Celebrities are just like us, in that we all need somewhere to live. However, the similarities begin and end there. We hustle for the cheapest home loans, search for the funds to pay our mortgage closing costs, and prepare for years of monthly bond payments. They simply pay cash for multimillion dollar mansions.
It can be a form of masochism to look at home listings just out of reach, but seeing what celebrity homes are on the market is innocent fun. After all, you're probably never planning on spending ten million dollars or more on a home.
Here are some of the most expensive celebrity homes on the market in 2022.
Janet Jackson’s $9 Million Manhattan Condo
Let’s start at the ‘cheap’ end of the scale. Janet Jackson is selling her Manhattan condo for $9 million. Yes, that’s a condo we’re talking about. Coming in at around 2,100 square feet, it gets its value from the fact that it’s prime real estate. It is on the 34th floor of One Central Park West, which is attached to the Trump International Hotel and overlooks Central Park.
Janet Jackson originally bought the three-bedroom condo for $2.8 million back in 1998. She hasn’t been inside it in three years, though. If you splash the cash for this condo, you'll get the hotel’s amenities along with it.
Kanye West’s $11 Million Wyoming Ranch
If $9 million for a 2,100 square-foot condo sounds like a bad deal, you can pay an extra two million for a massive ranch. Kanye West’s Monster Lake Ranch spreads over 3,888 acres. It even has lakes entirely for trophy fishing, a go-kart track, in addition to all the facilities a regular ranch would have.
Of course, Cody, Wyoming does not have the same allure as Manhattan, which is why the ranch packs so much bang for buck. Still, when you can afford to travel by private jet, few places are too far out of the way.
The Osbourne’s $18 Million Manor
Let’s ramp things up a bit and get to the really expensive celebrity homes. Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne are moving out of L.A., finally returning to where it all started. While living in America, they've become two of the biggest celebrities in the world. Without The Osbournes, Keeping Up With The Kardashians would possibly never have happened. Ozzy and Sharon changed reality TV forever.
If you do end up buying their 11,565-square-foot, six-bedroom home, you can get a taste of how they lived during their time in the U.S. While they have other homes here, this one is their main residence.
The Weeknd’s $22.5 Million California Condo
If you're eager to live in California, you could get a manor for $18 million or a condo for $22.5 million. The latter seems like a bad deal, but The Weeknd’s home is luxurious and big for a condo. It takes up the whole 18th floor of the building, coming in at 7,950 square feet. It has two balconies with incredible views, a wine vault, a home gym, and an espresso bar.
The Weeknd is not selling because he needs the cash. Rather, he is leveling up, moving to Bel Air where a 33,000 square-foot mansion awaits. The price? Just over $70 million.
Tony Stewart’s $30 Million Luxury Log Cabin
A quick $7.5 million jump takes us to the most expensive log cabin that has ever existed. Racing legend Tony Stewart had this 20,000-square-foot home built on 415 acres of land in Columbus, Indiana. Don’t let the term ‘log cabin’ fool you. This home is every bit as excessive as any other listing here. It has a massive aquarium, a bowling alley, a golf simulator, and a gym. Add to that a two-story waterfall and a hunting preserve, and you've got one of the most elaborate homes in existence.
Joan Rivers’ $38 Million Penthouse Apartment
If you've kept up with celebrity news, you're unlikely to have missed that Joan Rivers has been dead for eight years. Her penthouse is not suddenly on the market after all this time. It was bought in 2014 by a royal family from the Middle East for $28 million. They're selling it for an extra ten million in 2022.
As the most expensive entry on this list, you're getting a combination of excess and location. It is only 5,200 square feet (plus additional outdoor terraces), which comes nowhere close to Tony Stewart’s 20,000 square-foot home. However, New York’s Upper East Side is far more coveted than any part of Indiana.
