Millionaires Who Live in Surprisingly Small, Modest Homes
45. Lena Dunham
Net Worth: $12 million*
Purchased For: $2.9 million*
Sq. Footage: 1,987-Square-Feet
Lena Dunham has been all around New York City. The Girls star has been in two different apartments in Brooklyn, and she bought a minimalist-style pad in the Gretsch Musical Instrument Factory in Williamsburg in 2018. Now, she calls West Village home.
Pictured here is Dunham’s former Brooklyn condo on 60 Broadway, which she bought for $2.9 million in 2018. She ended up selling the three-bedroom, two-and-a-half bathroom apartment for a loss of $300,000. However, she’s now in the place she loves, joking that she gets to be around “old people puttering” in the “health food store,” so perhaps the price cut was worth it.
46. Cameron Diaz
Net Worth: $140 million*
Purchased For: $4.25 million*
Sq. Footage: 1,400-Square-Feet
Cameron Diaz is another celebrity that has lived all around New York City. She packed up this pad, located in Greenwich Village, a few years ago, selling off the glam spot with a $4.25 million price tag. The apartment came with two bedrooms and two bathrooms.
One of its best features was the emerald kitchen cabinets, as well as the designer glass tiles in the bathroom and custom-designed glass closet. The square footage is just 1,400 square feet, but the apartment was still quite decadent and opulent, and the design, created by Kelly Wearstler, was reminiscent of Old Hollywood glam.
