The Most Breathtakingly Lavish (And Expensive) Celebrity Homes

Us normal (read: poor) people don’t normally get to see the enormous mansions that rich and famous people get to live in. But every now and then, a celebrity sells their mansion.

That’s when the rest of us get a chance to peek inside…

Kim Kardashian’s Hidden Hills Mansion

Hidden Hills is the new Beverley Hills. The quiet LA neighborhood has always played host to the rich and famous, but with residents including Miley Cyrus and Drake, it’s beginning to gain a lot more notoriety.

The crowning jewel of Hidden Hills is the mansion owned by Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, a truly labyrinthine structure that they bought in 2014 for $20 million from Lisa Marie Presley.

But the West family has still never been happy with their gigantic home, and it’s become known as the “never-ending remodel” because it’s constantly under construction.

Caitlyn Jenner’s Malibu House

Caitlyn Jenner’s fantastic Malibu home was a lot more modest than Kim’s enormous mansion. But while it was a lot cheaper to buy (costing “only” $3.5 million), it was a bespoke wonderland in its own right.

It ultimately proved to need a lot of upkeep. In 2017, 60 mph winds ripped part of the house’s roof clean off, and in 2018, it was severely damaged in the California wildfires.

Its current occupancy is unknown, but Jenner is probably not spending a lot of time there at present.

Tom Cruise’s Ski Lodge

Poor Tom Cruise. Twice now, in 2014 and then again in 2017, he has attempted to sell his expansive Colorado home. Neither time did he actually succeed in finding a buyer.

Because while the place is absolutely beautiful, it is incredibly remote and hard to get to. Plus, Cruise insists that it’s worth $59 million, and potential buyers in the area clearly disagree.

Jessica Chastain’s New York Apartment

Jessica Chastain’s beautiful apartment in Midtown Manhattan cost her a cool $5 million, which is understandable considering its convenient location opposite Carnegie Hall and its expansive size.

Try finding another New York City apartment that has three bathrooms.
