Spider-Man 3 is a box-office smash, and now Tobey Maguire, who played Spidey in all three films, is cashing in on selling his Hollywood Hills home.
Maguire sold the house for $11.5 million — a tidy sum considering that he bought the house as a first-time buyer in 2002 for $3.7 million.
The actor, who celebrated his first Fathers Day this year as a dad, had shared the home with his fiancée, Jennifer, daughter of Universal Studios president Ron Meyer, and their baby, Ruby Sweetheart, born in the fall.
The one-storey, 5,000sqft residence was built in the early 60s and rebuilt in 1990. Cuban-born interior designer Waldo Fernandez, who gave the Beverly Hilton Hotel a facelift after singer-actor Merv Griffin bought it in 1987, also redid Maguires house after the actor bought it in 2002. Maguire turned 32 on June 27.
The Mediterranean-style home has three bedrooms, a gym and city views. It also has a spa, pool, courtyard entry, chefs kitchen and maids quarters.
Besides starring in the Spider-Man movies, Maguire appeared in The Ice Storm (1997), The Cider House Rules (1999), Seabiscuit (2003) and The Good German (2006).
Seagal sells ranch
Actor Steven Seagal, who has been filming the action movie Marker for release next year, has sold his 995-acre Knoll Ranch in Montague, California, near the Oregon border, for close to its asking price of $3 million.
Seagal, 56, owned the ranch for about seven years. During that time, he cultivated organic herbs and flowers and distilled oils for his company, Diamond Lotus. Lavender, thyme and oregano are distilled on the ranch and distributed worldwide.
