Michael's GTA 5 Mansion: What is the Real-Life Cost?

If you want to own the luxurious 3-bedroom mansion that comes with its own pool, tennis court and garage you're going to need to cough up big time.

Michael's mansion in GTA 5 is upmarket to say the least

As a multi-millionaire criminal who struck a deal with the authorities to facilitate his disappearance, it's fair to assume that Michael didn't have to spend this much within the lore of GTA 5.

On top of the outlandish cost of the property, you would then need to insure it which would come at a real-world approximate cost of £476 a year. That would hopefully cover building and contents but could fluctuate depending on what you want covering.
