• Jay Leno reportedly just bought a $13.5 million mansion in Newport, Rhode Island.
• The nine-acre property features a pool, tennis court, gardens, terraces, and a six-car garage.
• The home features an ornate, French-inspired interior design.

While Jay Leno has apparently practiced financial discipline throughout his career, he made a recent exception by purchasing a $13.5 million mansion in Newport, Rhode Island, according to the Boston Globe.

The nine-acre property would give Leno and his wife, Mavis, plenty of room to house and entertain guests, as there are eight bedrooms, 11 bathrooms, a tennis court, pool, and private beach.

And the most appealing feature for Leno might be the six-car garage, which will give the antique car enthusiast the opportunity to keep his newest purchases safe from the elements.

Take a look at the property below.

The sprawling property is spread over nine acres.

The house was built in 1936.

Its previous owner was Verner Zevola Reed Jr., who was the US ambassador to Morocco under President Ronald Reagan and vice president of Chase Manhattan Bank.
