When it comes to celebrity homes, everyone knows they’re massive and worth millions (if not hundreds of millions). So, knowing how much money it costs to own one, it’s no wonder that some celeb mansions, like Ariana Grande’s former Tudor Style home or The Weeknd’s former Hidden Hills mansion, were passed from one celebrity to another.
And though some of these buyer-seller duos (and even trios!) likely knew each other before the sale, like Oprah Winfrey and Jennifer Aniston, or Khloé Kardashian and Justin Bieber, it’s interesting to see how two celebrities with different lives, styles, and careers shared the same exact home in different times. Leonardo DiCaprio and Jesse Tyler Ferguson, or Kendall Jenner and Charlie Sheen, for instance, are other prime examples.
So, to find out which of your favorite celebrities have bought or sold their homes to other familiar names, scroll on! And, P.S., Don’t be surprised if a few names pop up more than once – celebs have the money to accrue a whole real estate portfolio if they want to!
