it was reported she wanted to immediately sell it after Lennon died but it went to the Salvation Army.

Sean is reportedly in charge now so hopefully he’ll do the right thing in regard to Julian when Ono dies. Julian never did get all of what was rightfully his & had to spend what he did get to buy back his Father’s personal items. Julian is not lacking money wise, but did get short changed in what should have been rightfully his.

Selfish and manipulative woman….jealousy and complete dominance was behind all of the turmoil in the relationship between John and his son Julian. She is and was a very hard ass cruel selfish woman. An opportunist. She had a lover and a serious drug addiction even when pregnant. One of John’s personal secretary’s /assistant wrote a book so did his John’s mistress sent to him by his wife in California during their separation wrote a book. All the wealth still did nothing to improve or warrant world wide respect for her. Her singing was a joke. She was tolerated. John was the bread winning genius. She had no talent or money when he met her. She was dominant in the relationship. I lost some respect for him at the end of his life he was weak. He seemed happy to let her have complete control. His life seemed strange and out of kilter after meeting her ..he remained talented thank goodness but he lost part of himself to her dominance some on wanting peace was good but the drugs and his entire demeanor was strange. At that time he was not a good father to his son. He was not generous to Julian after his murder. That weakness is unforgivable only the second son was to be the worthy one? None of the Beatles first marriage except for Paul was happy..until her death…the others all divorced had affairs which were shocking. All the property, money is shallow which is a reminder that you can’t take it with you when you die. You can’t own and live in that many places and enjoy them. I think John didn’t care about or want to be being a billionaire. I believe the wife was the greedy one. It’s just gluttony and way too much money. The property taxes alone in the UK are outrageous. This is a puff piece on how extraordinarily wealthy and never enough by his wife. She could feed all the homeless for a year..build affordable houses for the working poor.. Dolly Parton donated enough money to the lab to invent the Covid vaccine Moderna when the economy in 2020 all over the world and the USA was crashing because nothing to prevent it existed. She donates to so many worthwhile causes. The ex wife of Billionaire Jeff Bezos has almost given everything she received in her divorce settlement to charities. Warren Buffett has given away millions..he said you can’t spend it all in a life time. John was a sensitive artist a genius at his writing however still vulnerable and naive at business. He had a sad childhood which damaged him emotionally. I think he did wise up to the mess he married in some respect in the end. He took care of their son as a baby and small child. She was busy downstairs managing her world..her new lover and the money empire. Note: she tried to block the assistants’ book however it was published.

The East Side Penthouse and the Long Island property are beautiful in their own different ways. One the epitome of city living, with fantastic views the other rural and coastal. The Dakota on the other hand gives me the creeps. Too Gothic, too sinister. I don't know how Yoko could continue to live there after John's assassination.

I couldn’t imagine having a mansion!But,you’d have to have a lot of money 💰 to live there!And,living in New York City 🌆 would be difficult 😞 to live in without a lot of 💰 money!This is the same with Des Moines,Iowa,too!It’s hard to have an affordable home to live in!

Well, because of interest rates & the economy, average people can’t buy a house for the most part. Canada has also gouged its citizens so they can’t afford to buy homes either. Regular ordinary modest homes are overpriced in most areas of the States.

Where did all that money come from? Yes, I know about the Beatles. But I was under the impression that they had signed away the publishing rights to their music and received a paltry percentage of the records sales(?) It’s quite something that the author of “Baby, You’re a Rich Man” had a taste for aristocratic Tudor style mansions on expansive groomed estates and insane upper east side penthouse suites with killer panoramic views of the East River - cool enough to attract a fly by of a UFO! (I wonder if they took a snapshot of John looking up to show their friends and family back in Andromeda?) What could the rent have been for that penthouse at the South Gate?

It was said Ono contributed to much of the lyrical content of the song Imagine so I wonder what her lyrical contribution was. She now shares writing credits w/Lennon since 2017.

Yoko was, is, a brilliant businesswoman. She realized that real estate and land were the way to go with investments. I passed up a couple of lots in Houston in the late 70s that were only $1000 each. So, my BF bought them. He told me in 2006 that he sold them, still vacant lots, for $40.000 each. Holy cow, what a stupid decision I made not to buy them. The only money he had to put into them was paying taxes every year.

Honestly, the comment that he said about that he had a plan child and that was Sean and that his other child Julian was whiskey is just speaks volumes about his character as a father. Julian didn’t have anything or any choice about that matter he said that still had a responsibility and the fact that he cut him out and he had to fight for anything is justhorrible as far as I’m concerned, he was a dead dad. I don’t care if you think that that’s a comment. It’s the truth.

@revrotunda32067 ай бұрын
Not directly as Ono handled his will & all that. Julian was in litigation w/Ono in regard to the Lennon estate for like a decade where it was said lawyers advised Ono to end this. Julian’s exact settlement was not disclosed but it was still lacking in comparison to what he probably should have received & Julian had to use much of that money to buy back his Father’s belongings & other personal items Ono put at auction instead of just dividing it amongst both Sons where the Sons could have just decided in regard to John Lennon’s effects.

You first said that Tittenhurst was on Sunninghill then in Ascot but the real place of Tittenhurst is Sunningdale as it was shown written in your video. Sunningdale is the smallest town of that area, then comes Sunninghill where Sarah Ferguson (Prince Andrew's ex wife) Princess Caroline of Monaco and Bianca Jagger lived. Then comes Ascot with its world famous race course Royal Ascot and where Queen Noor of Jordan lives. After Ascot is Bracknell where the market and shopping centre is an it is where the transistor was invented. Nowadays Tittenhurst is owned by an Arab Sheikh who torn down Tittenhurst's wooden fence and put a brick wall instead which neighbours say it cost more than the mansion. Tittenhurst was painted yellow and it is adorned with Islamist art, the white piano of the Imagine video was totally broken and destroyed as well as the recording studio,

My best friend and I are both 65. A few days ago we were talking about various celebrities and got to talking about Lennon. The older we get, the more we realize what an utter hypocrite he was. Singing about having no possessions while wallowing in luxury. P.S. The houses he owned were beautiful.

50+ years ago, the greed hadn’t gotten to the point it has now & in recent decades but that was still considered expensive then. All homes, even modest ones particularly in large metro cities, have been over priced for a very long time now.
