After Bishop Jakes moved to Fort Worth, he purchased this 14,045 square foot mansion for $5.5 million in December 2004, which was a pretty good bargain considering the original price tag for the home was $7 million. The estate features 4 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms (including 2 partial baths), and sits on 17.8 acres of land.

Though TD Jakes home was built in 1979, it underwent a massive, 3-year-long renovation in the 90s and was finally completed in 1997. The architecture is a beautifully blended combination of both contemporary and modern design, and the interior of the residence features vaulted ceilings, 3 fireplaces, and a wide variety of different types of flooring that includes marble, wood, carpet, and stone. Amenities include a wet bar, guest house, 7-car garage, a sports court, and a swimming pool with an attached spa.   

And, as if the above-mentioned home wasn't enough, The Jakes purchased the home next door just 2 months later, in February 2005. The 6,236 square foot home sold for an undisclosed amount, but property records show it's worth well over $1.2 million today.
