Harvey Weinstein sells his Hamptons mansion for $10million

Disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein has sold his Hamptons mansion at a loss of $1.4million as he faces a huge legal bill over the sex assault scandal.

The former Miramax boss who was sacked by his own production company in October last year after being accused sex crimes by dozens of women, bought the mansion in 2014 for $11.4million.

He put it back on the market in March last year with an asking price of $13.5million which had slipped to $12.8million by April, and then $12.4million as he struggled to attract a buyer.

Now Newsday reports that he finally got rid of the 9,000sqft home, which features a full home cinema and outdoor pool, for $10million. 

It was bought via Taisho Holdings LLC, a legal entity registered in New York by real estate lawyer Trevor M. Darrell. It is not known who the new owner is.

Weinstein and then-wife Georgina Chapman, who is now in the process of separating from him, spoke to the Wall Street Journal when the property first went on sale.

Chapman said they were getting rid of the home because they did not get out to the Hamptons as much as they would have liked.

But the sudden deal, coming at a significant loss, almost certainly means the final sale was prompted by Weinstein’s legal battles.

Chapman is also set to walk away with between $15million and $20million under the terms of a divorce settlement due to be announced in the near future, Page Six reports. 

The home features seven bedrooms, seven full bathrooms, and three half bathrooms, according to the previous listing by Sotheby’s International Realty.

Set on two acres of land, there is 260-feet of water frontage on Gardiner’s Bay, beach access, a waterside heated pool and a screened-in dining porch with water views.

It also features a vaulted master suite, a private balcony off the master, a self-contained guest wing with two bedrooms and a separate entrance, and a rooftop deck. 

Weinstein is also preparing to hand over $15million to $20million of his assets to Georgina Chapman in a divorce settlement finalized last year, it has been reported
