When Dr. Dre sold his Hollywood Hills, CA, mansion to hedge fund founder Alex Soltani for $32.5 million, all we could think about was the $15.4 million Dre spent to buy it in 2012. Even more mind-blowing, Soltani plans to tear down the pricey mansion to build a $100 million "trophy home" for himself. Apparently, the 300-degree knoll-top views of the city, mountains, and ocean is what really sold him on the place. Let's take one final look at the house, shall we?
