A TikTokker from the United States of America (USA) showed a tour of a stunning mansion abandoned in 2015.

According to the clip uploaded by @pimpmycamel, the mansion in New Jersey belonged to a family involved in fraud. The family vanished and left the mansion, including their red BMW 750LI.

The TikTok users took a tour. The mansion had pretty much all its furniture as the owners had left it. Every room was huge, and one could see that before it was abandoned, it was stunningly beautiful. If one could take the time to clean it up, it could easily go back to that state.
