The Die Hard star would make a killing if the mansion sells at the asking price.

Bruce purchased the 10,379 square foot home for $9million back in June 2004. The estate boasts 11 bedrooms and 11 bathrooms, along with a tennis court, swimming pool and stone fountain.

Alex Rodriguez's Miami Mansion Sells For $30 Million


Zillow

Alex Rodriguez Sells Miami Mansion for $30 Million -- OMG!

Major League Baseball star Alex Rodriguez may be considered one of the game’s greatest players, but when it came to selling his Miami mega-mansion, he was striking out ... until now.

After buying the waterfront lot in 2010 for $7.4 million and having the 10-bedroom home custom built, A-Rod put the place on the market in August just a year after taking possession of it.

Asking price? A cool $38 million.

Then, in January, the New York Yankees third baseman took the stunning contemporary pad off the market.

Guess no one wanted to shell out the hefty purchase price?

Now, however, A-Rod's scored a home run and sold the place for $30 million.

Sure, it's $8 million under his one-time asking price, but according to various reports, the athlete spent somewhere between $7.6 million and $18 million to build the home, which means he still netted him some sort of profit even after selling at the "discounted" price.

And the new owner has plenty of luxury to look forward to.
