Pierce Brosnan has revealed why he is finally walking away from his $US100m ($A149m) Malibu mansion after nearly 30 years. The 73-year-old James Bond star admitted a mix of wildfire terror, earthquake fears and escalating financial pressure had pushed him and wife Keely Shaye Smith to abandon the oceanfront compound.

But I think it’s time to move. Everything changes, everything falls apart,” the Golden Globe nominee said. “We live by this body of earth’s water on a fault in a ring of earthquakes. That creates a fear.” MORE: Vanished star loses home, lover in sad demise Shock as crews rush to Cage’s $16m mansion Sad truth behind Bullock’s $69m fortune Pierce Brosnan is finally walking away from his $US100m Malibu mansion after nearly 30 years.
