He's amassed an estimated net worth of almost £469million ($600million), so it's little surprise that Simon Fuller has an incredible property portfolio. However, the Spice Girls manager, who also launched the global 'Idol' TV franchise, has decided to sell his seven-bedroom Bel-Air mansion just six years after he bought it.
Simon and his wife, interior designer Natalie Swanston, bought the 11,200-square-foot home for £18.7million ($24million) in 2014, and have since carried out extensive renovation work, helping it to sell at £21.9million ($28million) – an impressive profit for the pair.
