These Celebrities’ Houses Leave Us With No Words

 

Henry Winkler – Bel-Air – $3.4 Million

At the age of 70, Henry Winkler has managed to achieve a great deal. During his childhood, he was a dyslexic boy and even offered referred to as “dumb” by some people. However, Winkler turned his weakness into strength as by writing the Hank Zipster books. Not only that, but he also earned pretty big paychecks from the book series. The publications were a critical success and brought in a steady stream of income.

So, the star decided to buy the 9,000 square-feet English-style property in Bel-Air. The massive $3.4 million mansion features four beautiful bedrooms; the estate is a perfect fit for his family!

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez – Westchester County – $355K

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a popular member of the US House of Representatives, who has been representing the New York 14th congressional district. During her campaign for this position, she mentioned she hailed from the Bronx but was later under fire after the revelation that she reportedly resided in Yorktown.

One obvious thing that had stayed in Alexandria’s life was her childhood residence which was initially bought by her father for $150,000 when she was just two years old but was later sold for $355,000 after their family eventually moved. As for Cortez herself, she has continued to be consistently successful over the years.

Stacey Abrams – Atlanta – Undisclosed Price

If you really want to understand the textbook description of gorgeousness, you should look at Stacey Abrams’ house in Atlanta. The front lawn has to be the best spot to soak up the sun on a balmy afternoon or relax on a peaceful evening!

Although the building sits quite close to the highway, it is still a remarkably tranquil spot for hosting friends and family. The house’s interior and even its value remain a secret, but we’re ardent believers that judging by the exterior shots alone, the home and its architectural design is par excellence.

Condoleezza Rice – Palo Alto – $2.3 Million

Condoleezza Rice owns several properties, but this Palo Alto residence stands out, owing to its modesty and simplicity. A 1930s construction, the single-story house bears that vintage vibe, and what it lacks in size is compensated by sheer comfort.

An immaculate front garden and well-done lawns are the first things you’ll notice about this abode. Inside, the house features two bedrooms, a fireplace as well as a formal dining area. What’s more, the entire floor is covered in gleaming hardwood, making it just the ideal spot, especially in winter. For a little over two million dollars, we can call this a good buy!

Bob Barker – Los Angeles – $138K

Bob Parker’s rise in showbiz was rather epic, given the short amount of time he took to rise to the top. Currently, he is retired but eating life with a big spoon with a personal fortune of around $70 million.

Barker lives large, and his house lives up to the star’s hype. The mansion in Los Angeles, however, is a mystery even to his fans. The game show host keeps a low profile behind the scenes, and when he’s not in front of the cameras, Barker prefers a lowkey lifestyle. As such, not much is known about the house, but we’ll be the first if an opportunity arises!

Ron Howard – Connecticut – $27.5 Million

Starting as a child actor to one of the most renowned film directors is the dream life that Ron Howard is living. In the process, he’s earned himself a net worth of about $160 million; it’s no surprise that he is living large!

Picture a 32-acre piece of land with a mansion sitting on over 17,000 square feet and a fantastic view of the Converse lake; this just happened to be his home in Connecticut. However, he recently listed the property for $27.5 million, but not before enjoying its six bedrooms, five bathrooms, an indoor pool, a theatre, and even a billiard room.

The magnificent abode boasts six bedrooms, seven baths, a swimming pool, a gym, and a garden with a fountain, all topped with scenic canyon and ocean views. Fonda is living like the queen she is, no doubt!

Boris Johnson – London – $6.5 Million

It is hard to talk about Great Britain’s politics without mentioning Boris Johnson, one of their most renowned political figures. With a name commanding such respect comes an equally respectful abode in Downing Street.

It is among London’s most prestigious neighborhoods, boasting of an office, a cabinet room, and a white drawing-room, making it one of the most photographed residences. His office has dark wood furniture with a huge mirror set on a gold frame, and his cabinet room, where cabinet meetings take place weekly, hosts a handsomely large fireplace.

Mike Pence – Washington, DC – $7.5 Million

Being a former US vice president, it is a wonder how Mike Pence has managed to keep his private life under wraps with details of his home remaining scanty. However, we know that he has been a resident of the official Vice-President residence, the Number One Observatory Circle in Washington.

The three-level house features a sitting room, a dining room, an open kitchen, four bedrooms, a reception hall, a study room, various lounges, and a media room. Rumored to be even better than the White House, we are sure Pence will miss this place!

Hillary Clinton – Washington, DC – $5.57 Million

The Clinton family is one of the political dynasties in America, having been in politics for a couple of decades, even producing one President. Their home, in Washington, DC, is as reputable. It left Hillary speechless at first sight and saw them part with $5.57 million.

Dubbed Whitehaven, the neo-Georgian red-brick home sits on 5,500 square feet of land with a stunning swimming pool and a house-design inspired by some of the most famous designers. The colorful carpets and installed Italian lanterns are all bespoke handcrafted pieces. The Clintons are still living a full life despite not being as actively involved in politics.

Ted Cruz – Houston – $1.6 Million

Though Ted Cruz is one of the most renowned Republican politicians, he has managed to keep his private life away from prying eyes. The lawyer and solicitor has a house in Houston whose details are scanty. All we can gather is that he spent a cool $1.6 million to have the old-fashioned property in River Oaks under his name.

It is safe to say he lives like a king behind those high walls, and should he decide to show us around; we’ll have more details. Until then, it remains a mystery, just like how Cruz wants it.

Jack Nicholson – Mulholland Drive – $6.5 Million

When you have had a career spanning over six decades and over $400 million to show for it, then it isn’t surprising that you’d dwell in the most magnificent places. Jack Nicholson has been a resident of Mulholland since 1969 when he purchased his first property.

However, over the years, he has grown to own four homes in the area, recently acquiring the late actor Marlon Brando’s home. Jack decided the 40,000 square feet of land needs some revamping, so he planned to get rid of the house and plant frangipani flowers. Quite an extravagant expenditure this must’ve been!

Sidney Poitier – Beverly Hills – Undisclosed Price

Not many people have managed the honor of a knighthood for their work in art, but Sidney Poitier is one of them, and it’s easy to see why. The actor is an outright legend with several Oscar awards and numerous commercially and critically successful films under his belt.

Now retired, Poitier resides at his opulent home in the posh neighborhood of Beverly Hills. The abode is fit for a knight, with the interior fitted with royal decorations and furniture, all of which are selections made by the actor’s wife, Joanna Shimkus. Stepping outdoors, you’ll find a sprawling swimming pool and three-car garage among the amenities the couple gets to utilize.

You might wonder where Tom lives, especially his home on the television show, and this magnificent piece of architecture is located in Bay Ridge. Frank Reagan’s abode (the character that Tom plays) is the Diocese of Saint Maron’s property in real life. You weren’t expecting that, were you?

Robert De Niro – Gardiner – Undisclosed Price

Robert De Niro is arguable among the greatest actors of all time who has achieved massive success during his long career and has over half a billion dollars to show for it. With that kind of money, it’s not surprising that the director splashed a few million to purchase a massive piece of property that contains 2,700 feet of Hudson riverbank.

The lot has numerous separate buildings, with the main house coming with six bedrooms and seven baths, a boxing room, a gym, and a movie theater. When Robert’s visitors come over, they can stay at the guesthouses and enjoy a game of tennis during their downtime.

Wesley Snipes – New Jersey – $4.125 Million

After starring in the Blades films trilogy, Wesley Snipes rose to fame, which brought him loads of money and landed him more leading roles. After struggling with some off-screen issues that saw him lose some of his wealth, he bounced back and is set to appear in an upcoming film Coming 2 America.

For most of his career, Snipes was known to live in this magnificent home in the Alpine area, which, while he hasn’t given the public a tour of his abode, looks incredibly beautiful. The actor decided to let the property go in 2014, and we bet he moved into bigger digs!

Kathie Lee Gifford – Florida – $10.5 Million

Kathie Lee Gifford is a veteran television personality who hosted The Today Show and several other highly rated programs before retiring in 2019. With her successful career on T.V., it’s no wonder the host comfortably forked out $10 million on this magnificent property in Florida.

The beachfront home is as luxurious as they come, with unparalleled views of the ocean and lush gardens, paired with an exquisite interior, making it the ultimate residence for the media royalty. As always, everything comes to an end, and in 2018, Kathie put the house up for sale.

Phil Collins – Miami Beach – $33 Million

We all want to live the life of our dreams, and Phil Collins is living Another Day In Paradise if the star’s residence is anything to go by. Located in Miami, the property has seven bedrooms and eight bathrooms, along with a media room, a spa, a wine cellar, and a gym, among the luxurious amenities the singer enjoys.

With a bank balance of over $260 million, Collins can definitely afford to spend a fortune purchasing the estate formerly owned by another star, Jennifer Lopez. Phil has worked hard to succeed, and he deserves all he has, including the koi pond, which is part of the massive residence.

Maggie Smith – West Sussex – $7.7 Million

We would forgive you for thinking that Maggie Smith, who brilliantly portrayed Professor McGonagall in the Harry Potter films, lives in Hogwarts. In a property built in the 15th century, the actress resides in West Sussex, but that’s not what we’re talking about today.

If you have watched Downtown Abbey, you’ve seen Maggie star in the series as well, and she dwells at the Byfleet Manor, which in real life belonged to Julie Hutton. The businesswoman sold the 18-acre estate in 2015, and it comes with unique pieces of priceless and tasteful antiquities.

Al Pacino – New York – $3.3 Million

You know you have made it in life when you use a 2.5-acre estate in New York as a guest house, which is precisely what Al Pacino did. The legendary actor owned this palatial property for several years before deciding to let it go in 2013.

The home built in 1941 comes with spacious three bedrooms and four baths with an antique interior finishing giving it a rustic feel. Outdoors, you’ll find amazing views of the Hudson River and lush landscaping ensure that you feel at peace away from the city’s hustle and bustle.

George Clooney – Lake Como – $7 Million

While we agree that George Clooney’s Studio City mansion is a sight to watch, nothing can beat his Lake Como home in the Italian suburbs. Hands down, it is an architectural wonder that can give any fancy resort a run for its money!

The Heinz family previously owned the palatial structure, and after the takeover, Clooney had to pump in millions just to cover the renovation costs. After the complete overhaul, the place has a rustic-looking pool, lush greenery, and finely landscaped gardens. Now, we know where the Ocean’s Eleven star is usually unwinding with his family during the summers!

Max Baer Jr. – Paradise – Undisclosed Price

A closer look at this picture will reveal that he is Max Baer Jr., the man who played Jethro Bodine in The Beverly Hillbillies. As the former actor inched closer to retirement, he tried to venture into the world of entrepreneurship and set up an entertainment zone.

After the business failed to take off, he decided to hang his boots and settle down in his comfortable Nevada home. Except for the fact that Max resides in the vicinity of Paradise, not much is known about his place. And yes, we still don’t understand why he doesn’t live in Beverly Hills!

Quincy Jones – Bel-Air – $5.4 Million

Quincy Jones is a man of refined taste, and that reflects in his choice of home. The composer lived in an opulent 5,500 sq ft mansion that cost him nearly $3 million in the ’80s before selling it for almost double the price.

We are pretty sure that the Bel-Air postcode helped him drive a hard bargain. Moreover, the house is spread over three floors and has six massive bedrooms in the offering. Its pictures make us wonder why Quincy let go of the home in the first place, but it’s onwards to even finer things for this industry legend.

Dick Van Dyke – Encino – $6.5 Million

Dick Van Dyke obviously needs a big home to showcase the numerous Emmys and a Grammy award. So the golden-ear actor chose a magnificent villa in the vicinity of Los Angeles’s Encino area, where he lived until 2016.

The Dick Van Dyke Show star’s former abode is nearly 12,000 sq ft huge and located on an estate that spreads across 1.37 acres of meticulously maintained gardens. With facilities like a stone fireplace, a massive wine cellar, and a tennis court, the $6.5 million selling price sounds like a tremendous bargain to us!

Donald Sutherland – Palisades Beach – $3 Million

Donald Sutherland’s Palisades Beach remains commendable for its designs and brilliant architecture. Hardwood flooring, mahogany fittings, and cathedral-style ceilings – the twin-bedroom three-bath house truly has it all. Ever since Donald vacated, the 1980-built manor saw its valuation go up to $3 million, translating into a monthly lease of $15K.

Now, it’s his son Roger’s turn to make news in the real estate circles of Los Angeles. The junior Sutherland took ownership of a midcentury home for nearly $5.3 million. It seems that the entire family has an eye for all things good!

Paul Hogan – Malibu – $9 Million

Paul Hogan, the man from Crocodile Dundee, is in his eighties but still seems to be active. While the star owns many properties in LA and Venice, his best investment was probably a Malibu house in 2012.

After his two-decade-old marriage ended in 2013, Hogan decided to sell his residence for many years and got nearly double his $3.8 million buying price. The next owner of the estate, Chris Hemsworth, once again sold it and managed to get almost $9 million this time. Talk about fast-moving pieces in upscale areas of LA!

Rick Harrison – Las Vegas – $3.9 Million

More is always not merrier! Rick Harrison learned this lesson after buying an 8,800 sq ft house in the Red Rock Country Club’s vicinity. The showman from Pawn Stars realized that his kids were ready to move out, and all that extra space will simply go in vain. So, he listed the property in 2019 and managed to get a cool $3.9 million for it.

The residence was built in 2001 and houses many exquisite amenities. More importantly, it has an 800-year-old window and an antique furniture-set in the hallway. Given that it’s Harrison’s former home, we did see this coming!

Billy Joel – Palm Beach – $16.9 Million

Ever since Piano Man became a worldwide chart-topper, Billy Joel’s fortune increased exponentially. With all that money at his disposal, he purchased numerous properties for unfathomable prices. His former Palm Beach house is one such acquisition that reduced his bank balance by $11.8 million, and it was worth every cent.

It turns out that since her retirement, Ali’s love for animals has significantly increased. In 1993, when her residence in Malibu caught fire, she opted for a change in scenery.
