Description:
Marilyn Monroe's former LA home declared historic monument. The decision was made unanimously by the Los Angeles City Council in order to preserve the home from demolition. It is reported that the current homeowners have been pushing to raze the house in an effort to expand their estate next door and lessen tourist traffic in the neighborhood. The 2,900-square-foot estate was purchased by Monroe in 1962 for $75,000, where she then died only six months later. The home was last purchased by the current owners in 2023 for $8.35 million. Court documents reveal Michael Jackson was more than $500 million in debt at the time of his passing. Jackson passed away on June 25, 2009 shortly before he was set to debut his 'This Is It' world tour. Following his death, the Jackson estate was held liable for $40 million owed to the tour promoter AEG. Other debts held at the time of his passing included those of active lawsuits, many of which have since been settled or disposed of. It has been reported that more than 65 creditors' claims had been filed at the time of his passing.
