Osama Bin Laden’s brother asks $28 million for California mansion
Osama bin Laden’s brother, Ibrahim bin Laden, has listed his longtime Bel Air mansion for a whopping $28 million, The Post can confirm.
Ibrahim, who is the older half-brother of the late
terrorist, has owned the property for nearly four decades, since 1983, property
records show.
Ibrahim purchased the Mediterranean villa-style mansion for
$1,653,000 at the time — what would be roughly $5.5 million after accounting for
38 years of inflation.
But, according to the listing, he hasn’t occupied the home
since the September 11 attacks.
“Ready for redoing, owner has not been here for over 20
years,” the listing states.
Despite its abandoned state, the property’s price is based
on “land value only,” and location.
Situated in the prestigious lower Bel Air neighborhood, the
residence spans 7,100 square feet on more than 2 acres of land, and is made up
of seven bedrooms and five bathrooms.
Built in 1931, the estate, made with concrete and painted
pink, is only a few doors down from the Hotel Bel-Air.
Interior photos of the property are scarce due to its
deteriorated state. But it appears several palm trees continue to survive, and
the swimming pool and spa appear well-maintained.
Like Osama, Ibrahim was one of 56 children born to Saudi
Arabian construction tycoon Mohammed bin Awad bin Laden, who had 22 wives.
Mohammed served as the patriarch of the multibillionaire bin Laden clan — a
family with longstanding business ties to Al Saud royals.
During the ’60s, the property was owned by golden age
Hollywood producer Arthur Freed, known for the famed productions “Singin’ in
the Rain” and “The Wizard of Oz.”
