Televangelists Jan and Paul Crouch of the Costa Mesa-based Trinity Broadcasting Network purchased a Newport Beach house for close to $5 million. The home is a palatial estate with ocean and city views. The three-story 9,500 square foot house has an elevator, six-car garage, tennis court, pool with a fountain, six bedrooms, nine bathrooms, billiard room climate-controlled wine cellar, a sweeping staircase and crystal chandelier (from us of course).

We sold them a few select pieces and I have seen them at many antique auctions around the country. They are very nice people with the gift of gab which is very useful when raising money for the Lord.
