Mary J. Blige finally offloaded her mega-mansion in Saddle River, New Jersey back in 2020 after trying to sell it on and off for a decade.

The Super Bowl Halftime Show performer suffered a major loss once it finally sold – almost $7million! Mary originally purchased the 25-room property back in 2008 for a whopping $12.3million but received just $5.5m after trying to sell it at various prices over the years.

In 2015, the singer set an asking price of $13million, before dropping it down to $6.8million in 2019. Let's take a look inside…

The home also has private elevator access to all three floors and a six-car garage.

The grand inside features white marble floors, and an abundance of archways that lead to spacious rooms, including multiple living and dining rooms that are all kitted out with fireplaces and floor-to-ceiling windows.

One formal dining room has two sets of double French doors that lead out into the expansive garden, as well as a double-sided fireplace that acts as a divider between the dining and living space.
