Four years after going on the market, Celine Dion has finally sold her lavish Florida home at a huge discount.

The villa, which had been on the market since 2013, originally went on sale for $72.5 million before almost $30 million was slashed off the price to $45.5 million in 2016. 

But despite the 'bargain' price tag, it clearly wasn't enough.

It's not known who the new owners are, but one can only assume they will be pleased with the hardly-used estate they managed to snap up for almost half its original asking price. 

The singer has been trying to offload properties as she is currently living full-time in Las Vegas where she has a residency at Caesar's Palace. 

It is there she had been raising her three sons with Rene: Rene-Charles, 16, and six-year-old twins Eddy and Nelson.

In January she listed her private mansion in the exclusive Villa Montmorency neighborhood of Paris.
