Jen and Brad's Beverly Hills pad up for grabs!
Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston, who officially got divorced on October 2, have put their former Beverly Hills home up for sale for over $30 million.
The mansion, which has a cinema, mahogany floors, stainless-steel kitchen and an art studio, is empty of all furniture except a bed in the master suite. The stars have taken away all their belongings, reports The Mirror.
Following their split in January, both have relocated to Malibu. Pitt, 41, bought a $10m home in April, and Aniston, 36, has been renting a $16m beach house. They have also kept the Hollywood Hills homes they each owned before they married.
Insiders say their estimated $350m fortune is being divided amicably.
