Retired first baseman and 11-time MLB All-Star Albert Pujols<\/strong> has sold his megasized Irvine, CA<\/a>, property for $8.8 million.<\/p>\n

The mansion boasts five en suite bedrooms, eight bathrooms, and over 9,200 square feet.<\/p>\n

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<\/a> for $7.75 million in 2016, but it never sold. In June 2023, he relisted the place for $9,980,000.<\/p>\n

Even though Pujols didn\u2019t get his asking price, he\u2019s still walking away with more than $3 million in profit.<\/p>\n

The megasized mansion features two offices, a movie theater, and a wet bar.<\/p>\n
