Ariana Grande

Estimated net worth: $US250m ($AUD387m)

Ariana Grande has become one of Hollywood’s most active celebrity property traders.

The singer previously owned a $US16m ($AUD25m) Zaha Hadid designed penthouse in New York with sculptural interiors and High Line views.

It sold for $US12m ($AUD18.56m) in 2021 for less than she paid after her break-up with Pete Davidson.

Her most recognisable property is the Porter House in Montecito.

The estate was created from two 18th-century English barns that were shipped to California and connected by a glass walkway.

Grande bought it for $US6.75m, ($AUD10.4m) married there, then sold it off market for $US9.1m ($AUD14.4m)

She also held a Bird Streets cottage that Bad Bunny purchased for $US8.3m ($AUD12.8m) in 2024, a sale influenced by Los Angeles’ new mansion tax.

The Break free hitmaker’s most recent home is a $US4.9m ($AUD7.5m) Hollywood Hills retreat that once belonged to Cameron Diaz.

The residence offers a smaller but highly private base close to the studios.

Michelle Yeoh

Estimated net worth: $40m ($AUD$61.8m)

Michelle Yeoh maintains one of the most geographically diverse portfolios in Hollywood, reflecting a career that moves across Europe, Asia and the US.

Her primary residence is an 18th-century maison de maitre in Geneva with manicured gardens, high ceilings and a central courtyard.

It was restored by architect Jean Michel Wilmotte, whose work includes parts of the Louvre.

Yeoh describes the Swiss mansion as a place where she becomes dormant between projects.

She and partner Jean Todt also keep a Paris residence, a home in Ipoh in Malaysia and a foothold in Hong Kong, allowing them to work seamlessly across continents.

To support her Hollywood workload, Yeoh bought into the Mandarin Oriental Residences in Beverly Hills, a serviced luxury building with a private restaurant, concierge and a rooftop pool for long-term stays.

The property sits close to Runyon Canyon and reflects his eclectic personality. The residence features rooms filled with musical instruments, bright textiles and the distinctive fashion pieces he wears on and off screen.

The move reflects his focus on mental wellbeing and balance while working internationally.

He also maintains a London home for theatre and studio commitments.

Interiors glimpsed through social media show warm, lived-in tones and European influences that match Hove’s seaside character.
