Living a luxurious life is one of the best things you can do if you're paid a lot of money. Imagine living in a home that costs millions, even billions of dollars. Can you imagine that? Since we were all little kids we dreamed of owning a mansion and we've all thought about what our dream house would look like inside and out.
Celebrities who are paid a lot make use of their money to live a breathtaking and unique life in a magnificent home (or homes) that is totally different from the homes in which we live. Some celebrities own the most expensive homes in the world and these homes are equipped with everything that's needed and more in order to live a comfortable and wealthy life that suits their position. We present to you, the most expensive celebrity homes in the world.
Aaron Spelling-$150 Million
Aaron Spelling is a famous television producer who owns the most expensive celebrity home in the world. The mansion is located in Los Angeles and is 56.500 square feet. There is four garages, three kitchens, a swimming pool, a modern gym, skating rink, bowling alley, orchard, and tennis courts.
The Manor, also known as Spelling Manor, is a mansion located in the Holmby Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles, California, across the street from Holmby Park. Constructed in 1988 for television producer Aaron Spelling, it is the largest home in Los Angeles County. It is currently owned by British heiress Petra Stunt, daughter of Formula One racing magnate Bernie Ecclestone. Stunt purchased the home in 2011 for $85 million after it had been on the market for two years with an asking price of $150 million, making it the most expensive residential real estate listing in the US at the time
Bill Gates-147.5 Million
He's not just the founder of one of the most profitable companies in the world, he's is also the richest person in the world, but his house isn't the most expensive home. His home is located in Medina, Washington, and costs $147.5 million. He has a swimming pool, bowling alley, a gigantic library, a state-wide server system, and there is a pin that is given to the visitors used to change the temperature of the home, lighting, and music.
With a net worth of $88.3 billion, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates is the richest man in America.
It shouldn't be too surprising that one of the wealthiest people in the world also has an insanely extravagant home. It took Gates seven years and $63 million to build his Medina, Washington, estate, named "Xanadu 2.0" after the fictional home of Charles Foster Kane, the title character of "Citizen Kane." At 66,000 square feet, the home is absolutely massive, and it's loaded to the brim with high-tech details.
Cindy Crawford-$60 Million
Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber bought another four-bedroom, six-bathroom mansion in Malibu less than a year ago for $6 million. Now they've put it on the market for a shocking $15.45 million. But is it worth the price jump?
Jeff Bezos - $165 Million
Owner and founder of one of the largest e-commerce companies in the world, Jeff Bezo, just purchased the most expensive home in Beverly Hills, California.
Previously owned by Warner Bros Studio boss Jack Warner. This house sits on 9.4 acres boasting with huge terraces, gardens, guest houses, a tennis court, and even a golf course.
Tiger Woods - $60 Million
Tiger Woods' ex-wife Elin Nordegren, who was married to the pro golfer for six years, has placed her 11-bedroom Florida mansion on the market for $49.5 million. Woods and 38-year-old Nordegren divorced in 2010. The property was purchased by Nordegren in 2011 for $12.25 million, and the custom-built mansion was completed in 2014.
The 23,176 square-foot oceanfront home is in Seminole Landing — a private, gated community in North Palm Beach, Florida. The property comes with 11 bedrooms, 15 full baths, a guest house, and a four-car garage. Other perks inside include a wine cellar, theater, fitness center, a catering kitchen, and a three-story Swarovski crystal chandelier. The home is inspired by British West Indies architectural design, and if the beach doesn't impress, there's also a swimming pool equipped with a waterslide and spa, lounge areas with fire pits, a half basketball court, and a putting green.
Hugh Hefner-$54 Million
With the passing of 91-year-old Hugh Hefner, the iconic Playboy Mansion in L.A.’s posh Holmby Hills ‘hood will be handed over to its owner, next door neighbor Daren Metropoulos, who will embark on what will no doubt be a comprehensive and costly overhaul of the fabled estate.
Though he occupied it as his home for almost five decades, in recent years the legendary Playboy Mansion was not owned directly by Hefner but rather by Playboy Enterprises which, after putting it up for sale in early 2016 with a preposterous asking price of $200 million, sold the estate in August 2016 for $100 million to Mister Metropoulos, silver-spooned businessman son of billionaire C. Dean Metropoulos. Conditions at the time of the sale stipulated Hef, to be buried next to Marilyn Monroe at the Westwood Village Memorial Park, would remain in residence until his death at a rental rate of $1 million per year.
Oprah Winfrey - $50 million
Oprah Winfrey is one of the most famous people, not Justin the United States, but in the whole world thanks to her talk show that began in 1986. Her home costs $85 million and is located in Montecito, California and it has 6 bedrooms, 14 bathrooms, 10 fireplaces, movie theater, garden, teahouse, and a lake that is dedicated to her collection of fish.
In order to live your best life, you've got to love the place you call home—or in Oprah Winfrey's case, the multimillion-dollar homes you own all over the country. It should come as no surprise to anyone that the media mogul's real estate portfolio is the stuff of dreams. According to Forbes, she's got a net worth of around 3.1 billion (yes, with a B), so dropping $28 million on a horse farm barely even puts a dent in Queen O's wallet.
Earlier this year, Oprah purchased the Seamair Farm Estate, a 23-acre horse farm in Montecito. The "once in a lifetime property" hadn't been on the market in over 30 years, so Oprah was lucky to purchase the lavish property at auction.
Ryan Seacrest - $49 million
Ryan Seacrest expanded the home to 9,500 square feet, and bought the two neighboring properties and created a pond. There are also two guest houses, and a separate three-bedroom house on the grounds. In the main nine-bedroom residence, there's a media room where former owners, Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi were married. There's also a meditation room. When Ellen DeGeneres and Portia De Rossi put their Beverly Hills estate up for sale earlier this year for $49 million, Ryan Seacrest snagged up the mega-mansion (possibly with a friend-of-the-family discount!)
At the front entrance, giant palms, agave and other plantings, by Agua Landscape, provide a lush, welcoming atmosphere. “You feel like you’re at some kind of resort,” says Seacrest.“I went with rich, warm, deeper, more masculine colors throughout,” says Andrews, who was also careful to create a unique identity for each space. In the breakfast room, he used art and furnishings, such as high-back chairs, that match the proportions of the tall fireplace. The master suite “feels large, but it’s not, really,” says Andrews. “Jeff understood the feeling of peace I wanted to have,” says Seacrest.
Cher - $45 million
This $45 million home which is around 14,000 square feet, this Italian Renaissance-style Malibu home overlooks the Pacific Ocean. It also includes an infinity-edge pool. Every day when I wake up and look out my bedroom window, I’m never not amazed,” marvels Cher, staring out one of a myriad of arched windows that define her new house, an Italian Renaissance–style villa that sits high on a bluff, overlooking the Pacific Ocean.
“Every room has two views of the ocean, each of which is so beautiful—the water is always glistening, the sunset always happening. My house is so special because it’s my sanctuary, my fortress, really—the only place I have any privacy. There’s no place else that I would rather be.”
Coming from Cher, that says a lot. After all, the singer has turned out a hit—and a house—or two in her time. So when it came to putting together her 19th project with designer Ron Wilson, she knew what she wanted—and he, how to make it happen.
Will Smith & Jada Pinkett Smith - $42 million
A Hawaiian estate belonging to movie power-couple Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith has just sold for $12 million, according to a source familiar with the sale. The four-property estate—in Kilauea, a small town on the northeastern shore of Kauai, Hawaii—spans seven acres and is comprised of a three-bedroom main house, a two-bedroom guest house, a one-bedroom carriage house and a multi-purpose studio, according to public listings.
The two-story main house has two wood-burning fireplaces and extra high ceilings and doorways custom designed for the home’s former owner, former NBA star Kareem Abdul Jabbar. The seven-foot-two Hall of Famer had the main house built in 1986 and sold it to Mr. Smith and Ms. Pinkett-Smith in 2015, according to reports. It is not clear who the newest buyer of the property is.

Jerry Seinfeld - $32 million

The former Hollywood Hills home of comedian Jerry Seinfeld is one of four adjoining lots being shopped as a pocket listing with a total asking price of $40 million. Located in the Bird Streets, the property consists of four separate parcels that add up to nearly an acre of land.
Seller Leslie Peter Benzies, the lead developer for the video game series “Grand Theft Auto” and the former president of Rockstar North, intended to tear down the former Seinfeld home and guest house to build a 15,010-square-foot mansion and 6,100-square-foot guesthouse

The properties, located in North Haven and Bridgehampton and both represented by Enzo Morabito of Douglas Elliman, are less than 8 miles apart.
The Bridgehampton house first came up for sale in July 2016, asking $29.5 million. Brinkley gave PEOPLE a tour of the impressive compound, which is refreshingly unstuffy. Instead, the space is outfitted with personal trinkets and passion projects, like the fireplace she designed herself with stones “from the end of the beach,” she says.
