Millionaires Who Live in Surprisingly Small, Modest Homes
27. Gwyneth Paltrow
Net Worth: $150 million*
Purchased For: $5.1 million*
Sq. Footage: 4,000-Square-Feet
The all-white décor of actress and Goop CEO Gwyneth Paltrow’s former Tribeca home has been described both as “ethereal” and “asylum-like.” If you like white, you’ll love it. The 4,000-square-foot apartment cost $10 million, mostly because it was a huge apartment right in the center of New York City.
The loft underwent quite a few price chops, as Paltrow first put it on the market for $14.25 million. It’s not like she’s taking a loss though. The Iron Man star and her ex-husband, Chris Martin, bought the loft for $5.1 million back in 2007. After the two split—“consciously uncoupled,” as Paltrow called it—the home went on the market.

We wouldn’t expect anything less than perfection from the star of Queer Eye, Bobby Berk. Berk designed a black-and-white dream apartment in 2020, and it was as stylish as you would imagine. He redesigned his own L.A. loft, a one-bedroom, into a light-filled, stylish place. The apartment is located in a historic building in downtown Los Angeles.
The building used to be the office for the Pacific Electric Company, and that means that, even though it is a one-bedroom apartment, it’s huge. Berk created an “organic, graphic, [and] sophisticated” look for the abode with the help of AllModern, a furniture e-tailer.
