These Politicians Houses Leave Us With No Words
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!
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.
Kamala Harris – Washington DC – Undisclosed Price
With Kamala Harris starting a term as the Vice President of the United States, she now has a temporary new home, pending when the U.S Naval Observatory, which is the residence for every Vice President – gets wholly renovated.
The temporary house for the Vice President and her husband, Doug Emhoff, is the Blair House, also known as the President’s guest house. It is located somewhere in Pennsylvania, directly across the street from the White House, and has fourteen bedrooms and thirty-five bathrooms sitting on almost 61,000 square feet of land. Yes, you can say it is larger than the White House because it actually is.
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.
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.
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.
Al Gore – Nashville, Undisclosed
It wouldn’t be an easy task for someone to even come close to Al Gore in having an impressive resume. The man has been the 45th Vice President of the United States of America, a prominent author, environmental activist, and a Nobel Peace Prize winner. In addition, the politician is also the owner of a stunning property in Nashville.
Gore owns a beautiful mansion that is spread on an area of 10,000 square feet and looks striking from an aerial view. The house is surrounded by greenery, which makes sense why an environmental activist would choose to live there. The house is exceptionally spacious and has about 20 rooms.
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.
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!
RON DESANTIS – FLORIDA, $350,000
Ron DeSantis is the first man of Florida. He has served as the 46th governor of the state since 2019. Being the governor of Florida comes with a lot of perks, including living in the Florida Governor’s mansion. The stunning residence was designed by Marion Sims Wyeth and has 30 rooms with 15,000 square feet of living space.
The historic residence in Tallahassee was added to the United States National Register of Historic Places. You can already guess that it is worth a lot of money, and you won’t be wrong as it costs $350K. In 2022, he signed the Parental Rights in Education Act into law.
MIKE BLOOMBERG – LONDON, $23 MILLION
Former NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg has a London property that is reported worth £15 million (roughly $23 million). It is said that with multiple people trying to acquire the home that once belonged to English novelist George Eliot, Bloomberg had no problem paying $2 million more to get his hands on the mansion.
The 18th Century building is located in the Chelsea neighborhood in London. It boasts seven bedrooms, five reception rooms, and five bathrooms. The main attraction of the private home is a central staircase with a mural of Venus painted by Sir James Thornhill. Thornhill is also the man that has had the honor of painting the dome at St. Paul’s Cathedral.
RUDOLPH GIULIANI – PALM BEACH, $3.3 MILLION
Rudolph Giuliani became a household name as the 107th Mayor of New York City from 1994 to 2001. With all that’s credited to him, you can bet he has a fat pocket. Unfortunately, we can’t say the same about Giuliani’s marriage.
In 2018, his wife Judith filed to end things. Following this, the pair put one of their two Palm Beach condominiums up for sale with a price tag of $3.3 million. The apartment has 2,280 square feet of living space, and 1,944 square feet of it is fully air-conditioned. In 2022, Giuliani’s Doctor of Laws Honoris Causa from the University of Rhode Island was revoked.
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.
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.
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.
Andrew Yang – Manhattan, Estimated Rental fee of $3880 – $4,880
Count on Andrew Yang to always speak his mind. While he may have started the 2020 Presidential run lagging behind more prominent names, his unconventional thinking to resolve social disparities got him on top of the crowded bench. Surely a man like that lives a far more interesting lifestyle behind the scene.
Hell’s Kitchen is actually a real place. One of its famous residents is none other than 2020 Presidential candidate Mr. Yang. His lavish two-story Manhattan abode commands the view of the Hudson River, with additional features of a parking garage, swimming pool, and a roof deck. A unit at River Place hits the masses with a rental fee between $3,880 to $4,880 a month.
Cory Booker – New Jersey, $435K
Some of the things that come to our minds when we mention politicians are big houses, fancy wheels, and other fancy stuff. Well, let’s just say that not all are the same. While we see some politicians surrounded by luxury, some like to do it the humble way.
Take United States senator Cory Booker for example. The man chooses a humble lifestyle, and his house is the aptest representation of his choice. Booker’s abode, located in New Jersey, is built on an area of 2,818 square feet. The politician got the house to his name in 2011, and it is worth an estimated value of about $435K
Gabrielle Gifford – Tucson, $1.5 Million
Gabrielle Gifford has lived her life the way she wanted. She is a retired American politician and has spent her years advocating for her views. After doing so much, the woman is now living a happy and peaceful life with her husband in a luxurious house in Tucson.
Her beautiful ranch house is located in the El Encanto neighborhood. It’s a reasonably large house as it is built on a 4,500-square-feet, so the couple won’t be out of space if their families and friends come to stay over. The home features ten spacious rooms and a pool too. With all the amenities, the house came to a total of $1.5 million.
John Kerry – Chilmark, $11.5 Million
People have different tastes when it comes to housing. While some people prefer to live in the heart of a busy city with an active lifestyle, some like to keep it calm and serene somewhere away from the hustle and bustle of crowded cities. Talking about a quiet lifestyle, such is the choice of former United States secretary John Kerry.
Kerry paid a total of $11.5 million for his property in Chilmark, and we can’t complain because it is beautiful. In return, he got 18.5 acres of land in the Martha’s Vineyard. On the ground stands tall a house facing the seashore. The house was built back in 1924 and features seven bedrooms.
John P Kennedy III – Massachusetts, $1 Million
The Kennedy Family of the United States of America has a lot of things to boast about. The family has been serving in United States politics for a very long time. The service is now being taken care of by John P Kennedy III, who also shares the beautiful Kennedy Compound with his family, apart from an active political background.
The Kennedy Compound is located in Massachusetts. The family property is on an area of six acres of sea-facing land. The property has a total of three houses. The largest of which was donated to the Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the United States Senate.
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.
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!
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.
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.
Susan Rice – Washington – Undisclosed Price
Susan Rice is one of the most prominent politicians in the US, having served in government for about two decades. Being the former National Security Advisor, we can only marvel at how she has managed to keep her private life under wraps. It’s probably a tactic she has learned in the trade, to the extent that not much is currently available about her Washington home.
What we do know, however, is that this is where she loves to unwind, and judging by the lush greenery surrounding the property, it sure is the perfect spot to catch some clean air away from all the noise.
Gretchen Whitmer – Michigan – Undisclosed Price
Gretchen Whitmer is a political powerhouse in America, currently serving as Michigan’s Governor. As such, she has the privilege of living in the Governor’s official residence.
It’s the perfect summer house, with white exterior paint that reflects sunlight, all while being surrounded by tall trees. The front yard, which has ample parking, can be converted into a badminton court for her kids, who can also enjoy some more greenery in the garden room. The mansion built on 8,000 square feet was also gated recently to enhance security for the state’s number one.
Mark Zuckerberg – Lake Tahoe – $59 Million
When you have a little over $100 billion that’s sitting in the bank, it becomes quite challenging to find a place that is luxurious enough. And that is precisely why Mark Zuckerberg took ownership of not one but two estates in Lake Tahoe!
In 2009, the Facebook founder went all-out and purchased two properties – Carousel Estate and Brushwood Estate – for $59 million. Spread over 10 acres, the compounds house 15 bedrooms and have jetties for boating enthusiasts. All other details about this sprawling holiday home are shrouded in secrecy!
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.
Dr. Phil – Beverly Hills – $5.75 Million
Almost everyone living in the US might have heard the name Dr. Phil, thanks to his popular television show. The outstanding host owns a luxurious house in Beverly Hills that Phil bought for a whopping $5.75 million. Surrounded by lush green trees, an outdoor kitchen, a heated pool, and a spa, the estate matches the star medical professional’s taste for luxury.
Besides that, we are sure that you would be stunned to see the interiors decorated with an original display of twelve g*** and expensive yet strange artworks. In short, the 6,100 square-feet house is eccentrically exceptional!
Melissa Gilbert – Michigan – Undisclosed Price
You might remember the stunning Melissa Gilbert from the famous television show Little House on the Prairie. However, not many people know that Gilbert and her family called their property in Michigan their home for more than three years.
Interestingly, despite being famous, the superstar took some time out of their busy routine to participate in community and charity works. And probably that is why everyone in the neighborhood loved them. These days, Gilbert is still keeping herself busy with her filmmaking and acting career. We can’t wait for her to rock our television screens again!
Sophia Loren – Rome – $22 Million
Sophia Loren became a household name following her performance in the 60’s superhit Two Women. Not only her performance earned her a Grammy nomination and numerous other accolades, but it also gave her pretty hefty paychecks. Soon after marrying her late husband, the duo settled in the nineteenth-century fifty-bedroom mansion in Rome.
The best part about Loren’s home 1,300 square-feet is its rustic yet classic interior. Reportedly, they bought the gigantic estate for a massive $22 million. We think it might be one of the best mansions on our list and all for the right reasons!
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.
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!
Bruce Willis – Los Angeles, $9.8 Million
It was a sad day in 2022 when Bruce Willis announced his retirement from acting. He deserves plenty of rest, health, and happiness, especially after entertaining us for four decades with brilliant performances. In 2019, he and his wife Emma moved into their new home at Brentwood Park in Los Angeles, perfect for spending quality time with his loved ones.
The 13,048-square-foot mansion with seven bedrooms, a home theater, spa, pool, and a gym is large enough to host his extended family of ex-wife Demi Moore and their three daughters when they come to visit. Bruce paid $9.8 million for the beautiful property, boasting high ceilings and winding staircases.
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.
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.
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.
Harry Styles – $4 Million
Harry Styles can almost sing “Started from the bottom now we’re here,” and he wouldn’t just be talking about his music career. The singer has also come a long way in terms of living conditions. From being a small-town boy in a tiny English village, Harry has gone on to own several properties in England and the United States.
One worthy of note is the songwriter’s Beverly Hills mansion which he purchased for $4 million. After undergoing a thorough renovation, the 1967 mansion now boasts manicured lawns, a sleek kitchen space, a swimming pool, and a cozy patio area. Once designed to have five bedrooms, the Beverly Hills house has three rooms.
Jana Kramer – Price Undisclosed, Nashville
The gorgeous Jana Kramer, known for playing Alex Dupre in the popular series ‘One Tree Hill,’ lives in the exclusive Nashville residence, the highly-coveted area that she calls home. Well, you know that her stellar musical journey of two decades has paid off when you glance at this jaw-dropping villa.
With five bedrooms and five bathrooms, the epic mansion is huge enough for the songstress’s family of four. The interior features a brick log fireplace, two alcoves, a wine bar, geometric-style rugs, and a winding staircase. Besides, there is a lovely terrace area for al fresco dining and an open-air swimming pool. Wow!
Lara Gut Behrami – Genoa, Undisclosed Amount
Gut Behrami has been having an amazing time on the snow as she continued making incredible lap times in her skiing career. As you can already tell, her job description is quite physical meaning she needs regular recovery intervals.
