Being a celebrity today means much more than acting or singing. Thanks to a media-obsessed culture, we expect our stars to entertain us 24/7, putting their money towards luxuries like clothes, cars, and especially, luxury real estate. While millions of Americans struggle with monthly home mortgage payments, these celebs sometimes buy and sell properties without ever having settled down in them. From the tasteful to the outrageously tacky, here is our look at some of the most lavish celebrity homes — some of which are even available, in case you qualify for a massive home loan!

Sean Connery: ~ $1.9 Million, Ireland

James Bond himself, actor Sean Connery may have been a true-blue proud Scotsman and it was the Irish countryside he fell in love with when he visited. So enamored he was that he bought himself a 6 bedroom mansion here which was built all the way back in 1868! Called the Violet Hill House, it stands in the middle of a 3.5 acre plot which is surrounded by trees and greenery. The interiors are pretty much where you would expect James Bond to retire, as it’s filled with various antique pieces such as paintings, rugs and art from all over the world. In fact, 750 of these pieces were auctioned off when the house was put on sale a couple of years ago.

Laurene Powell – $16.5 Million, San Francisco

Laurene Powell, the billionaire business mogul, invested a massive $16.5 million in one of the most luxurious mansions in San Francisco. Given her net worth, it’s not a huge investment, but her choice for a living space is truly incredible. The house has a modern design, boasting finely detailed pieces that, on its own, are worth thousands of dollars!

The property brags a huge living space of 6,000 sq.ft, which is beautifully structured into a contemporary styled living room area, airy lounges, and six bedrooms and bathrooms! And to seal the deal, the place has implausible panoramic views of the city and the endless blue sky above.

Jennifer Garner – $13 Million, Pacific Palisades

Jennifer Garner has come a long way from her birthplace in Houston. She capitulated fame with her lead role in a 2001 hit television series ‘Alias,’ and eventually accumulate a net worth of $80 million. Now, she lives in a traditional, gorgeous white-shingled home in the Pacific Palisades Los Angeles.

Her spacious three-story property has six bedrooms and all the essentials. Garner loves to spend most of her time in the kitchen, from where she runs her hilarious video cooking series ‘The Pretend Cooking Show’ on her Instagram. We hope she is making the best use of her large backyard also, as claims to be a farm girl.
