A real estate listing shows the 22,000-square-foot mansion in Olympia Fields with a $1.595 million price tag. It's a short sale, meaning Kelly owes more on the house than it's worth. Kelly custom-built the 16-room gated mansion in 1997. The house includes eight full bathrooms, four Fireplaces, an indoor pool, sauna and theater room. There's also a private lake. Over the summer the house was the subject of a $2.9 million foreclosure lawsuit because Kelly reportedly failed to make monthly mortgage payments for more than a year. Kelly's spokesman, Allan Mayer, says the singer hasn't lived in the home for more than a year.
