Celebrities have it all. But genuinely. ALL.
Pub, bowling alley, aquarium, trampoline room, ice skating rink… You name it, there’s most definitely a celeb who has it in their home.
And why stop at just one? Some famous faces have an array of houses to their name – plain greedy if you ask us.
We all know that celebs have inordinate amounts of dough but just how much are they willing to drop on their super swanky homes? These price tags are frankly outrageous. Money has definitely gone to their head as one mansion is even decked out with a moat… *sigh*.
Well…without further ado, try and hold down that green-eyed monster within you as we delve into the most expensive (and frankly outrageous) celeb houses ever…
Ellen DeGeneres – $45 million
Craziest Feature: Outdoor Pizza Oven
Situated in Santa Barbara, this 17 acre estate has a stunning view of the mountains and the Pacific ocean
The house itself was built in 1930 and includes 6 bedrooms, Italian Style floors, an indoor-outdoor living space with a pizza oven, tennis court and fountains. Ellen has a reputation for flipping properties and this one she bought for a modest $26.
Will and Jada Smith – $42 million
Craziest Feature: A meditation room
Not in Bel Air but Malibu, the Smiths own their custom made mansion, built entirely by hand!
With 9 bedrooms, a recording studio, a meditation room, basketball court, tennis court and a lake – this home sounds more like the perfect holiday retreat.
Dr Dre – $40 million
Craziest Feature: A MOAT
It might be the last thing you expect, but Dr Dre’s five-bedroomed pad actually has a moat surrounding it.
An actual moat. Keeping in line with the celeb norm, there is also an infinity pool looking over the Pacific ocean, a poolside cabana and an outdoor bathtub.
P.Diddy – $40 million
Craziest Feature: Water tunnel into a pool.
This stunning house is one of P Diddy’s multiple homes and is situated on an acre of land with 8 bedrooms, 11 bathroom, a gym, wine cellar and theatre.
There is even an underwater tunnel that leads out to a lagoon-style pool…
Aaron Spelling – £150 million
Craziest feature: Ice Skating rink
The 56,000 square foot mansion is THE MOST expensive celeb house in the world!
Four garages, three kitchens, gym, bowling alley, orchard, tennis court and even a skating rink, you’d be absolutely spoiled for choice for leisure activities to try. God, what would it be like to be THAT rich?
Bill Gates – $125 million
Craziest Feature: Trampoline Room
Bill Gates home is an absolute beast. You’d have to write an essay to cover all the amazing aspects of his place, so here are the highlights.
The 7 bedroomed house has 24 bathrooms, six kitchens, ginormous library with a domed roof, a trampoline room, a pool with an underwater music system AND a man-made stream stocked with fish…and that’s just the highlights. If you’re ever lucky enough to go, don’t worry about getting lost – each guest is given a pin with a microchip to track their location… naturally.
Hugh Hefner – The Playboy Mansion – $100 million
Craziest Feature: Zoo License
The infamous mansion has 12 bedrooms, 29 rooms and was designed right back in the 1920s.
There’s a luxurious pool connecting to a cave where you will even find a hot tub- perfect place for pool parties. The weirdest thing about the house is the fact that it has its own zoo license with monkeys, cockatoos, peacocks, parrots and more…because every home needs a zoo?
George Clooney – $100 million
Craziest Feature: Pizza Room
This villa has the best of both worlds: with original charm in its ornately carved ceilings and tile floors, but also state-of-the-art gym, spa-like bathrooms and an outside theatre.
The best bit? There’s a “pizza room”. Clooney definitely has the right idea.
George Lucas – $100 million
Craziest Feature: Observatory and a Fire Station (?!?!)
George purchased the ranch back in 1974 and it is believed that he has spent a colossal $100 million on renovations.
Little is known about his abode as information is limited and super secretive… When Reagan was in his presidency, even he was even refused a visit! What little is known about it is that there is an observatory, a theatre, a library, a pool, vineyards and apparently even a fire station…for some reason.
Taylor Swift – $84 million in total
Craziest Feature: Climate-controlled wine cellar
Across 4 states, this pop star owns not one, not two but EIGHT homes in total. The saddest part? She’s not even 30! It’s not unusual for celebs to have multiple houses to their name, but Taylor has taken it to a whole new level with three homes in New York alone.
She purchased two houses next door to knock through and create a massive duplex… not just a pretty face, eh.
Oprah Winfrey – $88 million
Craziest Feature: Horse Riding Facilities
The millions are starting to rack up now with this 6-bedroom, 14-bathroom house situated in Montecito.
There’s a *deep breath* gourmet kitchen, wine cellar, two theatres, horse riding rings, paddocks, covered stalls, a horse trainer’s house, stables, barn, pool, 2 outdoor fireplaces, man-made lake for fishing, ponds, avocado grove, entertainment area, guest house (with its own pool) and a koi pond *exhale*. Hot. Damn.
Jay Z and Beyoncé – $88 million
Craziest Feature: Gaming Centre
This singing duo actually got a pretty sweet bargain on their pad (believe it or not), as the original asking price was actually $135 million!
The property has SIX separate buildings: the main house, a gaming centre, garage (to hold 15 cars), 4 pools, a smart house, a spa and wellness centre. Bey’s the Queen of pop and she’s definitely living like royalty.
Bella and Gigi Hadid – $85 million
Craziest Feature: The Moroccan Room with a Turkish Bath
Their family home was designed by their father Mohamed, who is a developer of a plethora of decadent houses – as expected, the Hadid’s family home is truly spectacular.
There’s a Parisian style sitting room with crystal chandeliers, six bedrooms and, apparently, the master suite is the size of a normal American home! Just. Plain. Greedy.
Brad and Angelina – $67 million
Craziest Feature: Helicopter Pad
Nestled in the south of France, this castle and vineyard is just one of the many properties the couple owned, dating back to the 17th century.
There is also multiple swimming pools, a movie theatre and a helicopter pad for when they need to jet off at a moment’s notice to one of their other posh pads.
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West – $60 million
Craziest Feature: Basketball Court
With a full music studio, a spa, a two storey playroom…the house will have plenty of space for them and their children.
But they’re not stopping there and plenty more work is due to take place, such as adding a hair salon, gym and basketball court. You’d never have to leave the house!
Tom Cruise – $59 million
Craziest Feature: Private Motocross Track
His house spans over a whopping 298 acres outside of Telluride, CO. With wall length windows, panoramic views of the mountains – the views are unquestionably absolutely stunning. They even have their own private trail path and a private motocross track, as well as court for various sports and even a library.
As a guest, you obviously wouldn’t be expected to share the house, instead having your own private guest house… which itself is probably bigger than most normal houses.
Tiger Woods – $54.5 million
Craziest Feature: A boathouse
Tiger’s home is another custom-built property on Jupiter Island. There are four putting greens and a putting studio – obviously, what else did we expect? You can actually practise pretty much any sport you want to as there is a running track, a basketball/tennis court, 60 foot diving pool, 100 foot lap pool AND a boathouse.
He’ll never be bored… Seems more like an activity weekend lodge.
Cindy Crawford – $50 million
Craziest Feature: Tennis Court
This beachfront Malibu property is yet another property overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Considering its price, there is actually only 4 bedrooms.
Sliding glass doors, a wraparound deck with a fire pit, a tennis court and private path to beach… would you really pay $50 million for it? I’d think again.
Sting – $50 million
Craziest Feature: Sauna
Sting’s crib is just round the corner on Central Park, with double sculptural spiral staircases, dual spa bathrooms and even a SAUNA in the master bedroom.
As if that wasn’t enough, the building has a fitness centre, steam room, screening room and a private restaurant… Some people really do have it all.
Leonardo Di Caprio – estimated $50 million altogether
Craziest Feature: His own island!
Los Felix, Hollywood, Carbon Beach, Battery Park, Palm Springs and Malibu…Leo will never be short of a place to stay. Amazingly, he has even bought his own island! Maybe he doesn’t realise that The Great Gatsby was just a role…
He wants to develop it as a luxury getaway spot, whilst – in true Leo style – maintaining the existing habitats. Keep an eye out for the opening.
Christie Brinkley – $49.5 million
Craziest Feature: Observation Tower
Supermodel Christie was seeking this whopping amount of money for two houses in the Hamptons and will live in:
“whichever one doesn’t sell first.”
With one house having a 50-foot observation tower and the other having a private waterview terrace, they’re sure to be snapped up fast!
Demi Moore – $44 million
Craziest Feature: Projection Room
Living in New York is a dream, but a crazy expensive one. Demi’s ‘floating mansion’ is on a whole new level… 6 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, her house rises above Central Park.
There is even a projection room, a fireplace and a terrace that wraps around the building.
Celine Dion – 38.5 million
Craziest Feature: Water Park
This estate has a water park. Water. Park. Just for her. The twisting water slides were even built to her specifications and are situated between the other pools and a beach house with a massage room.
The main house contains every single woman’s dream: a custom closet with automated clothes racks and shoes carousels. Wow.
Jennifer Aniston – $38 million
Craziest Feature: Wine Room
One of the many stars to nab a place in Beverly Hills, Jennifer has openly expressed the love she has for this house… as would we if we owned this stunner.
Her house has a tropical feel with a bridge arching over a koi pond and she even describes it as a ‘big hug.’ Jealous much? Certainly.
Lori Loughlin – $35 million
Craziest Feature: A spa
Lori and her husband bought this mansion for $13.9 million in 2015, but with a complete overhaul it is now worth a fair bit more.
With 6 bedrooms, 9 bathrooms the best part of this stunning house is definitely the spa! Why haven’t we all got a spa in our house? It would definitely ease the Sunday blues.
The Beckhams – $40 million
Craziest Feature: A swimming pool and apple orchard… in LONDON!
With stunning chandeliers, antique mirrors and fabulous fireplaces, this London-based mansion is a little piece of heaven.
Even with young children running about the place, the Beckham’s pad is absolutely pristine. Just another reason to add to the list of why we’re jealous of them…
Gwen Stefani – $35million
Craziest feature: Chicken Coop
Gwen’s sweet escape is set looking over the San Fernando valley with six bedrooms, two separate master bathrooms and dressing areas.
And yes of course, if you’re a guest, you get your own house, a large infinity pool, an outdoor kitchen, a tennis court and there is actually a chicken coop too. Can we come for a visit?
Adam Levine – $35 million
Craziest feature: A screening room
The Maroon 5 singer’s home in Beverly Hills boasts 7 bedrooms, 8 bathrooms, a screening room, a pool, a tennis court AND a guest house.
This isn’t even the only property that the singer owns, as he bought a house in the same area for $18.9 million! Some celebs just have too much money…
Jerry Seinfeld – $32 million
Craziest feature: Baseball field
In this comedian’s house, you can probably keep more cars than people as the garage holds up to 22 cars!
But don’t worry, if you’re invited over there is a guesthouse for the lucky ones to stay in. You can even take a swing on the baseball field while you’re there.
Mark Wahlberg – $30 million?
Craziest Feature: Library
Mark built his own ‘megamansion’, which is reportedly a whopping 30,000 square feet in size!
There is eleven bedrooms and EIGHTEEN bathrooms; in case that’s not sufficient, there is even a guest house for anyone who wants to come and visit and with a: pool, basketball court, wine cellar, movie theatre and a library, I’m sure there’ll be a long waiting list!
Mel Gibson – $29.75 million
Craziest feature: Sea turtles, ocelots and howler monkey in the surrounding jungle
Mel Gibson has several assets to his name, one of which is 403 acres of the Costa Rican Jungle!
The estate is comprised of THREE villas overlooking the pacific ocean with pools, barbecues, balconies and 17 bedrooms in total… Not jealous at all.
Joan Rivers – $28 million
Craziest Feature: Ballroom
Joan’s Penthouse was just off Fifth Avenue in New York City with four bedrooms and five wood-burning fireplaces.
The property consists of the top three floors with terraces that overlook Central Park and the city. The decor is extremely lavish with a ballroom, antique panels and French doors… just like being royalty.
Jennifer Lopez – $28 million
Craziest Feature: Mini-golf course
This 7-bedroom, 13-bathroom home was designed and built in the 1940s and has literally everything you could possibly dream of. There is a 30-seat screening room, a vineyard, a man-made swimming pool, a mini golf course AND an infinity pool. It’s an absolute dream.
Staying over wouldn’t be a squeeze either with TWO guesthouses on offer… because one of the 13 bedrooms just wouldn’t be sufficient.
