The first of two Los Angeles mansions that have been or are owned by Mike Tyson, this massive home, located in a town called Paradise Valley, was sold for $2.1 Million Dollars.

The Tigers, which are thought to have cost around $70,000 dollars each, are thought to have cost Tyson up to $60,000 dollars to feet due to their size and the amount of food consumed.
