The place you live is your sanctuary and you naturally do whatever it takes to ensure that your home reflects your nature and lifestyle and in turn offers the kind of ambience you’re comfortable with. Well, that’s exactly what celebrities do, albeit with big bucks involved. Many of them go the whole hog to create cribs that are less homes and more mansions capable of housing large parties of guests and still ensuring everyone’s privacy.

Many of the best celebrity homes are situated on estates that cover several acres, the houses themselves occupying several thousand square feet. While some have used all that space to recreate a mini paradise for themselves, others have gone ahead and turned their homes into extravagant yet tasteless retreats. Obviously though, it’s the best ones you’ll want to hear about.

Afternoon TV queen, Oprah has a massive 23,000 sqft mansion that sits on a sprawling 42 acre lot that she’s named Oprah’s Hearst Castle. While the landscape includes a man-made lake filled with rare species of fish, and a Montecito sandstone brick driveway, the house itself is a six bed, 14 bath affair that also includes a home theater and ten different fireplaces. Winfrey’s home is situated in Santa Barbara, CA.

Let’s now jump to Vancover, Canada and Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell’s home for a short time. The couple who moved here to be able to cheer their son on in his fledgling hockey career bought this Tudor style home with five bedrooms, a theater room and a gym, apart from an entrance that contains a kitchen, a couple of dens, a fireplace, a secluded yard as well as a coach house. That’s not all: the house has a large sized formal living room, a dining room,a dressing room attached to the master suite as well as a marvelous conservatory. Eleven fireplaces work to keep this large home warm and welcoming.

Let’s now head to Laglio in Italy, the small town where George Clooney owns a stunning villa with twenty-five rooms, a pool, and a garage large enough to house Clooney’s many motorbikes. He claims to love the villa a lot spending as much of his free time there entertaining the likes of Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas. The villa has also been used to film a few scenes for Ocean’s Twelve.

Jerry Seinfeld’s home since 2000, is also one we ought not to end this article without mentioning. Purchased by Seinfeld from Billy Joel, this mansion is situated in New York’s East Hampton. Seinfeld paid a whopping $32 million for this Tudor mansion built on the waterfront. Set on 14 acres, the home consists of three buildings that together contain 24 rooms, 8 baths (and an additional 5 half-baths), pools both indoors and outdoors, a bowling alley, a gym, a tennis court, a music room, a cottage for guests, a wine cellar and a smoking bar.
