The Super Bowl Halftime Show performer suffered a major loss once it finally sold – almost $7million! Mary originally purchased the 25-room property back in 2008 for a whopping $12.3million but received just $5.5m after trying to sell it at various prices over the years.
In 2015, the singer set an asking price of $13million, before dropping it down to $6.8million in 2019. Let's take a look inside…
