He owned a jaw-dropping Southern antebellum mansion that was based on Tara in Gone With the Wind before he sold it off in one of the biggest real estate transactions in Nashville history. After that, he and his family moved to an even more staggering hilltop estate in one of the most exclusive parts of Music City.
