The “six degrees of separation” theory seems to ring especially true in Hollywood, but celebrity homes are connection points just as often as movies, musical collaborations, or even romantic relationships. The rich and famous have the means to buy and sell opulent homes on a regular basis, meaning that some of the most lavish, coveted residences in the Los Angeles area rack up an impressive lineage of celebrity owners after a while.
Here, we’ve compiled the latest unexpected connections to emerge from the Tinseltown real estate records. Enjoy your trip down the celebrity-homes rabbit hole!
Justin Bieber to Khloe Kardashian to YouTube star Dhar Mann
Fans of Keeping Up With the Kardashians are well-acquainted with Khloe Kardashian’s former Calabasas home, a sprawling Tuscan-style villa featuring a cavernous walk-in closet made of two former guest rooms. What fans might not realize, however, is that the 9,320-square-foot house also has quite the celebrity pedigree. It originally belonged to Eddie Murphy’s ex-wife, Nicole, who sold it to Justin Bieber for $6.5 million in April 2012. Kardashian purchased the mansion from Bieber for $7.2 million in 2014. The Good American founder then spent a substantial amount of money customizing the place (it was featured on the cover of Architectural Digest in March 2016, alongside her sister Kourtney’s sprawling estate) before selling it to YouTube star Dhar Mann for $15.5 million toward the end of 2020.
Selena Gomez to French Montana
Selena Gomez decided to kiss Calabasas goodbye in late 2015, listing her Mediterranean-style mansion for $4.495 million. A few months later, rapper French Montana snagged the five-bedroom home for $3.3 million. He made significant upgrades to the place, adding a $400,000 recording studio and painting over Gomez’s purple and turquoise walls with more neutral tones. The “Ain’t Worried About Nothin” rapper recently sold the home for $5 million.
