It's hard to imagine what life was like for entertainer Michael Jackson. He was one of the most successful performers of all time, with global concert tours and 47 million copies of his best-selling album in the hands of consumers. He also owned the rights to the early Beatles catalogue, yet he somehow ended up with money problems and legal troubles. For a few years, he was on self-imposed exile in the Middle East.
When an investor brought Jackson back to Los Angeles (where Jackson once had a penthouse condo in the most exclusive building on the Wilshire Corridor), he was wooed by the idea of breathing new life into the entertainer's career, as well as a possible return to the financial wealth that comes with being one of the world's most famous people. Part of the package that got Jackson back to Los Angeles to prepare for 50 sold-out dates in London was the ability to live in a $100,000-a-month Holmby Hills estate not too far from the Playboy Mansion and tony Beverly Hills.

We have attached some photos of the house provided to HomeTheaterReview.com by the builder Mohamed Hadid and their home theater installation firm DSI Entertainment Systems. In typical Michael Jackson style, the house is completely over-the-top in its design and, believe it or not, there is a somewhat healthy market for rental properties in the six-figures-per-month range. I was told by a reliable source that Jackson's fellow superstar musician Prince was renting a $150,000-per-month property in the gated Shangri-la known as Beverly Park. So much for the rest of the country and the housing crunch.

The home theater in this amazingly high-end rental home included a Crestron control system, Marantz electronics, M&K speakers and Lutron lighting control.

11With all of his money, he was missing the most important thing in a man's life....a woman
who cares about whether he takes drugs I.V., over does plastic surgery. Had he that special
women she could have stopped his downward path and he would be alive today. I notice Jerry took his woman to a pricy resort for her birthday. I read into that, that she is very special to him
and probably the center of his life....and probably owes his sucess in business to her support.
My wife rules. The amount of BS that I dish out requires a very special woman.
Lisa Marie was quoted through all of this as saying that she saw this coming and couldn't stop it. I think she did the right thing by leaving.
Without getting too scandalous - I think its possible that Jackson was gay or maybe a-sexual and that having a partnership (note the careful choice of word) with a woman wasn't important to him.
I agree - he needed SOMEBODY to tell him "no" every once and a while.
With all the media hype over MJ's death, I really do wish they would stop focusing on how many drugs he took, how weird he was personified to be, and whether he was gay or not. Who cares!? We should all just be thankful we can say we lived in the time he was alive, and performing some of the most amazing concerts and videos of our time! The man was simply amazing in his lifetime accomplishments period! He was ahead of our time with his facinating ability to dance and sing the way he did. He truly cared about making our world a better place to live, and certainly did more than his share to contributing to our world on many different levels. Enough said.....
OK,
I have to chime in here....
Gay? Well I think so, but only for small boys, so pedo-homo-phile!
Philips is right, he was missing something! He hired a Cardiologist to do an Anesthesiologists job! Their is a reason Diprivan (Propofol) is highly limited to anesthesia providers and intubated patients, it can cause apnea, which can ultimately kill, if this is in fact what killed him (and I suspect we will never be sure) then his doctor screwed up and was practicing outside of his area of expertise, and for $150,000/month, as an anesthesiologist, he would have still been alive had I been running drips on him!
It is sad when there are so many people in this world that hold up someone like Michael Jackson as a model and/or idol. Yes, he was innovative and successful in his music yet as a person he was a very disturbed individual who rejected his blackness, his horrible excess and his pedophilia nature. Not someone we should want our children to view as a model. Unfortunately in our current society, the media sees this as a huge deal and adds to the insanity in their excessive coverage. There was over 30 hours of coverage in his memorial yet only 30-40 seconds given by the liberal networks to our brave soldiers who died that day in Iraq and Afghanistan
AMEN. I was much more interested in news on the Iranian people who are having their election stolen than yet more MJ news.
Innocent until proven guilty/thats the laws in USA/ GOSSIP ACTUALLY HAS THE POWER TO DESTROY A PERSON/ IF A PERSON CAN BE SHOT AT FOR 56,000 DOLLARS - I CAN BELIEVE SOMEONE CAN LIE FOR 20 MILLION
You don't need all that crap. It's misguided. Turn out the lights and my home theatre is as good as Michael's. Turn on the lights and the ambiance is merely different. No one lives to a higher standard than I do; some poor twits just think they do.
Nabi,
I guarantee you that your theater is better.
Intergra and whatever.... Yours is better. It just is.
This theater is NICELY installed with KILLER programming
I saw Michael Jackson and the Jackson Five in concert 1978. Michael Jackson was incredible. Money can't buy you love or happiness. Of all the accusations, he was the best entertainer ever. God bless his soul.
i don't want to be jelous,mj is the best
