Two years went into the making of her debut album, but the results were worth it. Not only did the album establish her as an important new recording artist, but it went on to sell over 13 million copies in the U.S., plus many millions more abroad. “I Will Always Love You,” the first single release, became the biggest selling single by a female artist in history, and reaped GRAMMYs for Record Of the Year and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. Three other singles from the album, “I’m Every Woman,” “I Have Nothing,” and “Run To You,” also were major international hits for Whitney. The Bodyguard soundtrack album, featuring six Whitney Houston songs in all, has sold more than 45 million copies worldwide. At 18-times platinum in the U.S., it is the biggest selling motion picture soundtrack album in history, ahead of Saturday Night Fever, Forrest Gump, Titanic, and so on.

The film not only broke box office records worldwide but was ultimately responsible for the biggest selling motion picture soundtrack album of all time, voted the GRAMMY-winning Album Of the Year. Houston’s former mansion, the site of her wedding to Bobby Brown in 1992, includes five bedrooms, five bathrooms, a six-car garage and 13 skylights. Houston added a game room, a media room, a professional recording studio, a tennis court, a pool house and an in-ground pool, according to real estate agent Gregory Taylor, who listed the house. Late singer Whitney Houston's home in Mendham, New Jersey has been listed on the market for $1.6 million, according to the New York Post. She used the residence as her guest house when, at the time of her residing there, it had her own recording studio where she wrote her famous songs.

Krauthamer impressed the salespeople because "he was so vested in the legacy of the house," Deyo said. "People in my office are so happy to see it go to someone who is going to love it as much as she did." Krauthamer said he couldn’t get into the Houston house but was able to get a look at Chapel Hill, an 18-room castle-style residence that was once known as St. Hilda’s Lodge. Built in 1918, Chapel Hill was designed by former Mendham mayor and architect William Cordingley, who lived there until 1965.

"When I picked it up, all I could hear was screaming," she wrote in her 2013 book Remembering Whitney. "'Oh, Mommy! It's Nippy! It's Nippy!' It was my son Gary on the line and he was hysterical." Word spread like wildfire among Whitney's small entourage, including manager and sister-in-law Pat and Whitney's brother Gary. Seconds later Whitney's longtime bodyguard Ray Watson (one of Pat Houston's brothers), who had been standing watch outside in the hall, ran in too. A new remix of “How Will I Know” by Whitney Houston x Clean Bandit was released in September 2021, and an official biopic, titled I Wanna Dance with Somebody, was released in theaters in December 2022. Whitney’s contributions continue to touch the hearts and souls of millions of fans the world over.

Whitney played the role of the mother, Emma, as well as being Executive Producer of the film. Along with Sparkle, Whitney had been working on a remake of a Judy Garland film and a Waiting To Exhale sequel. The following year saw the release of Just Whitney (December 2002), her fifth studio album and first for the new millennium. An A-list of handpicked hitmakers and producers contributed to the album, among them Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds, Missy Elliott, Kevin “She’kspere” Briggs, Teddy Bishop and Gordon Chambers.

Situated behind a circular driveway, the home features an iron door, a fully paneled library, a living room with floor-to-ceiling windows, a family room, a dining room and a chef’s kitchen with a breakfast nook. There is also a bar, an exercise room and an open media room, according to the listing. Located on a 0.6-acre cul-de-sac lot in Country Club of the South, a gated community, the home has 7,734 square feet of living space with five bedrooms and seven bathrooms, according to the listing with Peggy Connors of Keller Williams Realty, posted in late October.

Calling her "a beautiful person" with "a talent beyond compare," he noted, "Whitney would have wanted the music to go on and her family asked us to carry on." "Nobody makes me do anything I don't want to do," Houston had told ABC News' Diane Sawyer in her infamous "crack is whack" interview in 2002, in which she acknowledged using cocaine and other drugs. "The biggest devil is me. I'm either my best friend or my worst enemy." But, she also said, "I am not self-destructive. I'm a person who has life, and wants to live."

With back-to-back #1 hits for the title tune and “All The Man That I Need,” followed by “Miracle” and “My Name Is Not Susan,” sales records were set once again, as the album became an international multi-platinum best-seller, to the tune of 10 million copies worldwide. With the highly anticipated release of her second album Whitney (June 1987), she made history as the first female artist to enter the Billboard album charts at #1. The luxury Georgia mansion was once owned by Whitney Houston, one of the best selling music artists of all time. Now the property where Houston and husband Bobby Brown lived out the end of their marriage is on the market for nearly $2 million.

Houston bought the home, built in 2001, for $1.39 million in 2003, records accessed through PropertyShark show. She sold it at a loss for $1.19 million in 2007 to the current owner, who was not immediately available for comment. The manor, which has eclectic architectural elements drawn from gothic, church and Arts and Crafts traditions, was listed at $2.8 million initially when it was put on the market in 2006 after extensive renovations that included a two-story theater. Krauthamer purchased it for $920,000, according to records on file at the Morris County clerk’s office.

Billboard 200 with sales of 305,000 copies and was her first studio album to reach #1 since 1992’s The Bodyguard. The album spawned two hit singles – the title track which became a Top 20 R&B single and “Million Dollar Bill” which hit the Top 10 in several countries worldwide. A promotional single, “Nothin’ But Love,” taken from the album was released to U.K. Radio stations to promote what was to be her final tour – the Nothing But Love World Tour. Whitney added the medium of made-for-television movies to her list of accomplishments when The Wonderful World of Disney aired the musical Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella in November 1997. The special starred Whitney as the Fairy Godmother, Brandy as Cinderella, Bernadette Peters as the wicked stepmother, Whoopi Goldberg as the queen, and an all-star multicultural cast.

Unsurprisingly, the garden ideas are equally as therapeutic, boasting a large swimming pool (plus a separate bathing pool) and an al-fresco dining space that is spacious enough for entertaining a large group of guests. Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown's former home on the outskirts of Atlanta is on the market for $1.9 million. Tragically, Houston’s daughter with Brown, Bobbi Kristina Brown, died in 2015, after she was found unconscious in a bathtub. The “I Have Nothing” singer was laid to rest at Fairview Cemetery in Westfield following her funeral at the New Hope Baptist Church in Newark, where she sang as a child.

Whitney Houston’s former home in Mendham has sold for its asking price of $1,599,000, New Jersey Monthly can exclusively reveal. The Queen of Pop purchased the five-bedroom property, located at 1014 Tullamore Place, in 2003 for $1.38 million. The 8,022-square-foot Alpharetta, Georgia, mansion, where Brown’s 2005 reality show was filmed, is asking $1.9 million.
