Dr. Phil Is Putting His Mansion On The Market And It’s Taking The Internet By Storm

One of our favorite pastimes has always been celebrity real estate. As fans of our favorite celebrities, we’re always curious to see what kind of opulent homes they’ve been able to purchase with their wealth and fame. Sometimes, when we get a peek into the homes of our favorite stars, we see something so outlandish that we have to wonder if the interior designer was playing some sort of prank. Everyone on the internet was eager to see what was inside Dr. Phil’s mansion when it went on the market…

Phil McGraw

As you may know, Dr. Phil, or Phil McGraw, is one of Hollywood’s most highly paid stars. In 2019, the television star earned $95 million in annual income. Originally a protégé of Oprah Winfrey, Dr. Phil now hosts a popular syndicated talk show. There is an upfront fee for the show, plus a large percentage of advertising revenue and money from product placement, which McGraw gets from the show itself. Dr. Phil, as you may have guessed, enjoys a lavish lifestyle.

Up On The Market

Dr. Phil put his Southern California mansion on the market in early January 2020. Though Dr. Phil is not a well-known celebrity in the tabloids, this listing has gone viral nonetheless.

Internet jokesters couldn’t resist skewering Dr. Phil and his strange mansion. Images and tweets of the estate flooded social media, saying exactly what everyone was thinking.

Starts With A Weird Gate

A look at the tangled gate of the mansion’s exterior gives us a mixed message, on the other hand. Even if someone asked us entirely based on the gate what we thought of the house, we’d say the inside is undoubtedly strange.

On the other hand, as soon as you pass through that strange gate, Dr. Phil’s house starts sending out all kinds of contradictory cues, and this occurs for a number of different reasons…

Nothing Bizarre About The Driveway

As soon as you pull into the driveway of the house, you will notice that it is an entirely typical-appearing home. To all intents and purposes, this is a perfectly livable home, and the vast majority of people, given the opportunity and sufficient financial resources, would be more than happy to purchase it.

The only peculiar aspect of the house appears to be the gate, given that there is plenty of room for vehicles to park and drivers to leave when and where they please. On the other hand, the interior of the house is chock full of unexpected delights…

It All Seems Normal

It is difficult to fathom anything out of the ordinary taking place within the mansion given its attractiveness and warm atmosphere. The flowers and foliage that can be found in the backyard alone create a breathtaking tapestry.

In addition, there are lovely Roman statues positioned all-around a picturesque pool, which provides an excellent contrast to the plants. There really doesn’t seem to be any indications that this house is haunted or strange in any way. Everywhere you look, there is yet another indication that, despite its outward appearance, this house is anything but typical. At first…

Typical Beverly Hills Mansion

As can be seen, the mansion, when viewed from the outside, has the appearance of a typical Beverly Hills home. It has a pale yellow exterior that is reminiscent of Tuscany, a pool that is as clear as glass, grass and palm trees that are green, and patio furniture that is fairly standard issue.

It is evident that Dr. Phil and his family must have spent a great deal of time eating outside in this lovely dining area during the warm summer months. They probably spent quite a few mornings here as well, especially during the summer. But what you see from the outside doesn’t tell the whole story about this house…

Getting Inside

The phrase “eclectic finishes” was used to describe the interior of the house in the real estate listing, and the listing agents couldn’t have picked a more apt descriptor of the atmosphere that exists there. As soon as you step inside the 6,170 square foot interiors, you may start to wonder if you were somehow transported into a different dimension through the power of magic.

It Went Viral

The McGraw family had hoped that selling the house would not present any difficulties; however, the real estate listing went viral. Not because of the breathtaking scenery or the enormous amount of living space; in fact, it wasn’t even because of the mansion’s asking price of $5.75 million.

The mansion gained national attention due to the wild and crazy design choices it featured, which were so bizarre that they defied belief. The value of Dr. Phil’s estate can easily be defended on the basis of the enormous size of the mansion. Nevertheless, there appears to be a valid explanation for why it is leading all of the headlines…

His Son Occupied The Mansion

According to a family representative, Dr. Phil has never actually resided in the house; rather, his son Jordan is currently using it as his primary residence. It’s not uncommon for celebrities to lavish their family members with lavish mansions, and Dr. Phil is certainly no exception.

It would appear that Jordan is the one responsible for the appearance of the mansion in its current state. His interior design choices, on the other hand, leave a lot to be desired, despite the fact that the outside of the house appears to be a pretty good representation of a Beverly Hills pad…

From The Outside View

The photographs of the home revealed how unconventional the interior design is. Nothing at all like you’d anticipate from a world-famous psychologist to have. At first glance, the facade of the mansion makes it appear to be nothing more than a typical house.

The mansion appears to have all the makings of the set for a hip-hop music video, including a stunning pool that would be suitable for any celebrity pool party. Who on earth wouldn’t want something like this in their house? The home’s outward appearance of “normalcy” does not, however, end there…

Stunning Front Garden

Even the whole front garden of the mansion, for the most part, shouts out the following to anyone who passes by: “Hello, I am a perfectly normal mansion located in Beverly Hills. I am ready to be purchased right now.”

However, the moment you set foot inside that, you immediately become aware that there is a slight deviation from the norm. There are many peculiar elements in the mansion, such as a room with a pool table that has large claws and a grand staircase that has enormous vines wrapped around it. Everything seems a little out of this world…

What Kind Of Fountain Is That?

When you tilt your head to the left ever-so-slightly, it is easy to see that Jordan’s architectural choices began to rapidly develop flaws almost immediately. The subsequent fountain appears to be completely out of place.

What possibly could have prompted Jordan to make such an irrational choice regarding his house? At first glance, the concept of a reptilian character that throws up water appears to be completely bonkers. Jordan actually has a very good reason for his choice, despite the fact that it doesn’t seem to fit in at all…

Own Fantasy World

Jordan has in the past provided reporters with an exclusive tour of the one-of-a-kind interior that was inspired by Tim Burton and has undergone some minor renovations since then. He admitted that one of his goals was to build his own fantasy world.

“The whole place, the idea is kind of Tim Burton threw up on a canvas, and it turned into a house,” he said. Visitors are greeted by a fountain in the shape of a serpent, which is a copy of the fountain that appears at the beginning of the popular Halloween classic A Nightmare Before Christmas. “Unfortunately, Jack Skeleton hasn’t crawled out of it yet,” Jordan jokingly said.

The Entrance

Everything appears to be pretty standard as you enter the property, with the exception of a bright purple swing that greets you as you enter the house. Other than that, nothing seems out of the ordinary. There is nothing particularly odd about this entrance, despite the fact that the color scheme is not our preference (we feel that having everything be black is a bit reminiscent of the 1980s).

It’s possible that this was a strategic move, an effort to reassure guests that the house they’re staying in is not a house of horrors but rather a home with a few normal quirks.

The Closer You Look, The Weirder It Seems

At first glance, the living room appears to be a completely normal living room. At first glance, this appears to be a nice living room; however, upon careful scrutiny, you realize that nothing matches, and the more you look, the stranger the room appears to become.

The living room is a chaotic mishmash of mismatched furniture, paintings, and figurines of various animals that surround the fireplace. When you purchase the property, you will have the option of keeping these one-of-a-kind pieces, as stated in the listing.

The Bar

As soon as you step into the great room, you’ll notice that the atmosphere has taken a turn for the creepier. There is a chandelier that has the appearance of having been taken directly from the castle of a wicked queen. The crystal chandelier, which is located in the home’s wet bar and is surrounded by a checkered black and white dome, serves as the focal point of the room for reasons that are beyond our comprehension.

It is only natural for our gaze to be drawn to the winding staircase that is covered in leafy vines. The cherry on top is the fact that the backrests of the bar stools are shaped like antlers.

Atypical Chandelier

The following photograph offers a better representation of how the chandelier appears in real life. It is a sight to behold, especially because it appears to be drop-like shapers shooting up to the ceiling.

In addition, the abundance of neon art pieces and bright ornaments drove home the point that Jordan was going for a surreal motif that was reminiscent of something that might have appeared in a film directed by Tim Burton. It appears that no matter which direction you look in this area, the room will always give the impression of being stranger and stranger…

Black And White Ceiling

At first sight, the black and white ceiling appears to be an error; more specifically, it appears that when the McGraw family purchased the property, no one had the motivation or time to repaint the room.

However, if you look closely, you’ll notice that the ceiling is painted black and white, and the entranceway is designed to look like the rabbit hole that Alice from Alice in Wonderland goes through. This is an additional tribute to Tim Burton, who directed the movie that was released in 2010.

Chic Fireplace

Our opinion is that this second living room, which was characterized on the listing as “the fireplace,” is a pretty stylish room. The atmosphere is very postmodern and art deco, which appeals to us. It appears that the interior designer had so many ideas that they decided to cram them all into this one room, and for some reason, it worked out in their favor.

There is no room for anything else to be hung on these walls, so if the person who buys this property already has some works of art, they will need to find another location to hang them if they intend to display them.

Art Dealer

Twitter swiftly became the primary medium through which the McGraws’ home was subjected to ridicule. A lot of people made comments about the random art that was displayed all throughout the house, and some of them claimed that an art dealer had seen this guy coming from a mile away and had prepared himself.

People on the internet had queries, and they were looking for responses. We would like answers as well; does Jordan not know how to refuse to support subpar artistic endeavors?

Second Living Room

If you haven’t noticed this before, there are strange figurines of rabbits as well as bears in almost every living area. If you haven’t noticed this before, you will now. It is impossible to walk into a room without being faced by a figurine of some kind, and we have no idea who collects them or why they are so popular. These figurines give the impression that they are following you everywhere you go.

That is the least of the issues with this room; the couch is way too large (and the color is strange), and there appears to be a pile of suitcases in the center of the room.

Would You Eat Here?

If this had been our dining room, we would most likely spend the rest of our lives eating out at different restaurants. To begin, let’s take a look at the light fixture. It is eerie enough to make us feel sick to our stomachs, and the dimly lit rooms don’t help matters any. To say the least, this space does not exude an air of friendliness; the carpet is giving us motion sickness, and the chairs are simply too heavy.

If you do choose to eat in this room, you will be sitting at the table with an orange bear figurine that will keep staring at you the entire time you are eating. This will be the cherry on top of an already unpleasant experience.

Game Room

You wouldn’t be surprised to learn that Jordan’s home features a game room; more specifically, a billiard room. You might think that a room like this would be straightforward and uncomplicated; after all, all you really need is a straightforward pool table and a few pictures to hang on the walls, and you’re good to go. Not at all, if the opinion of this interior designer is anything to go by.

The billiard table has been decked out to match the floors, and the royal blue floor has been specifically designed to accommodate each of the table’s legs in its own unique way. Confused?

The Table’s Legs

The billiard room was yet another space in the house that was largely responsible for the internet’s obsession with the property. People couldn’t stop tweeting about how outrageous the pool table’s legs looked, and it was impossible for them to stop.

Others commented on how it appeared as though someone had spilled milk near the pool table. One user of Twitter wrote that the room appeared as though they were going for a “cracked ice look on a budget.” What at first glance appeared to be a straightforward real estate listing became the most popular story on the internet.

Prior The Renovation

The appearance of McGraw’s game room was a little bit distinct before the installation of the royal blue floors and the billiard table. The room was painted with a matte black finish, making it almost impossible to recognize; however, as you can see, the lighting fixture was able to survive the renovation.

In addition, there were three pinball machines and a floating mini-golf court in the house, which together created the ideal environment for a recording artist to unwind and relax in between takes of their recordings. When his friends are in need of a place to crash, the young artist frequently invites them to share his house with him.

The Main Bedroom

Upstairs in the master suite, McGraw and his girlfriend, the actress Ragan Wallake, who is 43 years old, spent some quality time together. The blue room is one of the five bedrooms and six bathrooms, and it features a private balcony with a view of the grounds that encompass a quarter of an acre.

This room does not appear to be very huge when viewed from this angle, but if we had a bed that even remotely resembled this one, there is a good chance that we would never want to leave it. It is difficult to fathom why anyone would want to leave the room given the breathtaking view that can be seen from there.

The Guest Room

We sneaked a peek into another bedroom and saw that it was decorated in an Alice in Wonderland style. To be a guest in this room, you need to have a serious attitude of openness, as it features a neon image of a cat on one of the walls as well as wild, daring design choices from top to bottom.

Nevertheless, the creepy-looking treehouse in the far corner of the room is most likely the element that grabs one’s attention the most.

Jordan’s Sphynx Cat

To tell you the truth, the treehouse that Jordan’s Sphynx cat had looked much more luxurious than anything else that we have ever had in our possession. As can be seen, the bedsheets and the carpet in both of these rooms are exactly the same.

The only things that serve to differentiate these two stunning bedrooms are the hues on the walls and the general atmosphere of each space. It would appear that Jordan enjoyed a bedroom that was more traditional while he allowed his guests to use the space decorated in the Tim Burton style. In which of these rooms would you prefer to sleep?

All-Black Kitchen

The kitchen underwent a major renovation at the same time as the rest of the house, and it is safe to say that we are relieved that it did. It appeared as though they were going for an all-black-everything kind of vibe in the old kitchen, which had an overall dark theme to it.

The thought of preparing meals in an atmosphere that is so gloomy and unsettling does not sound appetizing at all, even though we speculate that the intention was to make it look slick and chic. The renovations made the space feel much more open, and it also makes the room appear much larger and more inviting than it did before.

What Are Those?

Daniel Miller was one of the first people who were quick to make some crazy observations about the interior of the strange mansion where Dr. Phil originally settled. It was impossible for him to refrain from commenting on the peculiar arrangement of the following objects on the wall in the dining room.

Unexpected Ornaments

One thing can be said for certain: Dr. Phil’s mansion is filled to the brim with odd and wonderful decorations. Not only do they come in a wide range of colors, but they also appear to have been influenced by a large number of different cultures; this results in a truly trippy design for the interior of the house.

The final product is a mishmash of odd ornaments, including treehouses that look like something out of a nightmare, abstract piggy banks, tree fountains in the style of Tim Burton, and neon lights. Jordan was certain that they would be impactful when collaborating together.

Parties

When Jordan and his bandmates lived in the house, they were known for throwing wild parties. Jordan freely admits that his group has been known to throw a few parties. He mentioned that his neighbors were understanding, and he also mentioned that he and his nearest neighbors have a “don’t call the cops policy,” which means that they text each other when they are being too loud.

Dr. Phil, Jordan’s renowned father, always gives a call ahead of time before he comes over. “He is really, really good about never coming over unannounced,” Jordan mentioned, laughing.

His Properties

Over the course of his career, Dr. Phil has sold a number of significant properties, including this peculiar house. The television host and his wife, Robin, sold their Mediterranean villa in Beverly Hills for a total of $12 million the following year (2011).

There is a main house, a guesthouse, an outdoor dining room, and a swimming pool on the fenced-in property that is nearly three-quarters of an acre in size and is gated. The primary residence has a foyer that spans two stories, a theater, a gymnasium, eight bedrooms, and nine full bathrooms.

Self-Made Star

Jordan McGraw, who is 31 years old, is just starting out as a musician. He began playing the guitar when he was 15 years old and has been putting a lot of effort into developing a career that has been fairly successful. It may appear that McGraw has received assistance from his father in pursuing a career in music, but in reality, Jordan has been working away for many years in order to establish a name for himself in the industry.

Jordan has been a musician for the past 15 years, during which time he has been a member of three different bands and is now pursuing solo endeavors. In the latter part of 2019, he released a single in collaboration with the actress Sarah Hyland.

Moving On

Since moving in, Jordan has been having a great deal of fun there, despite the fact that he is currently on tour with the Jonas Brothers as the opening act for the band. He has made it his own by installing a recording studio and a candy wall, and ultimately he has decorated the house exactly how he envisioned it when he first bought it.

In spite of the fact that people on the internet make fun of him, Jordan adores his home and is pleased with the things he has accomplished there. On his YouTube channel, he even uploaded a number of videos that contained footage shot inside the house.

On Tour

The Jonas Brothers are currently on tour to promote their fifth studio album, and Jordan, who has been working on his musical career for years, is finally getting his break as the opening act for the tour.

On multiple occasions, he has expressed how much he is enjoying the tour and disclosed that he and the brothers have more fun backstage than they do on stage. In doing so, he has assuaged the concerns of the readers by reassuring them that they are having a good time on stage. If the brothers have been to McGraw’s eccentric mansion, we can’t help but wonder what they thought of it, we’re dying to know what they did think of it.
