Look: Kanye and Kim Kardashian-West Purchase Former Home of Lisa Marie Presley For $22 Million

Before they got hitched, Kanye and Kim were building their dream home. But then the couple decided to sell the place without spending one night in it and went off to get married. Now they've finally settled on new home which set them back a cool $22 million. The home was formerly owned by Lisa Marie Presley, daughter of Elvis and former wife of Michael Jackson.

The master bathrooms — one for each of them — have steam showers and saunas and a private patio with a spa. There are 8 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms, some of them in the separate guesthouse. There’s also a sprawling kitchen with not one but three islands.

#Hamptons Snobs Are Tired of Other Hamptons Snobs Flying Helicopters Over Their Neighborhoods During Summer

Some people will tell you that many of the folks living out in the Hamptons on New York's Long Island can come over a bit like entitled snobs. But they aren't alone, because the seasonal folks, you know the ones that only summer in the Hamptons, can also come over entitled and snobbish. A war is now brewing between the two sets over the path helicopters carrying the seasonal folks take during the summer. Residents have grown tired of the noise over their neighborhood during the summer and is taking it up with town officials to put the noisy air ships on a new path, perhaps over another neighborhood?

“. . . The bottom line is that, unless local officials hear from the residents of Northwest Woods, North Haven, and Shelter Island, and hear from them quickly and in significant numbers, it is very possible that politics will prevail and invasive helicopter noise will return to our neighborhoods this summer,” the letter says. “If we remain silent, a small majority may have their way with politicians and deprive us of the peaceful enjoyment of our homes this coming summer.”

    “We very much regret that some in our area have chosen to distract us from the vital discussion about flight restrictions with shamelessly selfish not-­­in-my-back-yard provocations,” Mr. Matthews wrote in his e-mail. While the Northwest Alliance supports “methodical development of environmentally responsible and socially equitable routing patterns,” Mr. Matthews wrote, “this is no substitute for a serious effort to reduce aircraft traffic in our community as soon as possible.

Billionaire Yacht Wars Continue

Billionaires have a different set of worries than the rest of us. Their worries include things like: How they can keep most if not all of their money from governments, what position they land in on the Forbes' billionaires list, which city or country to fly to on their private planes for dinner and how much it will cost to build the biggest yacht in the world. OK so not all billionaires are shallow and we're not implying the ones mentioned here are. But the war of the Yachts continue and seems to be gaining more fuel each year. Paul Allen, co-founder of Microsoft once held the title for the biggest yacht in the world thanks to the "Octopus", his mega yacht with two helicopter landing pads, submarine and recording studio just to name a few features on the vessel. Then Russian money bags Roman Abramovich, whose other toys we featured here on Stun in the past stole the title with the roll out of his mega yacht called "Eclipse" which is clearly a jab at Paul Allen. But poor Roman didn't enjoy the title as long as his predecessor. Thanks to  Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Nahyan, President of the UAE, Abramovich's "Eclipse" lost the title to "Azzam" a new 590 foot mega yacht that reportedly cost a mind blowing $627.4 million to build. Ahh the lives of the super rich!

STUNNED BY DRE
Who says the music industry doesn't pay? Legendary music mogul and current ruler of Warner Music Group Lyor Cohen has made tons of cash off of the talents of some of hip hop's biggest names. He also cashed out when partner Russell Simmons sold Phat Farm some years ago and he also gets a phat check every time the Def Jam name and/or logo is used. He is easily worth north of $100 million dollars but is as modest in appearance as they come. However, behind the scenes Mr. Cohen lives the life of a king, after all he is one of the music industry's wealthiest people. After a tough day of contract negotiations, visits to recording sessions, video shoots and overseeing the day to day operations of the third biggest music group in the world, Lyor Cohen retreats to his $26 million Manhattan apartment, where he kicks it back with a glass of wine and a cigar no doubt. Take a look inside the house Def Jam built/paid for.

Brooklyn is the new Manhattan. Ask anyone who is on a waiting list desperately seeking a Broolyn address.
