Owning and living in luxury houses is something many people dream about from early childhood. Many people work towards this dream in adulthood, and some simply forget about it altogether. The truth is that it costs huge sums of money to purchase these cool mansions that are fantasies.

For some high-earning individuals, ‘expensive’ is normal. Some of these homes cost hundreds of thousands of dollars and others cost millions of dollars. From TV personalities to athletes, actors, rappers, and more, we have compiled a list of your favorite stars and their luxury homes. 

Hoda Kotb –  Long Island ($2 Million)

Hoda Kotb is a co-anchor on NBC News morning show “Today” amongst many other things. Her career and success have allowed her to own one of the cool mansions on our list. She reportedly purchased a waterfront home at Point Lookout in New York in 2017. Kotb’s social media followers had spotted her in the Point Lookout area in 2016, and some speculate she was looking for where to buy a home.

Her Point Lookout home reportedly costs $2 million. It has four bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, and a private swimming dock. She also has an apartment in Upper Manhattan, New York.

Whoopi Goldberg – California ($8.8 Million)

Whoopi Goldberg had a knack for picking iconic properties, and her Pacific Palisades pad was no exception. Snagged in 1993 for $2.5 million—because apparently, that’s how EGOT winners roll—this Art Deco gem oozed old-school Hollywood charm. She eventually parted ways with it in 2018 for a cool $8.8 million, proving she’s not just funny but also a savvy investor.

The 1930s-built home had it all: a classic black-and-white checkered foyer perfect for dramatic entrances, a pool for hosting epic cannonball competitions, and even an in-house pub for, well, “research.” Add crown moldings, fireplaces galore, and a guest house, and you’ve got a slice of California dreamin’.

JD Vance – Washington DC ($590K)

In 2014, JD Vance and his wife, Usha, spent $590K on a cozy Capitol Hill townhouse in Washington, D.C.—a spot just a stone’s throw from political power plays and overpriced coffee. This 1,674-square-foot charmer blends historic vibes with modern perks, featuring airy ceilings, a spacious living-dining combo, and a quaint courtyard perfect for sipping something stronger than politics.

Nestled on a tree-lined street less than a mile from the Capitol, it screams “D.C. insider chic.” But here’s the twist: these days, the Vances rent it out for $3,700 a month, proving even senators know a thing or two about turning a profit.

Kamala Harris – Brentwood ($2.7 Million)

Kamala Harris and Doug Emhoff’s Brentwood home is nothing short of prime real estate gold. Snagged in 2012 for $2.7 million (pre-VP days, of course), this 3,500-square-foot gem is nestled in a star-studded neighborhood where neighbors include Gwyneth Paltrow and LeBron James. Four bedrooms, five bathrooms, and a private pool make it the ultimate California dream.

With its enviable location just ten minutes from the Getty Center, it’s a haven for both power couples and poolside lounging. Fast-forward to today, and the house’s value has practically doubled, clocking in at a cool $5 million.

Donald Trump Jr. – Palm Beach ($9.7 Million)

Donald Trump Jr. and Kimberly Guilfoyle didn’t just settle for a house—they snagged a $9.7 million palace in Jupiter, Florida, in 2021. Nestled in the ultra-fancy Admirals Cove, this pad is like a vacation that never ends, offering golf courses, tennis courts, a marina, and even a spa.

The mansion flexes seven bedrooms and 12 bathrooms—because clearly, you need five spare bathrooms just in case! Add a wine room, home theater, elevator, and a dock that screams “yacht parking only,” and you’ve got a setup fit for a lifestyle magazine cover. Life on Florida’s coast? It doesn’t get more luxe (or more extra) than this.
