Britney Spears: $8.5 Million
Celebrities, they’re just like us, right? … except they live in homes that are twice (or ten times!) the size of ours and certainly many multiples more expensive. From Insane Malibu beach pads to New York City penthouses, these stars have recently revealed some of the most beautiful and expensive homes in the world. Take Kim Kardashian and Kanye West for example – the couple, who recently welcomed their second child in late 2015, bought a $10.75 million home in Los Angeles. But that’s not enough because they are planning on renovating the house at an estimated cost of $5 million.
And speaking of renovations, have you seen Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi’s Hidden Valley, Calif., ranch? It was just featured in Elle Decor’s May issue — and it’s INCREDIBLE. But we have to be honest, Reese Witherspoon’s Ojai, Calif., estate gives Ellen and Portia a run for their money. Continue on to view the amazing photo gallery in which we rank the least expensive ($8,500,000) mansions to the most ($145,000,000). But don’t let that fool you, none of these are what we would consider “least expensive”…
