UNBELIEVABLE! DISCOVER THE MOST SUMPTUOUS RESIDENCES BELONGING TO THE BIGGEST STARS
George Michael: £21.9 Million, London
Late musician George Michael’s repute lives on in his many timeless songs like Careless Whisper. His incredible singing talent was the reason Michael could afford to buy himself a three-story red-brick house in Highgate, North London which was recently sold for £21.9 Million to a fan. The mansion has unconventional features including a swimming pool and beautiful garden.
Yet, one mansion wasn’t enough for the legend. He also owned a £3.4 million Oxfordshire property, a 16th-century building located in a peaceful locale far from the tumult of the city. In fact, George’s fans wanted it turned into a museum on his passing.
John Cleese: £1.25 Million, London
We love John Cleese from the Monty Python comedy group for cracking us up every time. The actor, irked by the England weather recently sold his £2.6 million Bath home and is selling his lavish one-bedroom flat in London, of which the asking price is £1.25 million.
The house is at the heart of London and boasts of crisp white walls, wooden floors, and a huge living room leading to the outside. Cleese and his wife have relocated to the Caribbean Island of Saint Kitts and Nevis, which is the complete opposite of London. You bet right they’ll love it there!
Ewan McGregor: £4 Million, Los Angeles
Star Wars actor Ewan McGregor is a man of refined tastes judging by his £4 million property in Brentwood, Los Angeles. To understand the kind of posh estate we are discussing here, you will be pleased to know that Marilyn Monroe used to live right next door!
Ewan purchased the distinctly 1930s style mansion at £1.4 million but then upgraded it with modern designer fittings and furnishings, making its value increase significantly. Although the court handed the lavish dwelling to his ex-wife Eve Mavrakis during their divorce proceedings, the stylish house is a clear testament to McGregor’s kingly ways.
Fiona Bruce: London, £2.1 Million
British journalist Fiona Bruce resides in Belsize Park, London, with her hubby Nigel Sharrocks and two children. The longtime BBC presenter is known for her fluent multi-lingual tongue, making her an excellent conference facilitator and the host of shows like Antiques Roadshow, Fake or Fortune and Crimewatch.
The two-story house has white awnings and offers Fiona some much-needed tranquility in a busy city with its classic garden where she likes to relax when not working. Bruce is also fortunate enough to own another home in Sydenham, Oxfordshire, and so the family switches between the two abodes.
Gary Neville: £2.9 Million, Bolton
Former Manchester United player Gary Neville lives like royalty. After such a decorated career on the pitch, the man earned a large pot of gold and now enjoys spending his money on some posh pieces of real estate. Gary’s £2.9 million property in Bolton is like something out of a movie based on its top-level amenities.
Neville installed a stellar security system, complete with bulletproof windows, and also gets to enjoy a fully-equipped entertainment area, four en-suite bedrooms with walk-in cupboards, and a steam room in the master bedroom. The house also has an indoor infinity pool and a tennis court.
Hugh Laurie: £2 Million, Los Angeles
Despite struggling with being far from his British family due to work, House actor Hugh Laurie went on to buy a £2 million regal mansion in Los Angeles in 2008. The house is located in Hollywood Hills -a neighborhood dubbed the ‘magical garden paradise’.
Hugh’s gated home is a 3,242- sq ft English country house that features a pool, gym, and guest house. We understand he was still on the House set at the time and ached from being far from his family. Yet, moving out of his rented apartment into the beautiful mansion must have helped a little. Better still, his family, later on, moved to LA and saved the situation.
Gemma Ward: £1.1 Million, Sydney
The modeling industry pays its elite professionals well, judging by pretty model Gemma Ward’s lifestyle. Gemma was always born for the runway, having found mainstream success at only 15 years and accruing some substantial wealth that saw her afford a stunning £1.1 million beach house in Sydney.
Ward made it to the top of the beauty queen profession, being listed among the top 30 models of the 2000s and appearing on the covers of countless Vogue magazines. As such, she needed a perfect cave to unwind in, and the two-bedroom crib located on Marine Drive provided the ideal tranquility.
Joseph Gatt: Undisclosed, Beverly Grove, Los Angeles
If you’ve seen movies like “Thor,” “Star Trek Into the Darkness” and “Dumbo,” then you’d probably be familiar with Joseph Gatt. He grew up hoping to join the Royal Air Force and train as a fighter pilot. However, once life threw a wrench in those plans, he was happy enough to focus on his other talent―acting.
Thanks to his impressive filmography, he’s earned enough to afford property in Beverly Grove, Los Angeles. A lover of privacy, details of his residence are not available. However, in 2022, Gatt appeared in the documentary series, “2nd Unit: Invisible Action Stars.”

Idris Elba: £1.1 Million, France
Like his many talents, Idris Elba also has many properties to his name. The English actor, writer, and producer who grew up in London has a house there and another in Los Angeles as he maneuvers between work and his family, especially for his beautiful daughter.
Well, those aren’t the only property portfolios of Idris. He also has a luxurious £1.1 million home in Brittany on the French Coastline to which he retreats when he feels the need to rest and unravel. The home is far away from the city buzz and is the perfect spot for chill weekends and holidays.
Rowan Atkinson: £2.65 Million, Oxfordshire, England.
Rowan Atkinson is no doubt a great character on the screen. The comedian-actor, popularly known as Mr. Bean, also has a great taste for real-estate off the screen. The Blackadder star has an astonishing country home located in Oxfordshire which he has renovated over the years to include a fitness complex, indoor pool, and an outdoor tennis court.
Sadly, this beautiful home was sold in 2016 for £2.65 million after the actor broke up with his wife of 24 years, Sunetra Sastry. Presently, Atkinson lives mostly in his £4.6 million London apartment with his new girlfriend Louise Ford.
Paul Gascoigne: Dorset, Southwest London
If you are wondering about the whereabouts of the former footballer Paul Gascoigne, he is well and happy enjoying his retirement in his Dorset apartment in Southwest London. His place is spacious yet cozy, with all the amenities that one would need.
One look at his living room with cream-colored walls, snug couches, large television and memorabilia, and trinkets dotting the area will give an idea of how Paul spends his days. That’s right! What can be better than watching football, the game he’s been passionate about all his life? We dig those large glass windows – perfect for relaxing while looking at the world outside!
Paul O’Grady: Kent
Simply scroll through his social media posts to know what a huge animal lover Paul O’Grady is. So, it’s pretty natural for the man to spend his days surrounded by several pets. While not busy hosting the award-winning show For the Love of Dogs, you can find him tending to cheetah cubs, goats, and kittens at his amazing Kent farmhouse.
The house is full of warmth from the wooden armchair that puppies feel comfy sitting on, to the leopard-printed wide sofa. It’s a perfect nest for Paul’s stream of four-legged friends. This man who has named his pet pigs is also a passionate animal rights activist.
Letitia Dean: Wootton
Letitia Dean is not among those celebrities who like to lead flashy lifestyles in prominent and busy cities. Instead, she decided to opt for the calm and serene village of Wootton in North England to be her residence. The EastEnders star has found the peaceful life she wanted in this tiny village with its sparse population.
Wootton is home to young people and only has 1,654 households. Still, there are several facilities in the area, including pubs, salons, and office spaces, for residents to enjoy. Dean desists from bringing more details of her sanctuary and personal life to the limelight, and we believe it is her right to do so.
