Mary J. Blige Buys $12.3 Million Home With Cash

Grammy winner Mary J. Blige plunked down $12.3 million in cash for a Saddle River, N.J., mansion.

“She fell in love with this one,” a source said of Blige, who checked out several houses in the swanky area before settling on the 18,250-square-foot dream pad. Thanks to the sagging housing market, the best-selling singer got a relative bargain. The house originally went on the market last year for $17 million and was reduced this year to $13.9 million.

Blige, who has sold more than 40 million records, will have plenty of hip-hop stars, rappers, movie stars and pro athletes as neighbors. Rappers Ja Rule, Wyclef Jean and the Rev. Run of Run-DMC live nearby.

Even though Mary’s new crib was originally put on the market for $17 million, I think it’s craziness that someone couldn’t keep the grass green! Damn.
I love it, though! It’s exactly what a diva who has belted it out for nearly two decades deserves.
