Everything occurred because of Robin Leach. When Tyrese Gibson was a child in the Watts neighborhood of Los Angeles, he could not fathom the existence of extraordinary affluence. The five-time Grammy-nominated vocalist and star of The Fast and the Furious film franchise recalls, “I grew up in poverty, with all forms of public assistance, while my mother worked multiple jobs and raised four children on her own.” That is, until that child became a -fan of the Australian personality’s television show, Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous. “My first thought was, I can’t believe people actually own Rolls-Royces and castles!” he exclaims with a chuckle. “However, by the end of the series, I had the audacity to believe it was possible to obtain these things and break the cycle of poverty.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now This 1980s and 1990s classic could have easily included Gibson’s circa-2000 French Chateau-style residence. With approximately 25,000 square feet, seven bedrooms, and two 16-foot-tall statues of Transformers, the residence of this Hollywood triple exudes a tasteful majesty that is more inviting than opulent. As a prominent entertainer, Gibson intended for every room to be open to friends and guests who wouldn’t be afraid to lounge on a leather chair or create music with the golden microphone in his home studio. “I guests to feel the regal energy, the regal vibe,” says the actor behind the character Roman Pearce in the ninth installment of the popular car-racing film franchise. However, it is very habitable. No one enters my home and I say, “I’m sorry, but you cannot sit here.”
