Daniel Radcliffe – Soho

Daniel Radcliffe is the proud owner of this spectacular residence in Soho. It is a great place to settle down and make memories because of its great location and many features. For a mere $19K a month, you can rent this beauty. It cost Radcliffe £3.12 million to acquire this gem, and it was worth it.

The house spans 1843 square meters and has two bedrooms with two and a half bathrooms. Between a dining room with no windows and a living room with windows, all the way up to the ceiling, is a galley-style kitchen. Imagine living in this luxurious abode, surrounded by all the modern amenities.

Emma Watson – France

At 18 years old, Emma Watson was already an A-list superstar. After scoring straight As in her A-Levels, she decided to treat herself and splurged $1.2 million on a ski chalet in France. Not only that, but the actress also spent a fortune on furniture and renovations to the property.

It wasn't just a lavish purchase; it was also a birthday present for herself. It's reported that her tight schedule didn't give her enough time to celebrate her birthday, so she decided to get herself a unique present—her own ski chalet. How apt for a rising star like Watson!

Eve Hewson – New York

For a decade, New York City was Eve Hewson's home; the renowned actress and music icon Bono's daughter made the Big Apple her abode and resided in a double-story penthouse with stunning views of Central Park, costing her parents £10.8 million. However, when the pandemic struck, Hewson moved back to Dublin and the family mansion.

This luxurious abode was later given an upgrade and it now boasts a pool, an indoor plant room, and a newly constructed corridor connecting the main house to a smaller one. This estate is just as awe-inspiring as the penthouse in NYC, and Hewson is certainly proud to call Dublin her home.

Ewan McGregor – Hollywood

The Hollywood Hills have long been home to the stars, and the Brentwood neighborhood is no exception. It's here that Ewan McGregor resides in a multi-million-pound mansion, purchased for a cool £1.4 million. Over the years, he has carefully added designer touches to it, which has sent the price soaring to a whopping £3.9 million.

And to add to the glamor of it all, his property lies adjacent to Marilyn Monroe's former abode - what a wow factor! When he's not in Los Angeles, he is based out of his London home. So really, this "Star Wars" icon is living the best of both worlds.

Fiona Bruce – London

Fiona Bruce, the beloved British TV presenter and journalist, has made her home in a luxurious two-story Victorian mansion in Hampstead, London. Although the size of the house may not be as grand as some of her celebrity counterparts, its £2.1 million price tag makes it quite the showstopper.

This gorgeous property boasts a white awning and a lush garden that serves as a refuge and oasis for Bruce and her family. Not only does she reside in this house, but she also owns two other properties in Belsize Park and Sydenham. The house is certainly a testament to her hard work and success.

Gemma Ward – Byron Bay

At just 15 years old, Gemma Ward had already accomplished something most models only dream of - gracing the cover of Vogue. A few years later, she was named by Vogue Paris as one of the top 30 models of the 2000s. This incredible achievement is made even more impressive when you consider that she was up against some of the most experienced and seasoned models in the industry.

Her success earned her and her boyfriend, David Letts, a luxury home in the celebrity-filled beachside town of Byron Bay. It's no surprise that the likes of Chris Hemsworth and Matt Damon choose this beautiful location as their home away from home.

George Michael – London

The grandiose estate of the beloved George Michael was home to him and his partner Kenny Ross for many years. Here, the multi-award-winning singer-songwriter hosted the most exquisite of parties for his closest friends and family, and it wasn’t long before the estate gained a reputation as an A-list hangout

Sadly, after Michael’s passing, the house was sold in 2020 - but it turns out the new owner is a medical professional who just so happens to be a huge fan of the singer! It’s evident that this £7 million property has many more chapters to its story and magical memories yet to be made.

David Bowie – New York

This majestic apartment, overlooking the iconic Central Park, was once the late David Bowie's home with his wife, Iman. It was listed for a staggering £4.71 million–and there's a good reason why. Not only is the house itself beautiful, but the piano owned by the late musician is also still part of this incredible property.

For those who are lucky enough to be the new owners, you will find three bedrooms–with two of them being master-sized and the bathrooms crafted with custom limestone, marble and porcelain. The living room is particularly impressive, as it has been measured at an astounding 28 feet wide!

Ed Sheeran – London

Ed Sheeran has definitely found his Shangri-La in this £3.7 million estate located in Suffolk. From the moment he set foot in this extravagant abode, he knew he had found a place he could call home.

With so many luxurious amenities such as a lake, a chapel, a pub, and an underground music room, it is no wonder it has earned the nickname of Sheeran-Ville. But what really takes the cake is the treehouse, with its living room, study, four-car garage, and separate TV room, it's no wonder Sheeran loves to spend most of his time here with his family.

Elin Nordegren – Palm Beach

After selling her exquisite mansion for a whopping $28.6 million, it's no wonder Elin Nordegren was able to acquire this monumental abode in Palm Beach for a mere $9.9 million. That may seem like a lot, but wait until you hear what it contains. Perched on two acres of land, this house was constructed in 2010 and has a whopping six bedrooms, with 16,841 square feet of space.

Of that, a whopping 13,504 square feet is air-conditioned, making this the epitome of luxury and comfort. With such a grandiose estate, it's no surprise Nordegren was able to snag it for the price she did.

Elton John – Los Angeles

Venturing into the home of Elton John, you can easily tell why it's his favorite among the four houses that he owns. From the minute you step in, you feel the energy of the superstar's creative touch. The living room is a vibrant mix of colors and bold prints, while the dining room is a charming blend of baroque-style chairs and glass vases suspended from the ceiling.

Even the swimming pool area, with its concrete-lined design, is tastefully adorned with matching patio furniture. This place is where the singer-songwriter and his family spend the most time, and it's easy to see why.

Emma Thompson – London

Emma Thompson is a globally renowned actress and her private life is as mysterious as her talent. Few details are known regarding her multiple European properties, but her London home is the most talked about. It's the one place where she's frequently seen coming and going with her husband, which implies that it might just be her favorite.

The house is a sight to behold with its striking brick-layered walls, white arches, and windows that make it stand out. We can only hope that one day Thompson will give us a chance to catch a glimpse of her gorgeous home and its luxurious amenities.

John Cleese – Montecito

John Cleese is no stranger to moving around and exploring new places. One of his ventures brought him to Montecito, and the house he left behind is one to marvel over. Situated in a private cove on Fernald Point, the residence is a beach-view dream come true.

Every room boasts stunning skylights, beamed ceilings, and white walls that open up to the beautiful beach beneath. The house is now on the market for a hefty price, but the memories that linger in its walls are priceless. Cleese is now off on a new venture and looks forward to settling down in Dubai for the foreseeable future.

Hugh Laurie – London

Hugh Laurie, the multi-award-winning actor of Doctor House fame, has made quite the fortune over the years. As a result, he has been able to purchase two beautiful homes. His main abode is nestled in London, and is estimated to be worth about £2 million.

However, he also owns a house in the Hollywood Hills, which he acquired for around the same amount in 2008. But with his beloved wife living in London, Laurie doesn’t spend as much time in his second property as one might think. The two of them are content to remain in the English capital, where life has been good to them.

Idris Elba – London

Idris Elba–the multi-talented actor, writer, producer, and now DJ–is one of the most iconic figures in Hollywood and he's found the perfect place to call home in London. His Grade-II listed house, worth £2.5 million, is where he's been born and raised and it's where he finds true peace.

Although we haven't had a full tour of his house yet, Elba has let us get a glimpse of its beautiful surroundings through home videos and live streams on social media. And he's not done yet–he's planning on expanding his house and converting the underground level into a modern film and music studio. 

Daniel Craig – Brooklyn

If you ever wondered where the infamous James Bond laid his head, the answer is finally here. Daniel Craig, the actor playing the iconic character, opted to settle in a brownstone manor nestled in the suburbs of Brooklyn.

The impressive five-story house was initially owned by Martin Amis and his wife, but they had to let it go when Craig and his wife coughed up a price of £4.89 million. It's easy to understand why the price was so high, as the house has a whopping 6600 square feet, with high ceilings, six bedrooms, 5½ bathrooms, a garden, a patio, and a roof deck.

Andrew Garfield – Beverly Hills

Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone had a plan to nurture their love forever when they purchased the £1.8 million Beverly Hills home in 2012–a home that once belonged to actor Dudley Moore. But, as fate had it, the couple's relationship was not meant to be and it was time to part ways in 2015.

This home that once held so much promise of everlasting love was put on the market for others to enjoy. The 3,862 sq. ft abode boasted four bedrooms, each with its own fireplace, along with a spacious kitchen with dark wood floors. The family room converted into a personal gym and a vast pool.

Bernie Taupin – Santa Barbara

Bernie Taupin's Roundup Valley Ranch is a paradise that puts a smile on the face of the famous lyricist. With 30 acres of hacienda-style living, it is more than a place to call home–it is a place to create. His own little Candy Store, it has become a source of inspiration for some of his most beloved songs.

For the amount of £3.4 million, one could own this haven of a ranch with its 5000 sq ft of living space, vaulted ceilings, a guest studio, an outdoor riding ring and a state-of-the-art equestrian center. And of course the dream kitchen, complete with a pizza oven.

Lily Collins' Beverly Hills estate will take your breath away! Just like her exceptional acting roles, she certainly does have an exceptional taste in real estate. The mid-century modern home, which dates back to 1954, boasts four bedrooms and five bathrooms and is surrounded by lush gardens.

The British-American actress' stunning £9.7 million property is a mix of vintage and modern style, with luxurious features that she has been in love with since 2016. The "Emily in Paris" star is undoubtedly one of the luckiest people in Hollywood to have such a beautiful abode. From its grand entrance to its excellent interiors, this mansion is definitely worth a visit. 

Louis Tomlinson – Hollywood Hills

Louis Tomlinson's star has been rising ever since he first stepped onto the stage as part of the sensational band One Direction. Although the band has since split and gone their separate ways, Tomlinson still lives the life of a celebrity, having splashed out a staggering £5.3 million on a magnificent 6,000-square-foot mansion in the heart of Los Angeles.

The Mediterranean-style property is a sight to behold, featuring five bathrooms, four bedrooms, and dark hardwood floors. Not only is there a state-of-the-art kitchen and a wine cellar, but it also boasts a screening room and an infinity-edge pool and spa that make it the envy of the neighborhood.

Ralph Fiennes – Manhattan

Ralph Fiennes has become a household name as a magnetic actor, known for his unforgettable roles as antagonists in blockbuster movies. His impressive portfolio of films has made him a wealthy man, affording him the ability to invest in several luxurious properties.

Not only does he own a home in London, but he also purchased a farmhouse in the Italian countryside and a 1,220-square-foot apartment in Manhattan, New York. Talk about splurging–he invested a whopping £1.6 million in the pre-war building with an elevator. His vast real estate portfolio is a testament to his success in the film industry!

Richard Madden – California

The world became acquainted with Richard Madden when he first graced the screen at the young age of 11. Over the years, he has become a star in his own right, captivating audiences with his performance in the HBO fantasy drama "Game of Thrones," and later winning a Golden Globe for his performance in "Bodyguard."

Amidst his newfound fame, there is one thing that remains a mystery - where does he call home? Last heard, the star had moved into Emilia Clarke's California pad. Is he staying rent-free in the exquisite two-bedroom apartment, or is he shelling out the whopping £20K a month, since Emilia usually lets out the property?

Rod Stewart – Harlow

As a longstanding musical icon, Rod Stewart has earned his throne, both in the music industry and in his 18th-century castle. Sitting atop 46 acres, Durrington House is a 10-bedroom palace that cost £4.7 million. The estate features an indoor pool, four guest cottages, and a walled garden for the perfect afternoon of croquet.

But for the die-hard Celtic fan, Stewart was determined to make his home complete, so he built a football pitch for himself. Showing us all how to live like royalty, Stewart and his wife enjoy the luxuries of Durrington House, a testament to the exquisite taste of the legendary singer.

Rowan Atkinson – Oxfordshire

John Reid – London

John Reid, the music manager who has managed superstars like Elton John and Queen, has been keeping a low profile for some time now. His former life of grandeur, including owning numerous houses and an incredible art collection, is a distant memory. His most impressive house, built in 1911, embodied Edwardian architecture close to London.

However, after his split with Elton John, he sold off almost everything and vanished from the showbiz scene. It's uncertain if Reid will ever make a comeback to the music industry, but the world is watching and waiting to see what this mover and shaker will do next.
