The opulent Nicolas Cage mansion has been foreclosed and was put up for auction, but there were no takers at the $10.4 million asking price. The luxury property was built in 1940 for $110,000. Dean Martin added a 2,500-square-foot entertainment complex with 35 theater seats in 1974. Tom Jones was also once an owner.
Located in Bel Air, Los Angeles, the two-story English brick Tudor style home went on the auction block earlier this week. Since there was no sale, Citibank will now take possession of the credit-crunched Nicolas Cage mansion in the hope that they can recover funds loaned by selling it.
