Shigeki Maruyama's house for sale at a bargain price: $16.5 million (down from $19.8 million)

Here is more proof — not that any was necessary — that we're in the wrong line of work: Shigeki Maruyama's house in Los Angeles' Bel-Air neighborhood is up for sale. Asking price: $16.5 million.

Now, Maruyama, 44, has had a nice career — three PGA Tour victories, 10 Japan Golf Tour wins, $13.8 million in career earnings on PGA Tour, but a $16.5 million, 13,339-square foot house?

Should he get that price (reduced from its original price of $19.8 million), he'll turn nearly a $9 million profit from the purchase price of $7.6 million (in 2004), according to the Los Angeles Times.
