Former Carey mansion burns
Firefighters are blaming faulty wiring for a fire that burned down Mariah Carey's former dream house on Saturday. No one was in the $20.5 million mansion at the time.
It had nine bedrooms, seven fireplaces, two swimming pools and a recording studio on 56 acres. The house was designed and built for the singer and her husband, Sony Music executive Tommy Mottola, in the mid-1990s.
Carey and Mottola sold the mansion after their divorce in 1998. It was bought by Nelson Peltz, chairman of Triarc Cos., which runs Arby's, Royal Crown Cola and Snapple. (CNN)
