Success on the big screen is not always a guarantee of success in real life. Just when we thought Sylvester Stallone, 77, could not take any more blows after confirming thatThe Expendables 4 (Expend4bles) would be his final film in the franchise, news broke that the legendary actor had sold his Los Angeles ranch for a whopping $17.2 million. The actor has reportedly put $22.5 million (asking price) into his sizable ranch, thus suffering a startling loss.
So, less than two years afterThe Lords of Flatbushactor bought a 2.2-acre ranch in Los Angeles’ San Fernando Valley, the property’s ownership changed once again.According to records, Creedence Clearwater Revival’s former lead singer, John Fogerty, is the quick-moving new owner.

But even so, John Fogerty’s sizeable payment was noticeably less than Stallone’s $22.5 million asking price (with $1 million less than what theFirst Bloodstar himself paid for the keys back in 2022).
TheLos Angeles Timesreported that the ranch-style house is situated on 2 acres of land and is surrounded by lush greenery.
The house has a 10,500-square-foot main house with a guest house, along with four bedrooms and eight bathrooms. The pool, spa, cabana, gym, and movie theater are among the luxurious amenities that are included in the property.

Nevertheless, Terry Crews and Jet Li also refused to reprise their roles inExpend4bles, which would have disappointed some fans.
The Expendables 4has received generally unfavorable reviews from critics, who criticized the film’s plot, action sequences, Stallone’s limited screen time, the absence of the majority of the original cast, and visual effects.With a $100 million budget, it only made a pitiful $48 million globally, failing miserably at the box office.
