AFP: Zsa Zsa Gabor sells house 'because we're not rich': "Ailing actress Zsa Zsa Gabor and her husband have put their Bel Air mansion up for sale because they can no longer afford the mortgage and her medical bills, he said Tuesday.
The house is on offer for 28 million dollars, Prinz Frederic von Anhalt said, showing reporters around the 28-room, 12,000-square-foot mansion in a plush area surrounded by homes to the rich and famous.
'I am sick and tired of hiding behind those three words, 'rich and famous,' he said. 'Maybe we are famous, but we are not rich.'
Gabor's medical care costs about $21,000 a month, and the mortgage and upkeep on the house take another $35,000. 'We are talking about $56,000 I have to raise every month,' he said.
'This is why I have to sell the house. It is a must.'
The one condition for the buyer was that the ageing pair be allowed to remain in the house. 'The new owner has to pay for everything,' he said, voicing confidence that someone would offer to buy.
'Everybody is filthy rich around us, and so somebody is going to (want) the house,' he said.
The couple decided to sell after the 93-year-old actress had most of her right leg amputated earlier this month, due to an infection that doctors determined would have killed her had it not been treated."
