The German-born former Victoria’s Secret Angel has come far from her days as just a beautiful model. After a successful modeling career, she became the host of Germany’s Next Topmodel and Project Runway. Recently, she has been the judge on America’s Got Talent.
The famous Supermodel and TV star, is living the glamorous life with her $24-million Italian themed villa in Los Angeles. The real estate property has eight bedrooms, ten bathrooms, fountains, and gazebos. She doesn’t need to leave her home for she has her very own golf course and hiking trails.
Mary-Kate Olsen And Olivier Sarkozy: ~ $13.5 Million, New York
Mary-Kate Olsen had her acting debut even before the age of 1, when she shared the role of Michelle Tanner with her twin sister, Ashley on the popular TV sitcom, Full House. The show ran for 8 years. Mary-Kate went on to build an empire with her sister and the twin tycoons co-founded several fashion brands together.
Former child actress and designer, Mary-Kate Olsen has shacked up with husband Olivier Sarkozy, brother of France’s former president, in Turtle Bay, New York. The 8,000-square-foot townhouse has 5 bedrooms, a ballroom, an elevator, an artist’s studio, and a courtyard with a fountain. Its former owner, painter David Deutsch, initially listed it for $16.5 million, but the couple managed to get it down to $13.5 million.
Alec Baldwin- $14.75 Million, New York
Alec Baldwin is the oldest of the four Baldwin brothers. Leading the way for his three younger actor brothers for their own acting careers, he is most recognized for his role on 30 Rock, where he played Jack Donaghy. He won several awards for his performance including three Golden Globes and two Emmy Awards.
The actor and his wife, Hilaria Thomas, a yoga instructor, purchased a $2.25-million space to add to Alec’s penthouse, bought in 2011 at $12.5 million. Hilaria recently gave birth to their daughter in August, so we can surmise that the extra space is to make way for this new addition to the family. The Baldwins’ penthouse property is on the top floors of a 1920s-era building in New York, which has amenities like a children’s playroom and a fitness center.
Richard Branson- $180,000, Necker Island
The English business Magnate Richard Branson founded the Virgin Group, a company which controls over 400 companies, including the Virgin Records Music Label and Virgin Atlanta Airline. He was knighted at Buckingham Palace in 2000 for his contributions as an entrepreneur.
While most celebrities own large estates and mansions, in 1979, the billionaire takes it a step further by owning an entire tropical island, which he bought when he was only 28 (and didn’t even need loans for it). For $10 million, he transformed Necker Island into a private resort. Unfortunately, the main house burned down in 2011 in the midst of a tropical storm. However, the owner of the Virgin Group of Companies rebuilt his island getaway in no time. The wonders that money can do!
Arianna Huffington- $8 Million, New York
Arianna Huffington was co-founder and former editor-in-chief of The Huffington Post. The company sold to AOL in 2011 for $315 million. Forbes lists the businesswoman as the 52nd most powerful woman in the world. She was married to Michael Huffington for 8 years during which they had two daughters. The two divorced in 1997.
Arianna made headlines last year when she was sued for $275,000 allegedly for damaging her Chelsea rental. Her lawyers must have had a tough time with this one. She then decided to lighten her bank account and buy for herself, a luxury 4,000-square-foot loft on Mercer Street, which has features like a regal master suite and a 30-foot fitting room, to name a few.
