Millionaires Who Live in Surprisingly Small, Modest Homes
23. Elliott Page
Net Worth: $12 Million*
Purchased For: $885,000*
Sq. Footage: Unknown
Whether for his starring roles, films he’s produced, or tabloids he’s headlined, Elliott Page has been making waves for almost 20 years. One thing this Canadian celebrity has not done, however, is let the fame go to his head. Through it all he’s remained grounded – which is evident by his lack of heedless spending.
Even after an Academy Award nomination, and a handful of follow-up blockbuster roles, that aided in his $12 million net worth, Elliott Page still opted to live in the $885,000 Studio City, Los Angeles home that he bought in 2011. In 2014, however, he sold the home for $1.05 million and bought Venus Williams’ old home in the Hollywood Hills, for which, he paid a little more than $2 million – which, considering the location, still isn’t very much.
24. Jack White
Net Worth: ~$55 Million*
Purchased For: $510,000*
Sq. Footage: Unknown
Following the divorce from his second wife, in 2013, it only took a few years for Jack White to make the decision to relocate himself, from Nashville, and back to the State of his birth, Michigan. After making the move, it didn’t take Jack very long to find the house of his dreams, and, for it, he was willing to pay more than 13% over the asking price.
All up, the house that White’s moved into in Kalamazoo, Michigan, set him back a measly $510,000, but what drew Jack to this house, specifically, was its fascinating architecture that the former owner, the well-known industrial designer, Georgia Nelson, was responsible for.
