The scale is beyond imagination! Let’s take a look at the latest “mansions” of foreign super celebrities.
Private beach, observation deck, library, movie theater, spa …… It is only natural for them to have first-class amenities in their home. From a newly built mansion that the world-famous model even had to take out a mortgage on to an expensive property that incorporates Japanese architectural beauty, these celebrities’ spending spree knows no bounds.
In the past, many celebrities were willing to buy old houses simply because they were “the house where a legend of the entertainment world once lived. Now, however, more and more people are building their ideal homes. One such example is Miranda Kerr’s (40) newly built mansion, which cost $145 million (approximately 21 billion yen). She is popular as a top model and is said to be paying a $50 million (about 7.2 billion yen) loan over 30 years,” says Akika Haranishi, an international celebrity writer.
The trend of renovating vintage properties used to be the standard, but recently, simple and sophisticated designs are being seen all over the place.
Beyonce (41) purchased the property for $200 million, making it the most expensive property ever sold in California and the second most expensive property ever sold in the United States. The previous owner, an art collector, commissioned renowned architect Tadao Ando to design the building, which took 15 years to construct. It is a mansion that can truly be called the pinnacle of “modernist architecture,” emphasizing empty spaces and pursuing simple beauty.
The cost of this mansion is nothing less than the sky-high price tag.
