And other sweet perks inside the massive mansion.
How about a refreshing Hawaiian Punch — on tap?
YouTuber David Dobrik has a brand-new $9.5 million house in Los Angeles with a sweet perk: a Hawaiian Punch fountain.
“This is my favorite part of the entire house … It’s a water fountain like you get at school, but instead of water, check it out —” the 24-year-old says in a video as he slurps red fruit punch flowing from the fountain. “It’s fruit punch. It’s freaking ridiculous!”
The Gen-Z prankster said the idea came from the 2002 Adam Sandler movie “Mr. Deeds,” about a man who inherits a lavish fortune — including a mansion with a Hawaiian Punch fountain.
Apparently, the movie left an impression.
“This is from the movie ‘Mr. Deeds.’ I’ve always wanted one,” says Dobrik, who was the fifth-most watched YouTuber in 2019, with 2.4 billion views, according to YouTube Rewind 2019.
The six-bedroom, seven-bathroom house also has a 300-bottle wine room, a movie theater, a jukebox, a pool table, three fireplaces, sculptures, murals and an Iron Man suit. Neon signs around the house say phrases like “Proud but not satisfied.” The 0.6-acre yard includes a basketball court, an infinity pool and a two-seated swing deck, the listing shows.
His friends and co-YouTubers Taylor and Ella helped him customize the house. In return, he surprised them with a new Mercedes and a new Audi on camera. realtor.comOne important addition to the home is a TV-ready recording studio, with blue-light signs for his podcast “Views,” geometric back-lit wall tiles and wooden bookshelves.
Dobrik paused making content at the start of the pandemic, but he decided to design a space that could safely accommodate guests for his show. Everyone who enters the space is COVID tested, and he plans to start posting on YouTube at least once a week, starting with a new Halsey interview, he says in the video.
