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.

Jeff Goldblum

Estimated net worth: $US40m ($AU61.9m)

Jeff Goldblum has lived in the same Hollywood Hills home for more than 37 years.

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.

Goldblum shares the home with wife Emilie Livingston and their two children.

While many actors upgrade every few years, he has chosen stability, creating one of Hollywood’s longest celebrity-held residences.

Jonathan Bailey

Estimated net worth: $US4m, ($AUD6.18m)

Jonathan Bailey shifted away from London’s intensity during the pandemic and settled in Hove, the quieter and more genteel neighbour of Brighton.

The area is known for its Regency architecture, wide promenades and strong local community life.

Bailey, who was named Sexiest Man Alive in 2023 by The Argus and People Magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive in 2025, embraces cold water swimming at the nearby beach and often joins local running groups.

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.

Cynthia Erivo

Estimated net worth: $US5m ($AUD7.73m)

Cynthia Erivo owns one of the most private real estate portfolios in the cast, choosing locations that prioritise sanctuary and architectural texture.

She is understood to have a ranch-style property in Idaho’s Sun Valley region, an area long favoured by celebrities who want space and anonymity.

The market is tightly held and surrounded by conservation land, providing natural privacy.

Erivo also divides her time between London, New York and Los Angeles.

Her London home features an exposed brick entry and a glass staircase consistent with warehouse-style conversions.

Her Los Angeles base has a wall of windows overlooking a calm garden, offering a quiet space away from the city.

She collaborated with Airbnb on a themed woodland retreat called Elphaba’s Retreat, although it is not one of her personal homes.
