Media billionaire Haim Saban is asking $12 million for an Acapulco estate that Time Warner has used to entertain clients and movie stars for decades.
Saban, a Mighty Morphin Power Ranger money-producing machine, sold Fox Family Worldwide in 2001 for $5.1 billion to Walt Disney Co. The network was renamed ABC Family Channel, and Saban as an individual profited about $1.6 billion from the sale.

The property for sale is a 3-acre gated compound in the Las Brisas community. Think Beverly Park of Acapulco with enough celebrities in the neighborhood to make even Perez Hilton happy. It has 12 bedrooms, 17 bathrooms and servants' quarters. There are indoor and outdoor tennis courts, two pools and a "wellness center" with individual massage rooms. The 25,000-square-foot house has views of Acapulco Bay. I believe I've stayed in hotels smaller than this place. Guests have included Julia Roberts, Owen Wilson, Barbra Streisand and Bill and Hillary Clinton, according to the listing agent.
Saban, 63, founder of Saban Entertainment and Fox Family Worldwide, was ranked last year by Forbes as the 102nd richest person in America, with a net worth estimated at $3.4 billion.
In the 1990s, his company became known for the production of "Power Rangers," "Masked Rider" and other Western adaptations of Japanese shows. He also wrote the theme song for "Inspector Gadget." Saban owns a home on Malibu's exclusive Carbon Beach.
