According to Coldwell Banker Realty's property listing, the home sold unfurnished on August 19 for $7.5 million under its April asking price of $40 million. TMZ first broke the news that Lopez and Rodriquez were the buyers, and later reports by South Florida Business Journal and the Wall Street Journal corroborated the buyers' identity.
