Jim Carrey sold his Brentwood estate for $19.8 million, less than the initial asking price. He revealed his return to the 'Sonic the Hedgehog' franchise was partly driven by financial needs.
Have YOU got a story? EmailJim 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.
The 62-year-old, who once commanded $20 million per film and boasted an estimated $300 million net worth during his blockbuster heyday , revealed that even Hollywood royalty has bills to pay. 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.'
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. 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.His luxury car collection is rumored to have taken a bite out of his fortune as well.
After leaving school in 1978 to help support his family, Carrey spent two years working as a janitor in a factory—far from the spotlight, but not for long. But it was Earth Girls Are Easy that saw Carrey take on the quirky role of Wiploc, an intergalactic alien, cementing his place in the world of eccentric comedy.
