It’s not a surprise to know that some of the world’s best, most expensive and swankiest homes belong to celebrities. Well, why not? They’ve got style, panache, the big bucks and access to some great home designers, right? It’ll be fun to check out what these homes look like.
1. Oprah Winfrey
Sometimes we wish we were hosting Oprah's show instead of her. Man, she's so rich! Wouldn't you love living in this mega estate with never-ending lawns, 14 bathrooms, ocean views, the largest green foliage in Santa Barbara and fountains in your backyard? We've heard that Oprah lives in this 52-acre estate in California when she's not at her other two luxurious homes in Chicago or Colorado. It makes us think, 'Does Oprah alone really need so much space?'

2. George Clooney
Who wouldn't love having a villa in Lake Como in Italy? Especially when it has 25 rooms, a swimming pool, an outdoor theater and a garage only for Mr. Clooney's motorcycles. Not only does this home look heavenly, the area around it is completely star-studded. Did you know that Donatella Versace lives nearby, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas are Clooney's regular guests, and some bits of 'Ocean Twelve' were shot there? Brangelina were also rumored to have wed there.

3. Nicole Kidman
A true blue secluded home this is. Australian superstar Nicole Kidman, husband Keith Urban and daughter Sunday Rose spend their time between Sydney and LA. When they are down under, they're chilling in their beautiful cattle station converted into a luxury home at Bunya Hill in Sutton Forest. This is a home with 10 marble fireplaces. We needn't say more, do we?

4. Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie
What would you do if you had as much money as Brangelina? You'd settle in the French Riviera to specially give birth to your own biological daughter in addition to other adopted kids and lease a 1000 acre, 70 million dollar Roman property! We can understand personalized gyms, swimming pools and private theaters but a three mile driveway just to get inside your home is way beyond our imagination. What do you think about this luxurious celebrity home?

5. Avril Lavigne
More than the mind blowing amounts that Avril Lavigne must have paid for this home, we're fans of the design of this beautiful mansion. Super furnished with all the luxuries of a typical celebrity home, Avril has surely made a great pad for herself. It is amusing to know that this Tuscan home was initially owned by Travis Barker, the Blink 182 Drummer. Cool ownership transfer, huh?
