Madonna Selling Her Wiltshire Mansion?

Madonna is set to make a tidy profit — after selling the country home bought for $18m in 2001 for a whopping $24m.

The Material Girl star, 49, decided to put the Wiltshire pad on the market because she and hubby Guy Ritchie don’t spend enough time there. The pop superstar used to spend her time riding horses around the 5-acre estate, but since focusing on her career again, the singer has not spent enough time at Ashcombe to make it worth running.

A source said: “She has been touring and promoting for months and not visited. She still loves riding but despite many lessons is not very proficient. Her famous fall, in which she broke a shoulder, was not her last. Her longing to be an English countrywoman has also faded. Having tried shooting she hates it and banned Guy from doing it there. The family did have a routine of going to the Kabbalah center on Saturday mornings in London. Then they’d travel to Ashcombe and spend the weekend riding, shooting and jogging. But it hasn’t happened much lately.”

Madonna — who celebrates her 50th birthday later this year — now plans to spend her days at her homes in London. She is thought to own at least five properties in the Capital. They include a $14m Marylebone townhouse in which she lives with Guy, and kids Lourdes, 10, Rocco, 6, and David, 2. They also have places in New York and Beverly Hills, US and own facilies which are in the use of the Kabbalah center.
