From Crooning to Crazy Cash: Bing Crosby's Mansion Drops a $40M Record-Breaking Bombshell 🏡💸

Hollywood sign!

Hold onto your avocado toast, Bay Area real estate gawkers! 🤯

Remember Bing Crosby, that golden-voiced crooner your grandparents swooned over? His Hillsborough mansion is about to make Silicon Valley real estate history with a jaw-dropping $40 million price tag. Talk about a glow-up from its original 1965 purchase price of just $175,000! 💰

Old Hollywood Meets New Money

This isn’t just any McMansion. We’re talking a 14,000-square-foot French chateau-style dream pad that screams “I was a mid-century pop culture icon”. Purchased by Crosby himself, the property has more stories than your favorite podcast. Highlights include a piano from the classic film “High Society” and a backdrop for vintage Minute Maid commercials. Retro goals, anyone? 🍊

Breaking Elon’s Record

If this bad boy sells at asking price, it’ll dethrone Elon Musk’s previous Hillsborough sales record of $32 million. Move over, tech billionaires - Hollywood royalty is making a comeback! 🌟

The estate, originally designed by architects who worked on San Francisco City Hall, is basically a time capsule of mid-20th century glamour. With 11 bedrooms and five acres, it’s giving major “cribs before MTV” energy.

So, who’s ready to drop some serious cash and live out their vintage Hollywood dreams? 🎬✨
