Kylie Jenner acquired this ultra-modern estate in Los Angeles in 2020. The 19,000-square-foot property features seven bedrooms, 14 bathrooms, a chef’s kitchen, home theater, and a resort-style pool.

It’s also very close to the infamous “freak off” mansion owned by Sean “Diddy” Combs’, which is currently listed for $61.5 million.

In 2001, Oprah Winfrey purchased her 70-acre estate in Montecito, California, known as “The Promised Land,” for approximately $50 million. The estate features a neo-Georgian mansion, rose gardens, and ocean views.

The property is valued at more than $90 million today.

In 2012, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt purchased Château Miraval in Correns, France, for approximately $60 million. The 1,200-acre estate includes a 35-room mansion, a working vineyard, olive groves, and a private lake.

In May 2023, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck purchased a 46,000-square-foot mansion in Beverly Hills for $60.8 million. The estate includes 12 bedrooms, 24 bathrooms, an indoor sports complex, and a zero-edge pool.

However, the couple divorced in January 2025, and are currently trying to sell the property for around the same amount that they paid for it.

Bill Gates’ Medina, Washington, estate, known as “Xanadu 2.0,” was completed around 2005. The 66,000-square-foot mansion includes a high-tech library, an artificial stream stocked with fish, a trampoline room, and a 60-foot swimming pool with underwater music.

The compound was valued in 2017 at around $127 million, and then again in 2021 at over $150 million.

In 2022, Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi acquired a $70 million compound in Carpinteria, California. The estate comprises two properties with ocean views and private beach access.

Only two years later, the TV host sold the compound for $96 million.

In August 2021, The Weeknd purchased a 33,000-square-foot mansion in Bel-Air for $70 million. The estate features nine bedrooms, indoor and outdoor pools, a music studio, gym, movie theater, and a hammam.

He sold his previous home to Madonna before moving in here in 2021.

In 2017, Jay-Z and Beyonce acquired a 30,000-square-foot mansion in Bel-Air for $88 million. The estate comprises six structures, including a main house, four outdoor swimming pools, a spa and wellness center, and a full-sized basketball court.

The home is also reportedly protected by entirely bulletproof windows. However, they have since surpassed this purchase – see number one on the list for their most-expensive home.

Drake’s custom-built mansion in Toronto, dubbed “The Embassy,” was completed in 2020. The 50,000-square-foot estate features a regulation-size basketball court, a 4,000-pound chandelier, an indoor pool, and a music studio.

In total, it cost an estimated $100 million to complete the construction.

In May 2023, Jay-Z and Beyoncé purchased a 40,000-square-foot mansion in Malibu for $200 million, setting a new record for the most expensive home ever sold in California.

The estate, designed by renowned Japanese architect Tadao Ando, sits on an 8-acre bluff in Malibu’s Paradise Cove and features minimalist concrete design, expansive ocean views, a private beach, and an infinity pool.
