These Celebrities’ Houses Leave Us With No Words
Andrew Cuomo – New York, $1.8 Million
Before becoming the New York Governor in 2011, Andrew Cuomo was a famous politician who served in several public office positions, including working in the Bill Clinton administration. As an accomplished lawyer and politician, he has made a fortune that has enabled him to live in this cozy estate in New York.
Nicknamed the “Lilypond,” Cuomo’s home is fit for the influential politician, with four bedrooms, six bathrooms, and a massive living room. There’s also a pond, a creek, and a gazebo, all housed in a sprawling, well-manicured garden outdoors. Still, despite all the stately amenities, the attorney let the property go for a mouthwatering $1.8 million.
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!
Brigitte Bardot – France – $5.6 Million
Even though Brigitte Bardot is pretty much retired these days, she was quite a popular woman during her heydays. In the early 50s, she rose to national and international fame as an actress and, almost a decade later, began pursuing a career in the music industry. But since her retirement, Bardot has been an activist, and we think it would be fair to say that she’s done it all.
The stunning actress spends most of her time in the thirteen-century mansion, which features a lavish interior, wight bedrooms, a living area with fireplace and French doors, an infinity pool, and a large kitchen.
Jenna Fischer – Los Angeles, $1.9 Million
Once you become a millionaire, you must learn how to spend it wisely. With this in mind, Jenna Fischer picked a standout $1.9 million Mediterranean palazzo that sprawls on the scenic California foothills. For ‘The Office’ actress who owns a $14 million purse, we expect nothing less.
Whenever Fischer takes a break from work, she tarries her precious time in her gorgeous 4,565 square foot dig. The expansive two-story architecture previously owned by baseball legend Casey Stengel makes room for avant-garde amenities such as an athletic field and a pool, blended warmly by a private orchard garden. It’s even worth the chase inside as the upper levels are furnished with five bedrooms and comfortable sitting rooms.
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!
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.
Brad Pitt – Long Island – $25 Million
Almost everyone agrees that Brad Pitt might be Hollywood’s ultimate heartthrob and has millions of fans worldwide. While still together with her former wife Angelina Jolie, the power-couple rented the gigantic 22,000 square-foot mansion in Long Island during the filming of Jolie’s superhit film Salt. You might not know, but that gorgeous estate even has access to a private beach.
With a 48-foot cathedral ceiling, the entrance of the eight-bedroom mansion is through a great hall. Only recently, the property sold for a staggering $25 million. We wonder who the lucky owner of the massive estate is!
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!
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!
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!
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!
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.
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?
Chuck Norris – North Tustin – $3.5 Million
Actor, Airforce veteran, and professional martial artist Chuck Norris are best known for his punches and flying kicks. Even though he played numerous minor roles in many films, his career as an actor took off following his extraordinary performance in Breaker! Breaker!. Plus, the film made millions in the box office collection. At the height of his career, Norris bought the two-acre homely estate in North Tustin.
Currently, the property values a massive $3.5 million. Plus, the 5,500 square-feet home has access to a private lake, saltwater swimming pool, and a grove of trees worth a fortune surrounding it.
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.
Arnold Schwarzenegger – Los Angeles, Undisclosed
If there is a Hollywood actor who lives up to his name in every way, it is Arnold Schwarzeneggar. He’s worked hard as an actor and a politician and has built impressive careers in both fields. It is no wonder he has reaped the benefits, amassing an astonishing $400 million in net worth.
His 14,500 square-foot Mediterranean-style mansion sitting on 2.5 acres of land has a breathtaking view of the pacific ocean and canyons. The Los Angeles property situated in the Pacific Palisades area is a testimony to the ‘Terminator’ star’s luxurious lifestyle. It is a palatial house with seven bedrooms, a tennis court, and a swimming pool with a spa.
Chuck Woolery – Los Angeles – $1.7 Million
After retirement, Chuck Woolery decided to pack his bags and move to Texas. After all, the state was his home for many years until LA came calling for him in 2002. In his last leg at the Lone Star State, he resided in a 5,500 sq ft-huge mansion that sat on an entirely-fenced estate.
Moreover, the house had five bedrooms, six baths, not to mention an enviably large pool. Ultimately, the actor decided to let go of the house for just $1.7 million. Now that he has a fortune worth $15 million, we bet Woolery can afford something much bigger.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar – Los Angeles, California – $3 Million
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is a renowned former NBA player who spent the best part of his career with the Los Angeles Lakers and the Milwaukee Bucks. Even after retirement as an athlete, he pursued the job of a coach with several teams. The seven-foot-tall athlete has won a staggering six NBA Championships.
While Abdul-Jabbar has switched residences multiple times in his lifetime, he bought this one mansion in Marina del Rey, Los Angeles, in 2011. Apart from numerous other luxuries, it has a beautiful patio overlooking the ocean. Located in a gated community, the expansive house was listed on the market in 2016 for $3 million.
Dennis Rodman – Los Angeles – $1.1 Million
Whether he was playing for the best Chicago Bulls side we have ever seen or starring alongside Jean-Claude Van Damme in the action flick “Double Team,” the American former basketball player Dennis Rodman never leaves anybody indifferent. Always true to his somewhat erratic personality, Rodman once resided in an Orange County home that later hit the market for $1.1 million.
This Orange County mansion didn’t quite convince Rodman (who lived there for less than a year), but it sure fits the hefty million-dollar price tag. A ’70s ranch-style property, it comes with a master suite, five bedrooms, and 4.5 bathrooms.
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.
Stephen Amell – Hollywood Hills, $3.62 Million
Aside from being the hero, Oliver Queen also goes by the name deep-pockets and his real-life counterpart Stephen Amell is just as loaded. Not quite the billionaire, but the ‘Arrow’ star still stands at $7 million. Wonder where the dashing leading man stashes his millions; it sprawls in Hollywood Hill’s immaculate $3.62 million mansion.
A stronghold on earth, Amell’s 3,920 square feet residence is a 1930s Tudor style extravagance that’s unlikely to escape onlookers’ eyes. Dipped in subtle undertones, the massive living area features five bedrooms, four bathrooms, a cozy library, and a whimsy taproom. While the extramural shines with a lawn dotted sparkly pool and a spa, topping off with a stylish archway.
Ben Affleck – Los Angeles, $20 Million
While currently, Ben Affleck is house hunting with lady love Jennifer Lopez to move in together, he does own some gorgeous properties himself. One of his properties located in Los Angeles is a drool-worthy mansion that cost him around $20 million. Like any other movie star’s home, Ben’s abode has a dedicated theatre room big enough to hold screenings of his latest releases.
Yet, his picture-perfect bedrooms make his pad stand out among other celeb houses, as the white color scheme gives them a clean and aesthetic appearance. The ‘Gone Girl’ star has also made arrangements for a dedicated play area in the garden area for his children when they visit him.
Johnny Depp – $19 Million, Hollywood Hills
When it comes to houses, Johnny Depp is definitely not lacking. He does not own one but several. Safe to say, if he finds himself in different parts of the world, the actor has a home he can stay in.
Depp owns a village in the South of France, an island in the Bahamas, a mansion in England, several penthouses in his native America, a Kentucky ranch, and this property in Hollywood Hills, where he spends a lot of time. We can call this one an estate because it has five mansions, including the 7,430-square-foot main house where the ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ star stays. It has eight bedrooms, ten bathrooms, a huge yard, and a swimming pool.
Ezra Miller – Price Unknown, Vermont
Ezra Miller’s meteoric ascent in Hollywood over the past decade has been largely attributed to his outstanding performances in high-profile films like the “Fantastic Beasts” film franchise and “Justice League.” Despite all his riches, he made it a point to avoid the limelight whenever possible.
The modest house he built on a 100-acre farm in Vermont is a testament to his devotion to the Great Outdoors. Believe it or not, Ezra de-stresses by caring for his animals, from feeding them to even helping his goats deliver their little ones. Aside from that, the actor finds time to enjoy a walk in the greenhouse and his extensive apple orchards. It looks like Ezra has found his very own heaven on Earth, indeed!
Machine G** Kelly – Sherman Oaks, $30K
Machine G** Kelly and Megan Fox’s home in Sherman Oaks, Los Angeles, will blow your mind, thanks to its impressive features and amenities that might as well pass the residence for a luxury hotel. To get into the property, one has to make their way through a 26-foot entryway before being greeted with an open deck.
On the 5,300 square feet of land that this home occupies are quarters adjacent to the main residence, perfect for hosting extended family. The property with five bedrooms and five bathrooms also has a spa, a swimming pool lined with several Baja shelves, and a basketball court. For 30K every month, we’d say this residence is definitely worth it.
Pete Davidson – Staten Island, $1.2 Million
For the longest time, Peter Davidson lived in the basement of the $1.3 million mansion he got for his mum. That was until the comedian moved into his own apartment, which is every bit as grand and beautiful as his mother’s.
The contemporary-looking mansion is regarded as the “pinnacle of luxury living,” and with its high ceilings, large windows, and modern furnishings, it definitely is. With a perfect view of the Manhattan skyline and more than enough living space, we doubt that anything is lacking in this condo. This house is definitely an upgrade from the celebrity’s living space in his mother’s basement.
Caroline Kennedy – Massachusetts, $65 Million
In the mid-1990s, Caroline Kennedy, the sole survivor from the famed Kennedy clan, inherited her mother’s Martha’s Vineyard estate soon after her demise. Jacqueline Kennedy had bought the scenic 340-acre Red Gate Farm in 1978, and her daughter lived there with her family for years before putting it up for sale in 2019 for $65 million.
The main house was built on 6,456 square feet of land with five bedrooms, a two-story guest house, and a caretaker’s home that packs in many living quarters for everyone in the household. The outdoors takes breaths away – from the seagulls to the rolling dunes to the view of the crashing waves, it’s quite a sight to behold.
Barack Obama – Massachusetts, $11.75 Million
After spending two terms as the President of the United States, Barack Obama has a palatial home on 29-acres of land in the affluent Martha’s Vineyard. He paid $11.75 million for it, and the mansion was worth every penny.
The stunning house is built on 6,892 square feet of living space and has seven bedrooms, a barn, stone fireplaces, and a pool. It also boasts a private beachfront, a boathouse, and direct access to a pond from the house. Barack and his wife, Michelle Obama, along with their two daughters, have always loved to spend family time on the island in Massachusetts during vacations. Now, they get to live there.
Jimmy Carter – Georgia, $167K
Former President of the United States Jimmy Carter has always been modest and down-to-earth. Both he and his wife Rosalynn Smith lived a frugal life, and at the end of his presidency in 1975, they moved back to their humble abode in the Plains. It’s the same two-bedroom ranch the couple had made their home in 1953, 17 years before Jimmy became the President.
Built on 2.4 acres of property on Woodland Drive in Georgia, their home, worth $167k as of 2018, is a far cry from the mansions of the other politicians. Jimmy and Rosalynn have lived there for decades, with an added detail of being surrounded by a government-owned fence.
Bernie Sanders – Vermont, $575K
In 2016, after stepping off the campaign trail for his candidature for the Democratic Presidential election, Bernie Sanders bought a beautiful beachfront property at North Hero in Vermont for $575k. It’s a vacation home for the entire family to spend their summers cooling off at a scenic place near Lake Champlain.
The lakefront log cabin sits on a land area of 1.1 acres and has four bedrooms with enough space for the entire Sanders family to treat it as a seasonal getaway from the hustle-bustle of city life. They may never tire of the fabulous view of the Green Mountains from the cottage. In addition, a guesthouse is attached to the main structure to ensure comfortable accommodation for everyone.
Elizabeth Warren – Cambridge, $3 Million
American politician Elizabeth Warren is a lover of the good things in life, and it’s not surprising that she would live in luxurious digs. The senior US Senator purchased her magnificent Victorian-style mansion located in Cambridge back in 1995 for a paltry $447K and has called the place home since then.
While the abode might look small from the outside, once inside, one would be surprised. The three-story building comes with two massive bedrooms, three bathrooms, and several fireplaces. Over time, Warren has renovated the residence, and its value has significantly grown. If she were to sell it today, it would be worth over $3 million.
Elijah Cummings – Maryland, Undisclosed
Elijah Cummings was a respected politician known for his penchant for standing up for the rights of the people he represented and the entire country. During his illustrious stint in public office, Cummings kept details of his private life confidential, and as such, there’s not much information about his abode in Baltimore, Maryland.
The civil rights advocate led a modest life, despite his $1.3 million wealth, until his untimely demise in 2019. Even so, we bet Cummings furnished his abode with all the luxurious items he could afford, ensuring that he was as comfortable as possible when he got home from a long day in the office.
John Lewis – Atlanta, Undisclosed
John Lewis is widely considered among the most influential leaders of his time, and it’s easy to see why. The civil rights activist was famous for his selflessness, grit, and courage. He always had the interests of his people at heart. The former US representative was also a modest man, and not many people knew where he went to rest after a long day at work.
Lewis kept most details of his life close to his chest, and that included his home. The politician who passed on in 2020 is said to have lived in Atlanta until his passing, but there is no information about the exact location or the amenities he enjoyed.
Andrew Cuomo – New York, $1.8 Million
Before becoming the New York Governor in 2011, Andrew Cuomo was a famous politician who served in several public office positions, including working in the Bill Clinton administration. As an accomplished lawyer and politician, he has made a fortune that has enabled him to live in this cozy estate in New York.
Nicknamed the “Lilypond,” Cuomo’s home is fit for the influential politician, with four bedrooms, six bathrooms, and a massive living room. There’s also a pond, a creek, and a gazebo, all housed in a sprawling, well-manicured garden outdoors. Still, despite all the stately amenities, the attorney let the property go for a mouthwatering $1.8 million.
Ben Carson – Virginia, $1.2 Million
When one has over $30 million in thier coffers, it won’t be surprising if they splash some of it on real estate. Former United States Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Ben Carson isn’t new to purchasing stately mansions, and he added to his impressive portfolio with this fantastic residence in Virginia.
The surgeon and his wife spent $1.2 million on the property, and if the features are anything to go by, it’s worth every penny. The home comes with five bedrooms, four-and-a-half bathrooms, a gourmet kitchen fitted with granite countertops, and a host of ultra-modern appliances. Apart from that, there’s an entertainment room where the Carson family can play billiards or catch a movie.
Madeleine Albright – California, $13 Million
The key to Madeleine Albright’s career triumph was unrelenting guts to find her purpose. Going far beyond expectations, the late diplomat was the first-ever female secretary of state in US history. The determination she had to put women’s power on the map was truly admirable, and so was her bankable account of $67 million. Whatever she did, Albright made certain her resume was reputable.
Albright’s many estates were not by accident; she earned them. The pinnacle of that luxury was her 9,500-square-foot California mansion, worth an astonishing $13 million. That jarring price tag delights with top-of-the-line accommodations of nine bedrooms and eleven bathrooms with a tennis court and workout space added amusements.
George Bush – Texas, Undisclosed
As the 43rd president of a powerful nation, George Bush had enormous security. Along with the prestigious job came a parade of staff, a handsome salary, and the White House. Surely, he had a blast perking over such amenities. Yet, despite the endless provisions, Bush’s most precious time is spent in his Texas retreat.
Dubbed the ‘Western White House,’ the former president’s 1,600-square-foot abode is genuinely breathtaking. The interior scheme is all neutral colors with wrap-around casements, donned with pet portraits, a limestone chimney, and furniture pieces designed by Mrs. Bush. The outdoor effect features a tree-shaded pool and a flowery lawn that extends to a tree farm. Rest assured, this haven is anything but a modest outlay.
Donald Trump – Mar a Lago, $10 Million
In Donald Trump’s philosophy, if you want to be in the game, you need to think grand. Well, nothing could be more imposing than a $3 Billion fortune at your disposal. It goes without saying that for all Trump’s self-deprecating humor, he’s an esteemed man who goes after the biggest score.
Unsurprisingly, Trump’s favorite hideaway is his $5 million Palm Beach estate built by heiress Marjorie Merriweather in 1927. The posh palace sprawls in a 17-acre land, with a staggering 128 rooms. Eventually, he turned this abode into a private club, accessorizing it with a 20,000-square-foot ballroom donned in gold worth $7 million. Yet, for all its beauty, this paradise is a maintenance nightmare that runs by the millions.
Bill Clinton – $1.7 Million, Chappaqua
If you want a lifestyle like Bill Clinton, you ought to have at least a $120 million purse. The former President has made quite a fortune for himself through his formidable political maneuvering. With plenty of hard cash to dally, he can pretty much get whatever he wants, yet he opted for this $1.7 million, Dutch-colonial-style magnificence.
The high-fenced, 1.1-acre residence might seem modest outside, but Chappaqua holds one of the most expensive towns listed by Forbes. Thus, Bill’s estate is no different, boasting exquisite five bedrooms, a massive pool, and a parking lot. With political mayhem, the politician also added a barn for home-based security. Now we can see why this gem is a great place of comfort.
