Anna Nicole Smith's one-time lover, Howard K. Stern, finally got the last laugh in his bitter dispute with Larry Birkhead, the biological father of Smith's daughter, Danielynn. (Are you confused?) Stern just sold Smith's Studio City, Calif., home out from under Birkhead, Zillow reported -- and probably for a lot. Stern had listed the home for $1.75 million.
You're probably wondering how all this craziness happened. OK, here goes (deep inhale): After Smith died in 2007, Birkhead moved into her home with Danielynn after winning a paternity suit, but Stern wasn't having it so finally, in 2011, he got a court order to transfer the home into his name, and Birkhead was like "oh s---," so then Stern put the home up for sale, and now he's sold it. Whew! Got it?NBCLosAngeles.com reports that the buyer is "Rouzbeh Zoka, trustee of the Rouzbeh Zoka 2012 revocable trust. The trust has deposited $39,000 as part of the purchase price." The proceeds of the home, however, go to Danielynn, since she's the beneficiary of Smith's estate. But we're done talking about all that. On to the house! Whoever scored this home is going to be living like a king (or queen).
The Mediterranean-style two-story home features wrap-around balconies with a generous pool deck that overlooks the city lights of Studio City. The 4,700-square-foot home's interior has a dramatic entryway that showcases a giant painting of the late model. There's five bedrooms and 5.5 baths, wood and marble floors throughout, a living room with dual fireplaces and an open area on the bottom level for a gym.
