Celebrity Mansions From Around The World

Charles Barkley

Many of you will remember Charles Barkley from his days as a great basketball player. However, he’s also had a successful second career as an investor. In fact, Barkley’s done very well for himself! Most recently, he became one of many former NBA stars to invest in the Alabama Futures Fund, which will further invest in companies in Alabama working in high growth areas.

While Barkley often invests in companies from Alabama, his home state, he has lived in Texas for some time. There, he found a beautiful, four-bedroom, three-bathroom house in the exclusive New Territory community. The 17,000-square-foot home featured a hot tub, pool, and home theater. A quality investor, Barkley sold the house for a profit in 2002.

Michael Jordan & Yvette Prieto – Chicago, Estimated $14.9 Million

Michael Jordan is perhaps the most famous basketball player of all time, winning dozens of awards during his career. Along the way, he also became the first NBA player to make a billion dollars. Of course, over time, Jordan’s just continued to increase his worth with endorsements with brands like Hanes.

Jordan’s former Highland Park retreat is currently for sale, for the low, low price of $14.9 million. The 56,000-square-foot custom-built living space boasts a regulation-sized basketball gym (of course), a tennis court, circular infinity pool, cigar room, and front gates emblazoned with his playing number, 23. Like many other celebrities with massive mansions, Jordan found it hard to sell the home. Few have that cash lying around! His previous home has been on and off the market since February 2012 and was initially priced at $29 million.

Magic Johnson – Orange County, $7.6 Million

Sometimes, you just need to get away from the city! At least, that’s the idea behind Magic Johnson’s vacation home in Orange County. Although the basketball star lives less than two hours away, in iconic Beverly Hills, he decided to pick up an ocean vacation home just a short drive to the south. Of course, after becoming one of the biggest basketball stars of the 1980s and 1990s, Johnson can afford to do whatever he wants!

Johnson’s home, just minutes from Disneyland, has a private beach and dock, as well as a beautiful view of Catalina Island. Meanwhile, if Johnson and his family don’t fancy the beach, the three-bedroom home also comes with a Mediterranean-themed freshwater pool!

Shaquille O’Neal – Orlando, Estimated $21.9 Million

NBA superstar Shaquille O’Neal might be retired, but he continues to add to his massive wealth with product endorsements and special appearances. As a result, O’Neal’s able to afford a home in one of the wealthiest gated communities in the U.S.: Isleworth, located about thirty minutes outside of Orlando, Florida. The community doesn’t just boast O’Neal as a resident, but also athletes Dwight Howard and Ken Griffey Jr. and actor Wesley Snipes!

O’Neal’s Florida home is an impressive complex. The 12-bedroom mansion features a 95-foot long swimming pool in the backyard, a 17-car garage for the NBA star’s extensive car collection, and, of course, a full-sized indoor basketball court. The house also represents quite the investment for Shaq, as he bought it for just under $4 million in 1993.

Patrick Peterson – Scottsdale, Estimated $2.6 Million

NFL player Patrick Peterson is truly living the high life in his 7,800-square-foot mansion in Scottsdale, Arizona. The cornerback of the Arizona Cardinals splashed out a whopping $2.6 million for the Tuscan-inspired home. Hedged by tall trees and palms, the celebrity home has a guest house, a basketball court, and a lagoon-style pool and spa.

The mansion, valued at $2.6 million, offers all kinds of amenities for the young athlete. These include a library, a gourmet kitchen, and an on-site gym. However, Peterson can undoubtedly afford the luxury and the sizable home insurance premiums, thanks to his multi-million dollar contract with the Cardinals!

LeBron James & Savannah Brinson – Akron, Estimated $9.2 Million

LeBron James is easily the biggest NBA star currently playing the game. The star cemented his residency in Ohio when he signed a three-year contract with the Clevland Cavaliers in 2016. The deal was worth an unheard of (in basketball) $100 million! On top of his yearly salaries, James’ endorsements have earned him more money than most NBA players make in their entire careers. So how did he spend his money? Well, the athlete went out and bought himself and his wife, Savannah Brinson, a 30,000-square-foot deluxe house.

James picked up the home for $9.2 million, and it includes six bedrooms and 11 bathrooms. Additionally, it has an aquarium, casino, movie theater, and bowling alley. It’s basically an entire hotel in a home! Of course, there is also a regulation-size basketball court in the backyard. Fun fact, it is one of the most expensive homes in all of Ohio!

Kobe Bryant – Newport Beach, $15 Million

At one point, basketball star Kobe Bryant owned three houses, in total worth more than $20 million, throughout Orange County, just south of Los Angeles. However, over time he downsized, selling the two smaller homes and keeping his larger mansion to raise his family.

The 14,500-square-foot, $15 million home had everything a basketball legend could desire in a mansion: pool, home theater, multi-car garage, six bedrooms, 11 bathrooms, and, of course, a two-level sports complex, complete with a full-sized basketball court. Unfortunately, Bryant passed away in 2020 after a helicopter crash not far from his Newport Beach home, in Calabasas. Currently, it is unknown whether his family is planning to keep the house or not.

Dolly Parton – Brentwood, Tennessee, Estimation Unknown

With incredibly massive hits like “Jolene” and “9 to 5,” as well as a five-decade career, Dolly Parton clearly knows what she’s doing when it comes to the music business! But she also knows what she’s doing in the real estate biz! Over the years, Parton has owned some incredible homes, including a Nashville mansion and beautiful desert bungalow.

However, the home Parton most adores is her large estate in Brentwood, a short drive from Nashville, which she has owned since the early ’80s. Fun fact: once upon a time, Marilyn Monroe also owned a mansion in Brentwood. While Parton enjoys her privacy from behind her home’s gates, she has let slip that the home features a recording studio, tennis courts, and pool!

Halle Berry – Hollywood Hills, $4.15 Million

Looking at pictures of actress Halle Berry’s Hollywood home, you might think you were on some quiet island in the Caribbean, not minutes from bustling L.A. Maybe that’s why, unlike other celebrities, Berry did not merely abandon her home when it needed repairs. Instead, she stuck with it, dropping millions on fixes and extensions.

However, it all paid off! Today, the Mediterranean-style home looks better than ever. It sits on nearly an acre of land and features plenty of open spaces with fresh air and natural light. Plus, with three bedrooms and bathrooms, the house is undoubtedly better for a family, which Berry has, than massive Hollywood parties. However, it still comes with plenty of fancy amenities, like a spa, music studio, and marble throughout the home.
