This home, bought for $2.1 million, was put up for sale for $2.675 million in late 2017. While not at the asked price, the home was sold in February of 2018 for $2.5 million. Now Kaitlin Olson and Rob McElhenney's children, Axel Lee McElhenney, and Leo Grey McElhenney, whose faces are usually hidden, along with the duo themselves are living a wonderful life together in their wonderful new home.
The couple may be living in a wonderful home with what they need, but there are many who don't have their daily necessities, especially during the COVID-19 outbreak. As such, the duo set up a GoFundMe page to provide hunger relief. With an initial target of $50,000, the couple managed to earn $40,000 on the first day and a grand of $103,000 by the end of the second. The couple also donated a good sum of money themselves and it surely made a huge impact for those families in need.
