Known for their luxurious lifestyle, Teresa and Louie\u2019s financial issues have been the subject of speculation for months.

The 7,728-square-foot mansion \u2014 complete with a home theater, pool, and custom-designed kitchen \u2014 has been listed for $3.4 million in an effort to generate immediate cash. The property, once touted as Teresa\u2019s \u201cdream home,\u201d could now become the key to salvaging their financial future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Real estate insiders say interest in the home is high due to its celebrity ownership, but the sale is unlikely to cover the full extent of their debt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
