Millionaires Who Live in Surprisingly Small, Modest Homes
14. Lana Del Rey
Net Worth: $30 Million*
Purchased For: $1.17 Million*
Sq. Footage: 1,200-Square-Feet*
Lana Del Rey has collaborated with stars like Ariana Grande, The Weekend, and Miley Cyrus. She has released 8 studio albums and has traveled all over the world, performing her music for legions of adoring fans. Along the way, Lana has built up her net worth to around $30 million, and yet, she still lives in a smaller than expected house.
Recently, Lana Del Rey closed the deal on a $1.17 million 1,200-square-foot cottage in L.A. Echo Park. Originally built in 1911, and hidden amongst the foliage, this newly renovated 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom home is the perfect getaway place for this ‘Stargirl’ to get back to nature.
15. Taraji P. Henson
Net Worth: $25 Million*
Purchased For: $431,000*
Sq. Footage: 1,400-Square-Feet*
Largely due to her roles in Person of Interest and Empire, Taraji P. Henson has earned quite a living. She has made, approximately,, $25 million throughout her career and, now, lives in a $2.7 million Hollywood Hills mansion. But she hasn’t always lived the lifestyle of the rich and famous.
From 2002-2011, Taraji P. Henson lived in a 1,400-square-foot home in Glendale, California that set her back less than half of a million dollars. After not living in that home for, almost, a decade, Taraji P. Henson has decided to rent out the 2 bedroom house that she once paid $435,000 for. If anyone’s interested, she’s charging about $3,700 a month – given the area, that’s quite a bargain.
