The world of celebrities and the rich and famous have always been a source of curiosity and interest for the public; we like to know where they live, where they entertain, who their friends are, and where they shop. Many celebrities and their wealthy counterparts do indeed use their wildly high income to purchase only the best for themselves. However, there are some rich and famous out there who earn a large sum and are worth even more but decide to lead more modest lifestyles. Instead of multi-million dollar palatial surroundings, these celebs decided to live in more humble digs that are far more fitting for the size of their families (if they have one). Now, do not get us wrong, the homes may be more modest but they are far from the average living arrangements. These homes are large, beautiful and surely in the best of areas, they just are not the giant mansions we are used to seeing celebrities live in.
Jennifer Garner
Following her divorce with her ex Ben Affleck, Jen decided to buy herself an empty lot in Brentwood California where she built a modest family home for her and her kids. Instead of an elaborate Hollywood mansion, her home is modest with just enough room for her and the kids.
On holidays it isn’t unusual to catch the family decorating the house with decorations. It’s obvious that even though the house is modest by celebrity standards, this house is a real family home.
Christina Ricci
Christina Ricci has been in the public eye most of her life, starting her acting career at a young age. At present, she is thought to be worth around $18 million, which is a very nice net worth when most of us do not hit the million mark.
Christina, however, decided not to go over the top with her home and instead opting for a $1.5 million home that she could easily afford and maintain. Many people still consider this an expensive home, but when you are worth $18 million, that is the definition of modesty and we love her responsible nature.
John Krasinski
Prior to meeting and marrying actress Emily Blunt, John Krasinski owned a bachelor pad that he left quite unfurnished for the majority of the time as he was often traveling.
His old bachelor pad had two bedrooms and two bathrooms, which is a small spot for all intents and purposes when you make the kind of money that can afford you something quite a bit larger. John and Emily live in a house that is quite a bit larger since they also have children.
Simon Helberg
The Big Bang Theory alum, who wowed us as Howard Wolowitz on the sitcom, is worth around $45 million due to his long stint on the show. Along with his growing fandom and income, Simon wanted to finally find a place to settle into.
He bought this modest home for $950,000. He did not live there long and has since moved into a larger home with his wife and kids, but this first home is the one to remember.
Pete Wentz
Pete Wentz is not your typical rock star. The Fall Out Boy musician never did the rock star over-indulgence that we see in most, especially in their home selection. Pete bought a $1 million home when he first started earning the big bucks.
The home has since been sold has Pete got married and started a family, but even today, the home he lives in is worth peanuts in comparison to his $16 million net worth.
Elijah Wood
Elijah Wood earned mega-money when he starred in The Lord of the Rings films. He is said to be worth at least $18 million and is set for life. The home he bought with some of that money is worth $698,750.
Elijah does not act as much these days, shifting his focus to music and recording, which is why he decided to buy a home in Austin of all places. Modesty at its finest.
Ellen Pompeo
you would think that Ellen Pompeo would live in the lap of luxury as she held her own (and more) on Grey’s Anatomy for so many years and paychecks. In this case, we are talking about Ellen’s trailer, not her home. Ellen redid her trailer with an airy and simple design.
Ellen is worth $40 million and could have done much more than just redecorate, which is why we are impressed with her design skills and her humble vibes.
Kesha
The hit singer and songwriter may write songs that we party to, but her lifestyle is far from the glitz and glam. Kesha surprised her fans when she decided that this modest bungalow was the house she wanted for herself. She bought the property for $1.6 million, small pennies in comparison to other celebrity homes.
Kesha has since moved into a larger home but kept her low key lifestyle and style the same, with a focus on open and peaceful living space with a spa-like feel throughout the house. Kesha has been through a lot, so it makes sense that she would want her home to be an oasis.
Elliot Page
Another day another Elliot in the acting world. Actor Elliot Page has worked very hard over his career to reach a net worth of $18 million. He has also spent his money very wisely and does not get dazzles by unnecessary expenses.
He bought his home for $885,000; he did not want an oversized home that would feel too big, but rather a home he could feel comfortable enough and he could design the way he wanted.
Wolf Blitzer
Wolf Blitzer has lived in his modest home since 1990. He bought the property that is set in Bethesda, Maryland for $710,000. The newsman is known to most from his television appearances, providing us with in-depth articles.
He could afford a much larger home than the one he has been in for so long but does not see the need to add more square footage into his life, he is exactly as he wants to be.
Cher
She may be a living legend and an ageless beauty, but Cher has at times lived quite humbly. Before The actress/singer/ goddess moved into her Malibu estate the star once lived in a humble $900,000 home in Beverly Hills. The 4 bedroom, Tudor-style home with ivy-lined walls was a welcome retreat for Cher and her young family.
While today Cher owns magnificent homes all over the globe, sources close to the star have shared that her Beverly hills cottage will always hold a special place in her heart. We can see why, this humble cottage looks like a wonderful place to escape the world!
Vincent Kartheiser and Alexis Blendel
Vincent was living in a small bungalow home for a long time, ten years exactly, when he moved out to be in a larger home with his now-wife Alexis Bledel. The home was so modest that he had a murphy bed which he happened to love as a feature in his home.
Now that he is married and a father, the home he shares with his family is much larger yet still within the realm of reason.
Robert Pattinson
Robert Pattinson is said to be worth over $100 million thanks to his Twilight film series roles and the ones thereafter. He may not be a huge fan of the role he played, but he sure did benefit from it. Using a tiny piece of his income, Rob bought himself a $2.17 million home in Hollywood.
The home is constructed in the Spanish style and has everything Rob wants in it now. We may see an upgrade as his personal life expands as well.
Shaquille O’Neal
Everyone knows who Shaq is. The basketball legend is worth over $250 million so you would expect him to own a mansion with 20 rooms and 19 cars, right? Wrong in his case. Shaq bought a five-bedroom home in Florida for $235,000 and said he does not need more space than what he has which is pretty incredible coming for such a tall man.
He used to have a much bigger home but decided he did not need that much space anymore.
Tom Blyth
Tom Blyth, the acclaimed actor known for his role as Coriolanus Snow in “The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes,” leads a surprisingly modest lifestyle, especially in contrast to his rising fame.

His career highlights include not just “The Hunger Games,” but also a leading role in the series “Billy the Kid”.
Despite his success, Blyth’s living arrangements reflect a preference for simplicity. This mirrors the approach of musician Pete Wentz, who despite a significant net worth, chose a modest $1 million home when he first rose to fame. Blyth’s down-to-earth lifestyle in an industry often marked by extravagance showcases his focus on his craft and personal values over the trappings of celebrity culture.
Tom Holland

This place reflects his down-to-earth personality, offering comfort without excessive luxury. It’s a nod to his roots and a space where he can unwind away from the spotlight.
His choice underscores a desire for privacy and normalcy, highlighting that not all celebrities crave extravagant homes. Tom’s house is a personal retreat, embodying his modest approach to fame and fortune.
Doja Cat

It clearly states his values, prioritizing personal well-being and genuine connections over material wealth.
Olivia Colman
Olivia Colman, the esteemed British actress known for her versatile performances, has chosen a lifestyle that reflects modesty and a preference for a quieter, more private life. After portraying Queen Elizabeth II in “The Crown,” Colman and her husband Ed Sinclair moved from their family home in Peckham, South-East London, to a historic Grade II-listed barn in Norfolk. Their new home, which they purchased for £1.3 million, is close to the Queen’s Sandringham Estate. This move marks a significant change from their previous life in London, as Colman had earlier expressed her fondness for the community in the capital.
The Norfolk property, a blend of history and charm, features plans for substantial upgrades, including an outdoor swimming pool with LED lighting and an extension on an existing outbuilding. Despite her acclaim and success, Colman’s choice of residence suggests a preference for a life away from the limelight, favoring the tranquility and privacy of the countryside over the bustling city life.

This choice reflects a grounded lifestyle, preferring character and tranquility over grandeur, a rare choice among celebrities of her stature.
Martha Stewart

What began as a humble farmhouse acquisition for $46,750 blossomed into a four-acre haven, eventually encompassing the entire street. This cherished property, Martha’s initial venture into homeownership alongside her then-husband and daughter Alexis, held profound significance in her journey.
Turkey Hill was more than just a residence; it was a canvas for Martha’s evolving aesthetic and culinary philosophies. Adorned with antiques, boasting meticulously designed landscapes, and seasonal gardens, including a vegetable patch and a greenhouse, the property was a living embodiment of Martha’s brand.
Margot Robbie

Tori Spelling
It’s public knowledge that Tori Spelling and her family have had to move around a lot. Going from modest house to the next, it seems she is a fan of renting a property rather than owning one. Spelling has been gracing our screens for years now, and not only is she an actress, but also a tv personality as well as a socialite.
It appears that her main priority is that her children each have their own room, but other than that, she’s not too bothered about having a big fancy house. Perhaps she has a moving addiction though, she reportedly moved around a lot in the last six years. Eight times to be exact!
Brooke Shields
The Hamptons has always been a hotspot for the A-list, and when summer comes around, a load of celebs heads to the famous spot. For Brooke Shields, visiting is easy as it is the place she calls home.

The projects wouldn’t be fair if they didn’t create something for themselves. One of their purchases was a 1950s bungalow in California. Buying the Venice space for $894,00, they worked on it for themselves. Even though it is on the smaller side, it is designed perfectly.
Amber Heard
Amber Heard is a prime example of a celebrity opting for a more modest living situation. She recently sold her luxurious Mojave Desert property for a solid $1.5 million, swapping it for a rented villa in Spain where she now resides with her daughter. Although it’s a downsizing of sorts, the move was more than just a lifestyle choice.
Speculation suggests that the sale of the Mojave home was instrumental in helping Heard pay off a hefty $8 million settlement she owes her ex-husband, Johnny Depp. This goes to show that even in the world of glitz and glamour, practical financial decisions can lead celebs to adopt a simpler, albeit still elegant, way of living.
Warren Buffett
Seeing as Warren Buffett is one of the world’s richest people, you would expect him to live in a mansion as big as some small towns. However, this modest man went the complete other direction. Buffett, who is estimated to be worth over $85 billion, bought his current home for $38,000 back in 1958 and still lives there.

Meghan Markle
Before she married into the Royal Family and long before the era of ‘Megxit’, Meghan Markle had much humbler beginnings. In fact, that’s why her story of how she went from pauper to actress to duchess is so amazing.

Lauren Conrad

Nicky Hilton
The Hilton family have been rolling in dollars for as long as we can remember and they have certainly never been shy about showing off their wealth.

Jennifer Lawrence
Jennifer has been in more hit films than a lot of Hollywood but has remained her delightfully quirky and humble self. Jennifer’s home was purchased by her for around $879,000, a good deal when you think that the girl is worth millions upon millions of dollars.

Nate Ruess and Charlotte Ronson
