The Top Ten Most Expensive Millionaire Celebrity Homes by Kate Johns

You would think writing about the top ten millionaire homes would be easy. Guess again! There are so many celebrities and wealthy people that looking for the MOST expensive celebrity home is like looking for a female celebrity that did not sleep with Leonardo Di Caprio. And if you know his dating history, he is something of a HO. Okay, that's another article, for another time. Without further ado here are the top ten millionaire celebrity homes: written by Kate Johns

1. Oprah Winfrey owns a 55 million dollar sprawling estate. Large is not a word heard at Oprah's digs, more likely, no one can hear Oprah talk in her own home. Mansionesque is the word said here.
Oprah's Montecito, California estate has 14 bathrooms and 10 fireplaces.

2. Next on the list is another California home, owned by the original Playboy, Hugh Hefner. The Playboy mansion was originally bought by Hugh in 1971 for a mere 1.2 million, and has seen more gorgeous naked women than even Leonardo has been with. Today, Hugh's place is estimated to be worth a cool 50 million.

3. Singer, songwriter, drunk driver, Billy Joel's house cost a mere 35 million, and boasts its own private island in the Hamptons. It has a paltry 7 bedrooms and Christie did the right thing by moving out!

4. Christie Brinkley became a major millionaire by showing off her super model curves. Christie's home in Long Island is worth an estimated 30 million dollars, and was recently up for sale. Of course she has a runway for practice walks, and an artist's studio, allowing for maximum creativity.

5. Jerry Seinfeld bought his Hampton mansion from one of Christie Brinkley ex's, Billy Joel for slightly over, 32 million. If only walls could talk! This must have been the home that Joel and shared with his Uptown girl--- Christie Brinkley.

6. Aaron Spelling's home is gigantic and has separate wings that make it look like the Pentagon from the air. Aaron Spelling tore down Bing Crosby's house and build this new huge home,so that Candy Spelling, can have an entire wing to herself. (Oh to be rich!) Aaron's digs have 123 rooms, and a bowling alley.

7. Actor Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver's California home was bought for the low price of only 12 million several years ago when times were better. We weren't in a recession then, and the Governator, was a leading man in Terminator flicks.

8. Radio host, American Idol host, and ten other jobs, Ryan Seacrest recently bought a home in California for a paltry 12 million. Seacrest bought the mansion from actor Kevin Costner, who perhaps was looking for a field of dreams to live in. This mansion is over 10,000 square feet has five bedrooms, and a media room.

9.We can't forget Jennifer Lopez while mentioning the most expensive celebrity homes. J. Lo is one of the richest women in entertainment. Together with singer Marc Anthony they owned a home with over 12,000 square feet, with 7 bedrooms and 14 bathrooms.

10 There are many more seriously expensive celebrity homes with Eddie Murphy and Will Smith owning homes both worth about 20 million. Murphy lives in the 90210 zip code, and Smith lives nearby in a Calabases Castle.

Many millionaire celebrities own mansions filled with expensive furniture, 24 hour room service, and staff waiting on every whim. For some of the celebrities, the homes I mentioned are just one of many, while they own another home to get away from it all.

Kendra Wilkinson, Millionaire Reality TV Star by Kate Johns




















Blond bombshell, reality television star, Kendra Wilkinson won over audiences with her bubbly, vivacious personality. Her beautiful body certainly doesn't hurt her chances of having a career as a long running reality television star, and a burgeoning movie star actress.
Here are the facts on how she became a millionaire TV star:

Kendra Wilkinson was one of the three beautiful, blond stars on the E! Reality TV show, "The Girls Next Door."
She was the girl who laughed very loudly, winning over audiences with her regular girl antics.
Kendra was born on June 12, 1985 in San Diego, California.

Her father left home when she was just four years old.
Kendra started out as a dental assistant in California.
She became famous after Hugh Hefner discovered her.
Hugh saw a picture of Kendra clad in a bikini, and knew she would become a beautiful Playboy model instantly. Hugh of course, knows what he is doing when it comes to picking out beautiful women.
Photographer, Kim Riley took the picture that sent Hugh into a state of Nirvana.
Soon after seeing Kendra's picture, Hugh Hefner, invited her to his birthday party in April 2004, where sparks flew between the pair.
Hugh invited Kendra to become his live-in girlfriend. History was made when the romance blossomed with two other gorgeous blonds moving into the Playboy Mansion, and the reality TV show, "The Girls Next Door" went on the air in 2005.
After the Girls Next Door TV show ended, Kendra went on to star in her own reality TV show, simply called, "Kendra".
Starring on her reality TV show, Kendra takes on regular life, living outside the Playboy mansion, as she learns how to fend for herself.
Kendra is very relaxed with her beautiful body, and shows it off many times on the reality TV show The Girls Next Door, while she poses for Playboy Magazine and other internationally renown magazines.
More fun facts about Kendra Wilkinson;
Kendra is passionate about sports.

She played softball for six years with the Claremont Bobby Sox team.
Kendra married Hank Baskett, the wide receiver for the Philadelphia Eagles in the summer of 2009.
Appearing in "Scary Movie 4" Kendra made the best of her small part.
The world knew Kendra was having a baby boy before the baby was even born, as Kendra told her TV audience, that she wanted to call the baby, "Little Hank", naming him after his father.
While pregnant, she told a national magazine that she had the best skin she ever had, and that before she was pregnant she had skin riddled with acne.
During her pregnancy she gained about forty pounds and still stunned the world with her curvaceous body.
She looks taller on TV then she really is. She is only five feet four inches tall, and her pre-pregnancy weight was 110 pounds.
Besides starring in her own reality TV shows, one day Kendra wants to be a massage therapist.
Settling down into married life, Kendra fans can't get enough of the bubbly, outgoing star. Maybe her next TV show will chronicle her marriage, her growing family, and her new career as a massage therapist.

Famous Celebrity Break ups by Kate Johns

Celebrity relationships--- if anything can be said they certainly keep us entertained with their romantic entanglements. From the days of Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton getting married, getting divorced and then repeating the process every few years, there are several high profile celebrity couples that keep repeating the let's get married, then divorced process. Some celebs just thrash about in a public arena, allowing us to see how ridiculous they really are:

LINDSAY LOHAN AND SAMANTHA RONSON

American actress, Lindsay Lohan has been a train wreck the last couple of years without a successful box office movie, and having her father Michael telling the media about her private life. Lindsay hooked up with DJ Samantha Ronson in 2008. The pair were seen at high profile L. A. clubs together being very friendly. They would spilt up and then facebook and tweet each other gushy gross sayings of how much they loved each other. Lindsay and Sam flip flopped back and forth so many times it was kind of like watching a tennis match. At this point in time they have broken up, but who knows if it will last.

JOHN MAYER AND JENNIFER ANISTON

A major notorious on again off again relationship was between singer John Mayer and actress Jennifer Aniston. The pair was seen kissing romantically in 2008. Then they called it splitsville in August of 2008 according to People.com. Several months later they went to the Oscar Awards together, and then called it quits in March.
Next we saw the couple had hooked up for a one- nightstand, at a four Season Hotel, with the duo photographed publicly leaving the Hotel. We even found out that John and Jennifer were texting each other like mad. Next we heard they were off again, and denied rumors of being an official couple. But according to People.com, they had a sleepover at New York City's Bowery Hotel, after breaking up. Of course we can add all the other dalliances John Mayer has engaged in---recently with Taylor Swift,who wrote a nasty song about him.

LEONARDO DI CAPRIO AND GISELE BUNDCHEN

Titanic star, Leonardo Di Caprio is famous with the ladies, as he has been a ladies man for many years now. He has dated Bar Rafaeli, Helena Christensen, Amber Valetta, and a score of famous super models. His most famous tryst was with Brazilian super model Gisele Bundchen. They were an on again, off again twosome for five years. . Leo is something of a flirt. When he would be out on a date with the gorgeous, super sexy Gisele, he would walk away and dance with another model, or wander away to flirt with another gorgeous woman. That didn't sit well with Gisele, and she would walk out on him, leaving him in the dust.
Leo would apologize and they would get back together. But. I guess he flirted one too many times, because Gisele dumped him and married Quarterback, Tom Brady.

PAMELA ANDERSON AND TOMMY LEE

Okay, let's see how many times did actress, Pamela Anderson, and drummer, Tommy Lee, end their relationship, and get back together? This is the couple that made that famous sex tape in 1998 and got divorced the same year. The pair had two sons together that are now in their teens. Pam and Tom most recently got back together in 2008, but called it splitsville soon after.

KIM KARDASHIAN AND REGGIE BUSH, AND KRIS HUMPHRIES, and.......

Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush went together for a while and then broke, up. Kim fell head over heals for the star running back of the New Orleans Saints in a big way. She said she would play it cool, but they ended up in bed after seeing each on their first get back date. Kim and Reggie went on several dates, and did what we all thought they would do---they broke up. This was all handled in a public arena on two of their reality TV shows, while Khloe got married, and Kourtney got pregnant. If you are confused, I only saw four episodes in the ER while waiting for a doctor to look at the fish bone stuck in my throat.

Celebrity couples, they mystify us with their Hollywood breakups, leaving major tabloid fodder, and broken hearts behind.

Selena Gomez bio by Kate Johns

My husband has a thing for Selena Gomez. He started saying she was hot in 2008, and continues saying this to this day. I reminded him that she is way too young for him. Besides, she's a young millionaire who only dates young millionaires, like Justin Beiber.

*Selena said in 2008, “I was very shy when I was little, and I learned everything from “Barney”. “The producers felt I was getting a little too old, so I got the boot.”
*Getting fired from Barney certainly didn’t ruin her acting career.
*In fact, it may have helped her get small parts in other TV shows.
*Gomez had bit parts on several Disney TV shows, like, “The Suite Life of Zach and Cody,” and the “Hannah Montana”, Disney TV series.
*She also had a small part in the movie, “Spy Kids3-D”, and on the TV series, “Walker, Texas Ranger.”
