M.C. Hammer's House (Former)

This was the mansion that rapper M.C. Hammer owned in the early 90s when he blew his $70 Million fortune. He bought this Fremont mansion for $12 Million and spent another $30 Million on renovations which included gold plated front gates emblazoned with his "Hammer Time" catch phrase, a bowling alley, basket ball court, baseball triangle, recording studio, 17-car garage, tennis courts and two swimming pools. One of the pools was famously shaped in the outline of his famous baggy trousers. He adorned the property with marble statues of himself and installed a gold hot tub and a pop-up TV console in the bedroom. Hammer filed for bankruptcy in April 1996 and was forced to sell the house for $6.5 Million, $5.5 Million less than he originally paid for it.
