After only five months in the real estate market, Matthew Perry just sold his beachfront house in the top celebrity beach spot, Malibu in California.
"Could he be anymore richer?"
The "Friends" alum first listed the luxury beach house in August 2020 for $14.95 million. He had multiple price markdowns before finally closing the deal for $13.1 million. The transaction has yet to appear on online records, but Multiple Listing Service confirmed that the actor's property went into contract last October and closed last Thursday.
The actor famous for his portrayal as Chandler Bing on the hit 90s sitcom also took part in marketing his priced estate by posting photos of his so-called "kick-ass Malibu house" on social media.
"We have a fire pit, the ocean, and we have no idea what to do," Perry wrote on Instagram on May 2020, alongside a photo of his overviewing deck with lots of seating area to relax and take in the beautiful view.
Other Instagram photos featuring the Malibu beach house include baking cookies in the kitchen and complaining about mask-less beachgoers.
According to Architectural Digest, Matthew Perry acquired the Malibu beach house in 2011 for $12 million.
