Real Housewives of Beverly Hills stars Lisa and Ken Vanderpump have sold their 17,000 square foot Beverly Hills mansion for a cool $19,000,000.

According to Lisa, now that she and her husband are empty-nesters, they are looking to find a smaller place to hang their hats.

We had such a great offer on the house, one we couldn’t refuse. It’s 17,000 square feet and my daughter, Pandora and son, Max, already moved out of the nest. So it’s just Ken and me and it’s really too big for two people. We found a beautiful, 10,000-square-foot home in Beverly Hills which I adore. I’m never happy with anything I buy. As a designer, I like to design things my way, just like Villa Blanca restaurant and my new bar SUR. The new house needs extensive remodeling to suit me and my husband’s needs. Pandora wanted to get married in the house and I’m sad both she and I won’t live in it to savor those precious memories. But life goes on and I’m looking forward to my new house and landscaping it and of course decorating it. It’s going to be a lot of work but at the same time, a lot of fun.

I don’t know Lisa, is 10,000 square feet going to be enough room for you, Ken AND Giggy?  What if good old Cedric wants to move back in; where on earth will he sleep?

Of course, I kid.  I think downsizing after the kids leave home is a great idea.  Especially when you stand to make $7,000,000 on the deal.

Keep up the good work, Lisa!
