Brad Pitt Sells Los Feliz Home to Austin Butler
Brad Pitt has officially sold his Los Feliz, Los Angeles home to Austin Butler for $5.2 million. The sale, completed last month in an off-market transaction, comes just two years after Pitt purchased the historic estate for $5.5 million.
The home is popularly known as “The Steel House,” built in 1960, and carries a strong connection to Hollywood history with past owners like Aileen Getty and Maroon 5’s guitarist James Valentine. Despite the sale price being slightly lower than what Pitt paid, it reflects a fair deal given recent events at the property.

Break-In Incident and Its Aftermath
The urgency in selling the home was reportedly influenced by a break-in incident earlier in the summer when burglars ransacked the property while Pitt was away filming “F1” in Japan. The police have since apprehended the suspects, providing a sense of security for the new owner.
However, this unwanted episode likely played a role in Pitt’s decision to part with the house and upgrade to a new $12 million mansion in the Hollywood Hills, which he purchased from The Killers guitarist Dave Keuning.
Austin Butler Becomes the New Owner
Austin Butler, known for his acclaimed performances in “Elvis,” “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,” and the upcoming “Dune: Part Two,” is the new owner of the property. The $5.2 million purchase represents a significant investment for Butler, whose net worth is estimated around $14 million.
His acquisition of “The Steel House” offers him panoramic views of Los Angeles and solidifies his growing presence not just in Hollywood’s acting scene but also in its real estate market.
Brad Pitt Moves to a New Luxury Residence
Following the sale, Brad Pitt has upgraded his residence to a lavish $12 million Spanish-style mansion, enhancing his security and lifestyle. This move appears to be a strategic choice post-break-in, signaling Pitt’s focus on privacy and comfort as he continues his film career.
