Each of us does our best to create a space of our own that we can call home and begin to furnish and decorate it a way that closely represents both our lifestyles as well as our sense of style. Since the urge can be found in all humans, there’s no surprise to find celebrities using their bank balances to do this exact same thing with their bundles of cash. Often they go overboard buying up massive mansions to live in where they can entertain several guests without each of them feeling a lack of privacy.
Most celebrity homes are located on estates that span many acres and include homes that take up many thousands of sqft. There are those who’ve used their money to create artistic and appealing homes but there are also those who spend millions and end up with homes that look the worse for all that investment. Naturally, we’ll focus only on the best homes.
Afternoon TV queen, Oprah has a massive 23,000 sqft mansion that sits on a sprawling 42 acre lot that she’s named Oprah’s Hearst Castle. While the landscape includes a man-made lake filled with rare species of fish, and a Montecito sandstone brick driveway, the house itself is a six bed, 14 bath affair that also includes a home theater and ten different fireplaces. Winfrey’s home is situated in Santa Barbara, CA.
Following close on the heels of Oprah’s crib is the temporary home that Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell set up in Vancouver, Canada – a move they made to be able to encourage their son’s foray into the sport of hockey. The house, which is now on sale, is made in the Tudor style and contains 5 bedrooms, a gym and a theater, apart from the entrance hall which itself contains a kitchen, 2 dens, a fireplace, a personal yard and a coach house. In addition to all this the home boasts a living room for formal occasions, a dining room, a master bedroom with attached dressing room and a conservatory. Altogether the house contains 11 fireplaces to keep it warm and cozy.
George Clooney’s villa in Laglio, Italy is next. It’s known to be his favorite place to relax and get away from it all and has hosted several of his celebrity friends like Cathrine Zeta-Jones and her husband Michael Douglas. Clooney even got the Ocean’s Twelve’s team to film a few scenes in it. The massive villa boasts twenty five rooms, a pool outdoors and a motorcycle garage for Clooney’s toys.
Jerry Seinfeld’s home since 2000, is also one we ought not to end this article without mentioning. Purchased by Seinfeld from Billy Joel, this mansion is situated in New York’s East Hampton. Seinfeld paid a whopping $32 million for this Tudor mansion built on the waterfront. Set on 14 acres, the home consists of three buildings that together contain 24 rooms, 8 baths (and an additional 5 half-baths), pools both indoors and outdoors, a bowling alley, a gym, a tennis court, a music room, a cottage for guests, a wine cellar and a smoking bar.
