Jim Carrey's 30-Year Home Has Been on the Market for Over 2 Years, and It Just Got Another Price Cut

Jim Carrey, known for his many famous films including the recent "Sonic the Hedgehog" trilogy, is struggling to off-load his long-time Los Angeles home. To make it even more attractive, the price was cut by another $1 million. Built in 1951 and located in the affluent Brentwood neighborhood, Carrey purchased the property in 1994, the same year he starred in "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective," "The Mask" and "Dumb and Dumber." After nearly 30 years, it was listed for sale for $28.9 million in February 2023. Don't Miss: Inspired by Uber and Airbnb – Deloitte's fastest-growing software company is transforming 7 billion smartphones into income-generating assets – Hasbro, MGM, and Skechers trust this AI marketing firm — At that time, Carrey spoke with The Wall Street Journal about selling his home, describing it as "a place of enchantment and inspiration" where he spent "30 very creative and prosperous years." The reason for putting it up for sale? "I want someone else to enjoy it like I have," Carrey says, noting that he no longer spends as much time there. The ranch-style home went through several price changes and relistings up until December, when it was pending sale for $19.75 million. The deal fell through, according to public records, and was relisted for the same price two months later. With no buyers, another price slash brought the listing down to $18.75 million as of May 2. Spanning just under 11,000 square feet, the contemporary home has five bedrooms and nine bathrooms. It features six fireplaces, brick hallways, beamed ceilings and French doors that lead out to the patio. The exterior stuns with a waterfall pool and spa, an infrared sauna, a steam room, green gardens, a tennis court, a gazebo and a pool house with a wet bar. For those who want to take advantage of the indoor-outdoor living, there's a treetop yoga and meditation platform. Trending: Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing — "This tranquil oasis is unlike any other in Los Angeles and must be experienced in person to be fully appreciated," says the listing held by Graham J. Larson at Sotheby's International Realty. "Set behind more than 280′ of hedged frontage and situated on more than two serene acres, this one of kind property offers endless enjoyment for all ages." One of the most show-stopping parts of the house is the Art Deco-style home theater with a concessions room, which features costumes from Carrey's movies. In tall glass cases on the walls, you'd find his Riddler costume from "Batman Forever" and the Santa Claus costume from "How the Grinch Stole Christmas." This is also where he keeps the many awards he's won over his impressive career. Sadly, these iconic pieces don't come with the sale of the house.

Jim Carrey slashes $10M off LA home bid after admitting: 'I need the money'
has slashed the price of his LA mansion after the latest sale collapsed. The actor first listed the Brentwood property in February 2023 for $28.9 million - nearly three decades after picking it up for $3.8 million in 1994. Now the 63-year-old is seeking $18.8 million after a buyer in December backed out of the $19.8 million agreed purchase. The $10 million discount on the five-bedroom, nine-bathroom spread comes on the heels of Jim admitting his return to the Sonic The Hedgehog franchise wasn't about passion — it was about the paycheck. The comedian, 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 in December. But he insisted it wasn't entirely about the paycheck, as he was quick to add: 'At the same time, it had heart, and that's why I did it the first time. There was something beautiful about the heart of the piece.' Of course, he couldn't resist throwing in his signature humor, concluding: 'I hope it will bring families together and cure several diseases.' When he first listed his home for sale in February, he told The New York Post that he was ready for 'changes' in his life. 'For three decades it's been a sanctuary for me, but I don't spend a lot of time there now and I want someone else to enjoy it like I have,' he told the outlet in a statement. 'Cha cha cha cha ... Changes!' he added, referring to the David Bowie song. He bought the home after shooting to fame in the hit movie Ace Ventura: Pet Detective. The actor also owns a property in Maui, confirming in 2017 that he is a resident of the island after buying a home near the waterfront in Makena. Some of his art is even displayed in the local Wyland Gallery. His luxury car collection is rumored to have taken a bite out of his fortune as well. The comedian has owned several Mercedes, a Porsche Panamera and a Tesla, according to Supercarblondie. He's also shared stories of his travels to various corners of the globe, from humble trips to Buffalo, NY, to lavish getaways in London and awe-inspiring visits to Machu Picchu, Peru. Jim's journey from humble beginnings to Hollywood icon began in the streets of Toronto, where he grew up. After leaving school in 1978 to help support his family, he spent two years working as a janitor in a factory - far from the spotlight, but not for long. By age 15, he was already performing stand-up comedy in local Toronto clubs, and by 1979 he was earning a living as a comedian. At 19, Carrey took a leap of faith and moved to Hollywood, where he quickly immersed himself in both television and film. In 2004, he solidified his place in both countries by obtaining dual U.S. and Canadian citizenship. In 1983, Carrey made his mark on Canadian television with a role in Introducing…Janet. The following year, he stepped onto the big screen in his feature film debut, Finders Keepers, before landing a leading role in Once Bitten (1985). But it was Earth Girls Are Easy (1988) that saw Jim take on the quirky role of Wiploc, an intergalactic alien, cementing his place in the world of eccentric comedy. Jim's first TV special, Jim Carrey: Unnatural Act (1991), earned rave reviews and opened the door to his breakout role on the sketch comedy series In Living Color, where his zany, larger-than-life persona became a household name. Interestingly, in 1985, Jim made a daring and prescient decision: he wrote himself a check for $10 million for 'acting services rendered,' dated it 10 years into the future, and kept it in his wallet as a symbol of his ambition. Remarkably, in November 1995, Jim learned that he had been cast in Dumb and Dumber for exactly $10 million. In 2022, he announced his plans to retire from acting once and for all, claiming that Sonic The Hedgehog 2 would be his final film. 'It depends, if the angels bring some sort of script that's written in gold ink that says to me that it's gonna be really important for people to see, I might continue down the road, but I'm taking a break,' he said at the time. At the Sonic 3 premiere, an interviewer from the Associated Press said to him: 'You said in a past interview that you'd come back if you got a script written in gold ink written by angels...?' As Jim began to laugh he replied saying: 'That might've been hyperbole, yeah.' The Sonic series has been one of the most lucrative projects of his career, with the first two films grossing a combined $725 million worldwide. Meanwhile, Sonic The Hedgehog 3 grossed $492.16 million worldwide.

Jim Carrey slashes $10M off LA home but still no takers after admitting he's banking on Sonic sequels for cash
Jim Carrey is once again struggling to unload his lavish Los Angeles mansion after a recent deal fell through. The Truman Show star, 63, first listed the sprawling Brentwood estate in February 2023 for $28.9 million — nearly three decades after scooping it up for $3.8 million in 1994. A buyer reportedly came forward in December, agreeing to pay $19.8 million, slashing $10 million off the original asking price. Despite the drop, Carrey still stood to make a hefty profit — until the sale collapsed. Now, the five-bedroom, nine-bathroom spread is back on the market for $18.8 million after another $1 million price cut in May, per property records.

The Most Iconic Sega Genesis Game is Making a Comeback
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek's network of contributors The Sega Genesis is one of the most beloved video game consoles in history, and home to a host of fantastic games that are remembered fondly to this day. The console saw classics like Sonic The Hedgehog take off, but one game in particular has had a strangely enduring legacy, and it's set to make a comeback very soon. In an interview with Xbox Wire, Ecco the Dolphin creator Ed Annunziata revealed that a brand-new game in the series is on the way, with "the entire original team" apparently returning to help make it happen. Before that happens, though, Annunziata's team is going to release remasters of the first two games in the series, Ecco the Dolphin and its sequel The Tides of Time. A Sega Genesis Mini from the Showcase Trailer for the device. A Sega Genesis Mini from the Showcase Trailer for the device. Sega The team has launched a website with a very lengthy countdown timer, which is counting down to April 26, 2026. It's not known if this countdown is referring to the remasters of the original games or the new game, but it's very exciting for fans of the series, which hasn't seen a new release since the Dreamcast's Ecco the Dolphin: Defender of the Future in 2000. Ecco the Dolphin is a strange action-adventure game, originally released for the Genesis in 1992, featuring an adorable bottlenose dolphin named Ecco, who stumbles upon ancient alien technology that allows him to travel through time and space in search for his lost pod. The game was a huge success, selling over half a million copies and spawning four sequels. The game has since been re-released on a number of different systems, including the Sega CD, the Game Gear, the Master System, PC, iOS, Xbox, the Nintendo 3DS, and the Nintendo Switch via the Nintendo Switch Online service. It's remembered fondly for its unique control scheme, eclectic storytelling, and colorful graphics, and widely considered one of the best Sega Genesis games ever made.

The New Shrek 5 Teaser Has Already Split Opinion Right Down The Middle For This 1 Big Reason
The new Shrek movie is still almost two years away, and it's already at the centre of debate. On Thursday evening, the first teaser for Shrek 5 was posted online, depicting Shrek, Fiona and Donkey using the Magic Mirror as a kind of medieval TikTok. But even the news that Zendaya will be joining the cast as Shrek and Fiona's teenage daughter was overshadowed by the fact that this latest sequel to the animated classic has a new visual art style that not everyone was happy about. As the 27-second clip began racking up millions of views, the smoother and glossier versions of the classic characters made many fans of the original films uneasy at the idea of what was to come – with some going as far as comparing it to the first design for Sonic The Hedgehog in his first big-screen outing back in 2019… shrek pioneered ugly photorealistic animation, a style that kinda played into the crudeness as a piece of disney mockery. and now they're just mimicking pixar. — nalbis (@nalbis) February 27, 2025 I don't know who this man is, but it ain't Shrek. — Ezra Cubero (@EzraCubero) February 27, 2025 that is NOT shrek — lilo (@heavenslt) February 27, 2025 Hmm, interesting art style — SuperSmashBro64 (@SmashBro64) February 27, 2025 Shrek 5 trailer: — 𝐁⁶𓅓ﾒ𝟶 🇹🇷🇦🇱 (@bxovo_) February 27, 2025 can we bully dreamworks to change the shrek 5 animation like we did to paramount to change sonic's animation? — chu (@THEHORRORGOTH) February 27, 2025 this is beyond losing the sauce. this is straight up disrespectful to the original art style 🍅🍅🍅 — Frankie Fey ✮ (@frankiefeyy) February 27, 2025 Why does the animation look like an AI interpretation of what Shrek 5 could look like 💔 — Saammuel (@Saammuel) February 27, 2025 Well with all the talk about Shrek 5's new style and animation choices... I felt like a meme had to be made, so here it is!Guess we'll see how things continue to develop... — TRAFON(s Backup Account) (@RiseFallNickBck) February 28, 2025 — ed (@erar97) February 27, 2025 The Shrek 5 trailer: — Aleks Phoenix (@AleksPhoenix) February 27, 2025 Others were in favour of the changes, urging purists to keep open minds when it comes to the new Shrek film… Shrek 5 being genuinely expressive isn't surprising, but when you see those comparisons putting nostalgia aside, those older movies look so DATED the technology to make the animation of those older movies doesn't exist anymore and changes were inevitable making a new entry — Etch Wilde Enjoyer 🦊💥 (@sketching204) February 27, 2025 These designs are good and work better for more expressive animation like puss and boots. genuinely don't understand this level of backlash. This is the ideal direction. — Doobus Goobus (@DoobusGoobus) February 27, 2025 Yall act like the new design is the worse thing ever when they've done it once 3 years ago and yall LIKED IT. #shrek5https:// — ✨Soap/Amy✨ (@SoapySoapster) February 27, 2025 I'm going to gently hold everyone by the hand while I say that the original Shrek films, while amazing for their time, kind of look like ass in a modern context and some kind of redesign was going to happen no matter what — charlie g - boxtown ✨(link in bio) (@charliepgavin) February 27, 2025 Shrek 5 comes out in 22 months.. chill. — kevin m. (@kevkev) February 27, 2025 everyone complaining about the animation on shrek 5 is clearly blinded by nostalgia because from what we can see in the trailer the animation is so good and expressive i love it idc — miel (@tarteaumiau) February 27, 2025 The animation looked weird at first but I could get used to this y'all better not act like Shrek never made pop culture references, a tik tok/influencer variation isn't anything new — 𝕮𝖆𝖎𝖔 ☕💫 (@caito_eee) February 27, 2025 I can understand not immediately digging the art style change but this is NOT the same as Paramount's old Sonic movie design lol can we be serious — Mr. Pasquale (@TheMrPasquale) February 27, 2025 I know Shrek 5 looked a little off-putting but this is CRAAAAZYYYY.... — JOLLY J✨ (@DynamoSuperX) February 28, 2025 i think the new Shrek designs look fine — take another little reece of my heart now baby 💕 (@connolly_reece) February 27, 2025 But hey, at least there's one thing we can all agree on, right…? I will enjoy Shrek 5 if she is still hot as fuck and has me questioning things about myself — Saltydkdan (@saltydkdan) February 27, 2025 Shrek 5 was first revealed to be in the works back in July 2024, with Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy and Cameron Diaz all confirmed to be returning for the next film in the series. Originally, it was slated to hit cinemas in the summer of 2026, but this has now been pushed back to December of that year. The film is the first to be released in cinemas since Shrek Forever After back in 2010, although in that time, there have been several spin-offs – most notably Puss In Boots and its sequel Puss In Boots: The Last Wish, which won a rather surprising amount of acclaim when it debuted in 2022. Eddie Murphy teased in June 2024 during an interview with Collider that work had already begun on Shrek 5 prior, as well as revealing that his character, Donkey, would be getting his own stand-alone movie, in addition to Shrek 5.
