Obviously they amassed a huge fortune, because this home had 15 bedrooms, 27 bathrooms, a bowling alley, and housed some very expensive collections. Candy Spelling is the surviving widow and she put this huge home on the market for 150 million dollars and it took over 800 days but they sold it, but didn't say for how much. Probably like all of the rest of us, a lot less than the asking price.
I dont' know anything about Candy Spelling but it was interesting to watch that even those with lots and lots and lots of very expensive possessions go through the same processes and apparently the same feelings that we ordinary folks do.
She lableled things with sticky notes, keep, sell, donate and discard. She had designed this home herself and was moving into a not shabby at all two story condominium..so no need to worry that she was homeless.
She too had a lot of memories attached to her THINGS and seemed to have the same feelings I had of moving on and moving out and getting rid of things.
I didn't watch all of it because I fell asleep...but found it interesting that the transitions we are making here are made everywhere.
And even having endless supplies of money don't make them pain free.
Anyone see it? What did you think of that house and of the show?

Gracie,
I believe I saw in the paper the house has been sold to a 22 year old (if I remember correctly) heiress from the UK for $85 million. It might have been $88 million but it was definitely in that range. I wonder if they'll do a show about the condo Candy Spelling is moving into? They said it is the size of the attic at Spelling Manor.
