Justin Bieber's house in Beverly Hills becomes viral meme as people compare it to Avengers HQ and community college
Justin Bieber’s $8.5 million Beverly Hills mansion is where he and his wife Hailey are currently filming TikToks/self-isolating, but one of the singer’s previous homes has recently become a meme online.
After a Twitter user shared a picture of the futuristic home and claimed they had “NEVER SEEN A HOUSE UGLIER”, a number of users gave their own opinions - comparing it to everything from Avengers HQ to “a stack of CDs.”
Designed by Ed Niles, TMZ reported that the glass-covered house in Beverly Hills was being rented by Bieber for $60,000 a month in 2014.
At 6,500 square feet with six bedrooms, he eventually moved out of it and spends his time in a different Beverly Hills home and in a second home in Canada.

Once the photo hit Twitter last week, it sparked a chain of memes and people goofing on the futuristic-looking house.
One user posted a side by side of the house and the Avengers training facility, writing, “Biebs moves into avengers HQ and the world falls apart and y’all surprised.”

Another wrote the script to another Avengers film in response.
Me: Mom I want Avengers HQ
Mom: No, we have Avengers HQ at home

And then one claimed his “house parties are wildd” with a screencap of Avengers team members standing in a row.

Thunderbirds fans also drew comparisons between the home and Tracy Island, with one user saying it would “definitely fit in.”

One creative user with too much time on their hands went above and beyond, photoshopping in Thunderbirds vehicles.

Others also asked why Bieber lived in a “mall”, a “conference centre”, “public library”, “small arena” or “hospital.”
One also joked that it looked like “if Amazon made a community college.”

Many also saw comparisons between the mansion and daily household items.
A user also shared a picture of blue see-through hamster tunnels, writing, “My hamster had something similar.”

And then others also compared it to a stack of CDs, with one sharing a picture of “the house in question.”

Then in an eerie side by side, another shared a picture of a food processor.

There were also plenty of gaming references.
The house was compared to a “research center of a SimCity expansion pack”, as well as a “pokemon training centre.”

A few drew ties between the house and some classic British locations, including the LC Swansea swimming pool in Wales.

Others also compared it to the BBC Television Centre.

The biggest twist in the tale came when somebody pointed out that it appeared to be the same house used in a music video by YouTuber Jake Paul.
Lol that's the house from the Jake Paul music video. I hate that I immediately recognized it https://t.co/HVuE3jbwlH

The house features in the background of the controversial YouTuber’s song ‘It’s Everyday Bro’ along with his posse of Team 10 members.
As with Bieber’s song 'Baby', the video is also one of the top ten most disliked videos on YouTube.
As many Bieber’s fans reminded critics in the comments, Bieber does not currently live at the house anymore.
Instead, he is self-isolating with wife Hailey Baldwin and their cats (who he set up an Instagram account for).

Their new - and objectively more beautiful home - was designed by Charles Infante and features a retro conversation pit, large couch and tropical-print wallpaper
Before this all happened, he wrote, “Home vibes, but I wanna sell it I think anyone interested?”
