As 2023 comes to an end, which was notable for many of the most expensive real estate deals, the stars behind the 10 most expensive deals spent less on average than last year, but one deal broke the previous record in the United States.
Architectural Digest collected celebrity real estate deals, according to Al Arabiya Business.
Brad Pitt: $33 million
In March, Brad Pitt sold his home in the Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles that he bought in 1994. In the years since, he has added nearby properties, building an estate that spans nearly two acres. Oil heiress Ellen Getty paid $33 million for the complex where Pitt and Angelina Jolie raised their six children until their separation in 2016.
Jennifer Lopez: Two properties worth 94.9 million
Following their wedding in the summer of 2022, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are reshuffling their real estate portfolios and setting their sights on a shared home. During the process, Lopez listed the 8-acre Bel Air estate she purchased in 2016. The nine-bedroom French country-style home and its picturesque lot, which includes a private lake, guest cottages and an amphitheater, sold for $34 million in October.
After nearly two years of searching, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck finally found their new nest in June. The couple sold at least 3 different homes throughout the process before purchasing a $60.9 million contemporary Georgian home in the Beverly Hills Post Office District.
Rick Ross: $35 million
In April, Rick Ross announced that he had acquired a Texas mansion and purchased fellow rapper Meek Mill’s Atlanta home for $4.2 million. In August, he completed the purchase of a $35 million mansion on Miami’s celebrity-favorite Star Island.
Tommy Hilfiger: $41 million
Tommy Hilfiger successfully flipped a Mediterranean-style residence in Palm Beach, Florida in June after purchasing it less than 6 months ago. The fashion designer spent $36.85 million on the 1920s structure in January, listing it less than three weeks later with an asking price of $47.95 million. Ultimately, the nearly 7,000-square-foot residence sold for just over $41 million.
Tom Ford: $52 million
Over the summer, Tom Ford purchased a historic East Hampton mansion linked to Jackie Kennedy for $52 million. Known as “Lasata,” the Arts and Crafts-style residence, built in 1917, is 8,500 square feet and has 10 bedrooms. The property, located on a seven-acre plot of land, was owned by the former First Lady’s grandfather, John Vernoux Bouvier Jr.
Mark Wahlberg: $55 million
Mark Wahlberg initially listed his 6.2-acre Beverly Hills home in April 2022 for $87.5 million, but it wasn’t until February of this year that the French-style mansion sold for $55 million at a deep discount. Designed by Richard Landry, the mansion is 30,500 square feet and has 12 bedrooms and 20 bathrooms.
Jeff Bezos: $147 million
In August, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos began making moves to return to Miami. He began by purchasing a 2.8-acre waterfront property worth $68 million in the ultra-exclusive enclave of Indian Creek Island in Biscayne Bay.
A few months later, the Amazon founder expanded his presence in Indian Creek by acquiring an adjacent property. Bezos paid $79 million for the 19,000-square-foot Mediterranean-style mansion, making him the owner of a $147 million property on the secluded island.
Beyoncé and Jay-Z: $200 million
In February 2023, Beyoncé broke the record for the most Grammy Awards ever won when she received 4 of them for her 2022 album “Renaissance,” making her a 32-time Grammy winner. In May, she and Jay-Z purchased the most expensive home ever sold in California for $200 million. The concrete structure designed by Tadao Ando is located in Malibu, and extends over an area of 30,000 square feet.
