“Marky Mark” Wahlberg lists in Beverly Hills

08-318667Actor and musician Mark Wahlberg has listed his Beverly Hills home at $15.9 million. Wahlberg, also known by “Marky Mark” bought the 5 bedroom, 10 1/2 bath home in 1991.

Listing information indicates 15,000 square feet of living space, while original reports of his purchase list it at just under 9,000. Sounds like someone’s been doing some adding on in the last 17 years or so. Wahlberg purchased the place for slightly under $5 million.

The 1.4 acre property includes a 2-story private guest house, a basketball court, and a massive gym with a boxing ring. And take a look at that pool - a waterfall, grotto, and cabanas wired for sound and flatscreens. That’s some serious relaxing space there. And in case that’s not enough, the home also has a 34mm digital theatre and screening room.

The listing also touts 2 luxurious living rooms, bedroom suites that all open to lush gardens and resort-like settings. Because where else would a former Calvin Klein model live?

Okay, we jest. A little. Who knew that when Wahlberg hit the music scene that he’d model underwear and then go on to be a (somewhat) decent actor and an executive producer of not one, but two HBO series? He’s been in movies ranging from Boogie Nights to Three Kings (with Clooney) to The Perfect Storm (also with Clooney) to the upcoming The Lovely Bones.
