The husband-and-wife acting team of Simon Baker, from The Mentalist, and Rebecca Rigg recorded a profitable property play when their Malibu home fetched $US5,185,000 in 2005.

The five-bedroom house had cost $US1,650,000 in 2001. It was a 1957 single-storey ranch-style house with detached guest house.

Property records indicate it was sold again in October last year for $US4 million. It came with access rights to the Little Dune private beach.

The couple now reside at a Santa Monica home with pool which cost $US4.8 million in 2007.
