Carrey himself disclosed that his decision to sell stems from his evolving lifestyle. “For three decades, it's been a sanctuary for me, but I don't spend a lot of time there now, and I want someone else to enjoy it like I have,” Carrey previously told The Post in a statement.
Jim Carrey, famous for starring in a long list of films including “The Mask” and “Bruce Almighty,” has lowered the price of his longtime Los Angeles lair to $23,950,000. The actor, who's been busy working on “Sonic the Hedgehog 3,” initially listed the estate in February 2023 for nearly $29 million.
Explaining the reasoning for his possible retirement, Carrey said: “I really like my quiet life and I really like putting paint on canvas and I really love my spiritual life and I feel like – and this is something you might never hear another celebrity say as long as time exists – I have enough. I've done enough.
As of 2024, Jim Carrey's net worth is reported to be an impressive $180 million. This remarkable financial achievement is a testament to his enduring appeal as an entertainer and the commercial success of his diverse body of work.
What is Jim Carrey doing now? Jim Carrey's last project was Sonic 2, and it's not likely he'll return to the big screen any time soon. Carrey has focused on other projects besides acting in recent years. In 2020, he published a surrealist novel, Memoirs and Misinformation, co-written with novelist Dana Vachon.
He received U.S. citizenship in October 2004 and remains a dual citizen of the United States and his native Canada. Carrey owns various property in Los Angeles and has lived in Brentwood since 1994.
The comedian recently listed his Los Angeles home for $28.9 million after he originally purchased the property for $3.8 million in 1994, which would be equivalent to $7.71 million today.
He was the youngest of four children. His mother, Kathleen, worked as a stay-at-home mom, and his father, Percy, was a saxophone player and an accountant. Life wasn't easy for young Carrey. His mother suffered from chronic health issues, and his father struggled to support his family.
Charity Work. Among Jim Carrey's numerous projects, his charity work has often been held with private regard, Jim's involvement being mostly patronage or financial donation. He set up his own 'Better U Foundation' in 2005 and in 2009 he was co-founder of Global Alliance for Transformational Entertainment.
After leaving school in 1978 to help support his family, Carrey worked for two years as a janitor in a factory. He made his professional debut as a stand-up comedian in a Toronto club at age 15 and by 1979 he was able to make a living as a comedian.
Carrey took part in the America: A Tribute to Heroes charity telethon for victims of 9/11, and donated $1 million to the cause. In August 2007, Carrey made an internet video to try to bring attention to the political suppression in Burma, especially of Nobel Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi.
The sprawling two-acre estate in the city's Brentwood neighborhood features a 12,700-square-foot ranch home where Carrey has lived for 30 years. It is listed for sale with Sotheby's International Realty.
