*Grammy-winning superstar Usher is a million dollars richer, as the R&B singer has finally sold the mansion in Alpharetta, Ga., he bought at the start of his career, Page Six reports.
In late June, he sold the house for $1.5 million — 1.1. million less than his original asking price.
The mansion was previously owned by legendary music producer LA Reid, who had turned one of the rooms into a state-of-the-art recording studio for his new label, LaFace.
In 1999, when he was 20-years-old, Usher bought the house for $1.2 million.

“I came into this house … and I remember walking through it, just being mesmerized by everything I saw, and it was like, ‘One day, I want to own a house like this,’” Usher recalled in a 2003 episode of “How I’m Living.“ “I ended up buying this house. There’s history in it. My history lies in this house.”
The house boasts seven bedrooms and eight-and-a-half bathrooms, and measures over 8000 sq ft. It also includes a climate-controlled treehouse, a yoga studio and a private dance studio, according to The Blast.
In his 2003 interview, Usher described the master bedroom as “real elegant, yet very warm, yet very sexy.”
“This room is a representation of my character,” he added.
As noted by Page Six, Usher is still trying to unload a five-bedroom, six-bath home in West Hollywood, which he’s selling for $3.7 million. In late March, burglars raided the spot, making off with $820,000 in cash and jewelry, police say.
