Eminem (childhood house): Warren, MI
Marshall Bruce Mathers III, the 35 year old hip hop artist better known as Eminem, or Slim Shady is a Grammy and Oscar award winner and multi millionaire. Discovered by Dr. Dre and later signed to Aftermath Entertainment, Eminem is known for his energy, and lyrical skill. Despite the negative attention garnered by many of his critics, Eminem has gone on to sell millions upon millions of albums and has collected a very loyal following. Aside from his numerous large properties, Eminem has gotten press over the years for the sale of houses he lived in during his childhood and adolescence. One property in particular, a small home he shared with relatives in Detroit, was listed on eBay in an attempt to make a significant profit. The property was bought by two Detroit lawyers from Marshall Mathers' uncle, who needed the money for financial troubles. While the house was only worth slightly more than $45,000, the lawyer duo purchased the property for $120,000, expecting the actual price of the property to be quite high due to its former residence. The house was listed on eBay and attracted a great deal of attention on account of a number of outlandishly high bids (upwards of 20 million dollars). While these bids were later found to be fraudulent, the sellers were unable to attract legitimate bids higher than $75,000, which were not accepted.
