Jim Carrey’s L.A. Mansion Sells After Shocking $10M Price Drop
Jim Carrey’s L.A. Mansion Sells After Shocking $10M Price Drop.
Jim Carrey has finally sold his Los Angeles mansion after cutting the original asking price of $28.9 million by almost $10 million. This Brentwood property, featuring five bedrooms and nine bathrooms, was first listed in February 2023 but had a tough time attracting buyers for nearly two years, leading to multiple price drops. Carrey first dropped the price to $26.5 million, then to $23.95 million, and again to $21.9 million by May 2024.
In September 2024, he slashed the price one last time to $19.75 million, which finally brought in an offer for the sprawling 10,954-square-foot estate. Carrey originally bought the place for just $3.8 million back in 1994, the same year he starred in hits like Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, Dumb and Dumber, and The Mask.
The mansion, constructed in 1951, saw major renovations while Carrey owned it. This place is like a little piece of heaven, boasting a tennis court, a waterfall pool, a yoga sanctuary, a guesthouse, and a wine cellar perfect for storing fine wines. In the living room, there's a painting by Carrey called Hooray We Are All Broken, plus some cool memorabilia like the Riddler suit from Batman Forever, showcased in the home theater. Just a heads up, the art and memorabilia won't be part of the sale.
This house has some amazing architectural features, like a spacious great room with wide doorways, beautiful brick and hardwood floors, and plenty of windows and skylights. The chef’s kitchen boasts a central island and a bay window, leading into a charming curved breakfast nook and a stylish formal dining room with elegant wood details. There are also six fireplaces that add a warm and inviting vibe. One of the standout areas is the art deco theater, which has mohair fabric walls, burl wood columns, and even a popcorn concession area.
Carrey's choice to put his property on the market comes right after he opened up about some money troubles at the U.K. premiere of Sonic the Hedgehog 3. During the chat, he mentioned that he had to push back his retirement plans because of financial responsibilities, which played a big part in his decision to step back into the role of Dr. Robotnik. In his talk with the Associated Press, Carrey shared his thoughts. “You know, I came back to this universe because, first of all, I get to play a genius. Which is a bit of a stretch,” before candidly adding, “And, you know, it’s just I bought a lot of stuff, and I need the money, frankly.”
Carrey, who had announced his plans to take a break from Hollywood back in 2022, offered a more detailed view in his chat with Comicbook.com, saying. “You can’t be definite about these things. I said I’d like to retire, but I think I was talking more about ‘power-resting.’ Because as soon as a good idea comes your way or a group of people that you really enjoyed working with and stuff, it just — things tend to change.” The Grammy-nominated comedian is set to make a nice profit, especially considering how much the property's value has skyrocketed since he bought it three decades back. Jim Carrey's net worth is around $180 million, thanks to a career where he was pulling in up to $20 million for each movie.
Jim Carrey's sale of his Los Angeles mansion marks the end of an era, as the actor moves on from a beloved property that reflects his unique taste and personality. Despite facing challenges in attracting buyers, the significant price drop ultimately led to a successful sale. The mansion, with its stunning features and impressive renovations, showcases Carrey’s creativity and style.
As he transitions into the next chapter of his life, this sale will provide the comedian with the financial freedom to focus on new projects. Carrey’s career continues to thrive, and this milestone only adds to his legacy.
