Larry King sells $15.5M mansion amid messy divorce
The sprawling mansion was listed for just under $17M
Television and radio icon Larry King and his estranged wife, Shawn Southwick, aren't free of each other just yet, although they have managed to unload their multimillion-dollar Beverly Hills mansion.
Amid a messy divorce, the couple sold their sprawling Tuscan estate sitting in the prestigious celebrity enclave in Beverly Hills for the hefty price of $15.5 million, down nearly $2 million from its original asking price when it hit the market, TMZ reported.

The property was listed with Kurt Rappaport of Westside Estate Agency after the 86-year-old talk show host filed a petition to end his seventh marriage in October.
However, this is not the first time the couple, who wed in 1997, filed for divorce. The couple reconciled after a spat in 2010. In 2016, both took to cable TV's Hallmark Channel to dispel rumors of infidelity.
In 2007, the couple bought the lavish home for just under $12 million, according to TMZ. Despite the drop in asking price, the couple netted a profit of over $3 million.
The home encompasses a towering sky-lit foyer, which opens up to “grand formal public rooms,” according to the Westside Estate Agency listing.

The estate also comes with imported Italian limestone, tile, Venetian plaster and "state-of-the-art technology" and sits amongst "manicured" gardens and a luxury swimming pool, according to the listing.
The kitchen is equipped with high-end appliances and is well lit due to the backyard-facing French windows, according to Architectural Digest, which reported the home also includes a game room with a wet bar and a home gym.
