The house has a home cinema, two fireplaces, a gym, and floor-to-ceiling windows with breathtaking views of Hollywood. He sold the property for $3.5 million in 2013. In 2012, Levine paid just over $4.8 million for another bachelor home in Beverly Hills. The ranch-style property had five bedrooms, seven bathrooms, a gourmet kitchen, a pool, a spa, a gym, and a screening room. Everything fits Levine's laid-back lifestyle. However, he eventually sold the property to his friend John Mayer in 2018 for $13.4 million.
In 2014, Levine and Prinsloo decided to relocate to the East Coast, purchasing a $4.5 million condominium in SoHo, New York. The apartment is located in a cast-iron structure from the early 1900s and has an old industrial vibe about it. The one-bedroom, two-bathroom loft sold for $5.5 million in 2016. In 2017, Levine paid $18 million for a French Regency-style mansion built in the 1960s. The five-bedroom residence has five bathrooms, a two-story guest house, a pool cabana, and a garage on 1.2 acres of ground. When the couple found out they were expecting their first child, they put the house on the market six months later.
The most expensive residence Levine has is a Tudor-style mansion he purchased from Will and Grace co-creator Max Mutchnick. Built in the 1930s, the $35.5 million mansion has seven bedrooms, eight bathrooms, a media room, a gym, two kitchens, a theater, and a guest house.

Rihanna is reported to be worth $600 million due to her great music career and lingerie and beauty business. It's no surprise that she's rented and bought properties worth more than $100 million in California, New York, England, and Barbados.

RiRi rented this property for £18,000 per week, or $25,000 per month, for a total of $100,000 per month. True hot girl sh*t.

Former Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos is still the world's richest person, with an estimated net worth of $140 billion. He has amassed a large real-estate portfolio spanning the United States, from his native state of Washington to New York City. Jeff Bezos spent approximately $80 million on three adjacent New York City apartments in June 2019, two months after he and his ex-wife MacKenzie announced their divorce. This comprised a three-story penthouse and two condos right below it, making it New York's most costly real-estate transaction south of 42nd Street. He also has a few more properties in New York.
Bezos also owns two properties on 5.3 acres in Medina, Washington. In 1998, he spent $10 million on the first property, a 20,600-square-foot, 5-bedroom, 4-bathroom home. The other is a $53 million, 8,300-square-foot, 5-bedroom, 4-bathroom mansion.
Bezos also owns property in Beverly Hills, one of Los Angeles' most affluent areas. Bezos paid $24.45 million for a Spanish-style estate with seven bedrooms, seven bathrooms, a greenhouse, a tennis court, a swimming pool, four fountains, and a six-car garage in 2007. It literally cannot get any more romantic. And, because this estate was clearly insufficient, he bought a "modest" 4,568-square-foot mansion next door for $12.9 million ten years later.
Bezos purchased the Warner Estate in 2020, originally intended for Warner Bros.' former president, Jack Warner. He paid $165 million for the 9-acre property, making it the most expensive mansion ever sold in Los Angeles. Bezos also owns a 30,000-acre property in Van Horn, Texas, roughly 30 miles away. Bezos paid $23 million to purchase a former textile museum in Washington, DC in 2016.

Madonna's holdings in the United Kingdom grew more in 2007. She paid $8 million for a 10-bedroom townhouse in Marylebone, one of London's most affluent neighborhoods, from designer-developer Paul Davie. This was her sixth residence in London, following a family townhouse, two cottages for her servants, and two properties for Kabbalah groups.

There is a two-car garage, a king-sized library, nine fireplaces, an elevator, and a climate-controlled wine cellar in the townhouse.

Since 2003, Ellen DeGeneres and her girlfriend Portia de Rossi have purchased and sold over 20 houses. Her real-estate portfolio began in 2003 when she purchased a Hollywood Hills property for $6 million, the same year she launched The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Three years later, she sold the four-bedroom, four-and-a-half bathroom property to Will Ferrell for $9 million. They paid just over $1.2 million for a mid-century-style property in Hollywood Hills nicknamed "the treehouse" in 2004, the same year they started dating. They sold it to actor Heath Ledger for $2.1 million a year later.
In 2007, the pair paid $15.75 million for a mansion in Montecito, California, which they later sold for $20 million. A year later, the dynamic duo increased their holdings by purchasing a $29 million 9,200-square-foot residence, followed by the purchase of two properties next door to add to the estate. They also own an $8.5 million horse property in Thousand Oaks, California, which they purchased that year and sold for $10.85 million in 2013.
They purchased a three-bedroom Tudor in Montecito in 2020, which was initially built in England in the 1700s and then imported to the United States. DeGeneres and de Rossi paid $3.6 million for this landmark location, but a few months later, in June 2020, they sold it to buyer Ariana Grande for nearly twice that amount. They paid $49 million for a 4-acre property in Montecito in September. The estate included several structures, including a Cape Dutch-style main house and a barn built by Tom Kundig.
DeGeneres and de Rossi chose to repurchase the historic Montecito property they sold in 2017. They paid $14.3 million, nearly double what they had originally paid. A month later, they spent $2.9 million on a tiny beach cottage near Butterfly Beach. DeGeneres owned approximately half-dozen houses in Montecito alone as of this year.

Winfrey paid $50 million for her 42-acre Montecito estate, which includes a 23,000-square-foot Georgia-style house, a 6,000-square-foot guesthouse, a tennis court, a pool, and other patios. In the decades thereafter, Winfrey purchased surrounding houses to add to her Montecito holdings. The most recent addition was in 2019, when she paid $6.85 million for a 4-acre complex from actor Jeff Bridges, bringing her ranch to 70 acres.
Despite the fact that Winfrey has sold numerous houses over the years, it is thought she still owns at least six homes in the United States.

Actor and environmental activist Leonardo DiCaprio has a private island in Belize, which he described to The New York Times in 2015 as "like heaven on Earth."
The movie megastar began his career at the age of five and has since grown to become one of the world's most successful actors in Hollywood, with an estimated net worth of $260 million. He has five mansions, as well as several luxury condos in Manhattan.
A $5.2 million Palm Springs midcentury-modern mansion (7,000 square feet, 6 bedrooms, 7.5 baths, tennis court, and guest house), a $2 million Hollywood Hills home formerly owned by Madonna (12,530 square feet, 5 bedrooms, 8.5 baths, and a basketball court), a $23 million home on Malibu's Paradise Cove (1.76 acres and 90 feet of beach frontage), and a $13.8 million oceanfront house elsewhere in Malibu are among his California (3,268 square feet, 4 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms).
In 2021, DiCaprio sold his historic Los Feliz property for $4.9 million to Los Angeles native Miguel. Later that year, he paid $7.1 million for Gwen Stefani's old Los Feliz property from Jesse Tyler Ferguson, as well as a famous $10 million estate in Beverly Hills. His primary residence is a three-house, four-parcel compound in Los Angeles' Bird Streets in Hollywood Hills, which includes a house formerly owned by pop icon Madonna.
He also owns a $1.75 million private island in Belize on which he planned to create the Blackadore Caye eco-resort, but his ambition was never implemented. Leonardo had planned to develop the island into an eco-friendly luxury resort, but those plans have apparently been put on hold due to concerns about the impact of a resort on local fishing grounds.

The house was worth $2.6 million when an arson fire broke out in 2021.
The couple had always wanted to live in Bel-Air, so in 2017 they made their wishes come true by purchasing a 30,000-square-foot estate for $88 million.
