Celebrity homes rile up the housing market with big names and even bigger price tags.
Once a celebrity-owned house hits the market, it is usually sold quickly. However, sometimes these lavish homes are never sold. Whether because of tragedy, death, or controversy, some homes are just left completely abandoned.
Find out what happened to these abandoned mansions that were once owned by Hollywood stars.

P. Diddy's abandoned mansion went viral after a video exploring the grounds circulated around the internet.
@bigexplorez – an Instagram account dedicated to curating Broken America, stated about the mansion:
| "It was purchased by Diddy in 2003 and he sold it to developers in 2007 and they had plans to demolish the house and build 11 homes on the land but the city didn't let them. It has 7 bedrooms and 13 baths I believe including the pool house. It has a 5 car garage with an apartment on top of it and a tennis court." |

The Hook End Manor, a sprawling, 11-bedroom mansion once owned by Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour became vacant after a tragedy, sits on 25 acres of land in South Oxfordshire, UK.
| Gilmour sold the manor to West Side Productions and it was taken over by record producer Trevor Horn in the '90s. Horn put the home on the market after his wife was accidentally shot by her son with an air rifle at the home. She survived but spent more than three years in a coma and retained brain damage, rendering her unable to move or speak. She died in 2014 of cancer. |

Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch finally sold for $22 million in 2020 after languishing on the market for years.
| The house saw millions of dollars worth of renovations and rebranding. The property, dubbed Sycamore Valley Ranch, was put on the market in 2015 for $100 million after Jackson's death in 2009. It was then discounted to $67 million two years later and then listed once again for $31 million in 2019. |
