Brad Pitt is making an unbelievable profit after buying his house for $1.7 million

Brad Pitt has sold his Los Feliz home in California for a staggering amount.

The Bullet Train actor has spent nearly 30 years at the same address, which he bought just seven years after becoming one of Hollywood's biggest stars.

However, the 59-year-old is leaving a lifetime of memories behind him as he cashes in on a staggering profit from the property.

Pitt reportedly bought the luxury pad after starring in Interview with a Vampire in 1994, which made him a household name.

Rather fittingly he bought the property from actress Cassandra Peterson, who played the vampiric Elvira: Mistress of the Dark in the cult eighties film.

Costing him just $1.7 million (£1.36m), Pitt spent several decades enjoying the home’s private swimming pool, palm-tree-filled garden and secluded outdoor dining area.

The Babylon star was also reportedly obsessed with architecture and made major renovations to the home, similar to his appearance on Celebrity IOU.

Sadly, we’ll never get to see the stunning interiors as he privately listed the home when he put it on the market earlier this year.

Though you couldn’t get most of us out the door, the actor has made over $38 million (£30.4m) in profit as he allegedly downsizes after his kids have grown up.

In a 2017 interview with GQ, Pitt revealed that Los Feliz home had been his kids ‘childhood home’ - despite him owning several properties in the US.

Along with his children, Maddox, Zahara, Shiloh, Knox and Vivienne, Pitt also lived with his now ex-wife Angelina Jolie.

The pair originally met on the set of Mr & Mrs Smith in 2003, whilst Pitt was still married to Friends actress Jennifer Aniston.

However, he and Jolie would eventually split in 2005 after finalising his divorce from Aniston.

Whilst the couple were happy together for the best part of a decade, Jolie and Pitt also divorced in 2016 - citing irreconcilable differences.

In the same GQ interview, Pitt admitted that alcohol had become a problem during his second marriage.

“I can't remember a day since I got out of college when I wasn't boozing or had a spliff, or something. And I'm running from feelings. I stopped everything except boozing when I started my family. But even this last year [...] I was boozing too much,” he the magazine. Adding “It's just become a problem. You either deny them all of your life or you answer them and evolve.”

Hopefully, the new home will be a new start for the actor.
