Single Natalie Portman Sells Up 10/2/08

Hollywood star Natalie Portman is moving on from her split with musician ex-boyfriend Devendra Banhart - by ditching her New York home.

Just weeks after the Star Wars actress ended her romance with Banhart, she has sold the West Village condominium she has called home for the past three years, for $6.55 million (£3.5 million).

Despite the economic crisis in the U.S., Portman only had to drop $150,000 (£83,000) off her original asking price of $6.7 million (£3.7 million) - leaving her with a healthy $850,000 (£460,000) profit on the apartment.

The home, in the trendy Charles Street neighborhood, boasts three bedrooms, three bathrooms and a huge balcony.
