Celebrity Homes of the Week: Amy Schumer, Ashley Olsen, Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie, and Tobey Maguire & Jennifer Meyer
This week in Celebrity Homes: Amy Schumer takes in a killer view, Ashley Olsen snags a storied piece of New York City real estate history, and the former couple known as Brangelina offloads the N’awlins part of their impressive real estate portfolio.
Amy Schumer’s Hudson River penthouse
(5 bedrooms, 5.5 bathrooms, 4,500 sq. ft.) – US$12.14 million
JUST BOUGHT: Comedian, and actress Amy Schumer just plopped down roughly US$12 million on a classy penthouse on New York City’s upper west side. It has everything that a luxurious apartment should: an elevator that opens directly into the home living space, a three-sided fireplace, floor-to-ceiling glass doors, sky lights that flood the space with natural light during the day, and unobstructed views up, down, and across the Hudson River to the New Jersey skyline.
Ashley Olsen’s Greenwich Village condo
(2 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, 3,028 sq. ft.) – US$6.75million
JUST BOUGHT: Ashley Olsen, one-half of the child-star-turned-fashion-mogul duo, has just purchased a condo in historic Greenwich village. There aren’t many details about the property, but we have gathered some insight into the classy home. Built in the 19th century, and located on the east side, the unit boasts walnut floors, steel and restoration glass doors.
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s New Orleans mansion
(5 bedrooms, 5 full and 2 half bathrooms, 7,645 sq. ft) – US$4.9 million
JUST SOLD: The saga continues! Pending divorcee megastars Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have sold their New Orleans mansion for a whopping US$4.9 million. Considering it was purchased for only US$3.5 million back in 2007, that’s a cool US$2 million profit! Built in the 1830s, the home includes custom-designed marble mantles and fireplaces, an elevator (because that’s how big it is), small swimming pool in the private courtyard, and a separate two-story guest house. Not sure we’d want to be a guest with these two around duking it out every day.
