im Carrey has finally sold his sprawling Brentwood mansion after years of slashing prices. The 63-year-old actor's home, which he owned for over two decades, was listed at $US17 million ($A26 million), a significant discount from its original price.

    Carrey first put the property on the market in early 2023 with an asking price of $28.9 million ($A44.2 million). However, after multiple failed sales and price cuts, he finally found a buyer last week. The sale marks a 41 per cent discount from the original listing price.

    The 11,000-square-foot ranch-style home boasts five bedrooms, nine bathrooms, six fireplaces, and modernized amenities such as a tennis court, waterfall pool, yoga area, and an Art Deco movie theatre with popcorn concession. Carrey purchased the property in 1994 for $3.8 million ($A5.81m) after his breakout success in films like "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective" and "Dumb and Dumber".

    The sale comes at a time when Carrey's career is uncertain, with recent speculation about his financial difficulties. In an interview, he revealed that he had to backtrack on his plans for retirement due to financial struggles, admitting that he needed the money from his role in "Sonic the Hedgehog 3". Despite this, he still made a profit on the sale of his home.

    Graham Larson of Sotheby's International Realty represented Carrey in the sale, while the buyer was repped by Sam Collins, David Parnes, and James Harris.
