If you happen to have $5 million in the bank, you could sashay away with your very own World of Wonder: RuPaul is selling his Hollywood Hills bungalow.

“This property is a developer’s dream, just waiting to command top dollar alongside its $20-million-dollar-plus neighbors in this star-studded celebrity enclave,” the house’s Wish Sotheby’s International Realty listing page raves. “Built in classic 1960s style, the existing home has been immaculately maintained and boasts floor-to-ceiling glass walls with sliding glass doors opening to the pool, spa, and breathtaking jetliner views spanning from Downtown to the Pacific and beyond. It is move-in ready, can be easily brought up to today’s standards, or completely reimagined, taking advantage of the stunning views and embodying its quintessential California lifestyle, just minutes away from hip restaurants, boutiques, and the newest hotels and clubs the Strip has to offer.”

The listing doesn’t mention Ru, but The Advocate reports the property — located “just above the world-renowned Sunset Strip in the Bird Streets, one of the most coveted neighborhoods in Los Angeles” — currently belongs to the Drag Race host and his husband, Georges LeBar. (The couple also has a ranch in Wyoming, a condo in West Hollywood, and a residence in New York City.)

The photos of the 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath house show that its 2,362 square feet are decked out in the fabulous style you’d expect from Mama Ru: vividly painted walls, geometric wallpaper, animal print furniture, and artwork of icons including Dolly Parton and Diana Ross.
And if you don’t have that $5 million lying around? You better work!

Queerty is going to have to make up its mind with the whole drag agenda…
In one article Ru Paul is a “she/her”, in the next it’s “he/him”, and it seems being in or out of drag persona makes no difference.
Which is it?
Are you now going to tell us that Ru Paul is gender-queer-fluid-ambisexual?

RuPaul doesn’t care what pronoun people use for him, so you probably shouldn’t either.

who cares????

Just the kind of sexist, self-loathing minority labelling we got caught up trying to get away from. Now nobody has a right to exist without a label. We still don’t honour character and integrity. It’s the colour of the mask. I have 6-7 masks. If you can’t keep up, jump off the wagon, darling. What you think of me is none of my business.
You are what makes gay a dirty word. Judgements that were the core of loathing that created HIV/AIDS. We are barely further ahead in self-love and acceptance.
Nail it down and get it right! Don’t screw up and let’s shame others at the same time. Suck it up buttercup! Crawl back under the rock you came from. Live it up freely or zip it up! You are 40 years behind the flow of consciousness.

Since it’s L.A. hopefully somebody doesn’t buy it, knock it down and turn it into one of those hite boxes that stretches from property line to property line.

Unwad your panties, Mary. RuPaul is noted for his indifference toward the gender-specific pronouns used to address him, as stated in his autobiography: “You can call me he. You can call me she. You can call me Regis and Kathie Lee; I don’t care! Just as long as you call me.”

I’ll buy her house if she comes with it. 25 years and running of being hopelessly crazy about her.

This might be a stupid question but is it normal for such a small house to sell for $5 million in LA?
