Larry King’s divorce from seventh wife Shawn appears to be moving forward after it emerged that their family home, a Beverly Hills mansion, is up for sale for $17 million.
The luxurious home is said to be on the market to move the divorce process along smoothly and for the couple to reach a settlement as quick as possible.
When the couple moved in to the 9,696 sq ft mansion on glitzy North Hillcrest Road in the heart of Beverly Hills in 2017, the mansion cost $12 million.
The pair could be looking to earn $5 million and have listed the property with realtor Kurt Rappaport.

Shawn opened up the doors to the mansion for DailyMailTV to record in September and she foretold today’s events.
‘It might be on the market soon,’ she said at the time.
