Bruno Mars Climbs the Hollywood Hills Property Ladder

The American artist famously wrote the lyrics, “I wanna be a billionaire, so freakin' bad...” for friend Travie McCoy's hit single.

Bruno may have been experiencing financial difficulties at the time but his recent multi-million euro purchase shows he doesn't seem to be too stressed about his bank account contents anymore.

The Grammy winner gets tongues wagging in Hollywood this weekend as he steadily climbs the L.A celebrity city's property ladder.

According to Perez Hilton, Mars has just purchased a luxuriously modern new pad in the Laurel Canyon area of the Hollywood Hills, overlooking the entire city.

The 4,061 square foot home set the star back over $3 million, that's nearly €2.5 million.

Strategically-placed windows means the star can view the entire city from his bed but a high stone wall around the house means Bruno can still enjoy the property's privacy.

His not-so-humble abode has three bedrooms, three bathrooms and a three car garage alongside a sauna, media room, fitness area, cosy living room and, every celebrity's must-have, an outdoor heated swimming pool. The front of the house is framed by eight stone pillars, White House style.

Huge windows in each room frame the exquisite view of the city and the pool is surrounded by wooden decking. The fitness room features a built-in two person shower, a flat screen television on the wall and a massage bed. Where's the motivation to do some exercise?

So, eh-hem, we'll be waiting on that house-warming invite then Bruno...
