Jim Carrey has hacked the price of his long-time Los Angeles estate once again.

The “Yes Man” actor, 62, initially listed his sprawling 10,954-square-foot Brentwood mansion for a hefty $28.9 million in February 2023.

But the lavish pad has failed to find a buyer, prompting Carrey to repeatedly slash the price. The first cut came two months later, dropping to $27 million. By October 2023, he’d trimmed it down again to $24 million.

Now, Carrey has dropped the asking price even further, settling at $21.9 million — a staggering $7 million reduction.
