It's been floating around for about a week now that, following major surgery, Zsa Zsa Gabor is planning on selling her house in Bel Air. Howard Hughes built the four bedroom on Bel Air Road in 1955 and Elvis lived there in the sixties, but today it's not in the greatest shape. Recently, Gabor's husband, Frederic Prinz von Anhalt, who became titled in his thirties when he was adult-adopted by a German princess, held a press event at the house and told everyone the pair can't afford not to sell, but that they've "already been inundated with calls from interested buyers, many from China and Russia, who are interested in owning the house for the investment and bragging rights," according to the LA Times. There are a lot of numbers swirling around this whole thing, many a little fishy, so for the Chinese, the Russian, and the curious in the crowd, here's a helpful guide to the Gabor house sale, by the numbers: UPDATE: A Huffington Post reader disputes the LAT's claim that Howard Hughes built this house.
