Rachael Ray – $4.69 Million, Southampton

When you’re a celebrity Chef, it doesn’t matter how many bedrooms or bathrooms you have or how big your pool is. For TV personality and author Rachel Ray, the most important thing is having a dreamy kitchen. The cozy, wooden-floored, rustic kitchen with a center island counter is most definitely dreamy, and what’s even better, the house in the Hamptons has yet another kitchen!

Just to fill you in, it has three bedrooms, four bathrooms, and not only a pool but a pool house with two extra rooms and bathrooms and the second kitchen. But none of that matters; all that matters is that Rachel enjoyed her two kitchens thoroughly before listing the house for $4.69 million.

Kamala Harris – $5.2 Million, Los Angeles

Kamala Harris is a history-making politician and is now the Vice President of the United States of America. But while the title holds political sway, the salary isn’t much. Nonetheless, there are perks, and she even gets to live in the house at number one Observatory Circle, Washington.

Before they were requested to occupy the property in Washington, though, she and her husband Douglas Emhoff lived in a 3,500-square-foot house in Los Angeles. The house had four bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms and was built in 1948. Harris’s husband paid $2.8 million for it, and in 2021, it was estimated at $5.2 million.

Elizabeth Holmes – $5,395 Per Month, San Francisco

The rise and fall of Elizabeth Holmes were so insane that it was made into a book and a documentary. She gained prominence after her company Theranos claimed to have redefined how blood testing could be done. She was dubbed the youngest and wealthiest self-made billionaire with a net worth of $9 billion.

But then, the company’s claims were fraudulent. Her net worth was set to zero, and she was dubbed among the World’s Most Disappointing Leaders. She has also moved out of her Russian Hill apartment. The two-bedroom, two-bathroom house is up for rent at $5,395 per month. She currently lives with her fiancé, hotel heir Billy Evans.

Travis Barker – $2.8 Million, California

Travis Barker is renowned as one of the best drummers in the music industry. He gained fame as a member of punk rock band Blink 182 and is also a founding member of +44 and Boxcar Racer. Due to his talent and fame, he has been dubbed punk rock’s first superstar drummer by Rolling Stone Magazine.

Fame translates into money, and Barker has a $50 million net worth, meaning the $2.8 million he shelled out on this luxury home in Calabasas was just a drop. The 7,200-square-foot house comes with six bedrooms, six bathrooms, an outdoor fireplace, and a playroom. In 2021 he started dating Kourtney Kardashian.

Joel Osteen – $10.5 Million, Houston

Joel Osteen is the kind of man who practices what he preaches. So when he says God wants you to live in prosperity and not poverty, he is going to live on the former, not the latter. With a popular show that reaches 10 million people in America, the $100-million worth televangelist is clearly living in prosperity.

Osteen also has a house of prosperity in Houston, Texas. This is a six-bedroom, six-bathroom house that has three elevators. It has an outdoor pool with a pool house and another guesthouse on the property as well. In 2021, he released another book titled Peaceful on Purpose.

Matt Damon – $16.645 Million, Brooklyn

When you want the best for your family, you go all out to get it. That’s what Matt Damon, star of films like The Martian and The Talented Mr. Ripley, did in 2017 when he did the most expensive real estate deal in Brooklyn, buying his $16 million Condo.

With a wife and four children, Damon needed as much space as he could get, and forked out on the 6,000-square-foot spot. It has six bedrooms, a kid’s playroom, a gym, wooden floors, and other amenities. In 2018 rumors broke that that Damon and his family might move to Australia, but these rumors were debunked.

Leonardo DiCaprio – $1.75 Million, Belize

Leonardo DiCaprio went beyond buying a mansion and bought himself an island instead. He fell in love with the island while on scuba diving during a holiday. He purchased the island intending to build an eco-friendly resort with hotels and villas as well as a research center to study global warming.

The island can now host up to 36 bungalows and 36 villas. The entire island will run on solar power and also have a new artificial reef, nursery, and indigenous vegetation replanted. As a popular fishing spot in the area, Blackadore Caye suffers from overfishing and, as it provides wood for Belize, deforestation, too.

Kate Hudson – $5.3 Million, Pacific Palisades

What do you do when you live in your childhood home, but really want to buy another house without actually moving? You do what Kate Hudson did and buy the house next door. The actress purchased the mansion she grew up in with mom, Goldie Hawn, in 2003 for $5.5 million.

In 2011, she expanded her real estate portfolio and her property line by purchasing the mansion next door, too. Hudson, who made her name in films like How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days, paid $5.3 million for the new mansion, which serves as a guesthouse and includes six bathrooms, a spa, pool, and five bedrooms. 

Jennifer Aniston – $42 Million, Beverly Hills

Voted the most beautiful woman in the world by People Magazine in 2016, Jennifer Aniston is widely regarded and a Hollywood sweetheart. As a matter of fact, the title of her first autobiography was Biography of a Hollywood Sweetheart. It was during her ill-fated marriage to Brad Pitt that they purchased this Beverly Hills mansion.

She and Pitt bought the mansion in 2001 for $13.5 million, but after their divorce in 2015, they sold the property to hedge fund manager Jonathan Brooks. Now the 12,000-square-foot, six-bedroom, 12 bathroom mansion is back up for sale, with the price recently dropped from $49 million to $44.5 million.

 Cameron Diaz – $4.25 Million, Manhattan

Charlie’s Angels alumni Cameron Diaz and her rock star husband Benji madden now live in a $2.2-million-pad in Los Angeles. But before she moved in with hubby, the star of Knight And Day lived in a Manhatten apartment designed by highly regarded interior designer Kelly Wearstler.

The apartment, situated in Greenwich Village, is 1,400 square feet with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a massive lounge with a wood-burning fireplace. Of course, with a child on the way, Diaz and Madden needed a home with a bit more yard space, something the Manhatten apartment didn’t offer. Diaz has announced that she’s formally retiring from acting.

Jessica Alba – $9.95 Million, Beverly Hills

Despite her nearly $10 million home being move-in ready when she purchased it, actress Jessica Alba still felt the need to do renovations before moving in. Alba brought in interior designers Kathleen and Tommy Clements to create the home she envisioned.

The 9,000-square-foot Beverly  Hills mansion, previously owned by film producer Mike Medavoy, took nearly a year and a half to renovate. Alba added a foyer and filtered more natural materials to the structure. The property in total is 1.85 acres and includes a free-standing guest house and ocean views.

Kevin Durant – $12.05 Million, Malibu

2018 NBA superstar Kevin Durant spent $12.05 million on a contemporary-styled house. In 2019, he listed it for $12.15 million. It’s unclear why he listed it so soon after buying it, as it clearly isn’t about profit, but it did coincide with Durant moving from the San Francisco based Golden State Warriors to the Brooklyn Nets.

The Malibu house was built in 1976 and sits on an open gated street. The 5,100-square-foot open plan structure is walking distance from the beach and boasts oak floors, high ceilings, four bedrooms, and six bathrooms. There’s also a home theatre and an elevator. 

Alex Trebek – $3.995 Million,  Los Angeles

In the same year that he started hosting the revived hit gameshow Jeopardy, Alex Trebek also bought himself this four-bedroom Mansion in Los Angeles. While he no longer owns it, it is back up for sale at $3.995 million and is said to be ideal for a single person still looking to live out their youth.

It explains a lot since Trebek was a single 44-year-old man when he bought the house, before selling it in the ’90s, after marrying his second and current wife, Jean Currivan. The mansion has black and red decor with tiles, glass bricks, and a two-story master bedroom. Alarmingly, in March 2019, Trebek announced that he had pancreatic cancer.

Carson Palmer – Estimated $25 Million, Del Mar

In 2010, NFL quarterback Carson Palmer bought a half-acre property from the city of Del Mar for $4.4 million. By the time he listed the property in 2015, it had an 8,000-square-foot, three-story house built on it. His asking price? A spectacular $25 million.

Whoever buys it will be getting their money’s worth. The 2002 Heisman Trophy winner spared no expense when building the house from the ground up. Six bedrooms, eight bathrooms, an infinity-edge swimming pool, and an open-air living room. It also has a total of five fireplaces. It’s unclear whether Palmer has sold the house yet, but he currently lives in Wood River Valley.

Tiger Woods – $57 Million, Florida

After his controversial divorce from ex-wife Elin Nordegren and scandalous DUI arrest, Tiger Woods took some time to rebuild himself. Part of this rebuild was a new $57 million mansion. The mansion is 9,700 square feet split into two parts: A living quarters and a multipurpose building.

The living quarters has three suites and Woods’ master bedroom, while the multipurpose building is kitted with a gym, home entertainment and media room, and an oxygen therapy room. Outside there is a 100-foot lap swimming pool, a diving pool, basketball courts, and if Woods is having company arriving by boat, a dock on the ocean side of the property.

Drew Barrymore – $9.995 Million, California

When she was married to art consultant Will Kopelman, actress Drew Barrymore lived in a sprawling, 6,6640-square-foot Santa Barbara estate she bought for $5.7 million. As a matter of fact, this is where the two exchanged their wedding vows, which probably explains why she was so eager to sell it after their divorce in 2013.

Barrymore managed to get the six-bedroom, six-bathroom, two-acre estate sold for $6.35 million, leaving behind views of the Santa Ynez Mountains and a private playground for the kids. It underwent further renovations in 2016 and went back on the market in 2019 for nearly $10 million.

The two time Oscar winner and wellness guru designed the house with wellness in mind with a meditation garden, fountain, and gym. It’s also an open plan paradise with glass interior walls and a glass elevator. Unfortunately, the mansion formed part of her time with ex-husband and music producer Richard Perry, and she eventually sold the house for just under $13 million.

Ellen DeGeneres – $45 Million, California

Ellen Degeneres is a serial house flipper and has bought and sold over 12 houses in 20 years. This Montecito Property in California was surely her most profitable sale to date.

The 10,500-square-foot mansion sits on a 17-acre property and includes six bedrooms, six bathrooms, a swimming pool, and a media room. They eventually dropped their price to $39.5 million and eventually sold it to Ted Sarandos, Netflix Executive, for $34 million.

They bought the house in 2006 for $2.92 million. The mansion had a formal dining room, sauna, and wine cellar, and it’s incredible that the couple eventually sold the house for $545,000 less than what they bought it for. Between them, they have a net worth of $16 million.

Originally built in 1927, the 9,486-square-foot home cost her a cool $2.8 million and features 23 rooms in total, a pool, a training facility, and an outdoor patio. After recently suffering from back problems and sciatica, Goldberg is currently using a walker since she’s having trouble walking.

The two also owned a five-bedroom, 10,600-square-foot Nashville home. The spectacular home, decorated with pieces from various centuries, also had a tennis court, swimming pool, and a basement games room with a bar.

But when they parted with one another, they also parted with the house. After Shelton hooked up with Stefani, he built a Hawaii-style house on the banks of Lake Texoma in Oklahoma. The setting of this home also inspired the title of his last studio album, 2017’s Texoma Shore.

Lauren Conrad – $5.2 Million, California

Star of the reality show Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County, Lauren Conrad is no stranger to buying and selling properties. As a matter of fact, in 2017, she sold two high-end properties, including this 5,900-square-foot Mediterranean-style home in the Pacific Palisades.

The fashionista let go of the two terraced, five-bathroom, five-bedroom for $4.99 million.

People thought that Conrad had decided to leave Los Angeles altogether, but she didn’t and is currently living in the Pacific Palisades again.

It was recently listed for $42.5 million.

Katy Perry – $4 Million, L.A.

When you get engaged to one of Hollywood’s leading men, you get so happy, you sell your house. At least that’s what Katy Perry did after Orlando Bloom popped the question in 2019. Perry sold her $4 million Mediterranean-style villa in Los Angeles $8.9 million.

While she gained a hefty amount of money in her bank account, the buyer got a four-bedroom, six-bathroom mansion with a large pool along with a cabana with a spa. Perry and Bloom are now expecting their first child and live in a 5,427-square-foot house in Beverley Hills.

The property has basketball courts, a golf course, tennis court, huge garage, and a recording studio and is currently valued at $42 million. The price increase is mostly due to the renovations, which took seven years to complete. Smith most recently starred in the third installment of the Bad Boys franchise.
