Rosie O’Donnell has sold her Star Island mansion for $16.5 million, $3 million below the original asking price, the New York Post reported.
“Rosie sold the Star Island home because she was hardly getting down there with her kids’ busy schedules,” an unnamed source reportedly told the Post.
O’Donnell, who has five children including a five-month-old baby, bought the property at 43 Star Island Drive in 1999 for $6.75 million from the Ethiopian Zion Coptic Church, the Post said.
She listed the 12-bedroom mansion in one of Miami Beach’s most exclusive enclaves in April, just days after “The Rosie Show” on Oprah’s TV network was canceled.
