Michael Jackson's Final Home On The Market

The Los Angeles-area mansion where Michael Jackson enjoyed his final days is up for sale. TMZ.com is reporting that its owner Hubert Guez -- CEO of the Ed Hardy designer clothing line -- put the home on the market Monday for slightly less than 29-million dollars. Guez originally tried selling the property in 2008 for 38-million dollars, but when the home didn't sell he agreed to rent it to Jackson while he prepared for his "This Is It" tour. According to RealEstalker.com, Guez recently tried to rent the home for 300-thousand dollars a month. Sources close to the property tell TMZ that several Michael Jackson fans have expressed an interest in the estate, but all potential buyers are being required to go through an "extensive pre-qualifying check" before they are even allowed in the house. Hubert Guez' home is reportedly more than 17-thousand square feet, and features seven bedrooms, a seven-car garage, and 13 bathrooms.

Michael Jackson suffered cardiac arrest and died while living at the Guez mansion on June 25, 2009. It was later discovered that the King of Pop had lethal amounts of the sedative Propofol in his system. His physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, has admitted to providing the drug to Jackson. He has been charged with involuntary manslaughter in connection to Jackson's death.
