Other guests also joined in the festivities, as seen in photos we obtained, where machines dispensed Conor’s Irish Stout to attendees, featuring tributes to Erin and Terry.
While it’s uncertain if this has any bearing on his upcoming comeback fight against Michael Chandler—already rescheduled once due to a toe injury McGregor sustained during training—fans need not worry. The Notorious One quickly returned to his regimen of electrolytes and workouts in the days following the celebration.
Ye famously purchased the Tadao Ando-designed Malibu home for $57.3 million in 2021 and later made headlines by stripping the mansion down to its bare bones—reportedly with plans to convert it into a bomb shelter.
However, Ye grew tired of the project and listed the home for a hefty $53 million. Despite the steep price, the stripped-down property failed to attract buyers, leading Ye and his realtor, “Selling Sunset” star Jason Oppenheim, to reduce the asking price by $14 million.
It appears Ye’s team eventually secured a buyer for the Malibu mansion, though they had to lower the price once more. Belwood Investments is set to finalize the purchase on September 3. The company’s CEO, Bo Belmont, plans to invest an additional $5 million to restore the property, aiming to bring it back in line with the original vision of the renowned Japanese architect.
Belmont remarked, “This is not just a phenomenal real estate investment; it is an opportunity to revitalize and preserve an architectural gem by the renowned Tadao Ando, ensuring it remains a jewel of Malibu.”
Here’s hoping the additional $5 million proves worthwhile, as it currently seems like quite the money pit.
