Is Brad Pitt the proud owner of a new home in the heart of California? In any case, this is what our colleagues from the DailyMail. According to this media, the 58-year-old star actor paid $40 million (40 million euros) to buy a bachelor pad in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California.

This was built in 1918 by a leading architect of the 20th century, Charles Summer Green for writer Daniel Lewis James aka DL James, the author of Famous All Over Town.
