Celebrity Mansions That Are Worth A Fortune

It's safe to say that, on the whole, celebrities make a ton of money. Sure, some of them are definitely richer than others, but for the most part, they have a lot more than the average person. That's why so many stars can afford to live in the most incredible houses.

The properties that are worth eight figures and above are the type of thing that we can only dream of with so many bedrooms, bathrooms, and other amenities that we wouldn't know what to do with them all. We'd still love to have them, though.

Ryan Murphy bought two properties and made them into one expensive compound

• Value of Property: $10.65 million
• Year of Purchase: 2005
• Location: Laguna Beach, Orange County

Ryan Murphy has a lot of big TV shows to his name. From the musical dramedy 'Glee' to the horror anthology series 'American Horror Story,' he's been an incredibly busy man throughout his career as a television producer. So, we're perhaps not surprised that he's been able to afford some truly expensive places over the years.

That includes the place in Laguna Beach that he bought in 2005. He paid $4,475,000 for it at the time before acquiring an adjacent property two years later for just under $3 million. He combined the two, had Mark Singer and Cliff Fong redesign them, then later sold the compound for $10.65 million.

Pamela Anderson's beachside home was certainly no cheap purchase

• Value of Property: $11.8 million
• Year of Purchase: 2000
• Location: Malibu Colony

Although Pamela Anderson has done a lot in her career to be proud of, it's probably the action drama series 'Baywatch' that she's best known for. So, it's maybe not that surprising that she once owned a beachside home in California's Malibu Colony, which was definitely on the pricier side. $11.8 million, to be exact.

This was how much she reportedly sold it for several decades after buying the place for $1.8 million in 2000. The home apparently covers 5,500 square feet and comes with a one-bedroom guesthouse, a swimming pool, and walls of open glass. Part of the high value of the property likely comes from its setting by Malibu Lagoon.

Matthew Perry's Malibu home gained some value across a decade

• Value of Property: $13.1 million
• Year of Purchase: 2011
• Location: Malibu

During the '90s and '00s, there weren't many shows that could compare with the sitcom 'Friends.' Its popularity brought in major paychecks for its stars, allowing people like Matthew Perry to buy some incredible properties. That includes one beachfront place that he apparently purchased for $12 million back in 2011. The home was located in Malibu.

With four bedrooms and three-and-a-half bathrooms, the property offered plenty of space for Perry across 5,500 square feet. Sitting on one of Malbiu's most "prestigious" streets, it was also in an incredible location for the star. However, he eventually decided to sell the place in 2020, with the property ultimately going for $13.1 million.

Robert Downey Jr's home comes with farm animals and a tennis court

• Value of Property: $13.4 million
• Year of Purchase: 2009
• Location: Malibu

Robert Downey Jr. is a man that has sometimes been very down on his luck. However, he's also a celebrity who's had plenty of notable roles throughout his career, playing the likes of Sherlock Holmes, Dr. Doolittle, and Iron Man. So, we're maybe not surprised that he has a $13.4 million property in his real estate portfolio.

He purchased this home in 2009 and has since turned part of it into a zoo. The likes of pigs, cows, chickens, and pygmy goats all reportedly live here to keep the actor and his family company. That's along with the pool, tennis court, basketball court, and other impressive amenities that really make this the place to be in Malibu.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's post-Royals property is suitably private

• Value of Property: $14.65 million
• Year of Purchase: 2020
• Location: Montecito

Prince Harry has always been used to living in the most incredible homes, thanks to his upbringing with the Royal Family. Even now that he and Meghan Markle have stepped back from their duties in the monarchy, though, they can still call an amazing residence home. We're referring to their place in Montecito, reportedly worth $14.65 million.

They bought this property independently of the Royal Family in 2020, allegedly securing a $9.5 million mortgage to get their hands on this 7.4-acre place. Set on a gated street, it offers them the privacy they yearn for in their daily lives, as well as a nice selection of famous neighbors to spend time with.

Cameron Diaz can still afford expensive properties post-Hollywood acting roles

• Value of Property: $14.7 million
• Year of Purchase: 2020
• Location: Beverly Hills

For the longest time, Cameron Diaz was seemingly the woman that Hollywood turned to when they needed a female lead. Not only could she play serious roles, but she was also incredibly funny, too. However, Diaz has stepped back from the limelight in recent years, enjoying the opportunity to spend more time with her family.

Of course, being so big in Hollywood all those years has meant she can still afford to buy an expensive home, even if she's basically retired now. That's how she and Benji Madden were able to bag a $14.7 million farmhouse in Beverly Hills back in 2020. Apparently, it's a seven-bedroom, ten-bathroom home on 1.68 acres of land.

Jodie Foster's expensive home had the sought-after 90210 postcode

• Value of Property: $14.9 million
• Year of Purchase: 2011
• Location: Beverly Hills

No matter what Jodie Foster does, she'll probably always be remembered for her role as Clarice Starling in the horror thriller film 'Silence of the Lambs.' Rightfully so, given her incredible performance earned her an academy award. That movie really heightened her career, allowing her to easily afford somewhere with a 90210 postcode that's worth eight figures.

She purchased her two-story Beverly Hills home back in 2011 and later sold it in 2022 for a reported $14.9 million. Offering five bedrooms and five bathrooms, it was a bright, spacious place that offered the star a lot of privacy. It also came with a pool to relax in and a balcony to enjoy the most exceptional views.

Kris Jenner's career success helped her net a pricey Hidden Hills home

• Value of Property: $15 million
• Year of Purchase: 2017
• Location: Hidden Hills

It's incredible to think what the Kardashians and Jenners have achieved over the years. They always had a level of fame thanks to Robert Kardashian and his role in the OJ Simpson trial. However, they've managed to spin amazing careers and mountains of wealth out of certain opportunities to ensure that they're effectively set for life.

Kris Jenner, for instance, was able to spend several years living in a Hidden Hills home believed to be worth $15 million. That's how much the place reportedly sold for when the momager decided she didn't want to live there anymore in 2020. With six bedrooms and eight bathrooms on 1.28 acres, we're not surprised it was so expensive.

John Legend and Chrissy Teigen's expensive Beverly Hills home offered nine bathrooms

• Value of Property: $16.8 million
• Year of Purchase: 2016
• Location: Beverly Hills

Individually, John Legend and Chrissy Teigen have made huge names for themselves. So, when their wealth comes together, it's maybe no surprise that they can afford to live somewhere pretty expensive. That includes an 8,520-square-foot home in Beverly Hills, which reportedly features seven bedrooms and nine bathrooms. At least there are never any queues for the facilities here.

When the couple bought the place from an investor group in 2016, it allegedly set them back $14.1 million. When they opted to sell it, they eventually got $16.8 million for the place. It might not have been entirely what they wanted for the place. However, given it was on the market for a year, they were content.

Taylor Swift bought a 12,000-square-foot mansion to celebrate her successful career

• Value of Property: $17.75 million
• Year of Purchase: 2013
• Location: Watch Hill, Westerly

Taylor Swift probably never imagined that she'd be one of the biggest names in music when she began her recording career. However, the singer just seems to become more famous by the day, which has done wonderful things to her bank account. She can now afford to buy all sorts of properties, including one in Rhode Island's town of Westerly.

Apparently, this place covers 12,000 square feet and was bought by the singer in 2013. At this point, Taylor’s transition from country music to pop superstardom was doing wonders for her finances. So, she could seemingly afford to buy an eight-bedroom home for $17.75 million. It's one of the biggest purchases Taylor's ever made in her career.

Kim Kardashian's Bel Air home grew significantly in value over six years

• Value of Property: $17.8 million
• Year of Purchase: 2011 
• Location: Bel Air

As Kim Kardashian's name has grown bigger, so too has her bank account. Back in 2013, it was sizable enough that she could afford to buy a 9,000-square-foot home in Bel Air, reportedly worth $11 million. Of course, at the time, it wasn't just her paying for the place but Kanye West as well.

Following extensive renovations, they ultimately decided to sell the six-bedroom, eight-bathroom property. They were apparently able to get $17.8 million for it, a nice boost on what Kimye had put down on it six years earlier. Given the large space, gorgeous pool, and wonderful views of Los Angeles, we understand how they managed to pull this off.

Katy Perry's home sold for the same amount she paid for it

• Value of Property: $18 million
• Year of Purchase: 2017
• Location: Beverly Crest

It's safe to say that Katy Perry is pretty much living the teenage dream with the life that she's built for herself. A successful music career, plenty of money in the bank, and a partner in the form of Orlando Bloom - what more could you ask for? The couple now reportedly live together in a $14.2 million compound.

However, this technically isn't the most valuable home that Katy's ever had. After all, following the move to Montecito, she sold her Beverly Crest property for $18 million. It was the same amount of money that she paid for the place - which boasts a gym, sauna, swimming pool, and spa across 5,400 square feet - back in 2017.

Matt Damon's expensive home covered more than 13,500 square feet

• Value of Property: $18 million
• Year of Purchase: 2012
• Location: Pacific Palisades

Over the years, Matt Damon has given us unforgettable performances in movies like the romantic drama 'Good Will Hunting' and the war drama 'Saving Private Ryan.' All that success has made him a huge name in Hollywood and allowed him to buy homes in the value of eight figures, like the one that he sold in 2021.

This was the Pacific Palisades property that he initially listed for $21 million and ultimately got rid of for $18 million. Covering a massive 13,508 square feet, it boasts seven bedrooms and ten bathrooms, with the interior primarily designed using natural stone and wood. Apparently, this place stands as one of the biggest in the entire neighborhood.

Arnold Schwarzenegger's former marital home probably holds bad memories for some

• Value of Property: $18 million
• Year of Purchase: 1986
• Location: Brentwood

The longer you spend in a home, the more memories that you make there. Of course, some of these memories are more pleasant than others. For instance, the property that Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver purchased in 1986 probably doesn't hold as many happy memories for the latter now. Not after what her ex-husband did there with the housekeeper.

It was in this 10,000-square-foot property that Schwarzenegger reportedly impregnated one of their staff members and brought Joseph Baena into the world. Shriver didn't know that when they sold the place in 2003 for just shy of $18 million. However, the nine-bedroom, ten-bathroom property probably doesn't hold the same appeal as it used to now that she does know.

Madonna bought a valuable Hidden Hills mansion from The Weeknd

• Value of Property: $19.3 million
• Year of Purchase: 2021
• Location: Hidden Hills

There's a reason that people often refer to Madonna as the Queen of Pop. Throughout her career, she's been a groundbreaking artist, never shying away from doing things that others were reluctant to embrace. This desire to play by her own rules has undoubtedly helped her finances, as evidenced by a relatively recent real estate purchase in the Hidden Hills.

It seems that Madonna purchased a $19.3 million home here, cutting almost $6 million off the initial asking price of $25 million. The singer bought the 12,500-square-foot mansion from The Weeknd, who himself had paid $18.2 million for it in 2017. The property comes with seven bedrooms, nine-and-a-half bathrooms, and a lot of privacy.

Alicia Keys cut nearly a third off her cliffside mansion's listed price

• Value of Property: $20.8 million
• Year of Purchase: 2019
• Location: La Jolla, San Diego

We imagine that no one can get in the way of what Alicia Keys feels for her home in La Jolla. This mansion that she shares with Swizz Beatz was apparently on the market for around a year when the couple got their hands on it. Initially, it was listed at $30 million, but that's not what they paid.

Instead, the pair managed to drop the price down to $20.8 million, cutting off almost a third in the process. That's an amazing deal for a home that comes with a library, theater, two steam rooms, and four bedrooms. It was also designed by Wallace E. Cunningham, one of the people that Architectural Digest named as a top-100 designer.

Jennifer Aniston was grateful for her expensive mansion several years ago

• Value of Property: $21 million
• Year of Purchase: 2011
• Location: Bel Air

Jennifer Aniston is another 'Friends' alumni that proves starring in the sitcom could really set a person up for life. Of course, it's not like she hasn't been busy since the show ended, scoring plenty of Hollywood films to keep the money rolling in. They all helped to pay for the Bel Air mansion that's allegedly worth $21 million.

After purchasing the property in 2011, Aniston has seemingly made excellent use of the 8,500 square feet of space that's available to her. When many people were stuck at home a few years ago, she was grateful for all the room she had to move around in. The gorgeous views and relaxing pool probably also helped.

Gwen Stefani's former marital home failed to sell at its listed price

• Value of Property: $21.65 million
• Year of Purchase: 2006
• Location: Beverly Hills

It's not uncommon for homes to sell for less than what they were put on the market for. Plenty of celebrities have found that out when trying to shift their own properties for a tidy profit. Still, we'd say that getting $21.65 million for somewhere isn't a bad thing, even if the place was first listed at $35 million.

That's how much Gwen Stefani got for The Summit, a hilltop mansion that she bought with Gavin Rossdale in 2006. After the breakdown of the couple's marriage, it seems that Stefani didn't care much about holding on to their former marital home. So, she put the 15,500-square-foot estate up for sale and eventually found a buyer.

Marc Anthony made a tidy sum on his sizable South Floridian home

• Value of Property: $22 million
• Year of Purchase: 2018
• Location: Coral Gables

When Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony tied the knot, the hope was that third time would be the charm for the singer. However, despite the pair's marriage seeming to be a strong one, the two ultimately divorced in 2014. Luckily, both parties seem to be doing just fine since the split, particularly when it comes to money.

For instance, Anthony used to own one of the largest homes in South Florida, and when he put it on the market, he apparently managed to get $22 million for it. Although he didn't quite reach the $27 million that he listed the place for, he still got more than the $19 million he paid for it in 2018.

Lady Gaga was very specific about what she wanted from her home

• Value of Property: $23 million
• Year of Purchase: 2014
• Location: Malibu

Lady Gaga has been known to put a ton of her money into the work she does, especially when it comes to her concerts. However, she was still able to afford a place believed to be worth $23 million back in 2014. Apparently, she initially made the deal for it backstage while speaking with Mauricio Umansky.

She told him she wanted somewhere that was both "paparazzi proof" and able to contain her various animals. So, he proceeded to show her an oceanfront property in Malibu that offered five bedrooms, 12 bathrooms, and even a bowling alley. Evidently, Gaga loved the place because she agreed to spend $23 million on it and reportedly still lives there today.

Angelina Jolie apparently bought Cecil B. DeMille's old home after her divorce

• Value of Property: $25 million
• Year of Purchase: 2017
• Location: Laughlin Park, Los Feliz

We know that celebrity breakups aren't really anything out of the ordinary. Still, when Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie parted ways, it hit us pretty hard. We just never saw their split coming. Fortunately for them, neither has really been that affected financially by the divorce, considering they're both established movie stars in their own right.

That's why it was seemingly no trouble for Angelina Jolie to buy a $25 million home in Los Feliz just months after the marriage broke down. Offering six bedrooms and evoking Hollywood charm, the 2.1-acre estate used to be owned by Cecil B. DeMille. It's been significantly restored since then, though, to keep it looking grand.

Justin Bieber's mansion was initially on the market for $42 million

• Value of Property: $25.8 million
• Year of Purchase: 2020
• Location: Beverly Park

When Justin Bieber released 'Baby' back in 2010, we're not sure how many people saw the Canadian singer forging the career that he's managed over the years. Despite several missteps in the past, he's managed to remain relevant and continue putting out new music that resonates with millions of listeners around the world. His bank account is grateful for that.

With Bieber continuing to be such a big name, he's managed to spend as much as $25.8 million on a mansion in Beverly Park. Of course, his wife's modeling success definitely contributed to that as well, with the pair reportedly buying the place in 2020. They got the six-bedroom property at quite a significant discount, down from $42 million.

Sofia Vergara and Joe Manganiello have money to burn on their properties

• Value of Property: $26 million
• Year of Purchase: 2020
• Location: Beverly Park

Sofia Vergara and Joe Manganiello are no strangers to living in luxury. In June 2023, People reported that the couple had listed their Beverly Hills villa for $18 million, offering someone else the chance to snap up their Italian-inspired estate. With seven bedrooms and 11 bathrooms, whoever takes it off their hands will be very fortunate indeed.

Of course, this isn't the couple's most valuable property, given what they reportedly spent on a place in Beverly Park in 2020. Once owned by baseball's Barry Bonds, they purchased the seven-bedroom, ten-and-a-half bathroom property for $26 million. Given that it covers 17,000 square feet and has the most incredible pool, we suppose it's worth the money.

George Lucas has been buying up properties in Carpinteria for years

• Value of Property: $28 million
• Year of Purchase: 2019
• Location: Carpinteria

We wonder if George Lucas knew what he was creating when he first introduced the epic space opera 'Star Wars' franchise to the world. Spawning tons of films, TV series, and merchandise, 'Star Wars' has seemingly given Lucas everything he could want in life. It's certainly provided him with plenty of money to spend on properties across the US.

For instance, in 2010, he purchased a home in Carpinteria for $19.5 million, which he then demolished and rebuilt. Nine years later, he purchased a second estate in the area for $28 million. This acquisition reportedly came with a home, guesthouse, tree house, and a barn, all of which sit on a site of two acres.

Michael Douglas reportedly couldn't bear to sell his estate in Mallorca

• Value of Property: $32.38 million
• Year of Purchase: 1990
• Location: Mallorca

Celebrities aren't averse to buying properties in other parts of the world. For instance, Michael Douglas has an estate in Mallorca, one that definitely doesn't come cheap. When he put it up for sale a few years back, it was reportedly listed at $32.38 million. However, he didn't end up selling it because he liked the place too much.

We can understand why, given that it reportedly features five apartments, a loft, two cottages, and more. He initially owned the 250-acre estate with his former wife, Diandra Luker. However, after deciding not to sell it, he reportedly bought Luker's share and kept the place in Mallorca for him and his current wife, Catherine Zeta-Jones.

Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake weren't using their home in LA enough

• Value of Property: $35 million
• Year of Purchase: 2002
• Location: Hollywood Hills

If you find that you don't use something that often, is there any point in keeping it around? Sure, there's a chance that you may get some use out of it down the line. However, sometimes people say that just because they're afraid of letting things go. Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel are not such people, though.

That's why the two apparently didn't hesitate to put their Hollywood Hills home on the market when they realized they weren't using it enough. Apparently, the couple are "rarely in LA" and enjoy living in Montana, so they decided to say goodbye to the 10-acre property. They offered up the seven-bedroom place for $35 million back in 2021.

Gloria Estefan's home had risen significantly in value when she sold it

• Value of Property: $35 million
• Year of Purchase: 1993
• Location: Star Island, Miami

When Gloria Estefan bought a home in 1993, she didn't anticipate just how much money it would make her down the line. Back then, the property reportedly set her back $1.84 million, which likely seemed quite a significant amount of money to the singer. However, that price pales in comparison to the $35 million she got in 2021.

It seems that someone was willing to offer Gloria and her other half a significant amount of money for their six-bedroom place on Star Island. The property is certainly roomy, with around 1.3 acres of space to explore. It also has some of the best views in downtown Miami, with an unobstructed look of Biscayne Bay.

Kylie Jenner's home is worth more than the others in her family

• Value of Property: $36.5 million
• Year of Purchase: 2020
• Location: Holmby Hills

When the Kardashians began to hit it big, Kylie and Kendall Jenner were still just kids. They weren't really thinking about making names for themselves in the world. However, as time went on, they started to establish their brands to the point that they're now a bigger deal than many of their other family members.

Thanks to this, Kylie was able to afford a home believed to be worth $36.5 million back in 2020. The 15,350-square-foot property in Holmby Hills is a modern property that features a chef's kitchen, home theater, sports court, gym, and two guest apartments. It was also listed at $45 million before Jenner got the price down.

Céline Dion's Jupiter Island estate came with its own private water park

• Value of Property: $38.5 million
• Year of Purchase: 2010
• Location: Jupiter Island

Life could certainly be better for Céline Dion right now. Her diagnosis of stiff person syndrome seems to really be affecting her health and preventing her from doing what she loves - performing. Thankfully, she has plenty of people working to help her cope with this disease and more than enough money to pay for whatever needs doing.

She got a nice cash injection back in 2017 when she sold her Jupiter Island beachfront estate for $38.5 million. Granted, it was nowhere near as much as she wanted for the place, which has its own private water park and a whopping 13 bedrooms. However, after being on the market for four years, she just wanted it gone.

Tom Cruise opted to sell his Colorado property that contained many memories

• Value of Property: $39.5 million
• Year of Purchase: 1994
• Location: Telluride

There was one property in Tom Cruise's real-estate portfolio that held a lot of strong memories for the actor. We're talking about his Telluride ranch, a 320-acre estate that boasts seven bedrooms and nine bathrooms. It was here that he first shared a photo of his daughter, Suri, who he brought into the world with Katie Holmes.

This was also the place where he famously had an interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2008, albeit not the one where he jumped up and down on the sofa. Nevertheless, he ultimately decided to sell the estate in 2021, being listed at $39.5 million. The price probably seemed reasonable to the star, considering the size of the place.

P. Diddy paid top dollar for an eight-bedroom property

• Value of Property: $40 million
• Year of Purchase: 2014
• Location: Holmby Hills

Some celebrities never seem to stop adding to their real estate portfolio. One star who's certainly had no shortage of places to live over the years is Sean Combs, aka P. Diddy. One of the biggest purchases he's ever made on the property front was in 2014 when he apparently put down $40 million on a place in Holmby Hills.

It seems he opted to buy an eight-bedroom mansion that features a 35-seat theater, lagoon pool, and a gym across 17,000 square feet of space. The property was reportedly freshly-built when Combs bought it and got the place in an off-market deal. Evidently, $40 million seemed like a reasonable price to pay for everything this place has to offer.

Dr. Dre bought an expensive home from Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen

• Value of Property: $40 million
• Year of Purchase: 2014
• Location: Brentwood

Before Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen decided to end things, they seemed like a happily married couple. They were certainly a pair with no shortage of money, especially after they sold their home in Brentwood to Dr. Dre. It seems the rapper and record producer was happy to put down a whopping $40 million on the couple's old home.

He reportedly bought the four-acre property in 2014 and got plenty for his money. The place came with a cobblestone motor court, a moat filled with koi fish, and more than 18,000 square feet of space. Inside, the French chateau had amenities like a library, a sauna, and a gym, alongside five bedrooms and nine bathrooms.

Will and Jada Pinkett-Smith's home has no shortage of incredible features

• Value of Property: $42 million
• Year of Purchase: 2001 (property proposal completed)
• Location: Calabasas

The Smiths are a family that many people are well aware of. Each one of them has attracted attention in the spotlight, albeit not always for the best reasons. Nevertheless, there's no denying that they have a certain star power that seemingly justifies all of their success. It's that star power that's let them afford a $42 million home.

This place in Calabasas apparently has six bedrooms and an immense 13 bathrooms across an area of roughly 150 acres. It boasts all manner of cool features, including a bowling alley, crafts room, movie theater, recording studio, and more. There's also plenty of open space here too, which makes sense, given the family's apparent devotion to conservation.

Jennifer Lopez's Bel Air property comes with an outdoor amphitheater

• Value of Property: $42.5 million
• Year of Purchase: 2016
• Location: Bel Air

Being successful as both an actor and singer can do a lot of good for a person's bank account. Just ask Jennifer Lopez, whose impressive career has seen her top the charts and break the box office over the years. The wonderful things these have done for her bank account have allowed her to buy some phenomenal properties.

For instance, there's the mega-mansion in Bel Air that she put on the market months after marrying Ben Affleck. She bought it for $28 million in 2016 and later put it on sale for $42.5 million. With nine bedrooms, 13 bathrooms, and a 100-seat outdoor amphitheater, we can see why people would want to buy it.

Jon Bon Jovi sold one Palm Beach property to buy another

• Value of Property: $43 million
• Year of Purchase: 2020
• Location: Palm Beach

Sometimes, the sale or purchase of a new home can take months, especially when you're trying to do both at the same time. However, for Bon Jovi, the process seemed to be a very smooth, very quick one when he switched up his place of residence in 2020. It helped that he didn't have to go far to move.

After selling a property in Palm Beach for almost $20 million, he reportedly dropped $43 million on a place just down the street. This one apparently came with seven bedrooms and 12 bathrooms across a space of over 10,200 square feet. The property was designed by Thomas Kirchhoff and boasted exceptional access to the beach.

Ellen DeGeneres sold her home, despite supposedly wanting to live there forever

• Value of Property: $45 million
• Year of Purchase: 2013
• Location: Santa Barbara

When Ellen DeGeneres released her book 'Home' in 2015, she declared her hope that she and Portia de Rossi would live in their Santa Barbara property "forever." However, it wasn't many years later before the talk show host listed the property for $45 million. Evidently, the place wasn't enough to keep the pair happy any longer.

They'd originally bought the house in 2013 for $26.5 million, with the property boasting a very European feel thanks to architect Wallace Frost. The modernized space features six bedrooms and eight bathrooms across 10,500 square feet. It also offers an infinity swimming pool thanks to the couple previously extending the estate across two adjacent properties.

Adam Levine sold his home to Ellen DeGeneres for the same amount

• Value of Property: $45 million
• Year of Purchase: 2018
• Location: Beverly Hills

Luckily for Ellen Degeneres, it seems that she didn't have to worry about shelling out too much more on a new home. Apparently, the place that she purchased in Beverly Hills sold for the same amount that she listed her own former property for. What's more, she bought the place from Adam Levine, who sold the house very quickly.

He got $45 million for his seven-bedroom mansion after putting it on the market for less than five weeks. Apparently, he'd wanted $47.5 million for the place but was seemingly happy to drop that down by a few million to get rid of the property. At least he got more than the $34 million he paid several years earlier.

Cindy Crawford's house sold for quite a painful loss in 2018

• Value of Property: $45 million
• Year of Purchase: 2015
• Location: Malibu

To some people, selling a home for $45 million might seem like a huge deal. However, it all depends on what the property was that got sold. In the case of Cindy Crawford, getting this much for her old house wasn't the celebratory affair you might expect. That's because of how much she paid for it in the first place.

Back in 2015, she and Rande Gerber put down $50.5 million for the four-bedroom, five-and-a-half-bathroom property in Malibu. While that's not much of a drop, you have to consider that they also reportedly renovated the place while they lived there. So, they probably expected more for the 5,243-square-foot house with its dreamy beachside views.

Rob Lowe's home actually sold for more than its relisted price

• Value of Property: $45.5 million
• Year of Purchase: 2005
• Location: Montecito

Some people might not realize just how much Rob and Sheryl Lowe have in their bank. However, when you consider what their Montecito home reportedly sold for a few years ago, it's clear that they've no shortage of money. After apparently first being listed for $47 million, it went for just a little bit lower at $45.5 million.

This was actually a jump up from the $42.5 million it was relisted at before the final sale. Whoever bought it scored themselves a home with six bedrooms, eleven bathrooms, and, bizarrely, 11 fireplaces. The 10,000-square-foot property boasts a lot of stylistic touches, thanks to the help of experts like Don Nulty, Kyle Irwin, and Mark Rios.

Tommy Hilfiger shifted his valuable home in Connecticut within a few months

• Value of Property: $47.5 million
• Year of Purchase: 2010
• Location: Greenwich

It's always nice when a house sale is completed quickly. No one generally enjoys the hassle of trying to get rid of a property, celebrities included. So, we imagine that Tommy Hilfiger was pretty pleased when he managed to sell his place in Greenwich, Connecticut, within a few months of putting it on the market.

After paying $31.4 million for the place in 2010, he managed to shift it for $47.5 million, bringing in a nice profit for him and his wife. Admittedly, they had spent three years renovating the property, which sits on 22 acres of land. However, there was no guarantee that their efforts to improve the place would pay off.

Lewis Hamilton never actually lived in his expensive NYC condo

• Value of Property: $49.5 million
• Year of Purchase: 2017
• Location: New York City

Plenty of the most expensive homes owned by celebrities are palatial houses with tons of bedrooms and acres of space. However, a few of them are pricey apartments and condos, like the one that Lewis Hamilton owned in New York City. He bought this place for $43.99 million back in 2017, and it was quite a spectacular purchase.

However, despite having 8,900 square feet of space, five bedrooms, six bathrooms, and a pool, the Formula One driver never actually lived here. He ended up selling the condo several years later, initially asking buyers to pay $57 million for the place. This ended up dropping down to $49.5 million, which still earned him a small profit.

Sting's two-floor penthouse apartment offered immense views of Central Park

• Value of Property: $50 million
• Year of Purchase: 2008
• Location: Central Park West, NYC

It must be amazing to live somewhere with views over Central Park. Not only do you have something pretty incredible to look out on every day, but it means you've got a home in one of New York's most sought-after destinations. Unfortunately, to afford such a place, you need to be someone with a lot of money at your disposal.

Sting was one such man, with the artist purchasing a penthouse here for a monumental $26.9 million in 2008. Almost a decade later, he put the duplex on sale for more than double what he paid. It didn't quite sell as high, but he still made $50 million off the property that offers four bedrooms and covers two floors.

Ryan Seacrest bought his Beverly Hills home from Ellen DeGeneres

• Value of Property: $51 million
• Year of Purchase: 2012
• Location: Beverly Hills

It's quite common for these expensive celebrity homes to swap hands from one big name to another. For example, when Ryan Seacrest bought a place in Beverly Hills in 2012, he got it from Ellen DeGeneres. Of course, she didn't just give it away for free. The media personality apparently paid $36.5 million for the almost three-acre space.

With amenities like a massage room, media room, swimming pool, gym, and underground garage, we can certainly see why Ryan would want to buy this property. However, as much as he might have loved the place, he didn't wish to stay here forever. That's why he sold it for $51 million, a drop from the initial $85 million listing.

Howard Stern's home proves that hosting a radio show can be lucrative

• Value of Property: $52 million
• Year of Purchase: 2013
• Location: Palm Beach

If you've ever questioned how much money a radio host can possibly make, Howard Stern proves that it can be an incredibly lucrative career. He's certainly done well for himself over the years, so much so that he can afford to buy a place allegedly worth over $50 million. He supposedly bought a home in Palm Beach for $52 million.

We're not surprised that the oceanfront home cost so much, given that the custom-built property spans 3.25 acres and offers five bedrooms. The two buildings on the estate apparently cover over 39,000 feet in total, with the outside space offering extensive landscaping and a swimming pool right by the beach. It's a truly special place.

David and Victoria Beckham have added serious value to Beckingham Palace II

• Value of Property: £42 million (approximately $53.5 million)
• Year of Purchase: 2013
• Location: Holland Park, London

One couple that we're not surprised can afford an expensive home is David and Victoria Beckham. His success on the soccer pitch during his playing career made him one of the biggest names in the sport. Meanwhile, she helped to change the music landscape for women everywhere when she was one-fifth of the Spice Girls.

The couple's property in Holland Park is undeniably one of their most impressive. After all the work they've had done, it's believed to be worth around £42 million (approximately $53.5 million), and it certainly looks it. Dubbed Beckingham Palace II, the Victorian Grade II house is a sight to behold in such an exclusive area of London.

Tiger Woods built a home with plenty to keep his kids entertained

• Value of Property: $54.5 million
• Year of Purchase: 2010
• Location: Jupiter Island

Golf might not always be heralded as the most exciting sport to watch, but it's clear that it pays well, at the very least. After all, Tiger Woods has no shortage of money, thanks to his numerous successes in past competitions. He's amassed so much wealth that he can afford one property that's reportedly worth $54.5 million.

This is a place he apparently built himself, with Woods making sure to include plenty of features that would keep his kids happy. We're talking about things like a swimming pool, movie theater, mini golf course, and a basketball-tennis court. There are also apparently oxygen therapy rooms and a state-of-the-art gym to keep him in excellent shape for the course.

Kathy Hilton turned a potential home into a project to sell

• Value of Property: $55 million
• Year of Purchase: Unknown
• Location: Bel Air

Being a member of the Hilton family means that Kathy doesn't need to be that concerned with money. Still, she has her ways of bringing extra income in, including helping to design homes to sell. She showcased one of these on the reality show 'The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,' with the property on the market for $55 million.

Although she and her husband had apparently bought the home for themselves, the latter allegedly decided against moving out of their current place in Bel Air. So, she took the eight-bedroom, 16-bathroom property on as a project to renovate and sell. Some of the features in this house include a gym, home theater, swimming pool, and hidden closets.

Johnny Depp basically bought a village in the early 2000s

• Value of Property: $55.5 million
• Year of Purchase: Early 2000s
• Location: Provence, France

When it comes to expensive celebrity properties, Johnny Depp seems to go all out with his purchases. Rather than just buying a mansion, he basically bought a village. His estate in the Provence region includes a main building, six guest houses, a gym, an art studio, and a private restaurant. There are several swimming pools and a skate park too.

Depp bought the place in the early 2000s and has since fallen out of love with the French village. Either that, or he simply doesn't wish to keep up with the cost of owning so many properties. He's attempted to sell the area several times, ultimately relisting the village in 2021 for $55.5 million.

Simon Cowell sold his home due to significant security concerns

• Value of Property: £45 million (approximately $57.1 million)
• Year of Purchase: 2007
• Location: Holland Park, Kensington

As a record producer and TV talent show judge, Simon Cowell has more than set himself up for life. He's helped to kickstart the careers of so many big names by this point that it's no wonder he's had quite an impressive real estate portfolio. One of his homes alone was apparently worth £45 million (approximately $57.1 million).

This was his mansion in Holland Park, which he reportedly sold in 2023 due to repeated concerns about the safety of him and his family. Although he supposedly spent a significant amount of money to protect his loved ones, incidents in the past reportedly forced him to start building a new life in the countryside.

Adele bought Sylvester Stallone's home and the statue that came with it

• Value of Property: $58 million
• Year of Purchase: 2022
• Location: Beverly Park

It's hard to believe that Adele only has four albums when you consider how successful her music career has been. Her impressive sales have made her one of the biggest names in the industry and ensured that she can afford to give her son everything he could want in life. That apparently includes a home once owned by Sylvester Stallone.

In 2022, Adele bought the house from the actor for a reported $58 million, which was quite a discount seeing as it was previously listed at $110 million. Apparently, the singer was only willing to buy the property if she got to keep the 'Rocky' statue that lives by the pool. Stallone was willing to sacrifice it for the sale.

Mark Zuckerburg bought two neighboring properties to create one expensive compound

• Value of Property: $59 million
• Year of Purchase: 2018/19
• Location: Lake Tahoe

We're all well aware that Mark Zuckerburg is basically made of money, right? The success of platforms like Facebook and Instagram means that he can afford to live pretty much wherever he wants. So, it's no surprise that he has a compound that's reportedly worth $59 million. It's made up of two properties that live next door to one another.

The first of these houses Zuckerburg bought in 2018 for a reported $22 million. One month later, he purchased its neighbor, paying the larger sum of $37 million for the place. The latter building alone apparently encompasses more than 7,000 square feet and offers several guesthouses, which consequently add around 4,000 square feet extra.

Cher once considered her expensive home to be a "sanctuary" and "fortress"

• Value of Property: $75 million
• Year of Purchase: 1999
• Location: Malibu

Cher has previously referred to her home in Malibu as being a "sanctuary" and "fortress" because it's the "only place I have any privacy." So, we can understand why this property has been so special to the singer over the years. Nevertheless, she doesn't quite love the Italian Renaissance-style house enough to hold onto it forever.

She's listed the mansion a few times, initially setting an asking price of $85 million. When that attracted no attention, she apparently lowered the cost by $10 million, putting its value now at $75 million. With seven bedrooms, nine bathrooms, a tennis court, and an infinity pool, is there enough there to justify the hefty price tag? Cher thinks so.

Drake is already thinking of selling after only just buying his property

• Value of Property: $88 million
• Year of Purchase: 2022
• Location: Beverly Crest

As one of the biggest names in the hip-hop scene, we can't blame Drake for splashing the cash at nearly every chance he has. The man clearly has a ton of money at his disposal, and he's not averse to spending it. Sometimes, he uses it on accessories; other times, fast cars. Then, of course, there are the houses.

The one that stands out the most is the Beverly Crest property that he apparently paid $75 million for. He reportedly spent more than a year looking for the perfect place and eventually found this house that Robbie Williams owned. However, it seems it hasn't been the dream location, given he now wants someone to buy it for $88 million.

Oprah Winfrey's Montecito estate has been growing in value over the decades

• Value of Property: $88 million
• Year of Purchase: 2001
• Location: Montecito

There's something about Oprah Winfrey that just makes people want to talk to her. That's why she's had so much success with interviewing people over the years. It's also why she's managed to create an empire out of what she does and generate a fortune that would make your eyes water. Just look at how much her home is worth.

Her 42-acre estate is believed to be worth around $88 million or more today. It's hard to know for certain because she hasn't put it on the market since she bought the place in 2001. Back then, it cost her $50 million, and the Montecito estate has only grown in value as she's added to it over the years.

Beyoncé and Jay-Z searched for three years to find their dream home

• Value of Property: $88 million
• Year of Purchase: 2017
• Location: Bel Air

As a unit, Beyoncé and Jay-Z are easily one of the most powerful couples alive. Acting, singing, rapping - they have the creative talent to do it all. They're also incredibly business savvy, which means they always seem to have money coming in from one place or another. It's no wonder they could afford to spend $88 million on a home.

That's how much their home in Bel Air, which they purchased in 2017, is allegedly worth. Finding this place wasn't easy, with the couple supposedly spending three years searching for their dream home. However, after they found this mansion - which apparently includes six structures across 30,000 square feet - they knew that they'd found the place for them.

Pierce Brosnan's expensive home is a beach lover's paradise

• Value of Property: $100 million
• Year of Purchase: 2000
• Location: Malibu

Plenty of celebrities don't seem to hold on to their homes for long before they buy somewhere else. However, Pierce Brosnan's expensive property has been in his real estate portfolio now for over two decades. He bought the place in 2000, where he apparently paid an eye-watering $100 million for it. Evidently, playing James Bond paid incredibly well.

Part of the property's high price stems from the place being beachside, with Brosnan and his wife easily able to head down to the ocean in a matter of minutes. There's also the fact that the home has five bedrooms, 14 bathrooms, a stunning pool, and the most beautiful views. We're guessing that Pierce must love being by the water.

Bill Gates has spent millions modernizing and securing his home

• Value of Property: $125 million
• Year of Purchase: 1998
• Location: Medina, Washington

Is it any surprise that Bill Gates has one of the most expensive celebrity homes in existence? As one of the wealthiest men in the world, Gates can afford to spare no expense when it comes to his home. That's why he allegedly has an estate worth $15 million, with the lakefront compound apparently covering 66,000 square feet.

It didn't actually cost as much as this to buy the place back in 1998. At the time, Gates reportedly spent $14 million on the existing property and the surrounding land. However, the work he's done to create a modern home for the future has lifted the value of it quite significantly. There aren't many properties that can compare.

Mariah Carey allegedly made a bid on Beverly Hills' most expensive estate

• Value of Property: $125 million
• Year of Purchase: 2009
• Location: Beverly Hills

It's amazing just how much certain celebrities can potentially afford when it comes to their homes. Even if we know they make a lot of money, it can still be a surprise when we find out what they're capable of buying. For instance, we wouldn't have known Mariah Carey could possibly afford a home believed to be worth $125 million.

Supposedly, when the singer was still married to Nick Cannon, the couple made a bid to buy the Fleur de Lys in Beverly Hills. Believed to be the most expensive estate around, it boasts 12 bedrooms, 15 bathrooms, and a 50-seat movie theater. However, it's unclear precisely what Carey and Cannon offered for the exclusive place.

Kevin Costner's estate could come under threat following his divorce

• Value of Property: $145 million
• Year of Purchase: 2006
• Location: Carpinteria

With Kevin Costner getting a divorce from his wife, plenty of people are interested to know what will happen to his estate in Carpinteria. After all, this place forms a significant part of the actor's assets, with the compound allegedly valued at $145 million. Of course, it didn't always used to be worth quite as much.

Costner already owned a home there when he purchased a 17-acre plot in Carpinteria back in 2006. It reportedly cost him $28.5 million, and the building it contained was only a modest two-bedroom place. However, he's since combined his properties and completed various renovations to help the value of his home rise to such dizzying heights.

Jeff Bezos made the most expensive home sale in California history

• Value of Property: $175 million
• Year of Purchase: 2020
• Location: Beverly Hills

The more that people rely on Amazon for their delivery needs, the more that Jeff Bezos can afford to pay for his real estate portfolio. He already has one of the most expensive compounds in the world, with his place in Beverly Hills believed to be worth as much as $175 million in just a few years.

Most of that reportedly stems from the Warner estate, which he apparently bought for $165 million in 2020. It was California's most expensive home sale and was promptly added to with the purchase of the home next door. The addition of this smaller property to the 13,600-square-foot mansion with its pool and tennis court supposedly cost Bezos $10 million.
