Millionaires Who Live in Surprisingly Small, Modest Homes
25. Kesha
Net Worth: $5 million*
Purchased For: $1.4 million*
Sq. Footage: 4,761-Square-Feet
Considering how Kesha talks about brushing her teeth with a bottle of Jack Daniels, you might not expect the pop star to live in an abode as serene and peaceful as her Nashville home, which she put on the market for $1.45 million. She bought the one-acre property in the fall of 2010, and her renovation is Zen-inspired.
The home has a wraparound deck, fountain, and pool. It has four bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, and measures 4,761 square feet—not exactly the huge, sprawling mansion that we see from other pop stars. The Nashville home is surrounded by Forest Acres, a peaceful, wooded enclave, making it the perfect retreat from the hustle and bustle of the music world.
26. John Legend & Chrissy Teigen
Net Worth: $50 million*
Purchased For: $2.495 million*
Sq. Footage: 2,200-Square-Feet
Chrissy Teigen and John Legend spent around seven years in this midcentury modern home in the Hollywood Hills. Though the Hollywood power couple lives in a $23 million mansion now, the couple’s prior residence was worth just $2.495 million.
The three-bedroom home measured 2,200 square feet, and Teigen and Legend totally renovated it after they bought it. The home comes with a high-tech recording studio, beautiful landscaping, and peaceful décor (as you can see from the picture). The two sold the house in 2014, and the new owner recently listed the house for around $2.495 million, which isn’t bad for the Hills.
