We all know more than a few celebrities at this point, yes? Through the years, the entertainment industry has introduced us to numerous talented figures. While they all undoubtedly excel in different fields like movies and music, these people all have one thing in common: they’re famous stars under the spotlight.

Along with releasing new hit records or starring in big-budget blockbusters, these stars also attend red-carpet events where they interact with fans and deal with the paparazzi. Once all these activities are done, though, it’s safe to say most of these celebrities spend their free time away from the bright lights of showbiz. Now the question is: where?

Well, for today’s article, we’ll be talking about the mansions and other properties celebrities spent their investment money on. While these homes all feature differing amenities, one feat they do share would undoubtedly be the privacy they provide their residents. Plus, chances are likely we might also look at a couple of lovely vacation spots these stars go to on their free days. Now, without further ado, let’s get on with the article.

Jodie Kidd | $923,000 | Kirdford Village, West Sussex

Beginning her career at 15 years old, Jodie Kidd has since made quite a name for herself in the modeling scene. Through the years, she has had the chance to work with big-name brands such as Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent, Motorola, and Ghost. Outside the runway, she also has a couple of other notable feats to her name. For one, she isn’t afraid of spending some fuel off the gas tank for some impressive mileage on the racetrack.

Like most of her colleagues, Jodie values her time away from all the glitz and glamour. With that in mind, it’s no wonder she bought herself this modest-looking home/pub in West Sussex’s Kirdford village. While it’s unknown how much she bought the place for, most of the houses around Kirdford average around £665,022 – that’s approximately $923,000. Initially known for its “spit and sawdust” reputation, Jodie transformed the property into one of the village’s most-visited gastropubs, The Half Moon Pub.

Tommy Hilfiger | $47.5 Million | Greenwich, Connecticut

You probably see the name Tommy Hilfiger on perfumes and just think of it as a brand. He is, however, a very real person and is the founder of his namesake corporation. Building a fashion empire in upstate New York backin the ‘70s was what kept him busy then. Primarily focused on men’s clothing, he decided to expand it to cater to women’s fashion as well. His fashion directions are usually influenced by music, so it can change rather significantly.

Hilfiger likes his garden, so his 22-acre estate in Greenwich has a number of them spread all around the massive land. There is also a water garden, which could make those engaged in plumbing services a bit dizzy due to its size. This is in addition to a massive swimming pool and tennis court. It is only expected that when stressed out in New York, the entrepreneur would travel the distance to relax in his palatial home.

Kim Kardashian | $60 Million | Hidden Hills, California

Besides scripted movies and TV series, the entertainment industry has spent portions of investment money producing more than a few reality shows through the years. This, of course, includes Keeping Up with the Kardashians. As the title suggests, the program revolves around members of the Kardashian-Jenner family, including Kim Kardashian.

Besides appearing on the show, Kardashian has also earned quite a fortune from her career in the fashion scene. Thanks to that, she has even made more than enough to buy this mansion in California’s Hidden Hills neighborhood. Initially purchased for $40 million, the property is now reportedly worth around $60 million. Along with its impressive architecture and design, this haven also has plenty of areas for residents to relax in. Plus, it has amenities to keep the star and her family entertained, including a music studio and a pool area, to mention a few.

Adam Lavine | $45 Million | Beverly Hills, Mansion

 Even before Adam Levine became famous for being a member of Maroon 5, he was already a guitarist and lead singer for the now-disbanded Kara’s Flowers. They were met with commercial failure, so they reorganized and formed Maroon 5 in the process. Among the more remarkable albums from this group are Red Pill Blues, Hands All Over, and Jordi. Due to their excellent performance, they rose to fame, with Levine getting three Grammy Awards and three American Music Awards to his credit.

The Maroon 5 frontman is certainly knowledgeable not only in singing but also in flipping houses. He has a rather impressive real estate portfolio, and when the prices go up, he sells them to the willing buyer. One of the houses he recently listed on the market was his seven-bedroom mansion in Beverly Hills, California. It is tucked in the most private parts of the area, so the $45 million price tag is certainly worth it.

Rob Lowe | $42.5 Million | Montecito, California

An established Hollywood star, Rob Lowe began his career at the age of 15 with various TV roles back in the ‘80s. He was a member of the Brat Pack and has also appeared in movies like Class, The Hotel New Hampshire, and Square Dance. Most of the current generation of viewers, however, know him as Oliver Strand from 9-1-1: Lone Star. Just recently, he also made his directorial debut with the remake The Bad Seed.

The St Elmo’s Fire actor is no stranger to living lavishly, and his $42.5 home in Montecito is testament to that. With such a huge house, he must also be paying hefty annual taxes and spending on significant maintenance costs for the estate’s six bedrooms and its list of luxurious amenities. Among the treats in the house are its grand fireplaces, cool flooring, large windows, a garden, and a view of the Santa Ynez Mountains.

Taylor Hill | Undisclosed Amount | Nashville

Like many of her colleagues, Taylor Hill began her career at a young age. Initially a gymnast, she eventually made her way to the modeling scene, debuting with a gig for the Intimissimi clothing brand. Since then, she has worked with many of the fashion world’s biggest brands, including Chanel, Armani, Versace, Tommy Hilfiger, and Ralph Lauren.

When she isn’t gracing the walkways or appearing on shows, you could rest assured this Victoria’s Secret Angel is spending some quality downtime in her Nashville home. Originally built around 1936, you could certainly tell that plenty of investment money was spent making this beautiful log cabin. With the 3,622-square-foot home sitting on 1.29 acres of land, the property has plenty of outdoor space and even features a pool. Even so, while its amenities truly are impressive, this haven’s crown jewel would undoubtedly be its warm and comforting atmosphere.

G-eazy | $1.75 Million | Hollywood Hills

What is itwith rappers and their rebranded names? Well, we think it adds to their distinctness as artists and is a social commentary, too. Born Gerald Earl Gillum, he likes to go by G-Eazy. The rapper has released several albums, including When It’s Dark Out and These Things Happen.  When he was just learning the ropes of the music industry, G-Eazy did not actually sing but was a record producer. However, when he gained connections, he started singing and rose to fame thereafter.

Just recently, G-Eazy dropped $1.75 million for a home in Hollywood Hills. Originally built back in 1979, the property has 3,642 square feet of living space, solid flooring, and relatively high ceilings. Its handmade iron rails are reminiscent of Medieval times, but the gym and the recording studio are sure signs of modern times. It also has a city to jetliner view from every room, which is awesome.

George Vanderbilt | $184 Million | Asheville, North

 The Vanderbilt name is old, and so it does not resonate that much with the current generation anymore. However, for those born in the early 1900s, this name commanded respect as they were in charge of many essential services then, including railroads, steamboats, and other business enterprises. One of the most notable members of this family is the art collector George Vanderbilt II.

Due to his obsession with art collections, and art pieces can be huge, Vanderbilt built a 250-room mansion so that he could house all of his collections in one place. Known as the Biltmore Estate, this palatial property is perhaps the closest the US could give credit in terms of a royal palace. More than 1,000 people toiled for six years just to get this constructed. It also sits on 100,000 acres of land, so we can only imagine the ground maintenance efforts.

Bill Gates | $145 Million | Medina Washington

Much has been said about Bill Gates, but one thing that stood out is that the man has vision and has lived a rather simple lifestyle. He has even been spotted queuing for a hotdog at a stand. However, with current marital issues, we might not see much of Gates out and about as he would have to constantly meet with lawyers. The tech magnate has not signed a prenuptial agreement before, thinking that the marriage would last forever.

One of the points of contention would be who would own the Xanadu 2.0 home. It has all the perks of a technological visionary, so some say it should go to Gates. There is also an insane collection of art in the house, along with seven bedrooms and six kitchens. Who needs six of them? Well, in case things are not settled, this could be up in the market for at least $145 million.

 Rihanna | $22 Million | Carribean Island

At this point, just about everyone has heard of Rihanna. Born Robyn Rihanna Fenty, the singer got her first shot to fame after releasing her first two albums, Music of the Sun and A Girl Like Me. Since then, along with releasing one hit record after another, the Umbrella singer has also dabbled in the acting scene, landing a role for projects such as Battleship, Ocean’s 8, Home, and Bates Motel.

Despite being a well-known figure in the Hollywood industry, Rihanna still has a special place for her home in Barbados. With that said, in 2013, the singer/actress spent some investment money purchasing this lovely villa on the Caribbean island. Bought for $22 million, the property undoubtedly has everything the singer and her family needs for a home. Along with scenic views of the ocean, this haven also has lovely gardens, a pool area, and even a gym – and don’t forget the private chef and its other staff members.

Mick Jagger | $1.98 Million | Lakewood Ranch

The music industry has introduced us to numerous iconic figures through the years. With that said, one such person worth noting would undoubtedly be Mick Jagger, one of the founding members of the rock band, the Rolling Stones. Now often regarded as one of the most influential stars in the rock and roll genre, Jagger eventually got himself a spot in the Rock and Roll and UK Music Hall of Fame.

In recent years, the singer-songwriter made quite an investment in the real estate side of things. In 2020, he bought this gorgeous house at Lakewood Ranch. Along with providing lovely views of its surroundings, another reason Jagger chose the property is for its privacy. Purchased for around $1.98 million, the home has 5,726 square feet of living space and features a swimming pool. Plus, in case the Rolling Stones singer is in the mood for a jam session, he could always visit his neighbors, one of whom is AC/DC singer Brian Johnson.

Paul McCartney | $15.5 Million | New York

Besides Rolling Stone’s Mick Jagger, another musician who has garnered a skyrocketing degree of praise and regard through the years would be the Beatles’ bassist and co-vocalist, Paul McCartney. Skilled in a variety of instruments, notably the bass, guitar, the keyboard, and drums, McCartney is also the mastermind behind a couple of the band’s songs, with Yesterday, Blackbird, and Eleanor Rigby being among the most-covered records to this day.

Along with creating many of the industry’s timeless hits, Paul has also bought himself a couple of nice properties through the years. This includes his penthouse in New York, which he reportedly purchased for $15.5 million. Besides providing residents with a view of Central Park, the apartment also has a couple of amenities worth noting, like a library and a room on its third floor, which could double as a quiet study.

Jason Statham | $18.5 Million | Malibu

We often associate actors for their work in specific genres. With that in mind, it goes without saying that whenever we think of Jason Statham, we think of action movies. Beginning his career as a model, Statham got his film debut with a role in 1998’s Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. Since then, he has become most known for his acting credit in projects such as the Transporter movies, Crank, The Italian Job, The Mechanic, The Expendables, and Hobbs & Shaw.

Outside the spotlight, the actor attracted some attention recently in the real estate side of things. In 2020, Statham sold his Malibu beach house for an impressive price of $18.5 million. Along with providing residents with first-class views of the ocean, the 3,909-square-foot abode also features plenty of cozy living space. Plus, the waves would probably sound like lullabies at night, which is perfect for sleepless nights, perhaps.

Robert Pattinson | Undisclosed Amount | Hollywood Hills

It’s always nice to see actors grow and improve through the years. Well, such is the case for Robert Pattinson, who got his first shot to fame as the lead star in the Twilight movies. Since then, the actor has invented a new image for himself by starring in indie features, such as Cosmopolis, The Lost City of Z, and The Lighthouse. With that said, he also garnered widespread acclaim for his performance in Christopher Nolan’s time-bending spy-thriller Tenet and is set to star as the titular lead in the upcoming superhero film, The Batman.

In 2014, the actor asked for a moving company’s services when he moved to this lovely home located in the Hollywood Hills. Along with being surrounded by trees, this modest-looking abode also radiates a cozy vibe, perfect for when the Tenet actor returns home after a long day’s work.

Harrison Ford | $8.2 Million |Brentwood

Harrison Ford is undoubtedly one of the most successful Hollywood actors of all time. He’s known for playing the role of Han Solo in the Star Wars trilogy back in the ‘60s and ‘70s. Besides acting credits and recognition as an actor, Ford also earned a surmountable fortune as an actor, and he’s used it to acquire the best things that life has to offer, including real estate properties. One of the properties under Ford’s ownership is his Brentwood home, and he’s currently selling it for over $8.2 million.

If you’re looking for space, then Ford’s Brentwood home has all the space that you need. The property was originally built back in 1951, boasting over 7,164 square feet of living space, four bedrooms, and multiple bathrooms. It also has a swimming pool, a spacious poolside space, a one-bedroom guesthouse, and two detached guest/staff suites.

Mark Zuckerberg | $59 Million |Lake Tahoe

There’s no question Mark Zuckerberg is one of the most influential people on the planet today. Being the third wealthiest man on the planet certainly has its perks, one of which is the ability to acquire any property that you want. Interestingly, Zuckerberg has an impressive real estate portfolio that’s valued at over $300 million. One of the properties under his ownership is a sprawling Lake Tahoe compound worth $59 million.

We’re pretty confident that Zuckerberg didn’t need any home loan before he acquired this beautiful and massive property. The compound spans up to 10 acres, and it has a total of over 15 bedrooms. Besides a good number of bedrooms, the property also boasts a surplus of lavish amenities, and it even has numerous piers that can house multiple boats. The property also features breathtaking views of Lake Tahoe.

 Donna Karan | $39 Million |Turks & Caicos, Parrot City

Donna Karan is a well-known and successful American fashion designer who is best known as the creator of the DKNY clothing labels and Donna Karan New York. The fashion mogul owns a massive property located in Parrot Cay in the Turks and Caicos Islands. Interestingly, Karan recently listed a portion of her longtime family island retreat for a cool price of $39 million.

Karan purchased the 10-acre beachfront property back in 2002, and she’s willing to sell over seven acres of it for the price listed above. Without a doubt, the property for sale is an excellent investment as it features two guest villas that are flanking a center dining pavilion. It also comes with three swimming pools, a chef’s kitchen, staff quarters, and a yoga pavilion on the beach. The only portion that Ms. Karan will be keeping is the family home, the spa house, and a couple of swimming pools.

Leonardo DiCaprio | $10 Million |Malibu, California

Leonardo DiCaprio is one of the most recognizable and sought-after actors in Hollywood today. He’s appeared in countless blockbuster flicks over the past couple of decades, and he’s made a surmountable fortune as an actor. Interestingly, DiCaprio is also known as a real estate tycoon. He owns several properties across the United States, and his real estate portfolio is estimated to be worth around $100 million.

One interesting property under DiCaprio’s name is a beautiful mansion in Malibu, California. The property stretches across 1,765 square feet and features three bedrooms and two bathrooms. Interestingly, the award-winning actor listed this property for $10 million, and it’s undoubtedly a promising investment for anyone who has an extra $10 million hiding in their bank accounts. Along with multiple rooms, the home also features various celeb-grade amenities and highly desirable beachfront views and cottages.

Elvis Presley | $937,000 |Memphis, Tennessee

Elvis Presley is undoubtedly one of the most iconic musicians in history. He was also one of the wealthiest artists by the time his career peaked, and it was pretty easy for him to acquire any property that he wants. One of Presley’s properties was a beautiful estate in Memphis, Tennessee. He bought the home back in 1957 when he was only 22 years old for a cool $102,500. In case you’re wondering, $102,500 is now equivalent to $937,000 in today’s money.

It’s safe to assume that Presley had no idea that this investment would turn into the most famous home in America. His Memphis home is now a National Historic Landmark, and it sits on a massive 14-acre land, boasting several rooms, five staircases, and a bunch of Elvis Presley memorabilia. Besides the White House, this iconic Memphis property is the most-visited home in the United States.

Jeff Bezos | $35 Million |Washington, D.C.

Jeff Bezos is certainly one of the most powerful and influential people on the planet today. With a staggering net worth of $194 billion, it’s safe to say that it won’t be a problem for him to acquire any property that he wants. Interestingly, Bezos has been known to acquire several properties throughout the years. He even has a portfolio of real estate investments that’s reportedly worth a staggering $500 million!

One of his most impressive properties is his property in Washington, D.C. The Amazon honcho reportedly dropped a cool $23 million for the former Textile Museum back in 2016, around the time after he became the sole owner of the Washington Post. He then added $12 million for a couple of renovations. Today, the highly desirable property features ten bedrooms, eight full bathrooms, 11 fireplaces, and six powder rooms.

 Ryan Murphy | $10 Million |Beverly Hills

Ryan Murphy is a well-known American television writer, producer, and director. He’s best known for producing and creating several television productions, including Glee, American Horror Story, Popular, Ratched, and many more. Interestingly, Murphy is also known for acquiring various properties, and one of his most notable acquisitions was his luxurious Beverly Hills home. He reportedly bought this beautiful home from actress Diane Keaton for $10 million.

The property is undoubtedly lavish, and it stretches over 8,500 square feet. It comes with seven bedrooms and seven bathrooms, plus two powder rooms. Murphy recently sold the home, but it certainly took him a while. He was looking for a decent return on his investment with an asking price of $18 million, but he sold it for almost $2 million less at $16.25 million. Nonetheless, he still made millions from the sale.

Michael Jordan | $14.7 Million |Jupiter Island, Florida

There’s no question that Michael Jordan was one of the most iconic athletes in America. Throughout the years, the Chicago Bulls icon developed a passion for acquiring nice things, including properties. One of the properties that Jordan acquired was his beautiful mansion located in Jupiter Island, Florida. He reportedly bought this lavish property for $14.7 million back in 2010, and we’re more than confident that he didn’t need any home loan to help cover the bill.

It’s interesting to know that this mansion was the most expensive non-waterfront property in the region’s Palm Beaches at the time of purchase. Jordan’s mansion features 11 bedrooms, six on the second floor alone, and several celebrity-grade amenities. It stretches up to 28,000 square feet, and it sits in a three-acre homesite. Interestingly, the home also sits incredibly close to the highly selective Bears Club, an exclusive golf community designed by Jack Nicklaus.

Carlos Santana | $20.5 Million |Kauai, Hawaii

It’s impossible not to know who Carlos Santana is. He’s an iconic and legendary Mexican-American guitarist who rose into popularity during the ‘60s and ‘70s with his band Santana. Without a doubt, Santana cultivated an incredibly successful music career that enabled him to earn millions of dollars. In turn, he can easily spoil himself with luxurious things, including extravagant properties.

Santana recently acquired a real estate investment in the Hawaiian island of Kauai. He already owns one home on the island, for which he paid $8 million, and he recently purchased an even larger mansion nearby for a cool $20.5 million. Santana’s new place is undoubtedly desirable, and it’s made up of four distinct pods that interconnect around a living space. It’s a unique home that stretches over 8,000 square feet, and it features several rooms, an infinity pool, and an outdoor kitchen.

Marc Anthony | $22 Million | Coral Gables, California

Marco Antonio Muniz, also known as Marc Anthony, is a well-known American singer, actor, record executive, and television producer. He’s known as the world’s top selling tropical salsa artist of all time, having won three Grammy Awards. Besides awards and recognition, Anthony was also able to purchase several properties with the help of his incredibly illustrious career, one of which was his lavish home in Coral Gables, California.

The Grammy-winning singer once owned a beautiful mansion in Coral Gables, California. He reportedly spent $19 million to acquire the property, and we’re pretty confident that he didn’t need to take out a hefty personal loan to pay for it. The home features 12 bedrooms, 13 bathrooms, plus two powder rooms. It also has an elevator, a swimming pool, and a surplus of luxurious celebrity-grade amenities. Anthony recently listed the property for $27 million, but he was only able to sell it for around $22 million.

Derek Jeter | $22 Million |Tampa, Florida

There’s no question that Derek Jeter is one of the most legendary players that baseball has ever seen. He was one of the most celebrated athletes in America during his playing days, and he’s made millions of dollars from his illustrious baseball career. In turn, it was pretty easy for him to acquire any property or investment that he wants, and one of the properties he once owned was his massive residence in Tampa, Florida.

The former New York Yankee built this $22 million sprawling waterfront home in Tampa back in 2012. It features over 30,875 square feet of living space that’s sitting on 1.25-acre land. Jeter’s former Tampa home also came with several bedrooms and bathrooms and luxurious amenities such as a home gym, a saltwater pool, three-car garages, an outdoor kitchen, and a club room. You could say that this legendary Yankee shortstop knew how to live luxuriously!

LeBron James | $23 Million |Brentwood, California

You could make the case that LeBron James is on his way to becoming one of the greatest athletes who has ever lived. He was able to make hundreds of millions of dollars from his player salary, endorsements, and investments, and it’s pretty easy for him to acquire any property that he wants. Upon signing with the Lakers in 2018, James acquired a massive mansion in Brentwood for $23 million. You could say that his Brentwood palace-like residence is fit for a king.

James’ Brentwood pad comes with eight bedrooms and 11 bathrooms, boasting highly desirable French oak floors and marble countertops. The massive home also features luxurious amenities, such as a rooftop terrace, an incredibly spacious master bedroom with a private patio, and a wine cellar.

Interestingly, she purchased a sprawling property located in Malibu for $22.5 million back in 2014. At the time, she was one of the highest-paid artists in the industry, so we’re pretty confident that she didn’t need a home loan to help pay for the mansion.

Lady Gaga’s oceanfront Malibu residence sits in a relatively normal suburban neighborhood. The property spans across 10,270 square feet on a six-acre lot that is right across from Zuma Beach. Gaga’s lavish Malibu pad features five bedrooms and seven bathrooms which should be enough to cater to her guests.

Jennifer Lopez | $28 Million |Bel-Air

Jennifer Lopez is undoubtedly one of the most recognizable pop superstars today. She’s made a hefty fortune throughout her career, and interestingly, she used it to acquire various real estate investments throughout the years. You could say that she’s a master of acquiring desirable properties as she currently has a multimillion-dollar real estate portfolio—one of the properties under J. Lo’s ownership is a beautiful French country-style mansion located in Bel-Air.

Lo reportedly dropped a cool $28 million in order to acquire this beautiful 1940’s mansion. It comes with several bedrooms and bathrooms, but the main highlight of this home is its 30-seat screening room and an amphitheater that can seat up to 100 people. Herextravagant home also comes with a downstairs pub, a spacious backyard, a desirable infinity pool, and a surplus of luxurious and extravagant amenities.

Mel Gibson | $35 Million|Costa Rica

Mel Gibson is unquestionably one of the most successful Hollywood actors of all time. He’s received countless recognition and accolades throughout his career, a surmountable fortune from his earnings as an actor. Considering that he’s incredibly wealthy, we’re not surprised to learn that he owns a luxurious jungle retreat located in the Nicoya Peninsula of Costa Rica.

Gibson listed his luxurious Costa Rican property for a whopping $35 million. However, he brought the price down a few years ago to $29.8 million. His extravagant jungle hideaway is undoubtedly an excellent investment for those who have an extra $30 million in their bank accounts as the property comes with seven bedrooms and eight bathrooms. It also sits on over 400 acres of pristine rainforest, and it also boasts more than two miles of a highly desirable beach coastline.

Simon Cowell | $25 Million | Beverly Hills, California

We know how strongly worded Simon Cowell’s comments can be whenever he sits as a judge on talent shows. Be it America’s Got Talent, American Idol, or The X-Factor US, the outspoken talent master is sure to give a piece of his mind. However, he is very appreciative of true talent and would not hesitate to press the Golden Buzzer for those who truly deserve it. He does know a thing or two about scouting talents as it is what he had been doing since the ‘80s.

As it happens, Cowell also has good money management skills, as evidenced by a significant return he got from a recent real estate sale. His Beverly Hills mansion was just recently traded on the market for $25 million. In 2004, the TV personality paid $8 million for the six-bed place, which has a maid’s and butler’s room—meaning he earned a net of $17 million, probably a little less considering the renovation he had to do the annual maintenance and taxes.

Celine Dion | $38.5 Million | Jupiter Island, Florida

Noted for being the number one commercially successful Canadian in the history of music, Celine Dion surprisingly did not initially sing in English. A couple of the first albums she released were in French, but she saw the large English market and made the needed investments in learning the language. It did pay off, obviously, and we now have classics like It’s All Coming Back to Me Now and My Heart Will Go On.

When it comes to his Jupiter Island home in Florida, the singer’s heart did not go on loving the place as she decided to part ways with it back in 2017. Perhaps it was also sad for her to let go of the 13-bedroom sprawling estate, but it was needed for her to streamline and consolidate her finances. When she entertained at this place, she did it in style, at the full private water park.

P. Diddy | $43.6 Million | Holmby Hills, California

Sean Combs in real life, P. Diddy is known for his extravagant living. It is kind of expected as the record executive and entrepreneur has money to burn anyway. His financial advisor might not approve of all his moves, however, such as gifting his then young son a very expensive car. Well, P. Diddy is not all about spending money but also making it. He is the person behind the success of many musical artists, including Usher, Mary J. Blige, and The Notorious B.I.G.

Dropping $43.6 million on a house seems like a regular transaction for P. Diddy, which was something he did back in 2014 for a colossal, 17,000 square feet house that has eight bedrooms, a wine cellar and a gym. Even in quarantine, the record producer would not be bored as he has his very own 35-seater private cinema. He could always dip in the lagoon pool during the hot summers and take a walk in the luxury grotto.

Tiger Woods | $51.2 Million | Jupiter Island, Florida

PGA Tour winner Tiger Woods has had a brush with mishaps recently, and no, we are not talking about controversies about his relationships or golf, but one that involved his health insurance company. He is said to be in recovery, but the road is long, considering the severity of his injuries. Still, Woods is considered one of the best golf players in the world and would likely remain so.

If you think that Celine Dion is the only celebrity who happens to have a property on Jupiter Island, think again. Woods is also part of the exclusive few who have a massive property in one of the wealthiest zip codes in Florida. His wife, Ellen, and the famed golf player pooled together $51.2 million to buy a house in 2006, only to tear it down and then redo the whole 9,000 square meter living space.

Will Smith | $49.7 Million | Calabasas, California

Blockbuster film actor Will Smith is primarily known for his acting skills with masterpieces like Men In Black, Independence Day, and The Pursuit of Happyness, wherein he received a nomination for the Best Actor category for the Oscars for the latter. What some may not know about the actor is that he also dabbled in music as he was honing his skills in acting. You would probably be surprised that he is the singer behind the theme song of Men in Black.

Being married to Jada Pinkett-Smith is one of the best feelings even for him. She has been supportive of the actor, be it in his acting or even paying the mortgage for their $49.7 million house in Calabasas. This section of California is where most stars have taken up residence, so prices tend to get quite high. Their home boasts of its Moroccan theme, nine bedrooms, a recording studio, a meditation lounge, and even a pool room.

Beyoncé | $88 Million | Bel-Air, California

The ‘90s was when Beyoncé started gaining recognition when she was still part of the band Destiny’s Child. She took on the challenge and later launched a solo career, which proved to be the best decision. Some of her hit solo albums include Dangerously in Love and B’Day. At one time, her song, Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It), was played on almost every device in the world, making it a theme song for all the single ladies across the globe.

We know Will Smith was the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, but its Queen is, without a doubt, Beyoncé. One of the most well-known power couples live in this plush neighborhood, and Jay-Z and fellow singer Beyoncé dropped a serious amount of investment money just to secure the place. The hillside estate was bought for $88 million and was recorded as the #6 most expensive sale in Los Angeles. The home has a 15-car garage, a wellness center and 30,000 square feet of living space.

George Lucas | $100 Million | Nicasio, California

Apart from the context of Star Wars or Indiana Jones, George Lucas is rarely talked about. The renowned director and producer, however, is one of the most financially successful celebrities in Hollywood. His work might primarily be behind the camera, but his LucasArts, Lucasfilm, and Industrial Light & Magic companies were responsible for bringing to life some of the well-loved movies today, like Strange Magic, Labyrinth, and Willow.

His name alone should serve as a credit check, so we are sure that when Lucas acquired the 4,700-acre property in Nicasio, California, the real estate agent did not have any issues giving him the keys on the spot. The Skywalker Ranch, as it is now called, is technically not his primary residence but more like where all collaborations about the Star Wars franchise are done. Some amenities of the exclusive place are a private movie house, an expensive art collection, and the best sound system in the world.

Oprah Winfrey | $101 Million | Montecito, California

Being the Queen of All Media certainly is an achievement for Oprah Winfrey. She is not just rich, but she has touched the lives of so many people through her program, The Oprah Winfrey Show. The media mogul has also been ranked among the most generous givers among Black Americans. In 2007, she was also ranked as the most influential woman not just in the US, but all around the world.

A far cry from her impoverished days in rural Mississippi, Winfrey could now afford not just one house but many. One of those she owns is a house she bought for $50 million in 2001 and is now valued at $101 million. Known as the Promised Land, it serves as home to the 5,000 square feet house. The estate is complete with horse stables, fruit orchards, and manicured grounds. With all these, Winfrey should have the most advanced home security system.

Hugh Hefner | $113 Million | Holmby Hills

The founder and editor in chief of a famous men’s magazine, Hugh Hefner, certainly lived the life. He was a very vocal advocate of artistic freedom of expression, and, therefore, the First Amendment Rights. While Hefner lived a very liberal life, he actually hailed from a rather conservative family. He also served in the military from 1944 to 1946, writing for the military newspaper. He even took graduate courses in Sociology but never got the degree as he dropped out later on.

Hefner bought a mansion in Holmby Hills for $1 million back in 1974. Over the years and after many parties, renovation, and value appreciation, the house is now worth $113 million. The Tudor-styled house has 29 rooms, a fireworks permit, and, interestingly, a zoo license. With Hefner passing away, the ownership of the house changed hands and is now under the care of Daren Metropoulos, a billionaire.

Lewis Hamilton | $25 Million | London

Formula 1 racers are heavy-earners, and that is very evident in Lewis Hamilton. The British racer is undoubtedly one of the best drivers in the world, so it’s not shocking to see him spend his investment money on a $25 million London mansion and $44 million New York penthouse.

According to sources, his luxurious Manhattan abode features a wine cellar, a squash court, a private gym, a library, and its very own swimming pool. The best part? It has a sprawling view of the famous Hudson River. He also has high-profile neighbors, including Mike Myers and Jennifer Lawrence. On the other hand, his London mansion boasts six bedrooms, two massive bathrooms, and four reception areas. It also has an impressive history, having been built by the architect Samuel Johns and previously owned by Burberry chief designer Christopher Bailey. However, it has been said that the race car driver doesn’t spend that much time on his British property.

Pierce Brosnan | $100 Million | Malibu

 When it comes to homes, Irish actor Pierce Brosnan likes to live in a true James Bond fashion.

The 68-year-old actor built this investment property together with his wife Keely Brosnan back in 2002. The beachfront property’s design and architecture were inspired mainly by Brosnan’s highly successful Bond film Die Another Day. Its name, “The Orchid House,” came from another one of his Bond films, Tomorrow Never Dies. As you’d expect, the home is bursting with only the most luxurious amenities. For starters, you’d be greeted by an awe-inspiring view of the ocean through the living room’s floor-to-ceiling doors. It is also built like a hotel with five bedrooms, four fireplaces, walk-in closets, and private terraces. However, the actor and his wife have decided to put it on the market for $100 million. So if you have $100 million hiding somewhere, this might be an excellent way to spend it.

Marilyn Monroe | $7 Million | Helena Drive, Los Angeles

It also boasts an expansive backyard with a large swimming pool.  According to sources, the actress was so in love with her home that she spent months decorating it with items she bought from her travels to Mexico. Sadly, the actress never got the chance to finish it, and the property was eventually placed on the market for $7 million.

American fashion designer Tom Ford spent his entire career creating lavish clothes, so it’s only appropriate for him to live a life of pure luxury.

We’re sure the designer has several property investments scattered all around the globe, but his $17 million mansion in London is undoubtedly an eye-catcher! The exterior of the house is painted with all-white paint. However, its British-Victorian details give it all the flavor it needs to exude both style and luxury. While the outside appearance of the stately home is a bit more traditional, the inside is littered with only the latest interior trend. During his stay in the mansion, the designer transformed it into modern contemporary Zen. Inside, it has walls splashed with cool-toned paint and accented with colorful, eclectic artworks. It also doesn’t fall short of celebrity-grade amenities like a private gym, a wine cellar, a state-of-the-art kitchen, and many more! The home is already up for sale, and we’re certain the next owners would be delighted with the property.

The rapper also gets to call The Weeknd and Kylie Jenner his neighbors. Just imagine the parties these celebrities would be having in their posh neighborhood.

Gisele Bundchen | $33 Million | Boston, Massachusetts

Supermodel Gisele Bundchen has been the face of several luxury brands for several years now. So, it’s not surprising that the Brazilian stunner also lives a life of pure luxury. Just take a look at the model’s former $33-million home.

The property is located in Boston, Massachusetts, and was custom-built for the Bundchen and her husband, Tom Brady. Like its owners, the house is also stunning.

Patrick Dempsey | Undisclosed Amount | Malibu

 When Grey’s Anatomy actor Patrick Dempsey was looking for a home, he made it clear that he wanted something with architectural significance. Well, that certainly came true when he purchased this gorgeous Malibu mansion designed by the famed architect Frank Gehry.

The interior of the home is relatively simple but well-thought-out. However, the actor and his wife, Jillian, decided to put their own twist into it by incorporating vibrant and homely art pieces to give the space a more intimate character. It was also important for the pair to make the home child-friendly, as they had their own young children. To make this happen, the couple transformed their outdoor space and included a pizza oven, a mini soccer field, and an outdoor dining area for family get-togethers. The property also houses an extensive garden of vegetables and flowers. The exact price of the property has not been revealed, but it sure looks like a worthy investment.

Lizzo | $30,000 Per Month | Palm Desert, California

By the looks of it, music has been a vital part of Lizzo’s life ever since she was a kid. Born Melissa Viviane Jefferson, Lizzo began her journey into the music industry during her teens. After a couple of stints with several groups, she eventually released her debut album, Lizzobangers, in 2013. Since then, along with releasing several other hit records, the rapper also landed an acting credit for 2019’s Hustlers, which garnered praise from both audiences and critics.

A celebrity needs to relax from time to time, too. With that said, Lizzo has recently been spotted enjoying her downtime in this gorgeous pad located in Palm Desert, California. With a monthly rental of $30,000, the place already has just about everything to keep residents entertained. Along with offering all-around privacy, the property also features a gym, a pool, and an impressive sound system.

Alicia Keys | $20.8 Million | La Jolla, California

Fans of R&B music have undoubtedly heard of Alicia Keys at this point. At a young age, she already had quite a knack for both singing and playing the piano. By 12 years old, she already began composing songs. Three years later, her music career finally began. Debuting with the now-beloved 2001 album Songs in A Minor, the singer has since released other hits such as Fallin’, Empire State of Mind, and Girl on Fire.

With all the achievements she’s made through the years, it’s no surprise the Smokin’ Aces star has earned a fortune. Recently, around late 2020, the singer made quite an investment in real estate, purchasing the Razor House, located in La Jolla, California. Bought for $20.8 million, this beautiful modern home features amenities, such as a gym, two steam rooms, a rooftop spa, a movie theater, and a gym. Plus, a little fun fact: this artwork of an abode has also appeared in the Iron Man film.

Nicholas Cage | $10.95 Million | San Francisco

His film roles may vary from one genre to another, but you can always rely on Nicolas Cage giving it his 200%. The nephew of famed film director Francis Ford Coppola, Cage’s first acting gig was for his school’s production of Golden Boy. Since then, he has garnered a skyrocketing degree of fame for his work on films, such as Vampire’s Kiss, The Rock, Con Air, and Color Out of Space.

For a time, the Ghost Rider star called this gothic San Francisco house his home, which he bought around for $9.4 million back in 2007 and sold it a year later for a lower price of $7.7 million. With that said, this beauty founds its way back to the market recently for an elevated value of $10.95 million. Originally built in 1914, the house features amenities, such as a powder room, a two-door garage, and a grand library.

Margot Robbie | $3.47 Million | Venice Beach, California

An actress who has garnered widespread praise and recognition in recent years, Margot Robbie, began her career working mostly on indie films and TV shows. After a while, she finally got her first big shot to fame thanks to her role in Martin Scorsese’s Wolf of Wall Street. With that said, that praise and recognition only rose to even greater heights when she took on the role of villain/anti-hero Harley Quinn in DC’s live-action comic book movies.

Meanwhile, in the real estate side of things, the Once Upon a Time in Hollywood actress recently spent some investment money on a house in Venice Beach, California. Along with the purchase, Robbie placed her former home on the market for $3.47 million. Located in Los Angeles’ Hancock Park neighborhood, every corner of the house radiates a relaxing atmosphere.
