Novak Djokovic - $15 Million, Miami

The Oscar-winning and adorably clumsy actress got herself a treat as a reward for her success. It is a “modest” private home worth $8 million that perfectly fits in with the natural ambiance. Previously, it was owned by Jessica Simpson, but now the comfy, luxurious 5,500 square-foot home belongs to Lawrence, and she deserves it.

Welcome to the ultimate glass house estate where the young Bieber lives. The property features everything he needs and more, and Biebs rents this spacious ultra-modern structure for $60,000 a month.

Rihanna - $22 Million, Barbados
The Barbados princess bought herself a castle on her home island, with a gorgeous and stunning view of the Caribbean Sea. Bad Girl RiRi enjoys her home in Shakespearean-novel-style when she gets home to Barbados to recharge her batteries. She keeps a 24/7 security service, of course.
Oprah Winfrey - $50 Million, California
Oprah is one of the icons that rose from poverty to a multi-billion dollar net worth, with her talk show and TV career. Her wealth is also reflected in her $50-million home surrounded by green plantations. The gigantic 23,000-square-foot property resembles a fortress, and we can only imagine how high the home insurance cost must be.
John Krasinski & Emily Blunt - $6 Million, Brooklyn

Tom Selleck - Sum Undisclosed, Bay Ridge
Tom Selleck is often seen on this property, but he does not own the place. The house is actually featured on the hit TV show Blue Bloods, in which Selleck stars as the NYPD Commissioner Frank Reagan, who is shown to own the house as well as often have dinner with his family in the dining room. We have seen the interior enough times to fall in love with the place, which sits on 82nd Street corner in Bay Ridge, New York.
Chris O'Donnell - $5.395 Million, Pacific Palisades
NCIS: Los Angeles star Chris O'Donnell has been living in style in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood of Los Angeles for the past many years with his family, and although the house was built in 2000, it still looks brand-new. This Los Angeles luxury real estate was worth $5.395 million in 2008, although obviously, it must've appreciated in value over the years. If no major modifications have been made to the house, then what we are looking at is a 5,195-square-foot of living space with five bedrooms.
Prince Harry & Meghan Markle - Priceless, Kensington Palace
Now that Prince Harry and former actress-turned-Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle are officially a married couple, they surely have to live near the Queen. Actually, the couple has been staying at the Nottingham Cottage long before their wedding happened. The exact worth of the property remains undisclosed but we're sure it wasn't cheap to build. Kate Middleton and Prince William were also able to reside at the Nottingham Cottage at some point.

She once purchased a property in the Hamptons worth $2.5 million and she later decided to invest in a number of renovations.

The seven-bedroom home has a heated pool, family room, and wrap-around porch.
Cher - $41 Million, Malibu
Cher's home in Malibu is just 1.7 acres of pure luxury. The property is an architectural wonder, and the Italian Renaissance-style mansion in it is even more beautiful. It actually features many furniture pieces and décor elements from other countries, such as Mexican fireplaces, Moroccan rugs, and chandeliers which resemble Gothic decoration. It was first listed in 2009 for $45 million, and then re-listed in 2013 for $41 million. We don't know if anyone bought it yet, but there had been rumors that Jay-Z and Beyoncé had grabbed it.

Wow, when we look at this house (or resort), we are not sure if Drake is living here or is on vacation. It truly looks like a piece of paradise and Drake paid just $7.7 million for it, even if it was initially set at $27 million. Home insurance is mandatory when you live like this.
Tiger Woods - $60 Million, Florida
Tiger decided it was enough with the criticism and public humiliations, so he bought himself a vast property in Florida after his divorce was finalized. Besides a golf course, the Jupiter Island Mansion has a built-in gym, running tracks, and pools. When it is already so glorious on the outside, just imagine the inside. Tiger’s bank account seems to be undrainable since he could afford a $60-million mini-island after his wife’s divorce lawyer had ripped him off.
Miley Cyrus - $2.5 Million, Malibu
Miley can also not resist beautiful real estate, so she often grabs her checkbook to add one more to her ownership. Her latest acquisition is worth $2.5 million, and it is surrounded by a lot of green which makes it the perfect peaceful resort. Besides the four bedrooms, Miley has also got a cook’s kitchen, Jacuzzi, heated stone floor, and so much more, but no mortgage that will haunt her.

One of the biggest eye-catchers in the Hollywood Hills is this splendid Murphy house and estate that became a vacation resort.

No mortgage, no loans, just a casual check for all the efforts.

These two lovebirds are made for each other. The ultimate supermodel and ultimate football player bought a fancy castle-like home for themselves.

Hilfiger does not only like his creations to look inspiring, but also his home in Florida. Art pieces and memorabilia are found all over his 14,079-square-foot estate. He also has a Mickey Mouse room, four entertainment rooms (including a gym and game room), as well as seven regular bedrooms. Tommy is so rich that he needn’t consult his bank for a loan.
Meg Ryan - $10.9 Million, Soho
The most extravagant-looking apartment is Meg’s in Soho. The heavy, classic style of black and white makes the place look like everything is in concordance and harmony. She redecorated it nine times so far, and we wonder if Ryan secretly wanted to become an interior designer?
Keira Knightley - $6 Million, New York
Manhattan became so expensive that ordinary mortals with mortgage and loan requests could not afford to live there, but Keira is no ordinary girl. The actress bought a two-floor apartment in fancy Tribeca which is romantically decorated with wooden floors and a slight touch of bohemianism.
Jeff Franklin - $4 Million, San Francisco
The house featured in the 1990s sitcom Full House was bought by the creator of the show, Franklin. The house does have emotional value and giving out $4 million for the San Francisco house must have been a bargain for Franklin. He restored it to look like how it was in the 1990s.

Three walk-in closets are also to be found which are a necessity considering her huge clothes and shoe collections.
Lea Michele - $3.3 Million, Los Angeles
This piece of heaven can be found in West L.A., and it is not a resort, but the very own home of Lea. It looks like a great place to recharge one's batteries in the open and spacious rooms like the dining room. And, of course, an LA villa would be nothing without a pool. Lea’s precious home was in InStyle's Home & Design.

Jared Leto - $2 Million, Hollywood Hills
Jared chose probably the most private house in LA as no one else lives on his street. His 2-storey crib is convenient for all types of events - from wild parties to nice dinners with friends.

Even if she has not often been seen onscreen recently, she still has a net worth of $23 million.
Jane Fonda - $13 Million, Beverly Hills
Fonda knows how to spend her hard-earned money right. Her gigantic mansion has got everything the heart desires from an XXL walk-in closet to a glass elevator.

Britney Spears - $9 Million, California
Miss Spears is not called the Princess of Pop for nothing. When she was ruling the pop stage over a decade ago, she managed to save up something on her bank account.
