Reebok founder Paul Fireman just sold his seven-acre estate in a ritzy Boston suburb for $23 million — about a quarter of its original asking price, according to listing brokerage Douglas Elliman.
Fireman first put the home on the market for $90 million in 2016. After several price cuts, it was most recently listed at $33 million.
The eight-bedroom Brookline mansion sits on seven acres in the affluent Boston suburb of Brookline, less than a mile down the road from Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen's Brookline home, which got a price cut last year and is now asking $33.9 million.
Fireman said he and his wife "built Woodland Manor as the house of [their] dreams," choosing Brookline for its proximity to Boston and large lot size, according to Douglas Elliman.
George and Manny Sarkis of Douglas Elliman held the listing for the home, which was built in 1999.
Take a look inside the nearly 27,000-square-foot home.
Paul Fireman is the founder and former CEO and chairman of Reebok, the footwear and apparel company.
Fireman, who sold Reebok to Adidas in 2006, is now the chairman of Fireman Capital Partners.
He's worth an estimated $1.1 billion, according to Forbes.
The billionaire just sold his eight-bedroom Boston-area home for $23 million — about a quarter of its original asking price.
It sits on more than seven gated acres in Brookline, an affluent Boston suburb where the median listing price for a home is almost $1.2 million.
Fireman built the home in 1999 and first listed it for sale in 2016 for a whopping $90 million, which included an additional seven acres.
Since then, he slashed the price at least three times, and it was most recently listed for $33 million before selling for $23 million.
Fireman said he and his wife "built Woodland Manor as the house of [their] dreams," choosing Brookline for its proximity to Boston and large lot size, according to Douglas Elliman.
The home is about nine miles from downtown Boston.
