July 9th Edition

I’ve talked before about the celebrities in Hollywood losing money with their real estate deals, but there is the occasion where they make money, good money too!
Take Jeff Pobst, the Survivor host, just sold his three bedroom, three bathroom home with a detached office for the full asking price of $900,000 thousand dollars! He listed his place shortly after he purchased Gene Audry’s estate in Studio City for 5 million dollars. The home comes complete with a three-tier waterfall, access to hiking trails and an 8 person spa. Sounds like he had his own “survivor” hideaway!
Quite some time ago I had a story, a crazy story about Jennifer Aniston listing her home for $42 million dollars after she purchased it for only $13 million in 2006 with when she was with Brad Pitt. With the recession and the ups and downs of the U-S market this seems a little out of whack even considering the incredible renovations she did. Well, she proved to everyone differently and is laughing all the way to the bank. The home has recently been sold for somewhere around $37 Million dollars, I wonder if she is going to take up a new line of work now?
And that’s the Celebrity real estate gossip!
