Madonna pays $10 million for London mansion

Pop superstar Madonna paid seven million pounds (9.9 million dollars) for a house in one of London’s trendiest suburbs, Britain’s top-selling Sun tabloid reported. The singer, who has a three-month-old son with British film director Guy Ritchie, has said she wants to spend more time in England, where Ritchie’s career is based.

Madonna, whose fortune is estimated at more than 200 million dollars, has often publicly complained about the high price of British houses and the “damp and cold” properties available. Her four-storey Georgian house in Notting Hill, West london, is undergoing extensive renovation be-fore she moves in with Ritchie, baby Rocco and her three-year-old daughter Lourdes from a previous relationship.

Madonna is due to perform her first British concert after seven years at London’s Brixton Academy on November 28 for a specially invited audience. “This is a chance to get my feet wet on stage again and a way to say thank you to an intimate group of fans for all their support over the years,” she said in an announcement carried by the BBC, “It’s a party that 3,500 people are invited to — and I am going to sing a few songs at my party.”
