منزل في أجمل بقعة في أمريكا .. لكن مافي أيّ زبون عايز يشتريه (أعرف القصة)!

Quote: A home left abandoned Ibrahim never returned to his LA house following Al Qaeda’s terrorist attacks on 11 September 2001, and the property has remained empty ever since. The multimillion-dollar valuation is based on the value of the land alone, which is a spacious 94,037-square-foot plot, but the hastily abandoned property remains standing, for now.

Quote: Hollywood home in the hills Designed in the Mediterranean Revival style and built in 1931, this luxury property had a number of famous faces grace its gates before the bin Ladens moved in. In the 1960s, Hollywood actor Arthur Freed, who produced classics including Meet Me In St. Louis and Singin’ In the Rain, called the property home, and the following decade it was renovated by American architect to the stars John Elgin Woolf.

Quote: Rubbing shoulders with royalty Ibrahim bin Laden was born into the wealthy echelons of the bin Laden family, who had close ties to the Saudi royal family. The clan first forged their fortune in the early 20th century with the founding of a family construction site. The Binladin Group Global Holding Company still exists today, and the conglomerate is currently in the process of building the Jeddah Tower, which is set to be the largest tower in the world.

Quote: A charmed life According to later court proceedings, Ibrahim “never worked a day in his life” and he didn't expect to live up to his father’s financial legacy. It was his inherited wealth that allowed him to follow in the real estate footsteps of Hollywood royalty when he left his home in Saudi Arabia.

Quote: The bin Ladens move in Ibrahim moved to LA to attend the University of Southern California, according to Steven Coll's 2008 book The Bin Ladens: An Arabian Family in the American Century. Ibrahim bought this bubblegum pink villa-style mansion in 1983, at a cost of $1.65 million. He then met socialite Christine Hartunian while mingling with the monied elites of Beverly Hills and the pair married at the Beverly Hills Hotel in 1987. Christine then moved into her new husband's home and the couple had a daughter called Sibba in 1989.

Quote: A bustling household At one time the couple had swaths of staff to help with the upkeep of their seven-bedroom, five-bathroom Mediterranean-style villa, including full-time groundskeepers and household staff. Private security detail was also hired to add an extra layer of protection to this gated community property.

Quote: Pools and palm trees The Barbie Dreamhouse-esque property also features a built-in pool surrounded by palm trees, which remain in bizarrely good shape today despite a lack of household staff, or indeed owners, living in the property for several decades.

Quote: Picture-perfect setting This picture-perfect setting would have been ideal for Christine to pursue her numerous hobbies, which included painting, sculpting, private needlepoint lessons and classes in Arabic and English. She also purchased a Steinway piano for the Bel Air property.

Quote: سيارات لجميع الفصول احتفظ إبراهيم بمجموعة من السيارات الفاخرة في القراش المكون من خمس سيارات ، بما في ذلك سيارتا رولز رويس ومرسيدس 500 SEL وسيارة جيب لامبورغيني وهوندا ولكزس. بينما استأجرت العائلة سائقين ، استمتع إبراهيم بإخراج عجلاته بنفسه - إلا إذا كانت السماء تمطر.

Quote: Left to ruin The auto aficionado would reportedly rent a Mercedes for around $350 a day so as not to drive his precious Rolls-Royces in bad weather. Now the property’s parking spaces sit empty and overgrown with foliage, having not housed a vehicle—rented or otherwise—for years.
