Gigi and Bella Hadid’s father Mohamed not only lost this real estate battle, but he’s now been ordered to pay legal fees.
A judge has instructed the supermodel sisters’ 74-year-old pop to help his neighborhood nemesis with court costs following a five-year case regarding the developer’s now-demolished mega-mansion.
Mohamed Hadid has spent a significant part of the past half-decade losing a legal battle over his enormous Bel-Air estate, a compound so sprawling it gained the nickname the Starship Enterprise, the Daily Mail reported.
The troubles with Hadid’s dream house began in 2015, when the city of Los Angeles criminally prosecuted him for failing to comply with stop work orders issued on the structure, which by that point had ballooned to some 30,000 square feet — twice the size permitted for the plot.
When, in 2018, the “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star still hadn’t shrunk his abode or torn it down, as LA had ordered, those living beneath the hilltop behemoth filed a civil suit.
Many appeals, court proceedings, and one trial later, Hadid’s neighbors were victorious: Last year, the Starship Enterprise faced the wrecking ball.
