Quarter of a Million Home Rental - as part of the news series by GeoBeats.

The rental market is said to be hot these days across the board - imagine what it'd cost to rent a celebrity's home. Something to the tune of let’s say, quarter of a million bucks per month. At least that’s the listed price to lease the contemporary home of James Bond actor, Pierce Brosnan and his wife Keely Shaye Smith. The 13,000-square-foot Malibu beachfront home boasts “high ceilings, walls of glass, a screening room with a bar, a music room, a library, a wine cellar, a Japanese-style soaking tub, a sauna, a steam room, a cold plunge tub and a gym.“ The mini palace contains 4 bedrooms along with 12 bathrooms and it is protected by a jaw-dropping $750,000 security deposit.

Earlier this year, another celebrity decided to rent out his Malibu private paradise. Leonardo DiCaprio placed his home featuring 7 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms and 2,633 square feet on the market. He even offered potential tenants a deal: $150,000 a month for a short-term lease, meaning less than six months, or $75,000 a month to those wishing to dwell at the ocean-front property longer.
