Angelina Jolie's Realtor: Madonna Didn't Buy the Mansion

Ernie Carswell says reports that Madonna purchased the Cecil B. DeMille estate are false.

Angelina Jolie's realtor is correcting the record about who bought her Los Angeles mansion.

Ernie Carswell, who co-listed the historic Cecil B. DeMille estate, said on a recent episode of "Real Talk" that Madonna is not the buyer. The property sold Sept. 24 for $24.75 million, as TMZ first reported. TMZ did not report the buyer's identity.

Several outlets later claimed Madonna bought the home, with The Real Deal citing Robb Report. Carswell said that's not true, though he isn't revealing the buyer.

Madonna had been linked to the property before the sale. The New York Post reported in August that her representatives arranged a private virtual tour after she expressed interest.

The 11,000-square-foot mansion boasts six bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, a guesthouse, pool house, gym, tea house and sweeping views of the Hollywood Hills. Jolie bought the 2.1-acre property for $24.5 million in 2017 and sold it for $24.75 million.
