These Celebrities’ Houses Leave Us With No Words

 

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!

Joss Whedon – $5.8 Million, Santa Monica

With a highly successful career as a director, screenwriter, and producer, which has contributed to having a massive net worth of $100 Million, Joss Whedon can undoubtedly afford to splurge on a $5.8 million home. The 1,200 square-foot property with seven bedrooms and ten bathrooms was acquired by Whedon and his wife, Kai Cole, in 2013.

The exquisite mansion overlooks a Santa Monica country club and is said to have been featured in one of the director’s films ‘Much Ado About Nothing.’ Still, rumor has it that Whedon also purchased a $7.2 million luxurious mini-mansion in 2017, befitting his status as a Hollywood star.

Betty White – Los Angeles, Undisclosed Amount

No one can deny that Betty White had one of the most incredible careers in Hollywood. Aside from being a pioneer of early television, she also holds the record of many firsts in the acting industry. White was the first female to ever produce a sitcom, and she’s one of the women who set the ball rolling on working both in front of and behind the camera.

With the actress’ popularity, many fans are curious as to where she lived, and it’s in Los Angeles, California. Although her Brentwood home is lovely with its wooden exterior and yellow shutters, it’s still unexpected of a big Hollywood star. Yet, the simple and lovely home fits the late ‘Golden Girl’ perfectly.

Ghislaine Maxwell – Bradford, New Hampshire, $1 Million

The British socialite Ghislaine is used to living a life of luxury. Born to media mogul Robert Maxwell, she has a yacht Lady Ghislaine in the Netherland shipyard named after her by her beloved father. When her association with American financier Jeffrey Epstein landed her in trouble with the law, she found a luxurious hideout in the hills of New Hampshire in December 2019.

Ghislaine paid $1 million in cash anonymously via Granite Realty LLC, set up a month before the purchase to avoid leaving a trail. The 156-acre estate with a half a mile high driveway to the gorgeous timbre house is a magnificent property. Alas, she stayed there only till July 2020, when the authorities finally found her.

Dick Cheney – Maryland – $2.5 Million

Dick Cheney used to be the former United States before he vacated the White House when Barack Obama assumed office as the President in 2009. Ten years later, Cheney has had to leave another white house, located in Maryland, which he sold for $2.5 million, a price slightly below what he bought it for initially.

The Maryland mansion comprises three bedrooms with three bathrooms, sitting on nine acres of land. The guest house also comes with a bedroom and a bathroom to follow. Why Cheney sold this home is what we can’t tell, but we do hope it was the right decision for him.

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.

Jane Fonda – Beverly Hills – $13 Million

Jane Fonda is one of the most decorated Hollywood actresses that has carved out a niche for herself in the health and fitness industry.

This has seen her worth rise to the millions enabling the actress and her partner to acquire this prestigious house worth about $13 Million in a calm and tranquil Beverly Hills neighborhood. 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.

Tom Selleck – Bay Ridge – Undisclosed Price

Tom Selleck is famous for his role as Thomas Magnum in the popular series Magnum P.I., but more for his signature mustache that he proudly wears. With over five decades of experience in the film industry, the actor has achieved legendary status, and he currently stars in the Blue Bloods series.

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.

Leonardo DiCaprio – Malibu – $10.95 Million

Leonardo DiCaprio is a famous actor whose performance in the Titanic blockbuster won him critical acclaim and earned him a massive paycheck that he used to purchase this glorious mansion in Malibu. The home is as luxurious as possible, with three separate structures, the main house containing four bedrooms and a two-bedroom guest house.

If DiCaprio has several guests over, then there’s an extra one-bedroom building with an office and a gym. After calling Malibu home for close to two decades, the actor listed the house for $10 million; today, one can rent it for approximately $109K per month.

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.
