Biography & Early Wealth Journey
After the couple's divorce in 2003, Gotti became the home's sole owner, and eventually managed to find herself a new calling as a reality TV star. Unfortunately, some time after the show went off the air in 2007, things took a downhill turn for her and for the mansion itself.
In 2016, Gotti was in some hot water with the FBI, and they raided the mansion reportedly in connection with an investigation into charges of fraud. To make matters worse, she had not made a payment on the home in two years at that point and was facing foreclosure, owing the bank $650,000 on the property. She attempted to sell it several times, for as much as $4.8 million, but never found a buyer. The home ended up abandoned and ultimately sold to JP Morgan Chase, the bank that held the mortgage, in a foreclosure auction for $2.65 million.
Back in September of 2021, the BigBankz YouTube channel did a tour of the mansion, finding it almost unrecognizable from its reality TV heyday. The swimming pool was filled with algae and the landscaping was both overgrown and dying, like something out of "The Addams Family." Check it out for yourself below:
