Candy Spelling's house in LA
Free publicity for “The Most Expensive House in America” Today, it’s Candy Spelling (widow of Aaron) who’s on top at $150 million. Some years ago, it was David Ogilvy’s listing of the Helmsley place for $125,000,000. That price is now down to $55 million and doubtless headed lower, but there’s nothing wrong with grabbing the attention of the main stream media.
But all that attention hasn’t sold Helmsley’s place and I doubt it will work for Spelling. Good press for the listing brokers, though.
For What It's Worth 
I can’t tell by the photo Chris – Is it bigger then Stevie Cohen’s Greenwich spread? How may staff do think they need to maintain it?
It’s worth clicking on the link and taking the virtual tour of the house – it’s a bunch of curiously grainy photos showing cavernous spaces decorated in the tackiest possible 1980s beige and rose-gold. Looks and probably feels just like the hotel in the Shining (which was on TV the other night). I can picture those creepy twin girls in the bowling alley as a river of blood washes down the lanes. Candy Spelling even looks a bit like an older, blond Shelley Duvall.

Do you mean David Ogilvy would stoop that low?
The Spelling place is a tear-down if I ever saw one. Even a Saudi Prince would reject the decor,
