Celebrity homes have always fascinated the curiosity of many. And with the mainstream media, these luxurious and extravagant homes can’t help but generate public interest. There’s a certain charm in getting a glimpse of the lives of these A-listers behind closed doors, and peeking into their sprawling million-dollar estates is a thrilling ride people would love to encapsulate in. Besides, people love checking out home-related inspos, whether interior design, gardening, furniture, or anything else related.
It’s worth noting though that these celeb homes are worth far more than a typical residential home, which makes them much more interesting for the public. We mean, what would they do with homes with over 15 bedrooms and bathrooms? So, buckle up because here are some celebrity homes you would love to live in:
When the Dutch and Duchess of Sussex stepped back from the official duties of the Royal Family in 2020, they also decided to make America their home. The couple purchased a modish mansion in Montecito, Santa Barbara, where they are now leading somewhat private lives and raising their two children.
The $14.7 million estate has nine bedrooms and 16 bathrooms. The 14,500-square-foot main house sits on a 7.4-acre of land, including a pool, tennis court, tea house, and children’s cottage. The Sussexes even converted their two-bedroom guesthouse for Meghan’s mom, Doria Ragland. The property’s listing stated that the estate has sweeping lawns, tiered rose gardens, tall Italian cypress trees, and lavender and century-old olive trees.
In 2013, singer-songwriter Taylor Swift bought an 11,000-square-foot mansion in Rhode Island for $17.75 million. The house has been known as the place where Swift hosts her parties with her family and friends. The property sits atop the highest point in Watch Hill, which gives you 700 feet of shoreline and views of Little Narragansett Bay.
Her holiday home has 8 bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, 8 fireplaces, a pool, and a summer house. There’s also a recreation room, a service kitchen, and a 5-car port garage. The house must mean something to Swift as she paid homage to the home’s former owner, Rebekah Harness, in her 2020 album Folklore.
Coming at the heels of the release of her latest studio album ‘30’, Adele made headlines anew at the start of 2022 when she was revealed to have shelled out a whopping $58 million on her new estate in Beverly Hills, adding to her growing real estate portfolio in the star-studded city.
Adele bought the property, which boasts a 3.5-acre land spread over 8 bedrooms and 12 bathrooms, from Sylvester Stallone. The Los Angeles mansion also has a gym, sauna, an infinity pool, a movie theater, a bar, and two adjoining guest houses. The megamansion also comes with a backyard that has dining and lounge areas.
There’s a lot of interest in Beyonce and Jay Z’s opulent mansion in Bel Air that they purchased for $90 million in 2017, marking the highest-selling transaction in Los Angeles that year. The couple remains elusive while raising their 3 kids and has so far only given the public sneak peeks of their grand abode.
The estate spans 1.88 acres and includes 8 bedrooms, 11 bathrooms, and a 15-car garage. It also has a spa, a home cinema, four swimming pools, and a basketball court. On Instagram, the award-winner singer shared a photo of their rooftop pool that overlooks Bel Air and is surrounded by a fire pit and large sofas.
In 2019, Kim Kardashian gave a tour of her and Kanye’s notoriously “empty” home, setting social media and even the real estate world abuzz on how minimalism can be the new aesthetic. All of that is thanks to Belgian designer Axel Vervoordt, who designed the home with minimal interiors and many neutral tones.
The former couple purchased the sprawling Hidden Hills mansion for $60 million and came with two swimming pools, two spas, a gym where Kim and her equally famous sisters always work out, and a vineyard on its 4.5-acre land. Kardashian, who is very active on social media, has shared bits and pieces of the property, including her kids’ playroom and even the vast, industrial-looking kitchen in another section of her home, which houses her pantry.
Following Kim and Kanye’s messy divorce in 2021, Kim is said to have paid his ex-husband $23 million for the property where she now lives alone with their 4 kids.
Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates took 7 years and $63 million to have his tech home, Xanadu 2.0, come to fruition. Xanadu 2.0 is an earth-sheltered home, which means it’s built into its surroundings to regulate temperature more efficiently. As of 2022, the Medina property is now worth $127.48 million. The mansion overlooks Lake Washington and is loaded with high-tech details, from tech gadgetry to eco-friendly design.
Public records show that the 66,000-square-foot home has 7 bedrooms and close to 19 bathrooms. It also has a swimming pool, an underwater music system, a gym, and a 1,000-square-foot dining room.
