Why is she living in this house ? She's a millionaire, from of family of millionnaires, why would she live in such in such destitute circumstances ? Is it a crashing pad that she only uses when she and Martin want to escape Gwyneth ? Is it an investment place that she's hoping to upgrade with this video ? What is it ?
It's a great house! Much nicer than the palatial tombs the where the Kardashians dwell.

At least she seems to be smart with her $, this could've been lindsay Lohan, but she blew all of her $ on shopping and the chatue marmont. $800K in one year I read years ago. Now she's trying to get whatever work she can get to survive, because she killed her once storied movie career by not being focused. All of the other party girls she ran with in her heyday like the Hilton sisters and Nichole Richie, all came from genuinely wealthy families and they knew they could party and act crazy and would always still have money.
Not the case with Lohan. Her family depended on her film career for money and she messed that up with her wild partying and drug addiction. She didn't come from a gigantic pile of money and now she has no career to speak of. At least Dakota was smart enough to do what Lohan never did and that's to buy a house to live in and invest, instead of blowing millions at expensive hotels around the world.

I’m terms of chemicals it depends what type of pool you have. If you have a salt water pool you use far less chemicals. And you can choose not to heat it or even not have a heating system for it. It’s LA- there would be like 3 months at the most when you don’t use it. And you can clean it yourself and have automatic cleaners plugged to your water. Yes you use water initially but their are environmental alternatives to what else you were saying. So I vote get a bigger pool and use the fucker for laps and relaxing with friends.

In 1975, while an international relief coordinator with Food for the Hungry, she began visiting with refugees at Hope Village outside Sacramento, California.

It astounds me that any person, no matter how much dough-ray-mee you had, would want to exist in a space that far exceeds your needs. I'm never impressed when I see those mega-mansions. All I see is unnecessary costs.
I'll never know, but I thought the point of having money is too be as unobtrusive and inconspicuous as possible, yet constructed and stocked with the best that money can buy.
I agree with the consensus here. That's a terrific house.
Off-topic, but I LOVED "50 Shades of Grey" and for a reason related to the topic of this thread.
A friend begged me to go with her and I relented. 5 minutes in, I tuned out the actors, the dialog, the plot and concentrated on the set designer's decisions.
It actually was great fun to see how he or she incorporated, well, 50 shades of grey into the colors of the walls, paintings, floors, carpets. furniture, even when scenes were not placed at the millionaire boyfriends home.
They even made sure to film in grey skies.
I found it all to be great fun to see how much grey I could pick out concentrating on the set designs.

Chair in the kitchen at the beginning is odd. Colour of kitchen is not the best green but each to their own. The house is much nicer as it is than some designer going in and adding a sterile feel to it.

Maybe she's stunning in person. She sure doesn't registre well on screen. That being said I've never seen her in anything, apart from a dreadful Gadagnino movie that was supposed to be a remake of french film ' la piscine '. She was doing the Jane Birkin part, and she was unnoticeable, but everyone else was terrible, the movie was botched and made no sense, all the 4 actors were badly miscast and there was a 30 years gap between the 3 leads whereas they're supposed to be lifelong frenemies. But I suppose that Gadagnino (is he the ugliest man in the world ?) doesn't care about such trivial things as script or casting. He's an ARTIST.

Don Johnson Money Trouble
Company owned by former Miami Vice star files for bankruptcy to protect Johnson's Colorado ranch
From $8 billion to bankrupt: Don Johnson's money woes have made headlines...again.
The actor, who was ultimately cleared in a potential money-laundering investigation last year, has filed for bankruptcy on one of his companies.
According to published reports, the move was meant to save his Pitkin County, Colorado, ranch from being sold at auction (and you thought he'd squandered it all on pastel suits and penny loafers).
Timber Doodle Glade Equity Venture LLC, a company masterminded by the former Miami Vice star, filed for Chapter 11 on April 14 in Denver Bankruptcy Court, the Rocky Mountain News reported over the weekend.
Johnson's bankruptcy attorney, Lee Kutner, told the paper Friday that Timber Doodle is one of two entities that hold title to the Woody Creek property that Johnson purchased from Aspen socialite Terry Butler in 1987, which includes 13 acres of land, a main residence and three guest houses.
Sonny Crockett's alter ego filed for bankruptcy after the City National Bank of Los Angeles filed a lawsuit in Pitkin County in March asking the court for permission to auction off the ranch to collect $930,000 Johnson owes the bank.
A Los Angeles County Court judge ruled in September that Johnson owed the bank $921,891 and $21,891 in legal fees.
Seeking to downplay the stain of bankruptcy, Johnson's publicist, Elliot Mintz, said his client was simply in the process of refinancing the ranch and needed to file for bankruptcy just to buy some time from creditors.
"The words sale or foreclosure have not entered into the discussions," Mintz, who described the property as "paradise," told the Rocky Mountain News.
Former owner Butler, who sold the ranch to Johnson 16 years ago, estimated the property's value at $10 million. It has become the thesp's primary home--he rents a second residence in Los Angeles.
Just last year, it appeared the erstwhile Nash Bridges star was suffering from a surplus of cash when German customs officials uncovered financial documents showing $8 billion in assets in a car driven by the actor over the Swiss-German border.
[quote] Don Johnson got paid 19 million for Nash Bridges as was owed money on the back end in 2013. This is on top of what he earned as a fee per episode of 150,000 that would have increased after the first year.He is not broke. That grocery thing was in 2004 and was an error.
He’s had his share of financial problems. The bottom line is: We don’t know what these people are truly worth.
Johnson, who was allegedly on a Mercedes-Benz shopping expedition, maintained that the bank notes belonged to another passenger and were to be used to help secure financial backing for a potential movie deal.
Authorities later validated this claim and apologized to Johnson for leaking the story to the media.

The only things I know about her is that she's "HW royalty" and she starred in 50 Shades franchise. (and the Ellen takedown) But now that I've read about her, I'm impressed. She doesn't post on social media, she doesn't dress like a starlet, she doesn't have chiclet veneers, no breast implants, has a seemingly modest lifestyle for someone with her background and means, survived crazy parenting, and creates very little/next to no gossip. When I saw all the books, I wondered if she'd actually read them. Now I don't doubt so much.
She seems like the type who'll give up acting and turn to production or directing.

OK that was research Thank you sir. R 142. This little house was much better BEFORE Dako' made it the sad 70's dump that it is now. Also it's obvious that nobody wanted it, even though it's an architect house, even for the puny 3.25 millions. And that girl made probably over 10 millions with her lame-ass shades of crap movies, not including the merch', so she could definitely have bought a legit modern house in a more fashionable area, so obviously this is all she could afford with what she has left after Don's family costs are covered. I am now suspecting that the hideous second hand fourniture also come from a pawnshop. Poor Dakota, no wonder she's reduced to accepting Guadagnino 's offers. A dollar is a dollar. She must be a sandwich close to a go-fund-me. Little gurl is very loyal to daddy. Melanie should say something.

So Dakota has been the bread earner in between and still is. He's too far into debts to really recover. I found it odd that she had a nice oriental rug in her kitchen. She probably has nowhere to put it and doesn't want to sell it yet. It might mean a little extra cash later. I bet she doesn't want them to see her bedroom because of the matresses scattered on the floor. I bet they're all hiding in there the whole time. That's why she's so eager to see them leave. And she obviously can't pay a gardner. There's weed everywhere, between stones, tiles etc. Sad.

R158 I'm sure that's true. Dakota probably rents it out as an AirBnB. (This would explain how she pays the bills for the entire family, including Melanie, Don and all of the half siblings, OP. She probably only rents out the bottom, so Don can stay safely hidden upstairs).
Slightly off topic, it seems Chris' bug eyes are a dominant gene. Both his kids have them too. I feel bad for the potential upcoming children with Dakota, who is a plain Jane herself.

If you're relying on AD for an accurate look into the lives of the wealthy and famous, you're barking up the wrong tree. This is probably a house she lives in for maybe a month out of the year. All of the AD "home tour" houses are like that. Celebrities don't show off their actual living spaces because they know better than that, at best it'll fuck with their public image and at worst it'll attract stalkers.
That being said, I HATE Dakota. Her takedown of Ellen was cool but I don't buy this down-to-earth bullshit for a second, not when she's from the family she comes from and has had her career handed to her on a silver platter. She seems rude and self-interested and desperate for praise.
Give it a few months and I'm sure her true bitchiness will be revealed to the world and she'll be cancelled on Twitter. I've always said that it's foolish to make down-to-earth-super-nice-and-funny-girl-next-door your vibe when you're famous. It always comes back to bite those people in the ass.

The bitchiness you mention can only come from actors/actresses who have had to fight to build a career without help and make their own way in the industry (i.e. JLaw), not with someone who in your own words has had it "handed to her on a silver platter".
