The 29-year-old comedian expressed his excitement after buying the doll, but some of his fans voiced their concerns.Although the exact details of Rife's purchase remain undisclosed, it's unlikely that he bought the Annabelle doll separately. Instead, the doll is believed to be included as part of the overall acquisition of the Warrens' home and their occult museum. According to the People, the price at which the property has been sold is also not revealed, but two realty sites have placed the price of the house at 30 Knollwood St, Monroe, Connecticut, at around $627,600 and between $551,914 and $683,000 (Rs 5.21 crore to Rs 5.67 crore).In another TikTok video, Rife shared the reasoning behind his decision and its importance. "This might be the most important and prominent piece of paranormal history in the world," he said. "I know a lot of you guys don't know what any of this means whatsoever, but if you follow ghost stuff, this is as big as it gets."The Warren property reportedly spans 2,544 square feet and includes four bedrooms and two bathrooms. Significantly, since Rife is also acquiring the museum's collection of artefacts, it's likely he may have paid more than the estimated property value.According to areport, the comedian and actor by profession, Matt Rife, has gained massive prominence over the years through his stand-up shows and gigs, and his net worth stands at $40 million (Rs 332 crore) in 2025.Not only this, but the comedian was also included in the Forbes Top-Earning Creators list at the 7th position.No separate price was ever disclosed.

Was the Annabelle doll ever actually missing?No, the doll was never stolen or lost. Viral rumours in May 2025 claimed that Annabelle had disappeared during the "Devils on the Run" tour, fueled partly by a fire at the nearby Nottoway Plantation.
