The Gorgeous Homes of Hollywood's Biggest Legends

Hollywood stars are often envied for their fame and fortune. These stars show us that their years of artistry does pay off and there’s still a milestone they have to flaunt—the use of this earned wealth to buy the homes of their dreams. These actors, actresses, and musicians not only stunned us with their performances but with the homes they live in as well.

Loni Anderson first achieved fame when she starred in the CBS show WKRP in Cincinnati. The home that this fame bought her isn’t anything to scoff at either. It’s located in Sherman Oaks and was valued at $2.435 million back in 2014. This massive home has 4,630 square feet of living space taken up by a master suite, six bathrooms, five bedrooms, and a media room. It also features additional amenities such as a saltwater pool, its three fireplaces, and a spa.

Mitzi Gaynor gained notability in Hollywood with her leading lady role in the movie South Pacific. With this fame, she bought a Spanish villa in Beverly Hills built in 1929. Alongside a master bedroom suite, the home features five bedchambers, six bathrooms, a maid’s room, and a pool. She listed the home for $5.495 million in 2013 and finally found a buyer named Nick Sinatra in January 2014. After extensive renovations, he relisted the home in 2016 for $11.5 million and it was bought for $10.3 million later that year.

Kareem Abdul Jabbar is a legendary basketball player who has since retired. During his time on the court, he served as the leading player for the Los Angeles Lakers, and those 20 seasons earned him enough fortune to buy this 5,912-square-foot home in Hawaii. The mansion features a fireplace, a pool, a waterfall, and high ceilings to account for a basketball player’s height. Even more mysterious, the now-for-sale home has a hidden passage leading to a private beach.

Nicknamed the “King of Calypso,” Harry Belafonte has earned a place as one of the most well-known Jamaican-American artists there is. He’s worked as a singer, songwriter, and actor. Most recently, you might have seen him in BlacKkKlansman in 2018. His beautiful home is a colonial in upstate New York in 100 acres of land. The artist actively owned it from the 50s to the 90s but put it on the market in 2019 for a whopping $2.9 million.
