Brooke Shields earns TWICE what she spent on LA home

Actress and model Brooke Shields has reportedly sold her LA home for $10.2 million - making a hefty $5.7 million profit in the process.

According to Dirt, Shields bought the five-bedroom, five-bathroom 1980s home for about $4.5 million in 1997, meaning she has collected double its original value.

The opulent residence, located in the affluent Pacific Palisades neighbourhood, features an airy living area with a functional fireplace and exposed beams, as well as a large balcony area with sweeping views of the canyon, and a marble-topped professional kitchen.

On the second floor, the master suite boasts two fireplaces, a study nook, a free-standing tub, a sauna, and its own private balcony.

Outside, the home’s second deck on the first floor is home to a lagoon-style pool and spa, accompanied by a lush lounge area.

Shields took to Instagram last week to announce she was moving on from her LA home, sharing a series of throwback photos from when she made jam with LA Times columnist Ben Mims.

“My iPhone just reminded me of these pics from jamming mandarins with my new friend @benbmims in my backyard, as I said goodbye to my LA home 💛 #movingon,” she wrote.

Although the Blue Lagoon star has owned the property for 25 years, she has spent most of her time on America’s east coast in the 1840s Manhattan townhouse she owns with her husband Chris Henchy.
