Billy Bob Thornton is bidding adieu to the life he once shared with Angelina Jolie, having sold the house they lived in together for $8 million.
TMZ reports that Billy Bob and Angie bought the 9-bedroom, 8-bath mansion on Roxbury Drive in Beverly Hills in 2000 for $3.75 million. It also boasts a library, tennis courts, fountains and a pool, and measures a cool 11,000 square feet.
No big deal.
The house was sold by celebrity realtor Kurt Rappaport. Before being occupied by Billy Bob and Angelina, it was owned by Slash.
