Inside star’s property and fortune demise

Rock star Marilyn Manson’s once-sprawling fortune has collapsed to a fraction of its peak as mounting legal fees and allegations force a fire sale of his real estate holdings. Born Brian Warner, the musician built an estimated fortune of up to $US45m ($A68.5m) off the back of platinum 1990s shock-rock albums, sold-out tours and merchandise. With sponsors gone, record deals axed and lawsuits mounting, the 57-year-old’s estimated net worth has cratered to about $US4m ($A6.1m). That financial squeeze is playing out across California title deeds. The singer quietly offloaded his long-time Hollywood Hills compound for $US1.8m ($A2.7m) in 2021 as allegations broke, having paid $US1.1m ($A1.7m) eight years earlier. He then bought a property in Glendale, California, for $US2.2m ($A3.4m) in late 2022, only to re-list it at cost as the legal bill climbed.
