Brad Pitt has sold his Hollywood Hills home for $39m, just days before Los Angeles’ new Measure ULA tax went into effect.

The Bullet Train actor closed on the sale of his Craftsman-style house in late March, avoiding the so-called “mansion tax” that went into effect on 1 April. The new tax will require sellers of properties of more than $5m to pay a four per cent transfer tax, while a 5.5 per cent tax will be charged to property sales of more than $10m.
