Forget about a special parking garage or premium private slot and picture this: You survive South Florida rush hour and arrive home to your Sunny Isles condo. You pull into a designated space and turn off the engine. You are then free to take in the Oceanfront view as you are taken directly to your door. This is similar to the house with car storage in the living room, like a centerpiece!

Moneybags Beyoncé Knowles recently took a hit in the luxury real estate realm, unloading her beachside pied-à-terre for about 75% less than she paid for it! Yes, even celebrities fall victim to a challenging market, like Chris Tucker’s Florida mansion losses recently! That is right, Tucker lost out on two upscale properties, follow above link for full story.
Maybe I am a bit out of the loop here, but I did not realize Chris Tucker was broke! TMZ reported that the star has shed 2 Florida mansions for far less than the amount he acquired them. And I mean far!
One property is an 8,861 square-foot waterfront Lake County home that Tucker unloaded via short sale for $2 million. Considering he paid $6 million for it and is rumored to owe $11.5 million in back taxes, that is a loss that would be more difficult to swallow than a round of Russo Baltique vodka ($1 million per bottle).

Chris Tucker was here!
Jerry Rice is asking that the people backed out of buying his $11 million dollar mansion pony up the $330,000 owed to him in accordance with contract terms. The contract stated that should the buyers back out, as they did at the last minute, they forfeit the $33,000 USD. Estates and spaces of this caliber come with stipulations to prevent the waste of precious commodities...like Jerry's time! See photos of mansion at bottom of post!

Would you like to live in the Playboy Mansion? Well, you can! Okay, okay it won’t be in the current mansion located in Los Angeles, but you can buy a unit in the original Playboy Mansion here in Chicago.
Attention movie buffs, the LA bungalow used in the film ‘The Big Lebowski’ is now available to own! Yes, the Dude’s house has hit the market, I assume sans rug. The Dude must have encountered some financial trouble! That or he has moved on to bigger and better things, and will roll by in his Rolls Royce rental on occaision for old times sake.

For those of you who grew up watching the original “90210” series (you know how cool you are, I needn’t lavish you with praise), the late Aaron Spelling’s Los Angeles mansion has sold for an amazing $85 million dollars! If his home was that mammoth, can you imagine his celebrity luxury car collection?

The hottie ex-wife of the formerly-flawless Tiger Woods, Elin Nordegren, has invested in a substantial $12 million dollar North Palm Beach tiger den. Just ten miles from Tiger’s new home, the 17,178 square-foot (plus a 4,700 sq-ft basement!) waterfront home is a stunner…sort of like Tiger’s high-profile personal life!
Elin’s sprawling estate is roughly twice the size of Tiger’s new 9,700 square foot dwelling, located just down the street from in Jupiter Island, though Tiger's pad reportedly set him back a cool $54.5 million.

Do you need new a home? Are you looking to buy in the Chicagoland area? Well you’re in luck. There are many high-end properties on the market. Here are the top 5 most expensive real estate listings on the market right now.
1. Le Grande Reve, Winnetka

Currently, Le Grande is the highest real estate listing and is the most expensive listing in Chicagoland’s history. For $28 million, you can buy this 6-bedrooms, 8-bathroom, 27,000 square foot mansion that features a two-story, Tiffany-dome rotunda.

As the premier source for luxury living, we at Imagine Lifestyles Luxury Rentals are accustomed to the obscenely expensive, but some things even make our jaws drop and our bank accounts sweat. Like the fact that a Manhattan parking spot costs about the same as a brand new Ferrari, Lamborghini, or other member of our fleet of New York exotic rental cars! Yes, that is just for a parking spot, luxury car not included.

Ok, so the statement that the $60 million dollar Miami mansion is too expensive for LeBron James is a rumor, but the price tag is quite factual (and LeBron is doing alright for himself in Miami). Listed by The Jills, this Miami luxury property is the highest priced property ever listed in Miami-Dade County, and even the Lady herself would go Gaga over the spread! Let’s just hope she does not end up in her egg on the manicured front lawn...I feel that one of our exotic rental cars Miami style would be more appropriate out front.
The economic downturn, recession, whatever term you choose to use, has certainly taken its toll on the masses-even the wealthy. In an interesting twist, desperate individuals are renting out rooms in their mansions, some for as low as $600 per month! Luxury property rentals and mansion rentals at that price are unheard of, until now! Imagine hypercars and exotic rental cars available for what seems like pennies!

The trend of renting out rooms in luxury properties and mansions is sweeping across America, as the property owners struggle to keep the banks at bay, essentially transforming their luxe pads into little more than boarding houses or hostels. How does this phenomenon operate?
Chicago To Get Another Luxury Hotel
330 N. Wabash will soon be home to another luxury hotel in downtown Chicago. Langham Hotels and Resorts has partnered with Oxford Capital Group to purchase the new property. The hotel is expected to have a final price tag of around $100 million. The building had been empty since 2006 and used to house IBM’s Midwest operations. The new hotel will occupy about 40 floors of the building and is set to open in 2012. I am sure you will see some Chicago exotic car rentals parked out front of this uber luxury hotel.
The building is one of the city’s most architecturally significant buildings due to the fact that famous architect, Mies van der Rohe, originally designed it. Located right next to the newly built Trump Tower, the hotel will have plenty of competition when it opens its’ doors. It will feature 330 rooms and suites, which will be some of the largest hotel rooms offered in the city of Chicago.

The Bawadi mall, part of the Bawadi project in Dubailand, Dubai, will be the world’s most expensive shopping mall if completed. So what is the hold up? I wonder if investors are sweating puddles in their luxury cars and exotic rental cars waiting for the verdict.
Designed to dazzle as the ultimate luxury property possession, Dubai Islands ‘The World’ are gradually sinking back into the sea, according to some. This is not stellar news to the many who have sunk considerable collateral into the fantasy world. Yes, shockingly, evidence has been presented to a property tribunal that the man-made islands fashioned like the countries of the world are surrendering the sea, due to deterioration and erosion.
