Most Expensive Hollywood Homes: Photos of Celebrity Houses

A-list real estate! Celebrities like Kim Kardashian, Kylie Jenner, Taylor Swift and more spared no expense making their homes *exactly* as they wanted.

Take Kylie, for instance. The Kardashians star, who is nearly a billionaire, came into a lot of wealth at a very young age after creating Kylie Cosmetics when she was just a teenager. Along with building her cosmetics empire, she’s also been stockpiling her real estate portfolio.

In 2020, the Keeping Up With the Kardashians alum purchased a $36 million home in the exclusive Holmby Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles. The seven-bedroom, 14-bathroom home spans across 15,350 square feet.

Of course, her sprawling mansion is incredible in itself, but the reality star’s flare for interior design is what takes her houses to the next level.

“When it comes to decorating their homes, they spare no expense,” a source previously told Life & Style of the entire Kardashian-Jenner family. “Between filming their shows at home to entertaining and hosting parties at home and showing off their spaces on Instagram, they make sure that their homes are picture-perfect at all times.”

However, Kylie’s personal style, which “has a bit more edge” than the rest of her famous relatives, definitely shines in her home. To achieve her aesthetic dreams, the mom of two has worked with English interior designer Martyn Lawrence Bullard and his team, whose services cost “tens of thousands of dollars,” detailed the source.

Furnishing and decorating a house of that impressive size can be a real project, but even so, Kylie is interested in scooping up more properties in the future.

“She wants to continue to expand her portfolio — within California and in other states and countries,” a separate source revealed to Life & Style about the Life of Kylie alum. “She’s even considering buying a private island and turning it into a retreat so she can relax without being disturbed.”

Unlike Kylie’s super glamorous taste, sister Kim described her California home, which is stark white from the walls to the furniture, as a “minimal monastery” during an appearance on Vogue’s “73 Questions” in April 2019, prior to her divorce from Kanye West.

The former couple purchased the $20 million home in December 2014, just months after they got married. In 2018, they did a full renovation, upping the property value to $60 million. Talk about a flip!

The fact that she chose to have white furniture with a house full of four small children is not lost on Kim.

“Oh, my God. I run around the house with towels,” the Skims founder told Architectural Digest in January 2018. “You do have to just take a deep breath and say, ‘OK, it’s going to happen. We decided to have lighter colors.’”

Kim Kardashian

While Kim loves her white-on-white aesthetic, she admitted that her daughter North West does not feel the same.
“Every time I get into some kind of disagreement with my daughter North, she thinks this is a dig to me, and she’ll say, ‘Your house is so ugly. It’s all white. Who lives like this?,’” the Skims founder said during an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in October 2021. “She just thinks it, like, gets to me, and it is kind of mean because I like my house.”

The Weeknd

The “Starboy” singer dropped $70 million on a 33,000-square-foot Bel Air mansion in August 2021, Architectural Digest reported. At the time, the deal was one of the most expensive real estate sales that took place in Los Angeles that year. The sprawling home has an infinity pool, waterfall, music studio, movie theater and gym.

Ellen DeGeneres

In February 2022, the talk show host spent a whopping $21 million on a home in Montecito, California. The 12,000-square-foot home sat on the market for nearly three years, Dirt reported, but the abode, which was modeled after the Alhambra palace in Granada, Spain, caught the eye of Ellen and her wife, Portia de Rossi.

Taylor Swift

The songstress loves her Rhode Island home, once called Holiday House, that it served as the theme for her song “The Last Great American Dynasty.”
The $17.75 million mansion, which boasts eight bedrooms and eight fireplaces, is the most expensive private home in the state and features 700 feet of shoreline.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have previously made comments about thinking it “wasn’t possible” to buy their Montecito home after stepping away from the royal family, but they did manage to purchase it in 2020.
Although royal biographer Tina Brown called the couple’s California abode a “humble cottage” compared to their neighbors, the $14 million estate is nothing to scoff at.
