Nicolas Cage's Las Vegas, Nevada mansion has been sold - for almost $3.5 million less than he originally paid for it.

The actor, who has been struggling with a series of tax woes, bought the six-bedroom house for $8.5 million in 2006, but the home, which was repossessed in November, has been sold for $4.95 million, according to TMZ.com.

Cage, who still reportedly owes millions to the U.S. government in unpaid taxes, has offloaded a number of properties, including his Bel Air mansion in Los Angeles, which he sold for a fraction of its original $35 million asking price, as well as a Bavarian castle in Germany, a house in Bath, England and two New Orleans, Louisiana properties.
