I’ve heard the tail end of a story on E! and CNN about some “Hollywood legend” who gave his $8 million home of 37 years away as a wedding gift. Both times I missed who it was. Has anybody else heard this? If so, who was it? (One of those “not gonna change my world” things, but I’m just curious, and as of this post it’s not on cnn.com or eonline.com.)
According to this it was David Bowie.
From the above link:
Shoot, what was I thinking??!?!?! 2 million pounds != $8 million. Sigh that’s what I get for trying. Sorry, maybe you’ll have better luck with Google. I just looked at the first celebrity giving a house as a wedding present.
Don’t fret, Dignan, it’s still a pretty penny there.
On the other hand, he MARRIED her, so it’s HIS house, too… not exactly a gift, but a nice retreat.
