The mansion where American producer, director, animator, and dubber Walt Disney once lived was sold at US$74 million or equal to about Rp887.4 billion.  

Hollywood Reporter stated Carolwood Drive property in Holmby Hills, Los Angeles, United States was offered at US$90 million on the price list by Jay Harris and Mauricio Umansky property agent. 

The seller is an investor Gabriel Brener who also owns US soccer club, Houston Dynamo. The house was sold to an international buyer who asked to be anonymous. Brener purchased the house in the 1990s at almost US$ 8.5million and done some renovations on the empty spaces.

According to the President of Pacific Carolwood Society History, Michael Campbell, Walt Disney bought the house in 1949 and lived there until he passed away. 

It was this house that the foundations of the Walt Disney theme parks supposedly took shape, inspired by the one-eighth scale railroad train, dubbed the Carolwood Pacific Railroad, which Disney built around the house.
