Miami Waterfront Estate - $72.3 Million

David and Victoria Beckham have been calling Miami their second home for over ten years now. It looks like they’re really settling in after purchasing a stunning new estate in Miami Beach for $80 million. This modern mansion boasts nine bedrooms and 9.5 bathrooms, all spread out over 14,270 square feet. Plus, it has 124 feet of private waterfront, complete with its own dock.

Designed by Choeff Levy Fischman, the home beautifully blends indoor and outdoor living. It comes packed with amenities like a gym, spa, chef's kitchen, and a home theater. With twelve-foot ceilings and huge windows, the place is flooded with natural light, while tall palm trees in the landscaped yard ensure privacy. The outdoor area features a private pool and a rooftop space that offers breathtaking views of the ocean and city. It’s conveniently located just a 40-minute drive from the stadium of Inter Miami CF, the MLS team owned by David Beckham.

This new property adds to their Miami Beach collection, which already includes a $20 million penthouse designed by Zaha Hadid that they bought in 2020. The Beckhams also have other properties in the UK, like a $37.9 million Victorian home in Holland Park, London, which they purchased in 2013 and renovated for an additional $10 million. They sold their well-known "Beckingham Palace" estate in 2014, but they still hold onto the Victorian home that was featured in the Netflix documentary about Beckham.

Miami Indian Creek Island - $90 Million

Jeff Bezos just snagged a six-bedroom mansion in Indian Creek Village, Florida, for a whopping $90 million. This place is part of the ultra-exclusive community known as Billionaire Bunker and was bought off-market. Indian Creek Island is a man-made gem with only 41 high-end homes. Interestingly, this house was sold for just $2.5 million back in 1998.

The backyard boasts stunning views of Biscayne Bay, making it a prime waterfront spot. Bezos is now neighbors with some big names like Tom Brady, Ivanka Trump, and Jared Kushner. This mansion marks his third purchase on the island, adding to two other properties he picked up in 2023 for a total of $147 million. His first buy in June 2023 was a three-bedroom home that set him back $68 million.

Originally sold for $1.4 million in 1982, this 9,300-square-foot home has quite the history. Then in November, he added another mansion to his collection, shelling out $79 million for a massive 23,000-square-foot estate. This property sits on 80,000 square feet of land and features a wood-paneled library, a movie theater, a wine cellar, a wet bar, and a cabana house. All in all, Bezos has invested around $237 million in Indian Creek Island, making him one of the most notable residents there.

Santa Barbara Mansion - $96 Million

Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi sold their Carpinteria estate for a whopping $96 million in August 2024, raking in a cool $26 million profit after spending $70 million to put the property together just two years earlier. This sprawling estate covers 10 acres and consists of two parcels. At its heart is an 8,000-square-foot Tuscan-style mansion that boasts five bedrooms, eight bathrooms, charming exposed wooden beams, and stylish red brick details.

The property also features a cabana and a guest cottage. DeGeneres and de Rossi started their acquisition in 2022, first grabbing the mansion on a 3.44-acre lot for $41.7 million, then adding a 6.58-acre vacant lot for $28.2 million, ultimately creating a stunning 10-acre estate that overlooks the ocean from a bluff. The estate was previously owned by Bruce Kovner, a retired hedge fund manager who had put together a 22-acre compound and listed it for $160 million in 2021.

This sale marked the highest real estate transaction ever recorded in Santa Barbara County at that time. In February 2024, the couple also sold a Montecito mansion for $32 million, which was a drop from its initial $46.5 million asking price. Their knack for flipping high-end homes is well-known, as they added four properties and sold three in 2022 alone.

1. Tom Ford

Tom Ford's Chelsea Mansion - $104 Million

In November 2024, billionaire fashion designer and former Gucci creative director Tom Ford made headlines by buying a stunning mansion in Chelsea, London, for a whopping $104 million. This purchase marked the highest price ever paid for a home in the UK that year. The elegant white stucco mansion is conveniently located near Hyde Park and the River Thames, making it one of the most sought-after areas in the city.

The previous owner had snagged the property for just $20 million nearly 20 years ago, so they definitely made a nice profit selling it to Ford. Interestingly, this sale took place during a slump in London’s luxury real estate market, influenced by new tax reforms aimed at international buyers. According to the New York Post, American buyers have shown a growing interest in London properties, with their share of transactions jumping to 6.1% in the first half of 2024, up from 3.3% at the end of 2023.

Ford, who sold his fashion brand to Estée Lauder for $2.8 billion, boasts a real estate portfolio worth around $250 million. This new London home adds to his collection of eye-catching properties. His Los Angeles estate in Holmby Hills, valued at about $40 million, features beautiful gardens and a mid-century modern design that reflects his unique style. Ford has always had a passion for real estate, and his property purchases often attract as much buzz as his fashion lines.

The celebrity real estate market in 2024 has truly showcased the lavish lifestyles of the rich and famous. From Neymar's Dubai penthouse to Tom Ford's stunning London mansion, these transactions highlight not just wealth but a passion for unique and luxurious properties. Each purchase reflects the growing demand for exclusive homes in the world’s most coveted locations.
