Funds were raised for numerous causes involving children around the world, from South Africa to Newark, and generated over $300,000 for the Children’s Defense Fund as a result of a 1997 HBO concert.

Set on 5 rolling acres, the ranch-style property also has a personalized built-in recording studio that Houston often utilized.

More than 40 million people watched the Grammys on Feb. 12 and, considering the precipitous 30 percent drop in the ratings the following year, a big portion of viewers tuned in to see how the ceremony dubbed "music's biggest night" handled the tragedy. She hadn't seen her daughter since Christmas, but they'd talked a few times and Whitney had vowed to come visit after the Grammys, she wrote. Cissy shared that the last thing Whitney said to her was, "I'll be home soon, Mommy. I promise." Sometime on Friday, Feb. 10, 2012, Whitney called her mother, as Cissy recounted in her book. Whitney's mother, Cissy Houston, recalled the phone ringing that night at her home in New Jersey.

Beyond the winding staircase, there are 4 of the five bedrooms, a spacious closet, and a viewing terrace that overlooks the verdant woodland surrounding the country club. The primary suite also features a private coffee bar and an en-suite with a soaking tub. There is also a gym and a games room that could be renovated into a home office, depending on the buyer's desires. The 0.6-acre, 5-bedroom property is located in the 'Country Club of the South' – a gated community in Georgia.

The autopsy determined Houston's official cause of death to be accidental drowning, with atherosclerotic heart disease and cocaine use "just probably immediately prior" to drowning listed as contributing factors. The final coroner's report released in April 2012 stated that a "spoon with a white crystal like substance in it" was found in the room, as was "a plethora of prescription medication bottles," along with an open bottle of champagne, food and other personal items. A small mirror found in a drawer had "a white powdery substance" on it, the report also noted. "I was due to report to work...I was going in the direction where I needed to go, and I was instructed to call for help, and that's what I did." "I got her out of the water and tried to revive her," Watson recalled to London's Mirror.

In 2020, The Whitney E. Houston Legacy Foundation was formed as a continuation of Whitney’s journey to Rebuild lives, Restore self-esteem and Repair images through grassroots programs and initiatives for the young. Both groups as well as the families of those affected by the tragic event were to benefit from the sales. A month later in March 2000, Whitney was named Female Artist Of the Decade at the Soul Train Music Awards annual ceremonies virtually 15 years to the day since her debut single, “You Give Good Love,” entered the Billboard Hot Black Singles chart on March 9, 1985. Hunter Boyce is a writer, digital producer and journalist home grown from a Burke County, Georgia farm. Throughout his career, Hunter has gone on to write sports, entertainment, political and local breaking news for a variety of outlets.

CDs (and cassettes) were programmed so that each volume displayed the full range of Whitney’s career. Disc 1 (Cool Down), for example, built from her first hits of 1985, “You Give Good Love,” “Saving All My Love For You,” and “Greatest Love Of All,” all the way through 2000. Deyo, Krauthamer's real estate agent, said that when the Houston estate owned the house, it was difficult making headway because so many people were asking to see it.

The wood-floored patio holds a set of lounging couches, two love seats, and a three-seater couch with white cushions. The patio is surrounded by beautiful string lights that are hung just on the outer poles of it. Davis' party went on that Saturday night, a celebration that turned into a memorial concert as artists including Alicia Keys and Tony Bennett paid tribute to the fallen star. By nighttime, a makeshift shrine of flowers, candles, cards and mementos had piled up outside the hotel entrance. That surprise performance must have been heartening for anyone hoping to hear more from Whitney, whose last album was 2009's I Look to You. At the time, she had also recently wrapped her first movie in 15 years, Sparkle, with Jordin Sparks, and recorded the single "Celebrate" for the film.

Teen Summit was formed to Rebuild, Restore and Repair the lives of teens and young adults. Whitney attended the annual event and also helped Pat with Celebrity Consignment, a shop in Shelby, North Carolina which also benefits Teen Summit. Whitney not only donated clothes to the shop but was instrumental in getting celebs like Oprah Winfrey, Alicia Keys, Dionne Warwick, Diane Sawyer and others to donate as well. The rumors that songstress Whitney Houston once lived in Nellie Gail Ranch, an exclusive community in Laguna Hills, just a few miles from the Laguna Niguel border, can now be confirmed. According to TMZ, Houston purchased the five bedroom, five bathroom and two half bathroom mansion in 2003 for $1.38 million before selling the estate in 2008 at a loss — just days after finalizing her divorce with Brown.

Krauthamer, who grew up in Dix Hills, N.Y., on Long Island, said he has an extensive real-estate portfolio that includes properties in New York and Florida and several multi-family buildings in Jersey City, where he lived at one point. Last week, Krauthamer bought the house from the recent owner, CPMG Mendham of Jersey City, an investment company headed by Diego Cevallos. Krauthamer paid $1.5 million for the property after CPMG purchased it from the Houston estate in a short sale in December for $999,900.

“The former recording studio is currently a media room, gym area, office and kitchenette but could have a multitude of uses as the soundproof glass walls provide unique possibilities,” the listing says. She started singing in her church choir and became one of the best-selling recording artists of all time, amassing over 200 million record sales worldwide. That same year, Whitney became the first African-American recording artist (male or female, solo or group) with three Diamond albums, after her second album, Whitney, was certified 10x platinum. Whitney’s seventh and final studio album, I Look To You, was released on August 28, 2009 and it debuted at #1 on the U.S.

Individually, the double-CD/cassette comprised one volume of single hits (Cool Down) and another volume of memorable club mixes (Throw Down), each spanning Whitney’s entire career to date, 1985 to 2000. The luxurious home, built in 2001, features a library, billiard and media rooms, a terrace and a mahogany bar, along with vast closets that would please any diva, according to the Oct. 28 listing posted on Realtor.com. Whitney Houston's New Jersey home has three bedrooms and four bathrooms; the primary bedroom has its own massive walk-in closet and bathroom in a private hallway since it was renovated in 2016, according to Apartment Therapy.

“It’s such a unique opportunity not just to be part of a piece of history, but also to own a special home,” Liane Dobson, who holds the listing with Kienlen Lattmann Sotheby’s International Realty, told The Post. The great room opens to the backyard, which features a hot tub and a tennis court. But personal drama had for years been overshadowing the countless triumphs from her storied career, and her once-almighty voice wasn't what it was when she brought the stadium down belting out the national anthem at the 1991 Super Bowl. Later that night, on Feb. 9, Houston unexpectedly took the stage with Kelly Price, who was hosting a pre-Grammys event at Tru nightclub. Toxicology tests turned up traces of Benadryl, Xanax, marijuana and Flexeril, a muscle relaxant, in her system, but none were considered factors in her death, per the report. Assistant Chief Coroner Winter had told L.A.'s ABC 7 that Houston's prescriptions were "pretty normal" and quipped that he had more prescriptions than were found in her room.
