A lender has foreclosed on the massive Woodland Hills home of YouTubers Austin and Catherine McBroom.
Rumors have swirled for months that the couple, who broke through as celebrity influencers by showcasing a lavish lifestyle on their ACE Family YouTube channel, are in dire financial straits, according to Business Insider.
A October 19 foreclosure auction for the property ended with no bids, returning it to lender 5 Arch Funding Corporation.
The McBrooms currently have around 19 million subscribers to the ACE Family YouTube channel, where they regularly feature their home in videos.
They bought the 12,000-square-foot home for $10.1 million in 2019, a year after it was built. The property was designed as two separate homes and later combined.
The McBrooms were served with a notice of default issued by a debt collection company in May, giving them 90 days to pay back $8.7 million owed to their lender.
In August, a notice of trustee’s sale was sent, notifying them that the property would be auctioned with a starting price of $9.3 million. A buyer would have had to pay for the home with cash.
