Drake can pop champagne, because he just unloaded the main residence of his YOLO estate.
TMZ has learned the deal closed Friday, with an unknown buyer scooping up Drake's former pad for $12 million ... which is well below the $14.8 million asking price.
Remember ... Champagne Papi's YOLO estate is made up of 3 contiguous homes in an exclusive neighborhood in Hidden Hills.
Drake put the entire compound on the market back in March, drawing interest from celebs like Britney Spears and Caitlyn Jenner, before Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford dropped $11 million on the 2 smaller homes.
The main residence, which just sold, is an English Tudor ... and it's 12,500 square feet of pure luxury.
The place has all the bells and whistles ... including 6 fireplaces, a wine cellar and tasting room, plus a 25-seat theater and naturally, a recording studio.
The backyard is a total oasis ... featuring a huge swimming pool with a spa grotto, swim-up bar, waterfalls and an 80 foot long rock waterslide, surrounded by big-screen TVs.
Oh and Drake's place also has separate courts to play tennis, basketball and sand volleyball ... plus a horse stable, equestrian ring and a mechanical riding bull.
Safe to say the new owner will be well entertained.

Michael Jackson Estate Claims Brazen Robbery After Death ... Items Stolen From Home

Exclusive

Michael Jackson's estate claims a man engaged to one of his siblings used the chaos and sadness around MJ's death to jack a bunch of property from the singer's home.
According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, MJ's estate claims Jeffre Phillips, who they say was engaged to one of Michael's siblings when he died, apparently used his 9-day stay in Michael's Carolwood House to steal personal and private property.
Michael's estate claims Phillips started staying at the home right after MJ died on June 25, 2009 and pulled off brazen acts of theft under the cover of all the hullabaloo around the home ... making off with items including MJ's iPhone, California drivers license, prescription pill bottles with pills inside and some clothes.
What's more, Michael's estate claims Phillips also stole handwritten notes from MJ ... plus a briefcase filled with personal and business papers, as well as video cameras, computers and hard drives.
And, get this ... the estate says Phillips even stole the pajamas Michael was wearing in the final hours before his death -- which had apparently been removed from his body by the paramedics trying to save his life -- and a resuscitator tube that appears to have been used on Michael.
The lawsuit does not specify which of Michael's siblings Phillips was engaged to.
The timing of the filing is interesting ... it was filed Friday, just before the 13th anniversary of Michael's death.
We reached out to Phillips ... so far no word back.

Wiz Khalifa's currently living large in a new spot not too far from his old one, which means he has an extra mansion on his hands ... but he's trying to change that.
We've just learned the Taylor Gang general is putting his former pad in Encino up for $4,495,000 -- which is $1 million more than he originally paid for the crib back in January 2019.
Seems like a steal of a deal for the next buyer ... the super-smart home features 6 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms, floor-to-ceiling glass doors and custom fireplaces. On the more exotic end of amenities, it's got a home movie theater, a waterfall, pool and a spa.
Alan Taylor of Compass and Brian Capossela with Cap Equity hold the listing.
Wiz is currently resting his head just a few miles up the street in a newly built $7.6 mansion.
The upgraded spot has a lot of the same features as his old place ... but he's added an extra guesthouse and a gym. We know how much Wiz loves his workouts.
He'll only have a limited amount of time to get moved in ... his Vinyl Verse Tour with Logic begins on July 27.

'Vanderpump' Stars Tom & Katie See Ya Later to Our Home ... After Filing for Divorce
"Vanderpump Rules" star Katie Maloney and Tom Schwartz have officially gone their separate ways, and now, they're doing the same with the home they shared while married.
The two have listed the pad at $2.7 million ... considering they bought it back in 2019 for just under $2 million, there's a chance they'll turn a profit. It's got plenty of ways to entertain guests, including a pool, patio and backyard spa.
Obviously, the listing was expected, Katie recently opened up about moving out of the home and getting an apartment of her own.
In an emotional IG post about leaving the home, she wrote ... "I hate goodbyes. And this one hurts a lot. The emotions and words are hard to pin down. Closing this chapter on my life feels like attending my own funeral."
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
She continued, "Thank you house for being the coziest brightest home, for the memories, for being my sanctuary, for letting me dress you up like a hallmark movie set at Christmas and for being OURS."
Of course, this all comes about 3 months after Katie filed for divorce from Tom, in L.A. County Superior Court. They both reportedly decided not to keep the house, following the split ... cause it was too much for just one person.
Stephen Apelian of Coldwell Banker Realty holds the listing.

'RHONJ' Joe Gorga No Regrets About Ranting at Tenant ... He Should Hustle to Pay Rent!!!

Joe Gorga doesn't deny it, he knows he totally lost it on one of his tenants, but he stands by his actions ... telling us he doesn't do well with folks who don't work hard.
The 'RHONJ' star says he has no regrets about how that confrontation with the tenant went down, because he was genuinely upset, and wanted the guy to feel exactly the way he did. Mission accomplished, we think.
You'll recall, JG recently got into a screaming match with the tenant ... who Joe and his attorney claim hasn't paid rent out of his own pocket in 4 years and owes nearly $50K.
He doubled down, saying what pissed him off most was he gave the guy an opportunity to better himself by giving him a place to live ... and feels like he took advantage of the situation.
Joe insists the tenant is trying to "beat the system" instead of finding a job to pay rent.
For his part, the tenant says the state of NJ paid a large portion of the rent through a COVID relief program -- which he qualified for after losing his restaurant manager job during the pandemic.
All in all, Joe admits the guy's failure to pay rent didn't really hurt his pockets, but his behavior could hurt another family ... and he wanted to teach the guy a lesson.

Britney Spears Gets 3 Year Restraining Order Against Ex-Husband ... His Bail Set at $100K
4:34 PM PT -- We spoke with Britney's attorney, Mathew Rosengart, after the hearing who says he's pleased with how seriously the court is taking the case ... and hopes the harsh punishment will deter any future copycats from trying the same.
Britney Spears' ex, Jason Alexander, cannot contact or bother the singer in any capacity for at least the next 3 years, a judge just issued a restraining order against Britney's ex-husband ... and also hit him with a felony stalking charge.
Alexander pled not guilty at his arraignment Monday on charges stemming from last week's wild incident -- in which he filmed himself sneaking onto the Ventura-area compound where she was set to get hitched ... only to be detained following a scuffle with security/law enforcement.
The judge also added a felony stalking charge to Alexander's case and set his bail at $100,000 ... and he'll have to surrender any firearms he may have in his possession.
As we reported, cops say JA was armed with a knife during the episode, and an emergency protective order was issued on Britney's behalf -- ordering him to steer clear of her and Sam.
He was booked for trespassing, vandalism and battery, for which he could possibly enter a plea Monday. And, he still has another case against him from Northern California ... where he's alleged to have committed grand theft.
In that case ... a woman claims he jacked a pricey bracelet of hers while crashing at her pad in 2015, listed as being worth $2,000. The Napa County Sheriff's Office issued a warrant for Alexander's arrest shortly thereafter in 2016 -- but he's dodged it thus far, it seems.
After he was arrested at the wedding, the warrant popped up. So, he has to deal with that too. Unclear how the cases might be presented order-wise, but both are on the table.

Britney Spears has a massive new home to go with that new marriage -- and she and Sam Asghari are already packed up to move.
Sources close to the couple tell TMZ ... she plunked down $11.8 million for the mansion in Calabasas. The 11,650 sq. foot home is actually pretty close to where Kevin Federline lives with their 2 sons, Sean and Jayden.
Brit's white Mercedes-Benz was in the driveway Monday, along with moving trucks ... so, it looks like the newlyweds are getting into their new place ASAP.
Sam and Brit's new playground sits on 1.6 acres of land ... its got a huge kitchen, a home movie theatre, and even a room just for gift-wrapping. Christmas is gonna be 🔥!!!
Outside, they've got a huge pool, complete with a waterslide. Oh, the IG videos Brit's gonna make back there.
This area is home to lots of other big stars -- Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker live there now, and Justin Bieber used to call it his home before he and Hailey moved to Bev Hills.
The move explains why the couple didn't jet outta town on a honeymoon right after their wedding Thursday night at Brit's current home in Thousand Oaks, CA.
According to property records, "Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles" stars Josh and Matt Altman of Douglas Elliman and Todd Bernstein of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage handled the listing and sale, but had no comment.
As for how K-Fed feels about the move -- a source tells us, "Kevin was surprised that of all the neighborhoods she can afford to move to she chose his. As long as his peace and tranquility aren't invaded as a result, more power to her."

ZZ Top's frontman Billy Gibbons was thrilled when he heard Dusty Hill's estate was going up for sale ... until he learned his family had nothing to do with it.
We got Billy at LAX, and he says he had some cool finds he was hoping to contribute to this weekend's estate sale, but was turned off once he found out there's a random person -- with deep pockets -- behind the event.
Billy tells us an anonymous buyer snatched up Dusty's house after he died last July ... and they went through the place, taking any cool memorabilia they could find and turning it into this weekend's big sale.
He finds the whole thing a major bummer ... he was excited to contribute his personal stuff to the estate of his comrade-in-awesome-beards -- hoping true ZZ Top fans would be interested -- but now he thinks folks should steer clear.
As for what's actually up for sale -- his guess is it's not exactly Rock and Roll Hall of Fame quality items.
The sale went on all weekend in Houston ... offering Dusty's old furniture, framed posters, artwork and other items from his former home.

It looks like Iman Shumpert and Teyana Taylor are about to be officially done with the West Coast ... 'cause TMZ has learned, they sold their L.A. area house.
Property records show they accepted an offer for their house back in April, and real estate sources tell TMZ ... they'll be closing next week, unloading it for $4 million.
Whoever scooped up the Studio City pad is getting all the bells and whistles ... including a pool, movie theater and even a waterfall. Oh, and there's a custom dog house, just in case they're any kinda dog-lover.
The master bedroom also comes with a massive walk-in closet and a meditation balcony that overlooks the serene yard.
The place is a real beaut, but we're told Teyana and Iman decided to sell it because they're spending most of their time on the East Coast these days.
And, from the looks of it ... they've been toying with the idea for a while.
The couple actually bought the home back in 2018 for a little under $3 mil, listed it for rent and tried to sell it 2 years later. They ended up taking it off the market, before relisting back in April.
Sean "Eitan" Constine of Nourmand and Associates realty in Beverly Hills held the listing.

Todd Chrisley House Arrest Ain't Too Shabby ... Daughter Brought Sweets!!!
Todd Chrisley is doing home confinement in style, hanging out in his huge mansion with a sweet delivery while he awaits sentencing in his bank fraud and tax evasion case.
The reality TV star emerged from his not-so-humble abode Friday for the first time since he was put on house arrest following his guilty verdict.
What got Todd out of the main house, down the front steps and onto the driveway ... a bakery delivery from his daughter, Savannah. The treats look homemade, and are probably better than anything he might eventually get in federal prison.
As you know, Todd and wife Julie were found guilty Tuesday of a laundry list of charges, most notably bank fraud and tax evasion ... and now they're facing up to 30 years in federal prison, though the family lawyer says they plan to appeal the verdict.
In the meantime, Todd's stuck at home in his Nashville estate, which doesn't seem too bad ... especially considering what might lie ahead.

"New Girl" star Lamorne Morris is a couple million dollars richer ... cause we're told he unloaded his Los Angeles area home for around $2 million more than he paid to get it.
TMZ has learned ... Lamorne recently sold his contemporary Spanish pad in L.A.'s Tarzana neighborhood for $5.3 million. Pretty good return, considering he dropped $3.1 million when he bought it back in 2018.
The 6 bedroom, 8 bathroom house was on the market for less than 40 days ... and if you take a look at it, it makes sense why this bad boy was snagged fairly quickly.
Lucky for Lamorne, L.A.'s San Fernando Valley is on fire with home sales and prices in the area are really on the rise.
We're told the buyer isn't a celeb, but whoever scooped it up will enjoy a fully automated smart home with floor-to-ceiling glass windows, a chef's kitchen with dual islands and top-of-the-line appliances.
When you step outside, there's a large sparkling pool, a spa, sports court, a pool house with a bar and dining area and plenty of grassy space.
As for Lamore, we're told he's going to be renting a home in the L.A. area for now.
"Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles" stars Josh and Matt Altman of Douglas Elliman held the listing, but had no comment on the sale. Stephen Sweeney of the Agency repped the buyer.

Oscar De La Hoya I Want To Be The Mayor Of Vegas!!
Oscar De La Hoya isn't just campaigning for a Ryan Garcia-Gervonta Davis fight ... he said this week he also wants to launch a campaign for himself -- to be the next mayor of Las Vegas!
The former boxing champ was answering a series of questions from fans on Inside Boxing Live With Dan Canobbio this week ... when one of the listeners wanted to know if he was planning on running for President in 2024.
SEPTEMBER 2018
Remember, De La Hoya told us in 2018 that he was seriously considering running against Donald Trump in the 2020 election. That, obviously, didn't happen ... but De La Hoya told the questioner on the show one in '24 won't either.
"No," ODLH said with a laugh. "No more presidential run."
But, the 49-year-old did reveal he's planning on running for another government position -- mayor of Sin City.
"There might be some opportunities in Vegas to run for mayor," De La Hoya said. "Imagine that?"
De La Hoya revealed he's building a home in Vegas -- so the move, which he seemed pretty serious about, would make sense for him.
"It’ll be interesting to see if I can make a run for mayor in Las Vegas," he said.
Of course, Vegas is where some of the biggest boxing matches happen -- which is perfect for ODLH and his Golden Boy Promotions.
Canobbio pointed that out ... saying, "Make that fight -- Ryan Garcia vs. Tank Davis. You're the Mayor. You can pull strings. Gives you even more power."
Mayor De La Hoya does have a ring to it.

Bob Saget Former Home Listed for Sale

Exclusive
- 596 shares
The residence Bob Saget called home before his unexpected death has hit the market.
The home which was newly renovated when Bob bought it in 2003 is listed for $7.765 million. Bob's nephew, Adam Saget at Compass holds the listing.
As expected, the property has a ton of entertaining space -- including a pool, spa and barbecue hosting space -- complete with 6 bedrooms, including a guest house. The home was first built in 1964, but got a total renovation when Bob bought it for $2.895 million.
Bob shared the home with his wife, Kelly Rizzo, but recent reports said she felt the home had become a burden -- even though it was also filled with happy memories.
The listing comes just before the Netflix premiere of "A Tribute to Bob Saget" which is set to release June 10 -- featuring some of the industry's best comedians, who Bob called friends.
It was back in January when Saget died at The Ritz-Carlton in Orlando after suffering a brain bleed. Investigators believe the comedian struck his head -- possibly on the hotel headboard -- before he went to sleep.
Shortly after the findings were released, his family put out a statement that read, "As we continue to mourn together, we ask everyone to remember the love and laughter that Bob brought to this world, and the lessons he taught us all: to be kind to everyone, to let the people you love know you love them, and to face difficult times with hugs and laughter."
