When it comes to the average property and its design, there are a few things that you can always expect, such as a stylish open-plan kitchen. For the richer market, they can afford a pool or even a home theatre. But when it comes to celebrities, this tends to be more extravagant than just a swimming pool. To the point where you can clearly understand that they don’t know where to spend their money.
A celebrity’s home is more than just a place where they live with a bed and a walk-in wardrobe. It goes far beyond that, with shark-filled aquariums to even a small enclosure for a pet crocodile. A-list celebrities have proven that there is no limit to what they can have in their home.
In this article, we are going to explore the weird and wonderful features that an A-list celebrity would have in their property.
A Home Waterpark
Surprisingly, there are celebrities who have actual waterparks in their homes. Celine Dion is one of those who thought she was better than just a swimming pool, and we must admit, she certainly is. We are not sure how much use she got out of her wonderful celebrity waterpark that had a number of water slides, a lazy river, bridges, and even water cannons.
If you have the money for a home waterpark, then it is certainly worth considering because you don’t need to worry about those large crowds that you see at your average waterpark. This was clearly a childhood dream of Dion’s, and she certainly fulfilled it.
Rooms Dedicated to Their Hobbies
A lot of celebrity homes will feature gyms, wine cellars, cinema rooms and more. But when it comes to other celebrities, they enjoy the extraordinary. For example, the late Zsa Zsa Gabor had a room that was dedicated to her collection of wigs. This room was arguably an art gallery for faux hair.
Rod Stewart is someone else who went over the top. He built a full-sized football pitch on his property for both personal enjoyment and charitable football matches. Yes, you will often see a tennis court at a celebrity’s property, but one thing that you will rarely see is a football pitch.
Personal Zoo’s
Now that we have mentioned personal zoos, you are probably jogging your memory with what celebrities have had as exotic animals as pets. One of the first things that might come to your mind is Michael Jackson’s Neverland Ranch. Here they had a zoo, an amusement park, and a movie theatre.
Another one that you will certainly remember is Mike Tyson owning a tiger at his home with custom-built enclosures. He’s actually one of the most iconic celebrities who has owned an exotic animal.
Many celebrities have gone the extra mile in their home, including floor-to-ceiling saltwater tanks that include rare fish, coral and in some cases, sharks and stingrays. They are not just for show either, they have to have complex systems such as water filtration, temperature control, and even aquatic specialists that help to clean them.
Underground Complexes and Secret Tunnels
Up next is something that you could say is more common than the other honourable mentions; however, it can still be out of the ordinary. Some celebrities have considered having underground tunnels as a part of their homes. On top of this, you’ve also had billionaires who have created an “apocalypse bunker” underneath their property. It even had blast doors fitted along with self-sustaining systems. Even the Kardashians have gone extravagant with discreet staff corridors that ensure their home keeps running smoothly without the home looking too busy. Then you have the stars that have secret rooms installed behind a bookcase or even artwork. It is certainly something that not many people have in their property, so it is certainly for the richer people.
Over-The-Top Themed Rooms
There are some celebrities who also dedicate rooms to specific styles or follow a certain theme. These may not appear out of the ordinary compared to the other features; however, they definitely are unique and are something that you wouldn’t come across in your average home. Sheryl Crow is a great example here, as she had a recording studio that would also have retro radios, barn doors, and reclaimed wood.
For the movie nerds, even the actors and directors are quite nerdy at times. This includes rooms that have stuck to classical films, sci-fi universes, and even steampunk aesthetics. Now, they are not just carefully put together with decorations. They go all out with intricate props, custom-made furniture and even theatrical lights. There are so many designs that you can follow too, especially with the number of films that there are.
Bathrooms That Feel Like A Spa
Now, this is a particular design feature that we can all dream of, but we simply cannot afford. Having a luxury bathroom in the style of a spa is surely everybody’s dream. Some celebrities will have their mansions with rainforest-style spas as their bathroom. In the background, they will have the sounds of the weather and even automated mist. Even some bathrooms would include heated stone floors. Additionally, you get tubs carved from single marble blocks, and even mirror systems that adjust the colour depending on the room temperature. These are certainly a magical haven that everybody wants in their room.
Automotive Shrines
Up next is a car collection, and this is certainly just for those who are wealthier than the average person. However, it is unlikely that they would drive all of these cars that they have in their garage. The floors will be well-polished and have a glossy finish. The lighting will be very bright and strategically placed so it highlights the curves and chrome of the room.
For those who wish to go the extra mile with their automotive shrines, they will have rotating platforms for the vehicles. In fact, some will even have them behind glass walls for their vehicles so they can be seen wherever they are in their homes.
Summary
There are so many weird and wonderful features that someone can have in their home. To the point where it is completely personal to them. Some properties would even have regular lift servicing for their home lift, which takes them from one floor to another. There is so much that can be seen in a celebrity’s home that would be beyond your imagination.
