Retired first baseman and 11-time MLB All-Star Albert Pujols has sold his megasized Irvine, CA, property for $8.8 million.
The mansion boasts five en suite bedrooms, eight bathrooms, and over 9,200 square feet.
Pujols bought the half-acre home, situated in the gated Shady Canyon neighborhood, for $5.5 million in 2012. He originally put the house on the market for $7.75 million in 2016, but it never sold. In June 2023, he relisted the place for $9,980,000.
Even though Pujols didn’t get his asking price, he’s still walking away with more than $3 million in profit.
The megasized mansion features two offices, a movie theater, and a wet bar.
