Known as the “billionaire divorcee”, Suzanne Saperstein has been out of the public spotlight for a while. Now, almost three years after putting her $ 125 million Fleur de Lys estate on the market, rumors are that it might just be sold. If the rumors turn out to be true, Suzanne Saperstein may not need to look into a $ 125 million mortgage loan modification.
Has Suzanne Saperstein’s home finally been sold?
Suzanne Saperstein’s estate has been on the market for the last three years. Unlike many other multi-million dollar homes, though, Suzanne Saperstein refused to slash the price on her 12 bedroom, 15 bathroom, 35,000-square-foot palace. Now the rumor mills are buzzing that Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon may have put a bid in on the home. On five acres of property, Fleur de Lys includes a screening room, multiple kitchens, ballroom, and fully stocked first-edition library. If Mariah Carey pays full price and gets a good interest rate, that’s just a mere $709,000 a month in mortgage payments for 30 years.
Suzanne Saperstein’s high-profile divorce
Suzanne Saperstein has been known for more than just the sale of her multi-million dollar home. David Saperstein, an oil billionaire, was married to Suzanne Saperstein for years. After three kids and many years of marriage, Suzanne was served with divorce papers during a layover on the company jet. Her husband divorced her so he could be with the nanny. This incredibly high-profile divorce was one of the most expensive in L.A. history.
Suzanne Saperstein the rogue socialite?
Rather than living on her husband’s name, though, the Swedish former model has taken the money to “explore new things.” She has taken up competitive Latin dancing, started a clothing line for equestrians, helped her daughters start a drunk-driving awareness fashion line and more. She is also spending quite a bit of money on starting a gender-neutral ballroom facility- where same gender and opposite gender couples are equally welcomed. Suzanne is making a name for herself as a rich socialite that is quietly making big changes.
