Have a look at some of the most expensive homes owned by television show hosts, TV personalities, and news anchors! We often look at actors, actresses, singers, and the entertainers, but they’re not the only people with the money to splurge on lavish homes – and sometimes, many houses at a time! Here we have plenty of homes that have been bought and then sold by high-earning personalities, and we have a look at their houses’ asking prices, selling prices, and how much they were bought for. There are some celebs who have their head screwed on right – but some made some poor decisions that we could all learn from!
Jimmy Kimmel – $8 Million, Los Angeles
Tucked in Los Angeles, in a glorious laid-back but tightly packed neighborhood called kellyHermosa Beach is a plain 2,110-square-foot home that’s been bought for $8 million by Jimmy Kimmel and Molly McNearny, his second wife. Well, both have been long-time fans of Hermosa, but still, it seems like quite a lot to put down for a relatively small home (in comparison to others on the list, but large for Hermosa) . This is the Kimmels’ third buy in the area. The transaction was done privately, off-market, in January 2017. The original date of construction is 1940, but we suspect plenty of home remodeling has been undertaken.
Jesse Watters – $577K, Long Island
While Jesse Watters was still married to his wife, Noelle Watters, they had bought a home together in Long Island, the area in which he has lived for most of his life. By paying $577,000 they were able to acquire this beautiful three-story brick house to raise their family. Unfortunately, Jesse’s divorce was made public in 2018, due to his infidelity, after becoming involved with a 25-year-old co-worker of his. He maintains a good relationship with his children and continues to host Watter’s World and also co-hosts The Five.
Vanna White – $47.5 Million, Beverly Hills
At the end of 2017, a cool mansion once owned by Vanna White took to the market with a hefty price tag of $47.5 million. The Wheel of Fortune hostess didn’t purchase the home as it was as she actually had the house built for her, and so was born the Tuscan-style Beverley Park home in the early 1990s. In 2002, Vanna White divorced George Santro Pietro, and so White moved, and it was reported that her ex-husband rented the home out for $150K to $175K monthly. Upon entering the house, there is an overwhelming grandeur with floor-to-ceiling French doors and soaring ceilings that lift the eyes to the heavens!
Mellody Hobson – $33.9 Million, Los Angeles
American businesswoman Mellody Hobson is the president of Ariel Investments and the wife of the creator of Star Wars, George Lucas. Lucas purchased a pedigreed estate in Bel Air for an outrageous price of $33.9 million, in an off-the-market deal. In March 2013, the place was purchased for $18 million. The home sits on 10,000 square feet of land and is a Spanish villa constructed in 1929, and of course, renovated. The home has nine bedrooms, with eight bathrooms. The residence is so special that it even has its own name – ‘Mi Patria.’
Dick Cavett – $62 Million, Montuak
Iconic talk show host and comedian Dick Cavett has been around for many decades now and therefore it does not come as a surprise when you see the gorgeous mansion he lives in with his wife Martha Rogers. The gigantic mansion in Montauk was put on the market by Dick in 2017 but could not find any buyers. The property is over 7000-sq-feet and has more than 8 bedrooms. We hope at the age of 82, the legendary host is enjoying his life in his super comfortable house.
Carl Quintanilla – $3 Million, Bridgehampton
Carl Quintanilla is an Emmy Award-winning CNBC anchor, married to the former producer for MSNBC and CNBC, Judy Chung . Chung is now a design manager for Ralph Lauren. The couple bought themselves a place in Bridgehampton, located in Barn Lane. The $3-million property is a part of the prestigious development by the name of Barn & Vine , and the 4,200-square-foot house is custom-built with a gunite pool and lush landscaping. The seven-bedroom home features vaulted ceilings for an extra element of luxury. As of 2018, Carl Quintanilla is worth $3 million – about as much as his house!
Rachel Maddow – $1.25 Million, Manhattan
Rachel Maddow, MSNBC host, and her partner by the name of Susan Mikula are buyers of a Manhattan apartment that is actually two units combined. The deal was closed for a good $1.25 million, later carrying a selling price $75K higher than when it was placed on the market. The two-bedroom apartment is described as bright and airy, with original hardwood floors and 10-foot ceilings. It sure does sound dreamy! Maddow has a weekend getaway in Massachusetts, too, and she made sure not to put in a television so as to be technology-free!
Dan Abrams – $8.799 Million, New York City
Dan Abrams is the owner of a triplex apartment that was up for sale with a market price of $8.799 million. The apartment feels like a freestanding townhouse since other residents’ entry is through a separate building. The residence boasts the amenities likened to that of a condo. Abrams decided to sell because he wanted to be nearer to his offices, which are situated uptown. The house sports a beautiful 900-square-foot back garden. The American entrepreneur is also an author, with a new book release around the corner (2019) titled, Theodore Roosevelt for the Defense.
Emeril Lagasse – $1.45 Million, Florida
This home first entered the market in 2013, for an initial asking price of $1.625 million. After several price chops, the asking price for the home dropped to $1,45 million. The home is 6,700 square feet with 1,000 square feet dedicated to the kitchen – quite the dream kitchen for a chef or simply anybody with a flair for cooking! However, the home is in a reasonably decent area in New Orleans, and while it may not be as flashy as the other homes on this list, we’re still wondering why it won’t sell! This one sure has real estate agents stumped, alright!
Jake Tapper – $1.4 Million, Washington
Jake Tapper’s Washington home, one that he purchased in 2007 for almost $1,25 million, was sold for $1.4 million. The four-bedroom house spanned 2,930 square feet and was nestled in the aptly named Forest Hills, a wooded cul-de-sac, in a lovely neighborhood. The home is stylishly designed with a porch extending the full extent of the house. It is a four-story residence with marble counter-topped kitchen, two family bedrooms, a study that doubles as a guest room, and glass sliding doors that lead to a beautifully-terraced backyard. Mid-2017, Tapper’s weight loss was in the spotlight, through cardio and strength training inspired by Paul Rudd.
Nancy Snyderman – $2.5 Million, New Jersey
Nancy Snyderman is a former NBC chief medical editor, and she’s been trying to sell the estate she owns in Princeton since 2016, for $2.5 million. It is situated on more than two acres of rolling land and is recently remodeled, with comfortable living areas and a richly finished home décor. Snyderman was met with controversy when she violated a voluntary quarantine – upon her return from West Africa in 2014, a region infested with Ebola; she was spotted outside a restaurant in New Jersey. The entire scandal led to Nancy leaving NBC as well, all in 2015.
Cameron Mathison – $3.3 Million, New York
Cameron Mathison bought a $1.2-million designer home with his wife, Vanessa Arevalo, in 2004. The house was finished by the couple to generate the ‘vibe’ they were after, and it ended up being a contemporary and classic mix. In 2009, the actor revealed that he had thought he would never relocate, but things changed when the TV show studio moved to Los Angeles. That same year, the couple had to list their beloved four-story home. The original asking price was $2.7 million, but by 2011, they dropped the price to $2.5 million. Since there were still no buyers, they rented the home out for $6.9K a month. It eventually sold for $3.3 million.
Howard Stern – $52 Million, Palm Beach
A private property sale was recorded for a $52-million oceanfront home, sold by Martin Trust, an apparel executive, and his wife, Diane. It belonged to Howard Stern. Stern is the host of The Howard Stern Show and his name is added to the list of celebrities who own houses in Palm Beach. For the County Road property, Stern and his wife were knocked by taxes to the value of $903.5K! The Palm Beach house was finished in 1992, and in the 2012 tax rolls, it had a total market value equating to $40.8 million! And to think that it was bought in 1986 for $4.58 million! Talk about excellent investments!
Al Roker – $1.5 Million, Manhattan
Al Roker is married to Deborah Roberts of ABC News and the couple resides in a five-floor brownstone home with their two teenage kids and their family pet in Manhattan. The couple bought the home in 2011. The warm color scheme flowing in one of the rooms is intended to remind Al and his wife of their honeymoon in France. Roker is responsible for the design of the kitchen and he admitted that it is the most important room for him in the entire home. It is very much a family space, with pictures of the children, and frames of their artwork hanging on the walls.
Pat Sajak – $705K, Los Angeles County
Pat Sajak’s Glendale home hit the market for $705K in November of 2011, putting $6K extra in Sajak’s pocket, as it first sported an asking price of $699K. The home is a craftsman style deluxe house of four bedrooms and the home is a modest 2,388 square feet on a quarter of an acre’s worth of land. The home is very old, a piece of history, really, as it was built in 1911. Records show it was initially a three-bedroom home with just one bathroom, so Sajak spent some time and cash on improvements.
Amanda Holden – Undisclosed Price, Surrey
Over the years that Amanda Holden’s been active on Social Media, we’ve been getting glimpses of her beautiful house in Surrey. The house was built in the ‘30s, but she and Chris Hughes only bought it in 2015. They’ve been seeing their two beautiful daughters grow up in it ever since. Amanda’s not just a judge on Britain’s Got Talent, but she also has a fascination for interior design. She’s even been working on her house’s renovation ever since their purchase! Today, the house looks beautiful, with a large garden and floor-to-ceiling windows.

There is also a formal dining room, French doors, a chef’s kitchen, and numerous amenities. Michael’s lavish residence also features a theater with leather seating for 20 people as well as a game room and a home gym. And if he doesn’t want to take the stairs, he can always use the elevator!
Kelly Ripa – $27 Million, Upper East Side
Kelly Ripa is sitting with a value of $120 million to her name and earning a salary of $22 million helps her afford any luxury her heart desires. So it comes as no surprise that she owns three luxurious homes. Ripa has a home in Colorado, New York City, and in the Hamptons. Ripa’s New York City home is in SoHo in Manhattan, covering 6,700 square feet and setting her back by $9 million in 2005. Ripa and her husband Mark Consuelos moved from their $24.5-million penthouse and into their $27-million townhouse and the penthouse sold in 2014. The couple lives with their three children.
Megyn Kelly – $640K, Virginia
Over the last many years, Megyn Kelly has been through several homes – but we are talking decades. As reported by the Daily Mail , Kelly lived in a posh townhouse with her then-husband, Dan Kendall, in Virginia, in an upper-class suburb. The house was valued at $640K and after their eventual separation, would you believe that Kelly moved only down the road, roughly 200 yards away – apparently so they could be close! That’s a very amicable divorce right there! In October of 2018, Kelly was actually fired by the NBC owing to some comments she’d made on ‘blackface’. On the plus side, they still paid her the rest of her $69-million income!
Laura Ingraham – Price Unknown, McLean, Virginia
Laura Ingraham is known for being a conservative American TV and radio host. She’s very in tune with Republican ideals, and she even worked as a speechwriter for Ronald Reagan back in the ‘80s. But Ingraham is also extremely rich! Her newly-constructed home in McLean, Virginia, is yet another display of just how well Laura is doing in life, with an annual salary of $15 million and a total fortune standing at around $70 million. Laura will probably never have to deal with the stress of not being able to pay her financial obligations. There’s no available information regarding the actual price of this stunning property, but we’re definitely talking millions.
Oprah Winfrey – $165 Million, Montecito
Media mogul and philanthropist, Oprah Winfrey, could just as well be considered a real estate tycoon by our standards! Winfrey owns lands across the entire country, including a Montecito equestrian estate and a farm in East Maui, Winfrey’s ‘collection’ is quite colorful and varied! In Telluride, Colorado, Winfrey owns a lavish $14-million mansion. If you think that’s insane, her Montecito estate is outrageously reeking in opulence too – with a $165-million value in 2018. Winfrey’s Orca’s Island is valued at $8 million, and it is simply a holiday home! Oprah Winfrey sure is the epitome of a success story – and it shows in her fortune of $2.7 billion! Absolutely mind-blowing!
Jon Stewart – $17.5 Million, New York City
Jon Stewart is the former host of The Daily Show and this stunning Tribeca penthouse was once his home. The house went on the market again for $20 million, a good deal for the 6,280-square-foot duplex of five bedrooms. The living room is 37 feet long, so quite a showstopper! The home even has an observation terrace for enjoying and soaking in the excellent views. Stewart purchased this home in 2005, for a fraction of its current asking price – $5.8 million and it was sold in 2014 for $17.5 million. Great buy, especially with plenty of celebrity neighbors! If you’re looking where to buy a home – this might be the neighborhood for you!
Conan O’Brien – $ 9.25 Million Los Angeles
When you first step into Conan O’Brien’s Brentwood home, you are met with a gorgeous portico and flattering shutters. O’Brien purchased the compound in January of 2008, for a hefty $10.75 million. What was really disheartening though for O’Brien is that he sold the place for $9.25 million in 2012 – less than what he had actually bought it for! Well, that loss doesn’t even take into consideration the expenses on renovations or improvements, not to mention the different fees involved. Let’s hope that O’Brien’s future investments are better thought through than this one!
Queen Latifah – About $2.3 Million, New Jersey
Queen Latifah is an actress much-loved and well recognized. The first home Latifah purchased was a luxury home that was built in 2001. The place was offered for sale for $2.4 million later, and the 7,000 square feet of opulence is nestled on nine acres of beautiful land that is surrounded by lovely estates and equestrian farms. In 2014, the price dropped mid-year to $2.35 million, though the buyer actually ended up closing the deal for less than that. The eye-catcher is an Olympic-sized pool that is actually heated! Latifah has $60 million in her savings account in 2018 to splurge on another luxury home for herself!
Wayne Brady – $3 Million, Sherman Oaks
The Let’s Make a Deal host, Wayne Brady, reportedly bought this beautiful Sherman Oaks villa for $2.5 million back in 2005. In 2017, he decided to give up the real estate so he listed it for about $3 million. The house was described as an organic-modern home with 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. It also features a stunning living space at the back of the house with a wet bar and a fireplace. Brady, whom fans of How I Met Your Mother remembers as Barney’s brother, currently portrays the role of Reese Buckingham in The Bold and the Beautiful .
Regis Philbin – $4.6 Million, Connecticut
Regis Philbin has had one of the most prolific careers in the entertainment business, and it shows. For over a decade, he lived in this magnificent mansion alongside his wife Joy. However, they decided it was time to let it go in November 2019. The reason is that the 6-bedroom home is located in Connecticut. However, Regis and Joy are spending most of their time in California now. This is because they want to enjoy Regis’ retirement and spend more time with their family. The house is now on the market for approximately $4.6 million.
Chelsea Handler – $10.95 Million, Bel-Air
Comedian Chelsea Handler stands to earn a very nice amount when she sells this house. She bought it for approximately half of what she’s selling it for! The ultimate flip if they ask us. The home is a beautiful property with numerous fireplaces and a rustic feel to it. However, there’s nothing rustic about the great pool that’s right outside. Furthermore, the views from Bel-Air are some of the best in the city. Chelsea must have spent little time in her home, though, due to her constant touring. Her current stand-up is called Life Will Be the Death of Me.
Paula Deen – $8.75 Million, Georgia
Celebrity chef Paula Deen gained popularity over the years, placing her among the most famous in the industry. Here we take a look at her mansion, called Riverbend, situated in Savannah. The mansion pitched up on the market for $8.75 million. It has a media room, a study aviary, a drive-in movie theater, and a swimming pool. In 2013, Deen lost her cooking show and was forced off the air with a nasty lawsuit owing to racist comments on her part and some inappropriate comments as well. Reputation recovery might just be what she’s struggling with right now as she tries to clean up her mess and regain her fanbase.
George Stephanopoulos – $6 Million, New York
George Stephanopoulos is famous for his career as a news anchor and he and actress, writer and comedian Ali Wentworth, sold their New York home for close to $6 million. The estate is about an acre and a half and it was purchased for $4.5 million almost five years before it hit the market. It is a comfortable home, stretching over 4,800 square feet and boasting five bedrooms and seven bathrooms. The home even has a basement level, a fitness room, and a wine cellar. Outdoors, you’ll find manicured grounds, a sunken tennis court, and an oversized swimming pool.
Gayle King – $7.45 Million, Connecticut
Oprah’s best friend, Gayle King’s home might have been luxurious and elegant in great measures, but that didn’t stop her from putting the deluxe house on the market for $7.45 million! King’s Connecticut home in Greenwich is located in Richmond Hill Road. It features a step-down living room, a library with a fireplace, a solarium, and four spacious en-suite bathrooms on the second floor.

He and Carol Hagen-Holt, a real estate agent, are selling the Beaux-Arts Fifth Avenue two-story condo that they purchased in 2007 for $3.322 million. The home is a three-bedroom space with impressive views of Madison Square Park. It features 11-foot ceilings and the interior design is modern yet homely. In October 2018, Holt barricaded himself in a hotel room, because of hurricane Michael blasting through Florida. We bet he was glad he doesn’t live there!
Katie Couric – $8.25 Million, New York City
Katie Couric listed her New York City apartment for $8.25 million, making quite a profit after having bought the place way back in 1998 for a humble $3.6 million. Couric raised her family in the dear apartment and the home is certainly not small – it covers 4,000 square feet, and has five bedrooms. It is a spacious home with great views of the Brick Presbyterian Church. Couric also owns a 1.55-acre property in the classy area of East Hampton, which had cost her $5.65 million from her bank account in 2006.
Anderson Cooper – Listed at $2.595 Million, Connecticut
CNN ‘s Anderson Cooper bought a historic mansion that was designed by Wilson Eyre, a skilled architect. The house is from 1908 and it was reported on the Daily Mail that Anderson had forked out in the range of $5 million and $9 million for the home, but Zillow’s listing speaks of the sale as a measly $1.95 million! If that were really the case, then it sure was a grand loss for Cooper! But for a man with $200 million in net worth in 2018, we doubt it really bothers him much, if at all!
Diane Sawyer – $4.6 Million, New York
This stone house of the 1920s is a French country style home, once belonging to famous journalist Diane Sawyer. At the time that she lived here, Sawyer was married to Mike Nichols, who has since died of a heart attack in 2014. The couple’s former home is nestled in the comforting cliffs of New York’s Palisades, with breath-taking views of the Hudson River. The wide-plank pine floors and the hand-hewn beams offer a rustic charm. The estate stretches over 1.9 acres and is reminiscent of Provence in France. It was listed for $4,6 million. Sawyer has been off the radar recently, and in 2018, she has $80 million to her name.
Joan Rivers – $28 Million, New York City
Joan Rivers was a great and greatly loved comedian, and her lavish penthouse in New York City is to die for! Rivers acquired the home in 1998, and it is 5,109 square feet of opulence. Since its listing in 2009, there was a patient wait during which time the home was even temporarily taken off the market, returning in 2012, only to be taken off in 2013 again. It made a comeback in 2015! What a tug of war! Eventually, Rivers’ home had its asking price met at $28 million – an astonishing price! The lawsuit settlement over Rivers’ botched medicals that led to her death in 2014 was settled in 2016.
Steve Harvey – $110K per Month, Beverly Park
Since 2007, Steve Harvey has been married to Marjorie Bridges. The couple reportedly leases a stunningly beautiful house in the neighborhood of Beverly Parks in Los Angeles. By paying about $110K each month, they get to live within the property’s massive 11,000-square-foot space that features five bedrooms, eight bathrooms, multiple fireplaces, as well as a 1,000-square-foot guest and pool house. Steve has made his fortune by hosting a variety of shows throughout his career including his current ones, Family Feud and Little Big Shots. He has also hosted multiple eponymous talk shows in the past like the recently concluded Steve, which ran from September 2017 to June 2019.
Robin Roberts – $2.5 Million, New York City
Robin Roberts got this place on the Upper West Side in 2005 but she sold it a few years later, in 2011. The location of the building was certainly ideal, as this is one of the most coveted areas in Manhattan. Robin, who became known as a sports correspondent and worked with ESPN , began collaborating with Good Morning America until she was made co-host of the show. Robin’s story is certainly inspiring, given that not only has she broken stereotypes by reporting on sports but she is also a breast cancer survivor. She will receive the NBA Sager Strong Award in 2019, as was announced on May 6, 2019.
Dr. Phil – $5.7 Million, Beverly Hills

This 15,000-square-foot house has five bedrooms, nine bathrooms, two half bathrooms, and a picturesque pool.

Joy Behar – $3.8 Million, Hamptons
Joy Behar is an American comedian and actress best known for her job as The View ’s co-host . But what can we say about the beautiful view of her incredible Hamptons house? With four bedrooms, four bathrooms, one half-bath, and a 4,000 square-foot living space, it’s no wonder this beauty is only available to the richest in the country: it has a cost of $3.8 million! The house also includes vaulted ceilings, a fireplace, a terrace, and a formal dining room. This deluxe one-acre property is now listed for sale, s o don’t miss out on the opportunity of finding joy in Joy Behar’s former house (assuming you have a couple of millions stashed away) .
Drew Carey – Price Unknown, Los Angeles, California
Drew Carey has built a steady career, which started with him doing stand-up comedy. His talent and characteristic dry wit allowed him to get involved in other projects, and he became the host of the improv show Whose Line is it Anyway to great success. He also hosted The Drew Carey Show along with The Price is Right . This long career has led to a huge bank account. This allowed him to purchase a very spacious home in Los Angeles. We’re not surprised, considering that his fortune is estimated at $165 million.
Rachael Ray – $4.69 Million, Southampton
Rachael Ray is a celebrity chef with a deluxe house to offer! Her home in the Hamptons is up for the taking for anybody with a fantastic sense of style and luxury, and of course, $4.69 million to snatch it off the market!

Purchased for $2.1 million, the home initially had a $4.9-million price tag, but after being taken off the market, it returned with a decreased offer in 2018.
Jay Leno – $13.5 Million, Rhode Island
Jay Leno is proud to say he’s the owner of a Rhode Island oceanfront pad! He’s notoriously well-behaved with his finances and he has a handsome bank balance, thanks to his smart thinking when he was younger (he had saved his Tonight Show income!) He splurged and spoiled himself with the oceanfront mansion which cost $13.5 million. Leno is known to be a frequent resident of Newport, so it’s only about time that’s he’s gone and bought a home in the area! A winding drive leads to the beautiful nine-acre estate, and the 12 bedroom home is jam-packed with every amenity anybody could want – from a tennis court to an ocean-facing pool and all in between!
Simon Cowell – $25 Million, Malibu Beach
Simon Cowell rose to prominence as the toughest judge on American Idol’s panel, and he moved on to be just as famous on The X Factor , and one look at his real estate collection says it all! Cowell is the owner of several residences – like a three-bedroom apartment in Upper East Side, and a place in London’s Holland Park, not to mention two Beverley Hills mansions! Well, in November 2017, Cowell shelled out $25 million for a Malibu beach house to add to his extravagant collection of residences. Seven bedrooms should be just enough for Simon Cowell, his girlfriend Lauren Silverman, and their kid, right? For now, maybe.
Bob Barker – $137.90K, South Dakota
It is highly unlikely that you have ever come across a mansion of five bedrooms, four bathrooms, with a vaulted ceiling, wet bar, porch, deck, and fireplace – all that and more – for $137.9K! No kidding, this is the former home of The Price is Right’s former host, Bob Barker, and unfortunately, it is situated in Tripp County, a town that had once been left behind in terms of development. Today, its economy is reliant on the highway nearby. Well, it isn’t really a loss for Barker, as the money he has streaming in from his career should be more than enough that he wouldn’t need the profit for the sale of his mansion anyway!
Ellen DeGeneres – $18.6 Million, Santa Barbara
What a view! Just get an eyeful of that beautiful rolling sea, and we can just imagine the cool refreshing sea breeze flowing through the windows of Ellen DeGeneres’ Carpinteria estate! DeGeneres was set back $18.6 million when she acquired the beach-house, overlooking the glorious Pacific Ocean. It was purchased via a private trust, as records show. Further, the place was described as “ extensively renovated” – perhaps a good thing. DeGeneres also listed her Montecito residence, a Tuscan-style villa, for a ridiculously insane price of $45 million! In December 2018, DeGeneres let out that she may go into retirement by 2020 – she’ll be looking for a place to settle down in, then!
Don Lemon – $3.1 Million, Hamptons
Don Lemon was born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, but grew up to become a television journalist, who now resides in Sag Harbor, Hamptons. After adding experiences from NBC’s The Today Show and NBC Nightly News to his resume, Lemon is currently employed by CNN, where he hosts CNN Tonight.

The home also features a mahogany bar, guest suite, pool, and a pool house—all ideal for the newly engaged Lemon to live with his fiancé, Tim Malone.
Wendy Williams – $1.4 Million, Livingston
Even though this house is seemingly perfect, one of the first things that Wendy Williams did, along with filing for a divorce to Kevin Hunter, was to put it on the market. The house was listed for $1.895 million and sold for around $1.4 million by the summer of 2020. She had bought it in 2009 for $2.1 million, so it’s safe to say that they just wanted to get the sale over with. The house itself, however, is quite stunning. It was built in 1999 to have a 5,398-square-foot interior, with five bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms. It also has a four-car garage and a library.
Larry David – $12 Million, Pacific Palisades
We’re sure Larry David knew his life was going well when he first heard his home described as a fairytale mansion. Despite this, he decided it was time for a change and sold it for $12 million in 2014. The place has seven bedrooms and a spectacular ocean view. Furthermore, it’s surrounded by nature, which gives a feel of seclusion that’s appreciated by many celebrities. Larry made his many millions thanks to his work as a writer. He has written for comedies like Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm. Interestingly, he’s also one of the actors in the latter show.
