5 expensive properties, either presently or previously owned by celebrities
Who would spend millions on interior luxury? I, for one, wouldn't but then, I don't have that much money anyway. But celebrities are known to be extravagant in their spending like Justin Bieber spent $15,000 in 2017 for...wait for it, a pink sapphire set of grills! And he's not alone. But today, we'll discuss five expensive properties, either presently or previously owned by celebrities.
George Clooney: His Lake Como Villa is worth $100mn now
George Clooney's Villa Oleandra in Laglio, Italy, is located on the banks of Lake Como. The mansion has 25 rooms, including bedrooms, bathrooms, a pizza room (will they eat or make pizza there?), room to access his boats, etc. He had bought it for $14mn in 2002, and today its worth is $100mn, making him one of the celebrities to own a super-expensive home.
George Lucas: Paid $100 million for his Californian Ranch
Star Wars creator George Lucas is another top name that owns a pricey property. He bought his traditionally styled Skywalker Ranch in California for $100mn. Built on 4,700-acre land, he uses it as a retreat and a workspace. Its features include a 153,000sqft technical building, with 10 stages, design-editing suites, and a 300-seat theater, to name a few.

Jay-Z, Beyonce: Asking price of their LA mansion was $135mn
Tired of finding a home of your choice? Well, you are not alone. Even power couple Jay-Z and Beyonce settled for a Bel Air Mansion in Los Angeles AFTER two years of hunting!
