Megastar Sharon Cuneta is selling her megamansion in Calabasas, CA.
The popular Filipino singer, actor, spokesmodel, and TV personality also dabbles in real estate: Her Southern California home is on the market for $2.2 million.
Cuneta may have had a change of heart on the property over the past year. In 2014, she posted photos of the six-bedroom home on Facebook, calling it, “Home. Thousands of miles away. Our ‘happy place,’” adding a smiley face emoticon.

There’s plenty to smile about with this property built in 1997: The 6,610-square-foot estate hits a high note with a grand marble entry, custom library, chef’s kitchen with a breakfast room, formal living room with fireplace, family room, and numerous bedrooms.

Entertainment options abound. Step outside to an expansive lawn, relax under a covered patio, cook up a meal on the grill, or take a dip in the pool and spa, which include a waterfall.

And the singer had a connection to the area. She performed to a sold-out crowd in Los Angeles in 2005 and had spoken of someday retiring in the U.S.
But someday is not today, at least not for this Calabasas mansion. Despite the perks of California living, maybe for the 49-year-old, home is still in the Philippines.
Concert $2.2 million into Philippines peso that would be like close to 1 billion pesos. Wow! Is that how rich she is? Yet they're very humble.
ReplyDeleteAround 110 million pesos lang po.
Delete*convert
DeleteMore or less 100 million lang baks
DeleteMultiply mo ang 2.2 ng 48 yun po ang halaga. Malaya pa po sa bilyon :)
DeleteShe is Sharon Cuneta, born with 2 silverspoons in her mouth :)
DeleteSobra ka naman. 100 million lang naman pero malaki pa rin.
DeleteAround 99 million lang pag iconvert madam :)
DeleteWala namang 1 billion pesos, nasa 46 pesos and $1 so nasa 103 something million pesos ung equivalent
DeleteNearly 100 million not billion
DeleteOa ka teh. Close to 100 million pesos lng pg na convert..
DeleteHa? Dunong ka ba sa Math Kuya kahit x 50 mo pa yan P110m lang ang product panong close to a billion yan?
DeleteExaggerated ka naman. 2.2m is over 100M pesos and not a billion pesos.
Delete127,963.682 usd beks. Yaman pa din!
DeleteNo more migration?
DeleteHindi naman 1billion nasa 100+million sya. Anyway, yayamanin padin haha
DeleteOa naman ng math mo. Ano ba exchange rate mo? Mga close to 100M lang uy. Nevertheless, di ko pa rin afford hahaha
Deleteisa ka pa..1 bilyon ka dyan
DeleteThats about 100 million. Buy a calculator iho.
DeleteOkay ka lang? 900M pesos ang agwat ng 2.2M * 45 = Php100M sa Php 1 Billion
Deleteanung pinagsasabe netong 1billion? magconvert ka ng maayos!
DeleteYou are bad at Math.
DeleteReview your math, please.
Delete$2.2 million is Php99 million.
DeleteNot close enough. Compute ka ulit.
DeleteNakalimutan nyo na ata tf nya when she moved to 5
DeleteOA mo naman makabillion baks.
DeleteBillion talaga teh? Saan na ang math mo
DeletePhp 100M+
DeleteDo your math again.
Deletesobra ka naman. $2.2 million USD is only about 103 million converted to Philippine pesos. hahaha hindi 1 billion pesos.
DeleteHindi naman billion... San ka ba nagko convert ng $$ at dyan akp magpapalit lol
DeleteWrong. Please do your math again.
Deletex45 lang so it's under 100M pesos!
Delete2.2M x 48 is only 105.6M which is very far from 1 Billion! She needs 894.4M more to make it to a billion.
DeleteNalula naman ako sa math mo....Billion agad ang computation. Bagong math ba yan?
DeleteCheck your math. 1 billion talaga? But yes, they are super rich!
DeleteHindi ba over P100 million lang? P47 something lang ata palitan sa dolyar ngayon, hindi P470 --ambilis naman ng depreciation ng peso nyan. Anyway, mas ok pa ibenta if mapunta lang sa pagbayad sa property tax ang pera if non-earning asset naman yung mansion. Marami rin kaseng na-auction na house sa US dahil sa non-payment of tax. Mahal kasi masyado.
Delete12:19 simple math lang yan sablay ka pa 'teh!
DeleteShe bought it for 2m in 2010. She's not going to make any money with 2.2m, 132k max ang commission. With the upkeep and property taxes for the 5 years, she's actually losing money. Not a good investment.
DeleteSobrang bilib na naman kayo. In the US, you don't buy a house in cold cash. Hulugan yan mga teh! 25-30-yrs term. 0-30% downpayment, may bahay ka na plus depende sa lending institution magkano ibibigay sayong pang-utang mo ng bahay. Whoever will buy that house will assume the loan ng bahay and Sharon will get the equity earned ng property.
DeleteIf they are rarely there, maintaining this property and paying taxes may not be so worth it. It's a nice house and a good investment.
ReplyDeleteBaka nga ano? Kasi amongst her contemporaries mukhang maingat naman siya sa kinita niya thru the years. Add to that yung sa family nila. Baka hindi lang siya as liquid as she'd want to right now.
DeleteNot a good investment at all. She bought it in 2000 for 2m. After commissions, upkeep, taxes, she will be losing money.
Delete3:48 At that time it might have been good. The house is in a popular neighborhood. But plans change, and this place might not be home for them anymore. Hopefully she'll get a fair bargain selling her property.
DeleteShe's into real estate biz ata kasi kahit wala na syang projects, top 3 pa din sya sa BIR's highest taxpayer
Delete5:41 like the Kardashians.
Deletepede nya ibenta ke Pacman para neighbor sila ni Kim Kardashian.
DeleteCalabasas is good but its not Beverly Hills.
DeleteMahihirapan nga si Mega maglabas ng cash sa hospital bills ni Mommy Elaine kung ang investments pala nya ay real properties. Anyway, parang nag-iimply ang article na kailangan nya ng datong dahil last year lang eh nagbabalak syang magmigrate. Baka kailangan ng campaign funds ni Kiko or baka there is better investment opportunities elsewhere? Sang ayon sa BIR report dito, #3 pa din si Mega sa top entertainment earners kaya wag naman sana iimply na naghihirap na sya.
ReplyDeleteExactly. Kahit di sya masyadong busy sa showbiz malaki pa rin ang kita.
DeleteKC volunteered to pay for her Mamita's hospital bills because she treated her like a mother, she had a better mother-daughter relationship with Mommy Elaine.
Delete12:38 for campaign funds din naisip ko! Pero kailangan ba talaga mag-invest ng napaka-laking halaga para sa kandidatura? Bakit? At pano nila babawiin ang milyon milyon o bilyon na ginastos nila?
Deleteyup.she said that on an interview na si KC nag-abono ng hospital bills ni mommy elaine kasi nagliliquidate pa sya ng properties.i think 5-10M yata yung inadvance ni KC,not sure if i remembr the amount correctly but in the millions yun
DeleteShe's a top earner coz she sold some real estate to pay Kc among other things. Hondi sya naghihirap by any means. But this house is a lost, unless she had it rented.
DeleteWow that's a very nice area.
ReplyDeleteKapitbahay lang ang Kardashians!
Bakit kaya magbebenta it's a great investment. Sa eleksyon?
Sayang ang ganda pa naman. Paubos na ba ang mga naipundar ni Mega?
ReplyDeleteShe loves to buy properties dito sa states tapos after a yeaar or two ibebenta nya. She bought the calabasas home 3 years ago dahil mejo bumaba ang presyo ng mga bahay, ngayon tumaas na naman malamang malaki ang tutubuin nya.
Deletemaganda nga! mas bet ko to compare dun sa nabili ni pacman, feels homey.
Delete12:53 baka may multo yun bahay, sa tagal ba nman walang nakatira at mukhang liblib pa tahimik na lugar, nakow may possibility. freaky!
DeleteThat's the biggest investment of her! So simply rich!
ReplyDeleteMalamang di na nya kayang bayaran ang property tax nyan taun-taon tapos wala namang nakatira...just saying
ReplyDeleteMost sensible comment I've read
DeleteSo
Far
Real property investment. I dont think bibili sya ng ganyan kalaking bahay para i-tengga lang ng ganun. Hindi ito about luxurious living. It's about business. Pinapagkakitaan nya.
DeleteKung property investment and she sells it now Di siya kikita unless fixer upper and she's just flipping it. Kikita siya if she rents it out while she's not there. Ang real estate for it to earn its either a flip... Rental or time for the property to gain value.
DeleteNeighbor nila ang Kardashians!!
ReplyDeleteNext up for sale...Hermes bags.
ReplyDeleteNaibenta na nya sa hospital bills ng mommy nya last year. Atleast aminado syang nagkaproblema sya financially
DeleteYou wanna imply na naghihirap sya? No way. Nasa top 3 entertainment earner pa rin sya. Mga idolets mo muna maghirap bago sya. Maraming investment yan.
DeleteMga alahas muna!
Deletehindi nmn lahat ng birkin naibenta. sinabi nya before yung mga di nya lng masyadong type at di masyadong gamit. and naibalita pa b4, sharon owns at least 13 birkins.
DeleteNasaan n ang 1 Billion offer ni MVP sknya? Binalil nia ba after niang lumipat ult?
DeleteBonggacious! Ate Shawie ayaw mo na sa US mag-stay? ;)
ReplyDeleteang weird nga eh, sa US magreretire, hindi ba mas magastos dun??? karamihan nga ng foreigners choose poorer countries to retire kasi mas mura daw dito at malaki value ng pera nila.
DeleteGrabe.Ang ganda! Yayamanin talaga
ReplyDeleteWow super rich talaga si Mega.
ReplyDeleteInggit? You don't even have the slightest idea of how she's selling it. Ikaw nga kahit Hermes nail cutter wala.
Delete5:36 ano kinakagalit mo kay 2:41?
DeleteHindi siya naiingit 5:36.Ikaw, napakabitter mo.
DeleteWhy mad 5:36? Ikaw ata ang bitter.
DeleteThere must be a good investment opportunity knocking on her door. It's a good decision to invest in an income producing properties than just a big house that is rarely occupied. She's so smart of her money.
ReplyDeleteNot so sure on this one though. Depends on how much she's put in on the property and how much she gets to sell it. Having a big house does not mean your rich at times... Sometimes it means you have a big mortgage.
Delete$2.2 million is like equivalent to 1 billion pesos. Wow! Yaman pala Nila
ReplyDelete$2.2m x 47p = 103M pesos maka billion ka naman aral din pag may time di yung kuda ng kuda
DeleteHa? Ok ka lang? Magkano ba palitan ng peso to dollar,ng jump ba ng bongga? Sa exchange rate na oagpalagay nating 46php=$1 di ba dapat approx 92m php lang? Medyo malayo pa yun sa 1 bilyon,tama na kakainom ng gin bulag.
Deleteuy hindi naman.... sobra ka isang digit!
Deletearound 45-46 pesos ang palitan ng dollar e, so
2 200 000
x 46
----------
13 200 000
+ 88 000 00
----------
101 200 000
around 100 million pesos lang beks!
100 m lang poh
Deletemore than P100M po
Deleteisa din to!
DeleteSaan mo nakuha yan exchange rate mo baks? Hahaha
Deletemore than P100M po
DeleteDi naman 1 billion! compute mo uli
Delete100 million pesos plus
Deletepalpak.... 2.2 million USD is only about 103 million in pesos. Paano mo nakuha ang 1 billion? hahaha
DeletePaki review po ang simple multiplication...
DeleteIt's just roughly 108 M pesos not 1B. Very good price na , houses in makati subdivision already cost almost the same price if not more 😁
DeleteDid you skip your math class in elementary? Let's say $1 is 46.90: 2.2m x 46.90 = 103,180,000 pesos. Balik ka ulet sa basic arithmetic baks!
Deletemore than 100m lng yan,anong 1billion ang pinagsasabi nyo
Delete100 million pesos plus lang po
Deletehello try mo kaya i search and exchange rate lol
DeleteMega is super rich. Because she knows where to invest her money.
ReplyDeleteShe is mega rich. I think it is for another investment.
ReplyDeleteAng yaman Nila. Ka inggit!
ReplyDeleteWhen she donated 10 million during Haiyan, I know in my gut she got more money saves aside. This is just some of them... She's super rich Naman pala.
ReplyDeleteAnon 12:19 and 3:16...$2.2 million dollars is ONLY 103 million and something in pesos NOT "close to 1 billion" ..current exchange rate is $1 (47 pesos)...aral aral din pag may time.
ReplyDeleteNot practical if no one lives there. Mahal ng tax nyan! She is wise, she'd just buy another one when she retires instead of burning money pa
ReplyDelete$2.2 million is ONLY 103,400,000 IN pesos NOT "Close to 1 billion" ...duh.
ReplyDeletecalabasas?! sosyal!
ReplyDeleteEven though the price seems impressive, i wonder how much the house would really sell. Factor in, the real estate agent's cut, taxes, etc as well as maintenance costs over the years, wonder if it's really worth it. And for sure, pinarenovate nya yan. Does she rent the house if they're not there? I doubt it though.
ReplyDeleteShe's probably just being practical. Naka tengga lang, nagbabayad pa siya ng tax, maintenance, etc.
ReplyDeleteakala ko ba nmagreretire na siya?
ReplyDeletesome of you guys are ridiculous..just because she's selling doesn't mean she's poor na..she's selling because FYI California was bombarded this year with left and right issues, from forest fires, to drought to insane cost of living and severe traffic...i'm pretty sure she bought this way lower than selling price, she's smart, don't be fooled by her sweet charming face..she's a business savvy woman...she'll turn around with a profit and invest wisely somewhere...
ReplyDelete100 million pesos (approx) ang 2.2M USD hindi 1Billion.
ReplyDeleteKaloka mga tao. Just because a property is being put up for sale doesn't mean that the owner is in need of cash. She is just being practical and baka gusto nya paikutun pera nya.
ReplyDeleteIt's 103-104 Philippine peso people not a billion. She's rich!
ReplyDeleteWow 2.2 million is roughly 103 million pesos :)
ReplyDeleteGood investment but if nobody lives there and nobody plans to live there... it is a good decision to sell it. (",)
ReplyDelete2.2m USD is only 103m pesos at 47 pesos per usd conversion rate..
ReplyDeletePag kinonvert sa pesos, ang layo pa nun sa 1 billion pesos. Wala pa nga sa kalahati. Ang OA kung makapag-close sa 1 billion php yung iba dito lol.
ReplyDeleteAno b naman ang mga math nyo? 2.2M USD is more than 100M PHP! Anong almost 1 billion PHP na pinagsasabi nyo. Smh!
ReplyDeleteoo nga kaloka tong mga ito. isang bilyon agad?!
DeleteAno pinagsasabi mo? Simple math. Kainis ka. Sinira mo new year ko. Smh kapa!che!!! Utak naiwan sa 2015.
DeleteAng slow mo 12:36.
Delete2.2m ist just 100mm pesoss not 1billion
ReplyDeleteang kulet lang ni anon 3:16 noh, intindihin na lang siya. di marunong magconvert hahaha
ReplyDeleteShe handles her earnings very well. She invests them on the right places, sana ganito din mga young stars ngayon habang nasa peak pa ng kasikatan.
ReplyDeleteParang ang baba naman ng price for that mansion.. Landed properties in singapore which are considerably smaller than that mansion costs around sgd3-5 million. We'll bongga pa din ni mega..
ReplyDeleteBaka minumulto yung bahay! I'm not joking hindi ito horror story or movie, maaaring totoo o posible ito! Ang mura nya binebenta ang house! Mansion na nakatayo sa 6 thousand sq. ft na lot, ang mura sa 2.2M!
DeleteShe is indeed a smart businesswoman. Kiko is so lucky !!
ReplyDelete100M is nothing to her. Her Wack Wack home is worth more. She's been a top earner for so many DECADES. And she prolly purchased this home a while ago at a different market value. Calabasas has only been seen as super prime area the past couple of years due to the Kardashans and Bieber. Good for mega, happy for her.
ReplyDeleteMas nakakagulantang ata mga nagcocomment ng billion pesos daw. Jusko?!ladies and gentlemen, the future of the philippines. pak na pak.
ReplyDeleteShe is undeniably one of the richest Filipino artists even until now, with very minimal showbiz engagements! She played her cards well in terms of investments. Ginagawa lang vacation house ang mansion in Calabasas pa, where the famous Kardashians dwell! It was invested in 1997 pa, yet she did not let the whole world knows about it, unlike other stars with lesser investments.. I've heard from the grapevines that she owns an island somewhere in Palawan and another big parcel of land (beach front) in Bohol (being a close friend of the filthy rich Aboitizes)... indeed, she' definitely BIG TIME in a very humble way of handling it...
ReplyDeleteAnd she owns at least 32 McDonald's franchise in the US
DeleteYeah. In San Vicente. Kaya sumisikat rin ang lugar. I heard an airport is in the works. She's good ah.
DeleteTrue ba yan anon 11:26? Kung ganon smart talaga si Mega sa pera. She does not have to work anymore.
DeleteShe has island in ElNido, hotel in San Vicente some in Coron.
Delete11:26 ikr? sana may prenup sila ni kiko
DeleteKung totoo yung mc donalds franchise, yan ang nag ge generate ng income nya. Depende sa location, the profit per franchise would be 1-3M usd per year. Wow
Delete11:26 I think I know where you work at..you can get sued for breach of confidentiality by disclosing such info. Lagot!
Deletekaya pala ang laki ng binabayaran nyang tax kahit di sya gaanong visible sa showbiz,sa mga business nya pala ang mga binabayaran nyang tax
Delete6:18 may prenup sila ni Kiko. Kiko drafted it. He insisted daw
DeleteSo busy rin nman pla sya at di tatamad-tamad kahit di visible sa showbiz.
DeleteAno to? Binebenta para sa campaign? Tas pano babawiin na lang pag nakaupo na ganyan? Nako nako nako
ReplyDeleteBillionaire pala si Mega. Super rich!
ReplyDeleteYes ! Kita nman sa katawan na sagana sya
DeleteGrabe maka comment iba, bibilhin nyo? Ang 2.2 Million Dollar is not cheap money sa Amerika given their economic condition. Isa pa the property was built back in 1997, so sa standard sa US tama lang presyuhan.
ReplyDeleteTaraaaaay. Upgrade na sa FP. Hindi lang grammar lessons, may Math din.
ReplyDeleteParang ang mura nya for 2.2 million. Prime area at malaki ang lote.
ReplyDeleteOi that's 1 billion pesos
ReplyDeleteSinabi na ngang 100 million pesosesoses lang! Anuveh? Gamit ng calculator
Delete
