Beyonce, Oprah Winfrey, Tom Cruise and more: Here's a look at most expensive Hollywood homes
Ever wondered who owns the most expensive mansion in Hollywood? From power couple Beyonce and Jay-Z to heavyweights like Oprah Winfrey, Tom Cruise and Kim Kardashian, the A-listers in the entertainment industry stay in some of the ultra-luxurious properties, which are more than mere houses. They are considered as the symbol of success. The billionaire couple are proud owners of a 30,000 sq ft property in Malibu, which sits on eight acres of land that overlooks the Pacific Ocean. They are believed to have spent around a whopping $200 million on the mansion, according to Hello! magazine. Designed by Japanese master architect Tadao Ando, the property was previously owned by William 'Bill' Bell Jr., an art collector. Apart from this, they also own a mansion in Bel Air, situated around 21 miles away. Purchased in the summer of 2017, they paid nearly $88 million for the mansion and reports suggest that the family of five spend the majority of their time here. Having a net worth of $3.1 billion, as per Forbes, Winfrey generated most of her fortune from her hit talk show that ran for 25 years until 2011. Her real estate portfolio includes multiple houses in California as well as more than a dozen other properties, including 2,100 acres of land in Hawaii. One of her highly popular homes is the 'Promised Land', which is located in California's Montecito. She paid nearly $50 million for this property, which is spread over 42 acres and includes a 23,000-square-foot Georgian-style house as well as an outdoor area for pool, tennis court and other things. The Mission Impossible star once owned an enormous compound in Telluride, Colorado, which he sold for $39.5 million in 2021. This property served as a backdrop when he and former partner Katie Holmes introduced their daughter, Suri, in 2006. It boasts a main house with 10,000 square feet of space, featuring four big bedrooms. Also, there is a separate guest house with three rooms. According to a report, Kim Kardashian's dream to complete her home is nearing its end as several photographs revealed that the Hidden Hills, California, mansion has witnessed a dramatic transformation. Originally purchased for $20 million in 2014, Kardashian was married to rapper Kanye West at that time. The couple parted ways in 2022. In 2018, her mother Kris Jenner insisted that the property was worth $60 million. Kylie Jenner keeps sharing photographs of her lavish $36.5 million home in Holmby Hills, Los Angeles, on social media. Purchased in 2020, the property has seven bedrooms and 14 bathrooms. Interestingly, the house was originally listed for $55 million, but Kylie managed to get a $18.5 million discount on the same.

Sean Diddy Combs verdict: 5 times rapper topped the list of highest-paid artists globally
Sean Diddy Combs has been convicted of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution but was acquitted of more serious charges, including sex trafficking and racketeering. According to Variety, while the rapper and entrepreneur still faces significant prison time, the partial acquittal came as a relief to his legal team. Some even called it the best outcome he could have hoped for short of a full acquittal. But long before courtrooms and controversy, Diddy was dominating headlines for another reason - money. The Bad Boy Records founder turned his fame into one of the most successful entertainment brands in the world. Over the years, Combs repeatedly topped global income lists, often out-earning his peers by millions. 2017: $130 million - highest-paid celebrity worldwide In June 2017, Forbes named Combs the highest‑paid entertainer globally, estimating his pre‑tax earnings at $130 million from June 2016 to June 2017. His income came from the Bad Boy Family Reunion Tour, his ongoing deal with Cîroc vodka, and the sale of part of his Sean John clothing line 2017: Highest-paid musician - ahead of Beyoncé and Drake Just months later, Forbes also listed him as the world's highest‑paid musician for 2017. He pulled in that same $130 million, surpassing fellow heavyweights like Beyoncé and Drake. 2016: Major celebrity earnings Back in June 2016, Forbes included Combs at No. 22 on its Celebrity 100 list, with an annual income of $62 million-a figure driven by endorsements and music ventures. Diddy was again named the richest hip‑hop artist in 2014 by Forbes, tied with Jay-Z. At that time, his diversified holdings in music, vodka, fashion, and media pushed him to the top of the hip‑hop wealth rankings. 2013: Leading hip‑hop's highest earners Forbes also ranked Combs as the top earner in hip‑hop for 2013, estimating he brought in $50 million that year-primarily from Cîroc, television, and his Sean John fashion label Now, his future hangs in the balance. According to Variety, the defence has requested Combs' release ahead of sentencing, offering a $1 million bond. Prosecutors pushed back, calling the request inappropriate and warning that Combs poses a continued threat. Assistant US Attorney Maurene Comey argued that Combs has shown disregard for US law, referencing the abuse and drug use mentioned during the trial. Judge Arun Subramanian has asked both sides to submit their final positions in writing by 1 pm ET. He will then decide whether Combs can remain free ahead of sentencing. The verdict followed a lengthy eight-week trial, during which 34 witnesses testified against the 54-year-old music producer. In 2017, Diddy topped Forbes' list of the highest-paid entertainers, earning $130 million through music, business ventures, and endorsement deals. Diddy's wealth comes from various sources including his Cîroc vodka partnership, the Sean John clothing line, Bad Boy Records, Revolt TV, and music tours. Yes. In 2017, he was also named the highest-paid musician globally, out-earning stars like Beyoncé and Drake.

Sean 'Diddy' Combs net worth: From cars and properties to endorsement - Here's a look at the rapper's earnings
Billboard‑style beat, big business, and massive investments: Sean 'Diddy' Combs transformed his hip‑hop fame into a sweeping empire over the years. At his peak, Forbes pegged him at around $740 million in 2019, fueled by his Sean John fashion line, Cîroc vodka partnership, and Revolt TV media platform. His holdings span vinyl and ventures included the likes of Bad Boy Records, Bad Boy Entertainment, and stretched into Miami and Los Angeles estates. He also owned a private jet, top‑tier artwork, plus stakes in tech and hospitality via a company known as Combs Enterprises. But legal headwinds and civil suits have shaved off nearly $340 million since. As of recent months, Forbes estimates his net worth at roughly US$400 million, which is still substantial, but a sharp decline from his billionaire aspirations. A federal sweep, indictments, and trial shake the Diddy brand. On July 2, 2025, a jury found Combs guilty on two counts of transporting partners and escorts for prostitution under the Mann Act, but cleared him of racketeering and sex‑trafficking charges, which could have carried life sentences. The mixed verdict came after 34 witnesses testified during seven weeks of proceedings in Manhattan, according to a People report. Appeals and bail hearings are expected, but even the lesser convictions expose him to nearly a decade behind bars, and possibly the end of his public career, says an AP recent guilty, yet mixed verdict might spare Diddy from lifelong incarceration, yet the consequences are serious. He faces up to 20 years in prison if both prostitution counts are stacked. Legal experts predict he could receive a shorter sentence, perhaps around a year or two, given the sentencing guidelines and his acquittal on the more severe charges, according to reports. Still, conviction carries collateral damage: brand deals like Cîroc ended in 2023 after fallout over legal credibility, and Bad Boy's operations and value are under fresh threat.
