Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon place Bel-Air mansion on the market for nearly $13m... almost double what they paid in 2009

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon aren't only good musicians. They're also pretty savvy when it comes to real estate.
In early February the married couple listed their lavish 11,750 square foot Bel-Air mansion for $12,995,000, according to RealEstalker.
That's almost twice the price they bought it for in 2009.

Mariah and Nick bought the seven bedroom, nine bathroom mansion for $6.975 million back in 2009.

But the gated three-acre property received a no expense spared upgrade and now features a grand formal entryway, a master suite comparable to a penthouse in the finest hotels and a formal dining room with a fireplace, according to Trulia.
For entertaining, there's an enormous kitchen and an incredible Aspen room that can accommodate parties of several hundred of your closest friends.

While they are unloading their West Coast home, the couple still own an oceanfront compound on Windermere Island in the Bahamas and a massive New York City triplex.

In a recent interview with Ebony magazine, Mariah and Nick opened up about their relationship and raising their adorable twins Monroe and Moroccan.

'It was early on when I found out how spiritual she was, and we had conversations about kids and how to live life,' The America's Got Talent host said.

'For her to share these values, it instantly let me know this is the person I’ve always wanted.'

The 43-year-old Grammy winning songstress also opened up about their family life to the magazine, revealing Monroe is taking after her in the diva stakes.

‘The other night I had on a ruby and diamond necklace and earrings. Ms. Monroe looked at me and said, 'Where's my necklace?’, she said.

While they are happy to share pictures of their adorable children on social media, Nick insists the twins won't be child stars.

'Me personally, I wouldn’t put my kids on television. But to each his own. Most aspiring child actors or child stars have a passion for it.

But as easy as it is for me to say that I wouldn't put my kids in it, if I saw that they really really wanted to do and they had the drive, then I would fully support it.
As long as there’s balance at home, then they could do whatever they wanted to do.’

Nick and Mariah have been working hard to keep the romance alive in their marriage.

They lived out a fairy-tale wedding at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California in May as they renewed their vows on their fifth anniversary and celebrated the twins' second birthday.
