Hollywood’s Golden Era Stars Who Live In Houses More Luxurious Than Any A-list Celebrity
Tom Selleck – Price Unknown, Bay Ridge
Tom Selleck has made a fair number of houses quite famous, but not precisely by living there! After his roles on TV shows like Magnum P.I as well as his current show Blue Bloods, the places where his characters lived during the shows have made the news. Such was the case with the home in Hawaii portrayed on Magnum P.I. which went on the market for $15M. The place depicted here is the home of Officer Frank Reagan, which is the role Selleck plays in the long-running TV show. The backyard of his own home probably looks very different as he has made an investment in growing avocados!

Max Baer Jr. reached fame for his role in The Beverly Hillbillies which was definitely the highest point of his acting career. After that, he decided to develop a business plan that was mostly based on his past show, attempting to open a casino, which unfortunately didn’t go very well for him. At 81 years of age, he is the only surviving member of the cast. He bought a house in Nevada and has lived there for the past years, away from the spotlight after working not only as an actor but also as a producer and director.

Country music icon Dolly Parton put her place in Nashville up for sale at $1.2M. With 2.4 acres, the estate belonged to Dolly for more than two decades and she lived there with her husband Carl Dean. The year 2019 has so far been a good period for Dolly. She was honored with a special gala in February and then appeared in the Grammys, singing her iconic song Jolene together with Miley Cyrus, for which Dolly was much acclaimed. Dolly keeps looking radiant at 73 and she has said without any shame that plastic surgery has certainly gotten her where she is looking as awesome as she does. And she certainly looks good!
Matt Lauer – $44 million, The Hamptons
With 12 bedrooms, a private pool and its own dock, this Hampton’s mansion is a vast property. After his terrible fall from grace in 2017, Matt Lauer used this home as his escape. However, in 2019, he decided it was time to put it on the market for $44 million. Quite an increase from the original $36 million he paid for it. Lauer was the host of the Today show for ten years; this all ended after he was accused of improper behavior at the workplace. The network fired Lauer after investigating the allegations. Furthermore, new accusations emerged in October 2019, which Lauer has denied.
Herman Wouk – $2.4 Million, Palm Springs, California

Writing bestselling and Pulitzer-worthy books can certainly make you a millionaire. Take the case of Herman Wouk. Through his great work that reached millions of people, he amassed millions in his savings and managed him to acquire this gorgeous home in Palm Springs. He put the place up for sale for $2.4M after owning it for more than 40 years. He bought a smaller but equally comfortable home where he now spends his days. Wouk will turn 104 years old in May 2019 –yeah, you heard that right – and is, without a doubt, still a living legend.
Billy Connolly – $4.75 Million, New York

Billy Connolly might be known for his comedic talent but when it comes to his home, he takes matters very seriously. His $4.7-million home in Manhattan’s Fifth Avenue is a testament to that. However, he opted to sell it after he got diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease and decided to go for warmer weathers. However, he hasn’t abandoned the city completely. In fact, he will be leading the annual Tartan Parade in New York. It’s quite appropriate considering that Bill was born in Scotland and that one of the reasons he moved to the US from Scotland was to be closer to his daughters. But he keeps Scottish traditions at the forefront!
