Mike Tysons Abandoned Mansion

Pic creds to Mike Adams
How is this 3 million dollar house still abandoned after 11 years??

[@MrYoubrian]

The MOST shocking part is that some interior designer actually got paid for that work!!!! The second thing that is sad--why is it abandoned? A place that big, out in the country, would be a good donation for a rehab center for teens or another charity.

[@BarryShite25]

Man this creeps me out big time. Just to think that at one time this place was probably teaming with life pussy drugs and music and now it stands empty and abandoned. CREEPY STUFF 😨

He doesnt own the place it was sold to Paul Monea about 99-2000 which was purchased with stolen money. The feds then took down Monea for money fraud and the house sat untouched. As of this current moment recent reports say the house has been resold and is currently undergoing renovations INCLUDING NEW POOL WATER ;)

[@fragger7676]

well i guess that does explain the undrained pool

[@limeyosu2000]

hope they fix it up if the fed sold it, it probably went cheap!

[@jackjohnson2853]

***** What it doesn't explain is the presence of the water after all several years. That roof seemed intact.

[@jameszurawski4485]

jack johnson If it's not drained I assume it would take a long time for 10s of thousands of gallons of water to evaporate. That's my theory.

[@Tgogators]

Indeed. the structure itself was in good shape when it got sold (I believe a real estate investor for out of state brought it). Must been a near mortage payment to heat place in the winter months.

[@vettebecker1]

Overall, still looks to be in descent shape

[@arleyki]

There’s actually a fairly fascinating backstory to this dilapidated mansion, which hasn’t even belonged to Tyson since the late nineties (hence the decor straight out of a Scorsese mob movie). More recently, it belonged to a businessman named Paul Monea, who got rich hawking TaeBo workout tapes with Billy Blanks. He used some of that TaeBo money to buy Tyson’s old Ohio mansion for $1.3 million. Then things went bad for Monea. You see one of Paul’s prize possessions was this gigantic, 40-carat diamond. Eventually, Paul decided he wanted to sell both the diamond and the house. He was approached by a buyer who was very interested in both, and who had the money to do something about it, but he told Paul his money was drug money. Paul basically said to the guy, “I don’t want to know where you got your money, and what do I care if it’s drug money?” They go ahead and make the deal. Well, almost. Turns out the man was actually an FBI agent doing what I, as a non-lawyer, believe is a textbook example of entrapment. Paul went to jail, his assets were seized, and now this mansion stands lonely and empty, seemingly haunted by the ghosts of parties past.

[@fraudsarentfriends4717]

Mike Tyson - consuming wealth upon himself. What is wealth unless it is shared with graciousness, kindness and humility? Wealth is a good thing in the right hands and a dangerous or foolish weapon in the wrong hands.

I have trouble believing the pool isn't more evaporated than it is--even so, a large surface of water like that, unless managed, can wreak havoc on the structure of the building--it'd always be humid and musty. Indoor pools are usually regretted by those who purchase them.

When I Was In High School He lived Right Down the Back Roads in A Town Called Bernardsville, Nj So 1986- 88 ish ..We would leave on our free periods and take the way back roads so we could smoke pot..shh. We would always drive by his house..one time he was standing right there near the Road as we passed and gave us a huge wave as Smoke was coming out of our windows.

If I were to restore it, the first thing I'd do is rip out that ridiculous zebra carpet. Otherwise, that's a beautiful house, and not in real bad shape. The pool either needs some serious work, or filled in and the room turned into an entertainment/ballroom, but otherwise, I don't see a lot of work to be done. Someone should do so, before it does become a total wreck.

It's a pentacostal church now called Living World Sanctuary. They bought it and the congregation did a lot of their own work to renovate it. It took them over four years to complete. The pool is now where they have their services. I'm guessing the minister (or whatever pentacostals called their leader), lives there. The tiger cages are now a pavillion. The only thing remaining of Mike Tyson's that is still fully original, is the basketball court. No one has messed with that since Tyson owned it. Well, at least the building still survives. Glad to know that it wasn't simply bulldozed

There's a guy who couldn't handle success. It happens a lot to pro athletes. They spend their whole young lives preparing to be a success in their sport, and have no idea how to deal with the tiger once they really catch it. some figure it out before it's too late, but sadly and all too often, many if not most, do not. There are far too many, rags to riches, to rags stories throughout professional sports. In the end he became the person he should have been at the height of his career. The peak earning years are extremely short in most pro sports, and you only get one chance to get your finances and personal life together within that short span of time. Regret reigns supreme among these folks, but most will never say that in public. They will say, that getting it right under the circumstances of that time and place in their lives, is much like getting lucky enough to catch lightening in a bottle.

[@jmackinjersey1]

62636263c Apparently you don't understand what happened with this piece of property, or how Mike Tyson had the foresight to have someone help him with his finances. Mike Tyson was not the last owner of this property and did not let it go un-kept and fall into disrepair.

[@62636263c]

Jeremiah Mckenna I'm pretty certain of that. Just stating how these things go as far as pro athletes are concerned.Not really focusing on the house per say. When it comes to properties, many went vacant from 2008 thru 2012 for many reasons.

[@blacksunshine1089]

[phone]c Roughly 75% of pro athletes go broke at some point after their careers are over. It's gotten so bad that even the NFL makes rookies attend a sort of course finances, living well within your means, and figuring out what you want to do after football. Part of it's that these guys think all of that money is going to last forever even though most pro sports careers only last a few years. Part of it's animal instinct in that the more money one has, the more money they spend.
