Hollywood superstar Samuel L. Jackson, reportedly the highest-grossing actor of all time, is ready to part with his Manhattan home.
The actor and his wife, LaTanya Richardson, listed their Upper East Side condo for $12.95 million at the beginning of November and rose the asking price to an even $13 million last week, according to listing records.

The 3,000-square-foot apartment, located close to Central Park, has four bedrooms, three-and-a-half bathrooms, a formal dining room and a wet bar, according to the listing with Spencer Means of Compass. Mr. Means was not immediately available to discuss the property.
Combined, the apartment’s monthly taxes and common charges run to the tune of around $6,000.
Mr. Jackson purchased the home in the 13-story pre-war building in 2005 for $4.8 million from former NBA basketball player Greg Anthony and his ex-wife, author Crystal McCrary Anthony, property records show.

Prior to their acquisition on the Upper East Side, Mr. Jackson and Ms. Richardson were the owners of a Harlem brownstone, which they sold in 1997 for $125,000, according to property records.
Mr. Jackson, 69, is best known for his roles in a host of Quentin Tarantino-directed films like "Pulp Fiction" (1994) and "Django Unchained" (2012). He has also starred in the "Star Wars" prequel trilogy and is a recurring character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, appearing in films like "Thor" (2011), "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" (2014), and most recently "Avengers: Infinity War" (2018).
A representative for the actor could not be reached for comment.
The New York Post first reported the sale.
