Dubrows take huge financial hit as they finally offload Beverly Hills mansion
On Monday, the 66-year-old plastic surgeon and 56-year-old Real Housewives of Orange County personality closed a deal on the 9,000-sq-ft property after listing it for $25million in March.
According to TMZ, the property was bought by a non-celebrity from outside the States for $16.5million.
The anonymous buyer, who had previously been in escrow for the home before backing out at the last minute, toured the sprawling residence three times before making a final decision.
The deal was brokered by real estate agent Josh Flagg while Matt Altman also held the listing. Heather also noted on Instagram earlier this year that she tapped Josh Altman of Bravo's Million Dollar Listing.
Per Altman, the longtime couple are trading in the sprawling abode for an apartment lifestyle.
Three of their four children have reached adulthood and moved out, and Heather and Terry want to spend more time traveling.
Terry and Heather share 21-year-old twin sons Nick and Max, 18-year-old daughter Kat, and 14-year-old son Ace.
Their Beverly Hills house, sitting behind a vast circular driveway, is perched on a promontory with the Los Angeles skyline visible in the distance.
It sits across a more than eight-acre lot with dazzling views of the city, and boasts five bedrooms and nine bathrooms.
The home was constructed with an airy design that allows plenty of sunlight to stream through the spacious rooms.
Guests enter the property by way of a massive foyer, where they are greeted by the sight of twin staircases leading to the upper level.
Meanwhile, the dining room features expansive windows to let the natural light in, plus a fireplace with an ornate mantlepiece.
Next to a living room with breathtaking hillside views, the home also contains a library nook with sleek blonde wood bookshelves.
A seating area is set up in the library, which has its own window offering a glimpse of the lush foliage planted around the structure.
The living room comes with bay windows as well as glass doors leading out into the backyard, which is complete with a swimming pool.
One of the estate's other outdoor offerings is a patio area flanked by two columns of trees, which have been used to form a canopy.
A separate reading room, with a slanted ceiling that provides a cozy feel, is tucked away at another area of the house.

What happened to Katie Price's Mucky Mansion? Ex-glamour model's 'cursed' former home was bought by furniture tycoon at cut-price of £1.15m
This is the man who was brave enough to buy Katie Price 's notorious nine-bedroom 'mucky mansion' - which she has claimed is cursed. James Mercer, 62, a furniture tycoon and divorced father of two, paid £1.15 million for the run-down West Sussex property, which Katie insisted was jinxed following years of dramatic episodes, including break-ins, numerous pets dying, and even reports of 'seeing ghosts '. Mr Mercer, originally from Northern Ireland, bought Katie's former troubled home in January just months after bailiffs evicted the star and her family when she failed to keep up payments on the monthly mortgage, The Daily Mail can reveal. But while he may not put much credence in the suggestion that it is possessed by evil spirits, Mr Mercer apparently does agree that it was left 'mucky' by its famous previous occupant. To remedy that, he has commissioned extensive remedial work to make it fit once more for human habitation. The home has found itself in the spotlight once again after Katie's daughter Princess Andre branded it a 'very scary place' and confessed she had a lot of bad experiences in the notorious 'mucky mansion'. But none of that put off Mr Mercer, a keen cyclist and known for raising money for charity, who has bought it to seal his new relationship after divorcing the mother of his children. He was previously married to Susan Mercer, who still lives in Northern Ireland, but is now in a long-term relationship with Leike Qu, with whom he now co-owns Katie Price's former home. Today, Leike told The Daily Mail that the couple had 'fallen in love' with Katie's 'mucky mansion' despite its notorious reputation. She said: 'We are just very ordinary and quiet people who fell in love with this country house.' As well as spending over £1m on the freehold, the couple are also understood to have set aside a substantial sum to repair it. The entire facade of the faux-Tudor house is clad in scaffolding with construction materials, including planks of wood scattered in the driveway. A mechanical digger has been left by the side of the house and a builder's van is parked up by the front door. Keep fit enthusiast Mr Mercer raised more than £800 in May 2022 for the Salvation Army for its work to support displaced Ukrainian people who came to the UK by cycling over 100 miles across London and Surrey. He has also regularly posted his cycling exploits on social media after pedalling for hundreds of miles across the UK, along with photos of his travels to exotic locations around the world. His business involves selling household furniture from around the world, but, like the former owner of his lavish home, Mr Mercer also appears to have suffered his fair share of financial challenges, according to Companies House records. One of his companies is listed as being forcibly dissolved in 2011 while another was dissolved after going into voluntary liquidation. Mr Mercer snapped up Katie's former home for less than the £1.35 million it was originally listed for after she struggled to find a buyer because of its dilapidated state. The swimming pool was also empty and there were concerns that the land could be contaminated by waste. Contract cleaners were brought in to clear away piles of rubbish and spruce up the property before it was put on the market by local estate agents HJ Burt. But the star did not see a penny of the money that Mr Mercer paid for it as it was swallowed up by the debts she previously ran up against the Sussex home, which she purchased for £2 million in 2014. After leaving, Katie claimed the home, which she lived in for a decade, was 'hell' and left her battling anxiety and overcome by panic attacks, which forced her into therapy. She warned the new owners: 'I hate that house. Whoever buys it, I warn them, they will get bad luck there.' She continued: 'It is absolutely cursed. My anxiety got worse with that house. There was a point when I couldn't even walk up the driveway without having a panic attack. 'I had therapy about the house. I should never have gone back there. Now I'm out of it, it's the best thing I've ever done.' Katie also spoke in the past about her fears that the home is haunted by the spirit of a small child, while a number of her pets died in the property. In 2024, Katie shared pictures of two men she feared were trying to break into the mansion - just days after she was forced to call police over another gang of strangers outside her home. She posted alarming doorbell footage on Instagram of an intruder approaching the front door before walking away. The 'mucky mansion' also became the subject of a Channel 4 documentary when Katie attempted to bring life back into the property for the last time. During her time living there, Katie's treatment of animals also came under scrutiny after five dogs, a horse, and a chameleon all died while in her care - many of them in traffic accidents near the property. She attributed these tragedies to 'bad luck', with most occurring while she was away. She has since secured the garden of her new home to ensure her pets' safety. Responding to people who say she shouldn't own animals, Katie told The Sun: 'When people say I shouldn't have animals, it's circumstances that were out of my hands. 'It's no lack of me not looking after them or anything like that. I love animals, I love nurturing.' Katie's former home is made up of three reception rooms, nine bedrooms and four bath/shower rooms spread over three floors plus a one-bedroom annexe. It is set in expansive grounds which also have stables. While speaking about living there, Princess did not reveal the exact details of why she found it 'scary' and what her bad experiences were. Discussing contrasts of life at Katie's new home with where her father lives, she went on: 'Dad's house is a lot quieter, a lot more peaceful, a lot more organised. Whereas my mum's house is much more just do what you want.
