In 2023, Beyoncé and Jay-Z purchased one of the most beautiful homes in California. Located in Malibu’s prime Paradise Cove neighborhood, the couple’s acquisition of the 8-acre property, valued at $200 million, made history as the most expensive single-family home ever sold in California.
The beachfront estate features views of the Pacific Ocean, two outdoor pools and a 40,000-square-foot home built by architect Tadao Ando.

Located on picturesque Lake Como, George Clooney acquired his 18th-century Italian villa in 2002. Named Villa Oleandra, the ornate edifice is worth an estimated $100 million. It features 25 rooms, including a “pizzeria,” which is fitting for such a lush Italian landscape.

5. The Weeknd
The Weeknd purchased his Bel Air mansion for $70 million in 2021. You may have gotten a glimpse inside without even knowing it; the 1.6-acre lot served as the primary filming location for the superstar’s TV project, “The Idol.”

A look inside reveals neutral tones, marble accents, and curved staircases hidden within the walls of this 1950s architectural marvel.
7. Tina Turner
The rock queen lived lavishly in her $76 million Swiss estate before she died in 2023. Turner moved into the home, named Villa Algonquin, in 1998.
She had rented it for several years before due to restrictions on foreigners buying property in the country and eventually acquired it after becoming a Swiss citizen in 2013. That year, she also married her partner Erwin Bach in a ceremony on the estate.
8. Bill Gates
It took seven years and $63 million to build Bill Gates’ 66,000-square-foot estate in Medina, Washington, named Xanadu 2.0. Today, it’s estimated to be worth more than $130 million. The mansion’s property has some pretty cool features, like a 60-foot pool, a massive trampoline, and sand imported from St. Lucia.
