Jim Carrey has finally bid farewell to his Los Angeles estate, closing the deal just as he admitted his latest acting gig was less about art and more about the paycheck. An undisclosed buyer snapped up Carrey’s sprawling Brentwood sanctuary last week for $19.8 million — a cool $10 million under the original February 2023 asking price, per SFGATE.

While the five-bedroom, nine-bathroom retreat didn’t fetch its initial number, Carrey still walked away with a hefty profit, having scooped up the property for just $3.8 million back in 1994. The sale couldn’t have come at a better time as the actor recently admitted his return to the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise wasn’t exactly fueled by passion.

The 62-year-old, who once commanded $20 million per film and boasted an estimated $300 million net worth during his blockbuster heyday (Liar Liar, The Truman Show, Bruce Almighty), revealed that even Hollywood royalty has bills to pay. ‘I came back to this universe ’cause, first of all, I get to play a genius, which is a bit of a stretch, and it’s just... it’s just... I bought a lot of stuff and I need the money, frankly,’ he quipped at Sonic the Hedgehog 3’s London premiere on Monday.
