There are drawbacks to being wealthy and well-known, such as utterly no privacy and hordes of photographers searching for scandals that could ruin a career. It definitely has advantages as well, though. Having a sizable personal fortune entitles one to purchase some of the largest houses in the US and abroad. The wealthiest celebrities own enormous portfolios of real estate; some even make flipping houses their second job. These properties, which are owned by reality TV moguls and Disney stars alike, have gyms, libraries, cigar rooms, and even subterranean parking garages—everything an A-lister could possibly want.
Celebrities Whose Mega Mansions Costs Millions Of Dollars
1. Oprah Winfrey
Price: $88 million*
Location: Montecito, CA
Oprah is the ideal illustration of what is possible if you put your mind to it. Despite having a difficult beginning to her life, Winfrey went on to build one of the largest media empires in history. Oprah, who is currently valued at over $1 billion, has largely invested her money in her expansive Montecito mansion, known as “Promised Land.” Situated on 42 acres close to Santa Barbara, the picturesque property was originally purchased by Winfrey following her attendance at a party there in 2001. The owners were initially opposed to selling, but once the TV celebrity took out her pocketbook and made them an alleged $52 million offer, they quickly had second thoughts.
