Amid Reports of Tax Drama, Mary J. Blige Slashes Price on Jersey Mansion

Mary J. Blige has had a tough time trying to sell her mansion in Saddle River, NJ. The singer has cut the price again, this time to $6.8 million, which is about half what she was asking when she first listed the home.

The queen of hip-hop soul is now a motivated seller. Reports have emerged that the “No More Drama” singer owes $1 million in back taxes as well as other unpaid bills that she says were racked up by her estranged husband, Kendu Isaacs, whom she has called a “con artist.”

Sitting on more than 4 gated, manicured acres, the stone and stucco residence resembles a French country manor. There are 18,250 square feet of living space, including large reception rooms for entertaining, a custom bar, a gourmet kitchen with double islands and custom cabinets, and an elevator.

The main house has eight bedrooms, and more than 10 bathrooms, including a jaw-dropping main bedroom suite. For entertainment, there’s a movie theater, a wine room, fitness center, and an indoor basketball court.

Outdoors, the property features a large pool, full-service cabana, and a six-car garage.

The influential diva had the mansion on the market in late 2015 for $13 million. Four years later, Blige has reduced her price by 48% in hopes of enticing a buyer.

Even though she’s reported to be in a little financial difficulty, Blige is still producing hits, including her most recent single “Know.” She’s currently on the “Royalty Tour” with the legendary rapper Nas.
