In the glitzy world of celebrity real estate, it is not uncommon for homes to change hands for eye-watering sums. Despite the ongoing fluctuations in the property market, many stars continue to command prices well into the eight figures. Recently, a number of notable celebrities have made headlines for their substantial property sales, with some selling their lavish estates for over £50 million.

Among these high-profile sales is Ryan Seacrest, who sold his opulent Beverly Hills estate for an impressive $51 million (£41 million) in November 2022. Initially, he had hoped to secure $85 million for the three-acre compound, which includes a main house of 9,200 square feet, two guesthouses, a pool house, gym, and underground garage. The American TV host acquired the property from Ellen DeGeneres for $36.5 million in 2018, demonstrating the volatile nature of celebrity property value.
Mark Wahlberg also made headlines when he sold his sprawling Beverly Park mansion for $55 million (£45 million) in February 2023, having initially listed it for $87.5 million. The extensive 30,500-square-foot residence is situated on over six acres and features a range of unique amenities, such as a private five-hole golf course, a skate park, a grotto-style swimming pool, and a basketball court themed around the Boston Celtics.
Tyler Perry, the prominent media mogul, placed his Beverly Hills estate on the market in September 2026 for a staggering $57 million. This opulent 24,592-square-foot property was once home to Meghan Markle and Prince Harry during a brief period in 2020 as they stepped back from royal duties. Perry’s real estate portfolio is vast, also including properties in Atlanta, a private island in the Bahamas, and a house in Jackson, Wyoming, which he listed for $39.5 million earlier in the year.
Another iconic name in Hollywood, Sylvester Stallone, sold his own mansion in Beverly Park for $58 million in February 2022, with the purchase made by none other than singer Adele. The transfer of ownership included a unique request from Adele, who insisted that Stallone’s famous Rocky Balboa statue remain with the property, which spans 21,000 square feet.
In October 2025, Adam Levine and his wife Behati Prinsloo sold their Montecito estate for $60 million (£49 million). The couple had purchased the 3.4-acre property, originally built for actor Rob Lowe, for $52 million just three years earlier. They renovated the substantial 11,523-square-foot residence, which boasts a tennis court, koi pond, and even a chicken coop, adding to its allure.
Robbie Williams, the British pop sensation, achieved a remarkable sale price of £70 million when his Beverly Hills estate changed hands in 2022. The property’s extravagant features, which include 27 bathrooms and an 11-car garage, likely attracted the attention of rapper Drake, who ultimately purchased the estate. With a total area of 20,000 square feet, it’s a property that epitomises luxury living.
Byron Allen, a well-known television producer and comedian, managed to sell his full-floor condominium located on New York City’s exclusive Billionaires’ Row for an astonishing $82.5 million. This off-market transaction, completed in March 2025, contributed significantly to Allen’s impressive net worth. The identity of the buyer remains unknown, adding an air of mystery to this hefty real estate deal.
Perhaps the most staggering of these celebrity home transactions came in 2024 when Ellen DeGeneres and her wife, Portia de Rossi, sold their exceptional estate in Carpinteria, California, for a remarkable $96 million (£78 million). This sale garnered headlines not only for the price tag but also for the fact that the couple made a tidy profit, having purchased the property for $70 million just two years earlier. The expansive 10-acre estate features an 8,000-square-foot residence, a cabana, and a guest cottage, all perched on a cliff with breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean.
These recent celebrity home sales exemplify the audacious sums at which these high-profile properties are trading. From lavish mansions in Beverly Hills to iconic residences along Billionaires’ Row, the trend is clear: celebrity real estate continues to capture the imagination of both buyers and the general public alike, reflecting the lifestyles of the rich and famous. As prices potentially continue to rise, it remains to be seen how other celebrities will navigate the ever-evolving real estate market in the years to come.
