British singer Adele opened her wallet to buy Sylvester Stallone’s Los Angeles property, but only on the condition that the statue of Rocky – the actor’s legendary character – also be included in the sale of 58 million US $ (approximately C$76 million).
Adele snapped up the property in 2022 for much less than the original sale price of $110 million, according to Forbes.
In addition to this reduction, the singer of “Rolling in the Deep” also got to keep the statue of the boxer Rocky – played in several films by Sylvester Stallone – which is located near the pool.
At least that’s what the actor revealed in a recent interview with the “Wall Street Journal.”
If he was planning to leave with this statue, he had no choice but to get rid of it.
“Take it or leave it,” the singer reportedly told her. “She wanted the statue. I like what she does [avec la résidence]she makes her beautiful,” added the actor.
Adele would indeed be in the process of completely renovating the house located in Beverly Park, an exclusive district of the city of Angels which counts among others Denzel Washington, Justin Bieber and Mark Wahlberg as residents, according to TMZ.
Sylvester Stallone had purchased the property in the 1990s. He built a 21,000-square-foot Mediterranean-style mansion there, with eight bedrooms, 12 bathrooms, an office, library, gourmet kitchen, bar and dining room. of cigars.
