I wonder if the Gold is real?

This image shows the exterior of Mike Tyson’s abandoned mansion. The iron gates inscribed with his name may now be shut, but photographer Johnny Joo was allowed inside to explore the property. It features five bedrooms, several living spaces, seven-and-a-half bathrooms, a full kitchen, a mini-kitchen/washroom, two attached garages, one external garage, a full-size pool and Jacuzzi, tiger cages and a basketball court.

I like that sunken tub overlooking the grounds. Weird paint job in some rooms and looks like some vandalism. Overall, not my type of house!

Even if you imagined light and furniture, it's still cold and removed. It isn't warm and family like at all. If it was given to me as a gift, I'd sell it

Evander's mansion sat empty for a few years too. Someone finally bought it last year.

I used to live near there. Kids have been breaking in for years.

Why did he abandon it. I mean other than the horrible taste in decor and marble.

Looks like a tear down to me.

It's going to be converted to a church.

Classic example of money can't buy taste. There's a reason rags to riches people are encouraged to follow suit and hire professional decorators that aren't family or friends.
