Beverly Hills Home Dies Hard: Bruce Willis Sells for $5.5M Below Asking Price

Let’s see if we can’t write an article about Bruce Willis without including 79 references to Die Hard.

C’mon. It’ll be fun.

(That one doesn’t count.)

So, yes, Bruce Willis, who’s got 98 other acting credits to his name, has finally—FINALLY!—sold his Beverly Hills hacienda … only fifteen months after he listed it for sale.

Oof.

The house, which he bought in 2004 for $9 million, was originally listed last spring for—get this—$22 million. That would have been a profit of $13 million in just ten years, but reports are the place finally sold for only about $16.5 million.

Moonrise Kingdom‘s favorite police officer has got his hands in real estate all over the country: he’s got two places in New York (one of which overlooks Central Park), another house in Los Angeles, and his sprawling Idaho compound—which has been on the market for almost three years.

Jinkies.

The star of Looper might—perhaps—want to rethink how he’s pricing his offerings.

Maybe.

Where were we? Oh, right!

Beverly Hills … the good folks at TMZ say the upscale digs were sold to the CEO of Restoration Hardware—who’s also the head of Lucky Brand Jeans—David DeMattei.

The home, which was listed and sold by Branden Williams of Hilton & Hyland, has 11—yes, ELEVEN—bedrooms and ten bathrooms, and the house is just over 10,000 square feet.

That’s a big piece of real estate, by any estimation—even for a guy with two Emmy Awards and a Golden Globe.

We’re glad Bruce Willis was finally able to cast off the shackles of at least one house he’d been looking to jettison. Poor guy: his Pulp Fiction street cred only goes so far 20 years later.

(And we didn’t make one reference. Not one. Yippee ki-yay!)


Dang it!
