Being able to afford everything you want, with even having to look at the price tags, would be a major flex. Having all the luxury of living in castle-like abodes while feeling like a royal is what these celebs are enjoying right now, and for sure, these properties don’t come cheap. One look at these luxurious mansions and it’s hard to stick to the claim that money can’t buy happiness.
From private movie theaters, trampoline rooms, and massive infinity pools to indoor tennis courts, insane art collections, and private beaches, these celebrities don’t hold back when it comes to maximizing their real estate investments. So, buckle up and prepare to be amazed as we explore the most lavish and expensive homes of the rich and famous.
Bill Gates
Over seven years and $63 million in the making, Xanadu 2.0 (and yes, it’s a Citizen Kane reference) makes it to the list. Owned by Microsoft co-founder, Bill Gates, this mega-mansion is said to cost around $125 million and is situated in Medina, Washington. When we say it’s huge, we mean it.
At 66,000 square feet, it houses 7 bedrooms, 6 kitchens, and 24 bathrooms. We could probably all move in and Bill wouldn’t even notice for a good few months! It’s no surprise to see that this mega-complex features the most advanced technology, a large trampoline room, and a huge library that houses Leonardo da Vinci’s manuscript worth $31 million.
George Clooney
Villa Oleandra, owned by George and Amal Clooney, also has a place on this list of the most expensive celebrity homes. Perfectly situated on the banks of Lake Como, this massive 18th-century villa was purchased by Clooney in the year 2002.
With its dazzling beauty and ornate features, this Italian mansion was even chosen as the filming location for Clooney’s movie, Oceans 13. It features a total of 25 rooms, an outdoor theatre, landscaped gardens, a full gym, tennis court, and pool. It even has its own separate pizza room and a massive garage for Clooney’s motorcycle collection.
Melania Trump
58 stories above New York City lies the luxurious penthouse of Melania Trump, situated in Trump Tower at 725 Fifth Avenue. Valued at $100 million, this three-floor penthouse offers a breathtaking view of the New York City skyline. The former first lady is living the dream of being a real-life queen.
With lots of marble, mirrors, and crystal accents, 18th-century French decor, and even a Sistine chapel-inspired ceiling, the penthouse apartment was made to look as if you’re living in a palace. It even has a private elevator to take Donald Trump to his office located on a lower floor.
