Somebody got a great deal yesterday when they bought R. Kelly's Illinois mansion at foreclosure.

Kells had taken out a $3.5 million mortgage to build the home in 1997, but was forced to sell it yesterday for only $950,000. According to TMZ, he'd stopped making payments on the 20,000-square-foot home in 2011. It boasts six bedrooms, eight baths, an indoor pool, a theater room and a private lake.
