10 of the Most Expensive Celebrity Homes on the Market that We Love

2) The Beverly Hills home belonging to talk-show host Dr. Phil, aka Phil McGraw, is priced at $16.5 million. Dr. Phil went ahead and bought another home nearby for $29.5 million without selling this one. "People rich enough to buy without selling first" -- now there's a Dr. Phil show if we ever heard of one, assuming the producers could find someone besides McGraw still able to do it.



3) Christie Brinkley's Sag Harbor home is on the market for $15.75 million. No, she doesn't come with it for that price, but the North Haven home was built in 1843 and sits on 4.5 lovely acres. The harbor front home, with 5,500 square feet, has massive columns and includes tons of period details including wide-plank old pine floors that always send my heart a pitter-pattering. The property includes a sandy beach with 327 feet of water frontage overlooking the harbor. Wait! Does she have more beachfront than Billy Joel? Yeah, and she's taller too. The two were married from 1985-1994. We have scorecards if anyone needs them.


4) Burt Reynolds is one of the sexist guys in Hollywood and don't argue otherwise or I'll just plug my thumbs in my ears and start singing "la-la-la-la-la-la" and won't hear you anyway. His Florida house, well, that's another story. Listed at $15 million back in the realty Stone Age (2005) and then chased the market down to the point it is listed at $8.995 million, according to Realtor.com. Maybe it's time for Mr. Smokey and the Bandit to consider something even more drastic? Heck, this is Florida, where they pretty much are giving away houses for the contents of your piggybank. Just sayin: Sometimes the sexy ones aren't the smart ones. For the record, the Old-Florida-style estate sits on more than three acres and borders a wildlife refuge. The house has five bedrooms, a pool with a gazebo and waterfall, a boat dock and a heli-pad (perhaps for the rather large Floridian mosquitoes to safely land?



5) Christina Aguilera's Hollywood Hills home just had a price drop to $5.995 million. It's another one that's been on the market so long that cobwebs have formed on the listing agreement. She might want to talk to Burt Reynolds about what happens to homes if you don't get out in front of the downwardly spirally market. Aguilera moved to a tonier Beverly Hills address shortly before listing the home she lived in before she became a mom.


6) Joan Rivers may have sold her $25 million New York City place, but she's still got her New Milford Connecticut estate listed at $5.9 million. Joan, who was headed west to be near her daughter Melissa, is an acquired taste. Her home has far more generic appeal but generic is the operative word here.


7) Mel Gibson's familial home in the Serra Retreat neighborhood of Malibu is on the market at $14.5 million. Known as the Lavender Hill Farm, the name certainly suggests a happier time in the Melmeister's life. We are personally most grateful that he has managed to plug Oksana Grigorieva's leaks of his tirades that she secretly recorded. Dang it was tiresome to hear each day's installment, although it is kind of amusing that Oksana now thinks Mel should pay for her publicist who apparently helped leak them. Only in L.A., my friends, only in L.A. Anyway, his ex-wife Robyn lives in this 10-bedroom house, which has fruit orchards, organic gardens and is serene and beautiful and about as far away from Mel as a place can be.


8) I'm partial to any home redone by the Hollywood Royal of Historical Restorations (and I don't mean Brad Pitt). This Spanish Colonial Revival home meticulously redone by Diane Keaton is a beauty. Listed currently at $10.95 million in Beverly Hills, the 7 bedroom home was built by architect Ralph Flewelling in 1927. It was featured in Architectural Digest in 2008.

9) Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson must like his dollars halved. That, or he got realistic about the Farmington Connecticut real estate market. He slashed the asking price on his home there from $18.9 million to $10.9 million, according to Trulia. He bought the house from boxer Mike Tyson. The contemporary home sits on 17 acres and has a pond, pool and basketball court. Lots of marble, natural light and all the other goodies you'd expect to find.




10) Just to prove we do leave the two coasts on occasion, singer Sheryl Crow's getaway in College Grove Tennessee is also a favorite. Listed at $7.5 million, this "solar farm" is an equestrian facility in a pastoral setting. And it's got a pretty cool music studio, as one might expect, as well.
