This is the home of Denver Nuggets superstar Carmelo Anthony. The home is located on S Polo Ridge Drive in Littleton, CO. Carmelo bought the 25,610 square foot mega-mansion, named The Sognare Estate, back in April of 2007 for $12,000,000. The home was built by Stephen Jacobsen, the former Executive Vice President of Qwest. Stephen was given Carmelo’s old home in Lakewood as part of a deal. The home which sits on nearly 6 acres of land contains 7 bedrooms, 9 bathrooms, a grand foyer with marble columns, a 5,000 bottle wine cellar, an 11,000 square foot barn, a mahogany paneled library, a recording studio, 8 fireplaces, a swimming pool with large pool house, and a 7-car garage. Who ever knew that a baller could live such a lavish lifestyle? Carmelo is definitely living the dream.

Popstar Britney Spears is leasing this mansion for $30,000 a month. She is staying here for 1 month while touring the east coast. Her record label, Jive Records, is reportedly paying for it. The mansion is located on Brenner Place in Alpine, NJ. The 7 bedroom , 8 bathroom house contains a home theater, a playroom perfect for her two sons Sean and Jayden, two kitchens, three fireplaces, and a 4-car garage. Dennis McCormack, owner of Prominent Properties Sothebys Realty, showed Britney this house. She was going to rent a house in Long Island, but she wanted to be closer to the City. Alpine is less than 20 minutes away. As you all know, Alpine is home to numerous celebrities such as Lil’ Kim and Chris Rock. Briteny was told that the residents of Alpine are used to seeing celebrities and that she won’t be bothered. I am going to Alpine next weeked, so I’ll try to take a picture of it.
