Once upon a time in ... Venice? "Suicide Squad" and "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" star Margot Robbie made a substantial off-market deal for a stylishly chic Venice compound. The buy marks Robbie's fifth addition to her real estate portfolio, joining other properties like her multi-million dollar townhouse-style homes on Australia's Gold Coast and a stately manse in L.A.'s genteel Hancock Park.
