The estate once home to “American Idol” creator Simon Fuller hit the market this week, asking a hefty $20 million. The Beverly Hills compound, featuring a few upgrades and renovations, spans 8,000 square feet spread across three stories. In addition to five bedrooms, a billiards room, screening room, gym, sports court and swimming pool can be found onsite. Fuller sold the property for $14.6 million in 2016, the Los Angeles Times reported. Vangelis Korasidis of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage holds the listing.

“Hero” singer Mariah Carey is paying $35,000 a month to rent a star-studded mansion in the Coldwater Canyon neighborhood in Beverly Hills. The pop singer — now sleeping where Nicki Minaj once resided — is laying out big bucks for the roughly 10,000-square-foot pad, stacked with eight bedrooms and nearly eight bathrooms. It includes a swimming pool, expansive backyard and spa, Variety reported. To make matters more glitzy, the Mediterranean-style manse is owned by a Saudi royal. Tomer Fridman of Compass represented Carey.
