Peek Inside Dr. Dre's Longtime LA Manor

Dr. Dre's Los Angeles mansion features a 250-gallon fish tank in the living room and a movie theater room that might be best described as a “red room” (You'll understand what we mean when you see it). Dre bought the property in 1999, around the same time that he was releasing his second studio album, “2001.” At the time, Dre's most profitable business ventures were still ahead of him. He’s since acquired at least one much larger property in the Los Angeles area. However, he held on to this one until 2019, when he put it on the market for roughly $5 million.
