Steve Harvey and his wife Marjorie have made headlines with their recent purchase of Tyler Perry’s impressive Buckhead property in Atlanta, Georgia, for $15 million. This acquisition follows a remarkable journey for both entertainers, who once faced homelessness and lived in their cars before achieving great success.
Property Details:
Size and Features: The mansion spans 35,000 square feet and boasts seven bedrooms and 9.5 bathrooms. It is set on 17 acres of meticulously maintained grounds, featuring trimmed gardens, a 70,000-gallon infinity pool, and a lit tennis court.
Luxury Amenities: The estate includes a fully stocked gym, a separate spa, a guesthouse, a guardhouse, and a detached caretaker’s suite. A sophisticated security system ensures safety throughout the property.
Entertainment Options: Inside the main mansion, you’ll find a theater, an indoor pool, a wine cellar, and an underground ballroom complete with a catering kitchen, all designed in a French Provincial style.
