In 1990, America was introduced to the Walsh family and the rough and tumble life style associated with living in prestigious Beverly Hills, California. Television drama Beverly Hills, 90210 became a huge success, running for ten seasons and converting a bunch of then known actors into household names and helped the cast and crew earn enough money to finance the purchase of some real life luxury properties around town.
While the show kicked off a number of spin-offs, the leader of the 90210 franchise is still a fan favorite to which no other show will ever compare. Die-hard fans that have saved up enough cash for a sizable down payment and have the credit scores needed to qualify for the best rates on jumbo mortgages, can finance the purchase of luxury homes with direct connections to the series.
Donna Martin's Beach House For Sale
The series kicked off focusing on the exploits, trials and tribulations of newly relocated Minnesota twins Brandon and Brenda Walsh. The kids enrolled in the fictitious West Beverly High School and over time the cast members "graduated" and started attending the equally fake California University. While Brenda (actress Shannen Doherty) left the series by that point, original characters Donna Martin (played by Tori Spelling) and Kelly Taylor (actress) Jennie Garth remained BFFs and moved off campus into a gorgeous beach house. The actual house used for exterior and establishing shots, is listed on the local multiple listing service as the property is for sale.
The Hermosa Beach, California single family detached home is considered prime real estate as the Pacific Ocean is just steps away from the front door. Buyers of the 2,868 square feet Cape Cod-style home will get 135 square feet of water frontage, three separate and complete living areas, yard space and private decks. The house was originally constructed in 1915 and has since been fully renovated. The asking price is a hearty $8,999,000.
Tori Spelling Selling Encino Villa
Actress Tori Spelling has played a larger assortment of roles, but she will forever be linked as playing Donna Martin. In the TV show, Donna Martin was raised in ritzy Beverly Hills and was the child of a socialite. Her character struggled with dyslexia, poor fashion choices (remember that hoop dress she wore) and slews of complicated relationships.
In real life. Tori Spelling is the daughter of famed 90210 producer Aaron Spelling and his widow, Candy Spelling. She has successfully left Donna behind and is now a wife, mother, best selling author, reality TV star and furniture retail shop owner. Spelling and her husband Dean McDermott just listed their Encino, California villa for an asking price of $3.119 million. The 6,718-square-foot McMansion was constructed in 2001, and the couple bought the home in 2008. The property includes hardwood flooring, six bedrooms, 6.5 baths, a sprawling swimming pool and other amenities associated with the stinkin' rich.
Aaron Spellings "Manor" For Sale
The Beverly Hills gang would never have existed if it were not for executive producer Aaron Spelling. Spelling racked up 218 producer and executive producer credits during his life span. His success allowed him to finance the purchase of a luxury property called "The Manor." His widow, Candy, will tell anyone who listens that Aaron did not believe in mortgages and the house was financed solely with cash. Spelling died in 2006 and despite his mortality, Forbes ranked him the 11th top-earning dead celebrity in 2009. After his demise, Candy listed the property for sale and it should come as no shock that the Manor is the most expensive home ever.
The house has been for sale for the past few years, but no contenders have offered up the money to pay the whopping $150,000,000 price tag. The person who does come up with the finances to buy the home, will get to call the 56,500 square feet house complete with 4.6 acres, 123 rooms, a 100 car parking lot, tennis court, swimming pool, screening room, bowling alley and ice skating rink home.
