Most of us are used to keeping up with our favorite celebrities’ newest projects, their fashion trends, and lifestyles. One of the most common fascinations we all have is about their wealth and fortune. Generally, it has to do with its real estate and luxury vehicles.
When famous people achieve great success, their bank accounts simultaneously surpass common limits. Therefore, most celebs often opt for the most lavish households, and these acquisitions almost always hit headlines. Here we have a list of 55 celebrity properties that will make you feel a tad jealous but will surely blow your minds away. Let’s start
Billy Joel – $16.9 Million, Palm Beach
After his song Piano Man became a huge hit, Billy Joel became the “Piano Man.” With more than 150 million record sales around the world, he made a sweet, sweet fortune for himself. With all that money rolling in, Joel purchased multiple properties.
His Palm Beach mansion caught the eye of many when news broke about the purchase. Joel purchased the 13,000-square-foot house in 2014 for $11.8 million. It seems that the eight-bedroom eight-bathroom residence overlooking the coast was purchased as an investment property. We believe so because just one year later, after renovations, he listed the mansion for $19.5 million—a price tag that later dropped to $16.9 million.
Barbi Benton – $11.95 Million, Los Angeles
The real-life Barbie girl from the ’70s, Barbi Benton, is 69 years old now. Having been a model for the well-known men’s magazine and a television personality, Benton went into early retirement in 1986. Although it has been decades since she retired, we remember her like it was yesterday.
Benton’s house in Los Angeles is anyone’s ultimate dream house. But maybe she doesn’t enjoy it as much because the property has been on-and-off in the market for years. The 11,600-square-foot deluxe house went was last listed for $11.95 million in 2011. Given that Benton’s husband is a real estate developer, it would be a shame if it remains unsold.
Sophia Loren – $22 Million, Rome
The Italian actress Sophia Loren only rose to prominence following her portrayal of Cesira on Two Women in 1961. This performance earned her a Grammy Award for Best Actress, and multiple other prizes were added to her collection over the course of her career.
Loren’s late husband, Carlo Ponti, gave her the house of her (or anybody’s) dreams when they settled in their 19th century 50-room mansion post-marriage. The 1,300-square-meter estate went up for sale in 2018 for a whopping $22 million. Located in the Appian Way Park, this beauty had the most rustic yet classy interiors.
