The luxurious Beverly Hills mansion where Bruce Willis lived when he tied the knot with Emma Heming has sold in a massive $41 million deal.
In the second-highest residential sale in Los Angeles County so far this year, the one-acre property in Benedict Canyon was traded off-market this week by Guess CEO Carlos Alberini and his wife Andrea, who bought it from Willis in 2014, according to property records.
The house has come a long way since Willis bought it for $9 million in 2004, four years after he divorced from his first wife Demi Moore.
Built in the coveted 90210 area code in 1928, the Mediterranean-style home has seven bedrooms and 10 baths, as well as several enormous living rooms, multiple fireplaces and two walk-in closets. Outside, the property has a tennis court, a resort-style pool and a courtyard with a fountain.
Willis and Heming, who were married in 2009 and now live separately due to Willis’ 24-hour care for his frontotemporal dementia, made the home bigger — giving it 11 bedrooms — and upgraded the kitchen while living there with their two daughters, along with Willis’ three daughters from his marriage to Moore.
The Die Hard actor listed the house for $22 million in 2013 because he said he no longer needed the 10,300-square-feet of space. The Alberinis bought the house for $16.5 million the next year. They extensively remodeled it by downscaling to seven rooms and renovating the interiors and exteriors of the home.
The identity of the new buyer has not been revealed. Carl Gambino and John Bercsi of the Gambino Group at Compass represented the buyer and declined to comment further on the sale when approached by The Independent.
Records show the property was listed with Jon Grauman, Adam Rosenfeld and Bennett Bidwell of Resident Group.
After Willis and Heming moved out of the Benedict Canyon house, they moved to a 22-acre estate in Bedford Corner, New York, which they bought for $7.66 million. They raised their children in the family home before selling it in 2020.
The family then moved to Idaho to be near Moore and their children during the pandemic, before settling into a home in Los Angeles.
Last year, Heming revealed the difficult decision to move Willis into a separate, one-story home near the family’s main house to create a more “calm and serene atmosphere” for him following his diagnosis with FTD in 2023.
“Dementia plays out differently in everyone’s home and you have to do what’s right for your family dynamic and what’s right for your person,” she said at the time. “It’s heartbreaking to me. But this is how we were able to support our whole family, [and] it has opened up Bruce’s world.”
