The 10 Most Expensive Celebrity Real Estate Deals of 2025

Mark Wahlberg kicked off the year with one of its splashiest buys, dropping $37 million on a sprawling South Florida estate inside Delray Beach’s ultra-exclusive Stone Creek Ranch—often dubbed the area’s own Billionaires’ Row. Known as Palazzo di Lago, the Aldo Stark–designed mansion spans roughly 26,000 square feet and last asked $45 million before Wahlberg and his wife Rhea Durham scooped it up, furnishings and all.

Built for next-level entertaining, the seven-bedroom home mixes lacquered wood, walnut, stone, and Italian gray marble with headline-grabbing perks like a cigar lounge with advanced air filtration, a plush theater, an auto gallery, and a primary suite complete with mother-of-pearl floors and a hidden safe room. Outside, the 2.5-acre grounds read like a private resort, with a lagoon-style pool, lighted tennis court, and even a life-size chessboard.

Jake Paul pulled off one of the year’s most unexpected real estate power moves, quietly closing on Southlands, a legendary Georgia sporting plantation, for $39 million. Spanning nearly 5,700 acres in Decatur County, the April deal ranks among the largest recreational land transactions in state history—and was largely funded by Paul’s winnings from his 2024 boxing match against Mike Tyson.

The property’s pedigree runs deep. Assembled nearly a century ago by conservationist Herbert Stoddard, Southlands has passed through industrialists and philanthropists before landing with Paul. Today, it offers 4.5 miles of Lake Seminole frontage, a stocked fishing lake, duck ponds, irrigated fields, and miles of spring-fed creeks. An eight-bedroom lodge anchors the estate, joined by guesthouses, staff residences, and long private roads threading through pine forest.

Robbie Williams made waves in South Florida with a $40 million waterfront buy in Coral Gables, setting a new price record for the tightly held Old Cutler Bay enclave. The British pop star is reportedly relocating his family of six to Florida after selling his Beverly Hills mansion to Drake for $75 million.

The nearly 19,400-square-foot smart home sits on a one-acre peninsula with 435 feet of water frontage and its own private dock. The property last traded in 2022 when it sold for $21.5 million to attorney Anthony Lopez and his fiancée, Dr. Nicole Martin, a former Real Housewives of Miami cast member, before undergoing a two-year gut renovation—more than doubling in value by the time Williams arrived. Inside, the seven-bedroom estate balances everyday comfort with full-scale entertaining, complete with a cinema, a gym and massage suite, a bar, a wine cellar, and a chef’s kitchen stocked with three Sub-Zero fridge freezers. Plans are already in motion for a major expansion, including a guest pavilion that could double as a recording studio.

The Weeknd went big in Coral Gables this fall, spending $50 million on a Mediterranean-style waterfront mansion set on 1.24 acres. The estate offers nearly 19,000 square feet of interior space and an eye-popping 574 feet of water frontage—plenty of room for both privacy and spectacle. Eight bedrooms, nine bathrooms, and seamless indoor-outdoor entertaining areas round out the ultra-luxury package.

George Lucas kept things characteristically quiet with a $52.3 million purchase in London’s prestigious St. John’s Wood neighborhood. Details remain tightly under wraps, but the acquisition underscores London’s continued pull for legacy-level wealth—and suggests the Star Wars creator isn’t done collecting trophy properties on a global scale.

Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo notched one of the year’s biggest celebrity sales, unloading their Montecito estate, Oakview, for $60 million. The couple bought the Georgian-style property in 2022 for $52 million and tapped AD100 firm Clements Design for a top-to-bottom renovation before selling this fall.

Originally built for actor Rob Lowe, the 13,300-square-foot estate spans more than three acres and includes a main house, guesthouse, and pool house. Inside, classic architecture meets modern indulgence—think a La Cornue kitchen, private gym, theater, wine cellar, and catering kitchen. Outdoors, it’s pure California fantasy with pergola-shaded dining, a pizza oven, Baja-shelf pool, sports court, veggie gardens, and even a chicken coop.

Jeff Bezos made Washington real estate history with the $63 million sale of his waterfront Hunts Point estate—the most expensive home sale the state has ever seen. Bought in 2019 for $37.5 million, the exit marked a sizable win for the Amazon founder.

Designed by Olson Kundig architect Jim Olson, the modern, concrete-and-glass residence sits on more than three acres along Lake Washington. Inside the roughly 9,400-square-foot home are dramatic entertaining spaces, a spa-like primary suite with a Japanese soaking tub, and a rooftop terrace. A massive dock accommodates boats—and seaplanes. The sale comes as Bezos continues pouring money into South Florida, where he’s spent more than $200 million assembling a compound on Indian Creek Island.

Paris Hilton made headlines with a $63.1 million buy inside Beverly Park, snapping up Marky Mark’s former megamansion in one of Los Angeles’s most guarded enclaves. Custom-built by Wahlberg and designed by Richard Landry, the six-acre compound totals roughly 30,500 square feet and reads like a private resort masquerading as a house. Highlights include a grand limestone foyer with a bridal staircase, a two-story paneled library, dual-island kitchen, and a primary suite with balconies and fireplaces. Outside, the amenities go full fantasy mode with a five-hole golf course with driving range, a grotto pool with slides, sports court, skate park, and guesthouse.

Mark Zuckerberg quietly expanded his already massive Kauai footprint this year, spending at least $65 million to acquire roughly 1,000 additional acres. The purchases brought his total landholdings on the island to more than 2,300 acres and pushed the estimated value of the estate to around $300 million. First assembled in 2014, Zuckerberg’s Koʻolau Ranch has evolved into a highly secured, largely self-sufficient compound with guesthouses, pools, tennis courts, gym and spa facilities, and a growing network of structures designed to accommodate extended family, guests, and staff.

Topping the list is Byron Allen, who closed the year’s most expensive celebrity deal with the $82.5 million sale of his full-floor condo at 220 Central Park South—the priciest New York City residential transaction of 2025 so far. Allen bought the 6,600-square-foot residence in 2023 for $75 million, walking away with a swift profit. The five-bedroom home occupies an entire floor of Robert A.M. Stern’s limestone-clad tower and delivers sweeping Central Park views, a grand living room, formal dining room, wine room, private library, and two terraces. The buyer was an LLC tied to Huizenga Holdings, the investment firm founded by the late H. Wayne Huizenga.
