The Hamptons-inspired house was built in 1991 and recently renovated by Rachel Ashwell Shabby Chic Couture. Simpson originally bought the home in 2005 for $5.275 million on the heels of her divorce from singer Nick Lachey. She then sold it in late 2013 for $6.4 million. It was most recently listed at $7.895 million.

Other previous residents of the property include “Crocodile Dundee” star Paul Hogan, Hollywood manager Rick Yorn and Ellen DeGeneres. The seller’s identity was not disclosed. [Zillow] —TRD
