10 Amazing Celebrity Houses

10 Amazing Celebrity Houses

When Celebrities buy real estate, it’s not your usual affair. Everyone from the media to publicists are involved. And they’re not looking for 3 bedroom ranches either.

In the world of celebrity real estate it’s all about the perks, beds, baths, pools, screening rooms and basketball courts are what it’s all about. Check out some celebrity homes:

1. Donald Trump’s Mar-A-Largo



Mar-A-Largo is Donald Trumps quiet little vacation getaway, though knowing The Donald it’s probably all gaudy inside. The home boasts 58 bedrooms and 33 bathrooms with over 62,000 square feet of living space. Oh and it also has 3 bomb shelter so his combover can live long after we’re all gone.

Wait a minute. 58 bedrooms? Who the hell would want all those house guests.

2. Bill Gates’ Home on Lake Washington



How would you like to pay over $1 million in property taxes? For us that seems like a lot, for Bill Gates it’s pocket change. The Gates family has a helluva log cabin there, don’t they?

3. Avril Lavigne’s House



This is a big house for two people, isn’t it? This home in Bel-Air boasts 10 bathrooms, 8 beds and a 10 car garage. She’s so punk that one.

4. Eddie Murphy’s House



Can anyone say “over the top?” Eddie Muprhy’s house looks like a beach side hotel resort. I didn’t find too many details for this house but suffice it to say it’s pretty darn big for one person. Guess he’s planning for when his 200 kids come to visit.

5. John Travolta’s House



What? Your house doesn’t come with a runway and places to park your jumbo jets? His pool looks tiny in comparison, doesn’t it?

6. Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith’s House



See now this is a house for a married couple with kids. Everyone has their own space. No fighting over bathrooms or what to watch on TV because everyone has their own. There’s a lot going on there, isn’t there?

7. Ryan Seacrest’s House



Well this is quaint, isn’t it? Not as ginormous as the others, but then Ryan is only one person. This 10,000 square foot crib once belonged to Kevin Costner. The house boasts five bedrooms, a media room, billiards room, tennis court, gym, pool, spa and staff quarters.

8. Oprah Winfrey’s House



You know, I wouldn’t expect anything less from Oprah Winfrey. She likes us to think she’s just plain folk like the rest of her, given her humble beginnings and all. But make no mistake, girlfriend likes to live large. The fountain in the back is a lovely touch, isn’t it? Looking at the grounds I’m thinking it’s not a particularly environmentally friendly home.

9. Larry King’s House



Who knew Larry King lived so close to the curb? It’s probably just as well because when his current wife kicks him out, he won’t have too far to walk. This is a modest little home in comparison to his talk show counterpart above.

10. Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony’s House



Good thing J.Lo and March Anthony have all this space what with their twins and all. Marc Anthony probably requested a house of this magnitude so he can hide from his wife’s diva demands.

Re: 10 Amazing Celebrity Houses

1. Meh hard to be impressed by Trump anymore. He might as well be scrooge mcduck.
2. Same as above.
3. I'm shocked she has that much money. People really buy her music?
4. Is that Tony Montanas house? I think I see a sniper tower in the upper right.
5. Travoltas house suits him. Bizzare.
6. Good for Will Smith. That house looks awesome.
7. I expected more from Seacrest.
8. Good for Oprah too. That's one hell of a mansion.
9. Makes me feel bad for him.
10.It's nice but nothing special.

Interesting topic. Sorry if you didn't want my feedback I just like making lists.

Bill Gates started and runs "the largest transparently operated charitable foundation in the world."

but then again, according to bill's shorts, in the future, computers will be moist and chewy, like cakes so we can eat them while we work.

Re: 10 Amazing Celebrity Houses

Yeah sorry for lumping Gates with Trump. It's just they're both so crazy rich. Other than that they are nothing alike.

Re: 10 Amazing Celebrity Houses

I have a personal peeve against Bill Gates/Microsoft bashing.
1. I agree rich people need to be knocked down a peg.
2. I don't think Bill Gates should be singled out as especially stingy, greedy insert negative adjective here.
3. I might be biased because my first real job was with MS.
4. I still think windows is the best OS on the market for the average user. Although Linux is closing the gap very fast. I think in a year or two I will recommend the average user switching. The reason why there are more viruses and other attacks aimed at Windows is not because it is inferior but because it is more popular. If Macs or Linux had bigger market shares then they would have more viruses and other malware.

As far as ridiculously rich people go he seems better than average.

Re: 10 Amazing Celebrity Houses

let me just go on record as saying, my remark was not anti-bill, my remark was pro-bill&jerry commercials.

They're the funniest things I've seen on TV for a long time...besides Louis CK on my Wii's internet channel's youtube...


funniest guy ever.


oh yeah. congrats rays, well played....
