Celebs are always making the news. Celebrity relationships, breakups, and scandals are sometimes all anyone can talk about. They make major news when they party hard all night long or wear a scandalous outfit to an awards show. However, celebs that enjoy spending their money will always steal the spotlight. They make headlines with their expensive purchases, especially their homes. In fact, many Hollywood stars are known for purchasing an extravagant and lavish mansion. These mansions aren’t just ordinary mansions. They have special features that the average person could only dream of having in his/her home.

Celebrity homes are sometimes on the market for years before they’re purchased and often not at the original asking price. Many of these homes are built in beautiful locations with views that are worth the purchase. In the last few months, several world-famous celebs have sold their enormous homes and became even wealthier. Additionally, several famous stars are looking to sell their home in the coming year.
