John Legend, Ellen DeGeneres and Robert Downey Jr. are just a few of the stars in show business who have built their own palaces. They have spent many millions of dollars on them. Then there are the stars who are not satisfied with just a huge house. Nope, it must be something exceptional! From a windmill to a giant country house in the middle of the forest. These are the 10 most unusual celebrity houses!
Jennifer Lawrence stands in the forest
So what do you do when you’re young, and success in Hollywood knows no bounds? That’s right, buy a house for 8 million US dollars. That’s at least what Jennifer Lawrence did when she treated herself to this chic house in Los Angeles. Encircled by the radiant green of countless trees, the home, which already belonged to Ellen DeGeneres and Jessica Simpson, seems like a little oasis in the forest. Indeed, the property of 5,500m² in size is simply surrounded by a huge garden.
A yacht for Travis Scott
A 23.5 million US dollars has cost the ex-boyfriend of Kylie Jenner this chic house near Los Angeles. The estate includes a 17,000m² property with an infinity pool. Of course, for the money, he could have also bought a real yacht…
The die is cast with John Legend and Chrissy Teigen
Since 2016 Chrissy Teigen and John Legend have been allowed to call this villa in Beverly Hills their own. Seven bedrooms, eight bathrooms – What more could you ask for? Quite a lot, it seems, since, in 2020, the couple put the house up for sale again because they wanted to expand domestically. However, Chrissy and John also want to expand their family and settle into a new domicile after the tragic miscarriage of their son Jack.
A Touch of Bali for Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi
Suppose you can’t fly on vacation right now. In that case, you’re probably glad to have a home that resembles an idyllic bungalow in Bali. This is perhaps what Ellen DeGeneres and her partner Portia de Rossi thought. The “Salt Hill House” in Santa Barbra has more than 8,000m² of living space and impresses with a view of the Pacific.
Iron Man meets windmill
Hard to believe that Iron Man would also be interested in idyllic country life, given that technology and modernity are so important to him! But in real life, Robert Downey Jr. lives with his wife and their two children in this 19th-century Hamptons vacation home.
Alicia Keys jumps into Iron Man’s house in the triangle
Pop singer Alicia Keys paid a whopping 20.8 million US dollars for the “Razor House” mansion north of San Diego. The estate, which allegedly inspired Tony Stark’s “Razor Point, Malibu Lair” mansion, features not only a heated infinity pool but also a two-story room made of glass and an underground garage. Fun Fact: A few scenes from Iron Man were filmed in this one.
Glitz and glamor for Kylie Jenner
If you have 900 million US dollars in your bank account, you can afford a 44 million dollar villa in Los Angeles. The half-sister of Kim Kardashian moved into the residence with almost 1,400m² of living space together with her daughter Stormi. Seven bedrooms and fourteen bathrooms allow the successful entrepreneur to stay in a different room every day of the week. The 23-year-old can also keep herself busy around the clock, thanks to a home theater and her sports court. One thing that luxury car fan Kylie will be most pleased about: 20 parking spaces for her luxury cars.
Round and round, Justin Bieber
But what looks like a huge commercial building is Justin Bieber’s luxurious home. The singer lived in Malibu for rent between December 2014 and February 2015. 60,000 US dollars the singer paid for the villa, which, due to its bird’s-eye view, neighbors call “Salad Spinner House”, that is, looks like a salad spinner. However, he moved out after a short time because the 700m² domiciles were entered too often by fans.
Designer house for a designer
Tommy Hilfiger likes it a little more unusual, just as it should be for a designer. This dream of bright colors is located in Miami and offers strikingly colorful details at every turn. Mickey Mouse pictures, a lemony yellow room, cherry wallpaper on the walls, and a disco ball on the ceiling await in the 14,000m² mansion he redesigned with his wife.
Lenny Kravitz’s temple of relaxation
The singer bought the Miami mansion in 2001 for under $9 million. Six bedrooms and a full 11 bathrooms are part of the Florida residence. Also, private boat dock, a movie theater and scores with its own saltwater pool. However, the singer sold the house again for almost 15 million US dollars in 2005.
The fan house of Nicolas Cage
It can get quite warm in California. Particularly in beautiful Malibu. Those who don’t want to melt from the heat here better always have a fan, just like Nicolas Cage. Nicolas Cage secured himself this house, or rather this dream villa on the coast. However, it seems that he was not so happy there. 2019 he sold the villa for a whole 30 million US dollars.
A little castle for Kelly Clarkson
The idyllic Encino, California, is the former home of singer Kelly Clarkson, who purchased the house for $8.5 million as recently as 2018 and had it remodeled to her specifications. There are eight bedrooms, as well as 11 bathrooms and a 2-story guest house that are part of the property. She put the 10,000sq ft home up for sale for under $9 million eight months after her divorce from husband Brandon Blackstock.
The Friendship House of Cindy Crawford and George Clooney
Hold on, these two are not a couple at all, right? Nope, but they’re excellent friends who not only distribute their own brand of tequila but now share a house in beautiful Mexico. George Clooney and his wife Amal live most of the time in Los Angeles, whereas Crawford and her now ex-husband lived in Malibu. So they shared the house with seven bedrooms and ten bathrooms, mainly for vacations.
Tom Cruise in his wooden cottage
This extravagant wooden mansion in the idyllic state of Colorado scores with a 130-acre plot, 9 bathrooms in the main house and such tranquility that the house is hard to find. Talk about a dream! Nearly sealed off from the outside world, it’s a beautiful place to bike around on your bike trail or work out on your own sports court. Cruise already wanted to sell the house in 2014 – to no avail. He will try again in 2021: prospective buyers can buy the house for a mere 39.5 million U.S. dollars.
