Jeff aka The Dude and his beloved wife, Susan Geston, initially purchased the slice of heaven in April 2014 for $6.85 million.
After mudslides “severely damaged” the property, renovations ensued to not only restore its original glory but also give it a revamp.
The Golden Globe Award winner listed the home for sale in May 2019 with an original asking price of just under $8 million.With a few million added to his bank account, Jeff already has a notable net worth estimated at $70 million. Such a fortune is not too surprising as the star began his A-list acting career back in 1958 alongside his father Lloyd Bridges, and his brother Beau Bridges.Jeff, Lloyd and Beau Bridges at the 61st Academy Awards in Los Angeles, California on March 29, 1989 | Source: Getty Images
