Amid Declining health, Bruce Willis sold about $65 million worth of his property in Manhattan, Turks & Caicos and Idaho

Bruce Willis has sold $65m worth of property in Manhattan, Turks & Caicos and Idaho over the past four years as he worked on 22 movies and his health declined

Bruce Willis and his wife have sold $65 million in real estate over the last four years, as the beloved actor sought to simplify his life amid his deteriorating health.

Willis, 67, has been diagnosed with the degenerative brain condition aphasia, his family announced on Wednesday, and is drawing the curtain on his legendary Hollywood career that spans 44 years.

Supported by his wife of 13 years – Victoria’s Secret model Emma Heming, 43 – Willis will now spend most of his time at their $9.8 million home in Brentwood Park, Los Angeles.

It is unclear when Willis was first diagnosed with the condition, which affects speech and comprehension.

Yet since 2018, the much-loved actor – worth an estimated $250 million – has been dramatically downsizing his real estate portfolio.

$18 million Manhattan penthouse

In January 2018, Willis put on the market his Manhattan penthouse, which was sold within a week for $18 million.

‘It’s time to scale back,’ said their broker at the time, Ann Cutbill Lenane of Douglas Elliman.

The six-bedroom, 6,000-square-foot co-op at 271 Central Park West, which they bought in 2015 for $17 million, boasted 150 feet of Central Park frontage.

Split over two floors, it was previously owned by Wesley Edens, part-owner of the Milwaukee Bucks.

The upper level had an expansive kitchen and dining area, while the lower level holds five large bedrooms including the master suite.

The main bedroom features two walk-in closets, a dressing room with built-in vanity and a spa-like en-suite bathroom.

The duplex was sold to financier Jeffrey Alan Keswin.

$5 million Idaho estate

Later that year, in October, Willis then sold his Idaho estate, near the historic, celebrity favorite ski resort of Sun Valley.

Sun Valley has attracted the likes of Marilyn Monroe, Clark Gable and Ernest Hemingway – who liked the area so much he bought a house there in Ketchum.

Current homeowners include Arnold Schwarzenegger, Clint Eastwood, Jamie Lee Curtis, Tom Hanks and Justin Timberlake.

Willis, born in Germany but who grew up in New Jersey, has a long history in Idaho.

The actor and his ex-wife Demi Moore moved to the town of Hailey in 1988 to raise their family away from the Hollywood spotlight.

In 1994, Willis started buying up properties on Hailey’s main street under the corporation name IxNay Investment Trust.

In addition to his own home, the actor bought vacant lots, a pizza spot, a bar, a movie theater and a second house for Moore to display her extensive doll collection.

Moore, who was married to Willis from 1987 to 1998, still owns a house in the area. She and Willis rode out the pandemic in the house with their daughters Rumer, 33; Scout, 30; and Tallulah, 28 – plus Heming and their two young daughters, Mabel, 10, and Evelyn, 7.
