However, despite the many films produced each year, Hollywood remains a vicious place with many aspiring stars working years to feature in a movie of their dreams. Yet many never attain a movie role that gives them an enormous payoff. 

That doesn’t mean it’s an impossible task. Many respected actors have managed to star in high-paying movie roles. Most of the Hollywood stars on this list have made more money for a single film role than any of us will ever receive in our lifetime. 

Although it’s increasingly rare for even big-name celebrities to earn huge salaries in the current climate, it’s still possible. It’s highly likely that you will recognize most of the actors on this list, but one or two might surprise you. Should you want to learn about the highest-paid movie roles and who played them continue reading. 

1. Bruce Willis – The Sixth Sense ($115 Million)

eonline.com

The highest-paid movie role of all time on our list belongs to Bruce Willis for his portrayal of a child psychologist in the film The Sixth Sense. This thrilling movie had one of the most shocking surprise endings and has managed to remain a classic. 

The Sixth Sense was a phenomenal movie directed and written by M. Night Shyamalan. Many critics praised the film for its shocking plot twists and atmosphere. The Sixth Sense had a $40 million budget, but it made $672.8 million at the box office. 

For his role as Malcolm Crowe in the film, Bruce Willis made a shocking $115 million, which was astounding for the 1990s. Willis was able to earn so much because of his savvy negotiation skills. Before agreeing to take on the role, Willis negotiated for an approximate $20 million salary, additional rights to home video sales, and 15% of the movie’s total global box office earnings. 

2. Will Smith – Men in Black 3 ($100 Million)

propstoreauction.com

The third installment in the Men in Black franchise made waves in the film industry because of how much one of the actors earned for their role. Men in Black 3 is a science fiction action comedy loosely based on a comic book series with the same name. 

The movie was written by Etan Cohen and directed by Barry Sonnenfeld. Unsurprisingly Men in Black 3 was the 10th highest-grossing film in 2012. The movie had a budget of between $215 and $225 million, but it made an incredible $624 million at the global box office, despite being terrible. Additionally, it was also the highest-grossing film in the series. 

Yet, who was the actor who made a record-breaking amount for his role? That honor goes to Will Smith for his portrayal of agent J. It’s believed Smith made an incredible $100 million, which is much more than his fellow co-stars. 

3. Tom Cruise – Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol ($75 Million)

bondsuits.com

It’s debatable, yet many believe the most popular film franchises in Hollywood to be the Mission Impossible series. These films have managed to rake in incredible profits at the box office and wouldn’t be a success without the film’s main character that Tom Cruise plays. 

Thus it isn’t surprising that Tom Cruise earned quite an impressive salary for his role in the film franchise’s fourth installment, Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol. This action spy movie was directed by Brad Bird and written by Josh Appelbaum. Until it was surpassed by Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation, this fourth installment was the highest-grossing film in the series, with a global box office earnings of $694 million. 

Additionally, Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol was the fifth highest-grossing film in 2011, even though it had a budget of only $145 million. For his role in the movie, it’s reported that Tom Cruise earned $75 million. Due to his impressive earnings, Cruise was able to top Forbes most influential actors in 2012 list. 

4. Sandra Bullock – Gravity ($70 Million)

ABC News

Although Hollywood is dominated by powerful male actors who claim most of the high-paying roles, a few female actors are competing with them. The 2013 science-fiction thriller Gravity is one of the films with a female lead who earned one of the highest paying roles of all time. 

Interestingly, Gravity was well received by critics and even managed to receive a whopping 10 nominations at the 86th Academy Awards. The film managed to win seven out of its ten nominations, including Best Cinematography and Best Director. 

This movie was written by Afonso Cuaron – who is also its director – and Jonas Cuaron. Although Gravity only had a budget of between $80 and $120 million, it managed to rake in $723.3 million at the global box office. 

Sandra Bullock reportedly made $70 million for her role as Dr. Ryan Stone. Additionally, her phenomenal acting skills won her an Oscar nomination for Best Actress. Without Bullock’s impressive acting skills, it’s unlikely this film would have managed to become the eighth highest-grossing film of 2013. 

5. Johnny Depp – Alice in Wonderland ($68 Million)

Rolling Stone

There is one actor well known for accruing some of the very best high-paying jobs in Hollywood. Can you guess who he is? If you thought Johnny Depp, you would be correct. Without his presence in the film Alice in Wonderland, it’s doubtful the film would have garnered as much attention as it did. 

Despite receiving mixed reviews after its release, Alice in Wonderland still received three Oscar nominations. The film took home two Oscar awards for Best Art Direction and Best Costume Design which is unsurprising. Additionally, Alice in Wonderland won the title of the fifth highest-grossing film of all time in 2010 with a gross global box office earnings of $1.025 billion.

Tim Burton directed this modern film masterpiece from a screenplay by Linda Woolverton. The casting process for this film was very particular, but Depp still managed to land a coveted role. Although Depp rarely spoke during his role as The Mad Hatter, he still managed to earn a well-deserved $68 million. 

6. Adam Sandler – The Ridiculous Six ($67.5 Million)

Vanity Fair

The only Netflix film on our list to have one of the highest paying movie roles belongs to The Ridiculous Six. This film was not that well-liked, nor was it very successful, but that doesn’t mean the leading man Adam Sandler didn’t earn a phenomenal amount. 

This 2015 western action-comedy was written by Tim Herlihy with input from Adam Sandler and directed by Frank Coraci. Shockingly, The Ridiculous Six has a 0% rating on the critic’s website Rotten Tomatoes, which is surprising considering the comedic cast. 

Although the film had a budget of $60 million, Adam Sandler earned an estimated $67.5 million for his role as Tommy “White Knife” Dunson Stockburn. 

7. Harrison Ford – Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal ($65 Million)

CinemaBlend

Arguably one of the most iconic American film franchises in American film history is the Indiana Jones film series. Interestingly, the fourth installment, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal, would not have happened if Paramount did not accede to the wishes of leading man Harrison Ford. 

The movie Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal was the second highest-grossing film of 2008 as it made an estimated $790.7 million at the global box office. It was also the highest-grossing film in the franchise if inflation is ignored. 

According to reports, Ford was hesitant to reprise his role as Indiana Jones. That’s why it took some convincing in the form of a generous salary to get him committed to the fourth installment. Ultimately, Paramount agreed to a deal that split a sizable portion of the film’s earnings amongst director Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, and Ford. 

8. Leonardo DiCaprio – Inception ($50 Million)

npr.org

The film Inception is arguably one of the best mind-bending science fiction action movies of the 2010s. Even though the film was released over a decade ago, it has remained one of the most memorable science fiction films to come out of Hollywood. 

As the fourth highest-grossing film of 2010, it’s far from shocking that this film has one of the highest-paid movie roles. Inception was written and directed by the famed Christopher Nolan, well-known for his Hollywood blockbusters. 

This film managed to win four Academy Awards for Best Sound Mixing, Best Cinematography, Best Visual Effects, and Best Sound Editing. Inception had a budget of $160 million, but it far exceeded hopes with a gross box office profit of $836.8 million. 

Yet, Inception would not have been the success it was without Leonardo Dicaprio playing the role of professional thief Dom Cobb. Dicaprio’s acting skills elevated the film’s storyline and made it the success it was. That’s probably why he earned $50 million for the role. 

9. Cameron Diaz – Bad Teacher ($42 Million)

madeinatlantis.com

If you enjoy comedy films, you have likely seen the 2011 movie Bad Teacher. Even though this film received mostly negative reviews, it still made a profit on its budget and had one of the highest paying movie roles. 

Bad Teacher was written by Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky and directed by Jake Kasdan. The film’s budget was a mere $20 million, but it managed to make a sizable $216.2 million at the global box office. 

For her role as Elizabeth Halsey, Cameron Diaz made an incredible $42 million, one of the most legendary Hollywood deals of all time. Initially, Diaz agreed to earn $1 million but later decided to renegotiate her contract to include profits from the film’s total earnings. This turned out to be a genius business move as she took home quite the sum.  

10. Tom Hanks – Saving Private Ryan ($40 Million)

Military.com

It’s likely that you know who Tom Hanks is. He is an American actor well known for the touching movie roles that have earned him numerous accolades and awards. But did you know for his role in the film Saving Private Ryan he made one of the highest salaries for a movie at that time? 

Saving Private Ryan is a 1998 war film easily considered one of the greatest films of all time. It was written by famed writer Robert Rodat and directed by Steven Spielberg. This film had a budget of $70 million but managed to make an incredible $482.3 million, which was impressive for the 1990s. With earnings of $482.3 million, it won the title of the third highest-grossing film in 1998.

For his inspiring role as Captain John H. Miller, Tom Hanks earned a nomination for Best Actor. Yet, that isn’t all he earned, as it’s reported he made a staggering $40 million. 

Although his novels are exquisitely strange, they are definitely not for the faint of heart. If you are someone who becomes easily offended, you might want to steer clear of his novels. However, suppose you enjoy delving into fantasy works that commonly feature sex and sexuality and deeply flawed and perverse characters. In that case, you might want to consider reading a few of the novels we have spoken of in this article.  

Each of the novels listed is likely to take you on one hell of a ride. They will evoke chilling emotions the likes of which you might never have felt before. Are you ready to wholeheartedly commit to a memorable fantasy or horror novel that’s likely to give you nightmares while evoking complex thoughts? If so, you will want to read the 10 best Clive Barker books of all time. 

There are just as many horror books as there are horror movies. You can find novels about killer clowns, ghastly monsters, spooky ghosts, diabolical madmen, and creatures of the night. Some have even argued that reading a scary book is far more entertaining as you can vividly let your imagination run wild with what you’re reading about. 

So if you’re after unforgettable adrenaline rushes, nightmarish skin-crawling scenes, carefully crafted plots, and delightfully horrific twists, you might want to consider picking up one of the novels on this list. Each one is a literary masterpiece that belongs in the horror genre, making them perfect Halloween reads. 

Although King is well known for his horror novels, he has dabbled in many other genres such as crime fiction, magical realism, and supernatural thrillers. Yet, it’s hardly debatable that he is one of the most established masters of American contemporary horror fiction. Since he began his writing career, King has managed to create works that have transcended time to remain relevant even in 2021. 

This author’s incredibly well thought out and gripping plots, creative themes, and memorable characters have allowed his novels to funnel their way into the hearts of fans throughout the world. Amongst the many masterpieces he has written, it can be hard narrowing down what novel of King’s you should read. That’s why we have put together the 10 best Stephen King books you need to read at least once during your lifetime. 

Although the movie plots tend to be fairly predictable, no one knows what death-defying stunts will be shown or what cars will feature in these stunts, which makes these movies must-watch. Without the cars, the Fast and Furious franchise wouldn’t be nearly as attention-worthy. Let’s face it, the actors play their part (Vin Diesel, The Rock, and Jason Statham, to name three), but it’s the cars that steal the show. 

Since there are so many amazing cars that have been featured in these movies over the past 20 years, it is incredibly challenging to narrow down the best of the best. Yet, we have somehow managed to do just that. While we might have missed out on a few of your favorites, such as the Mazda RX 7 from The Fast and the Furious and the Aston Martin DB9 driven by Owen Shaw in Furious 7, we think the list we’ve assembled is pretty tight.

So here are our picks for the 20 best cars from the Fast and Furious franchise.

1. 1970 Dodge Charger

Our list wouldn’t mean much if we didn’t include Dominic Torreto’s 1970 Dodge Charger. This American muscle car is at the heart of the series and arguably the most iconic car driven by Torreto. Much of Torreto’s character is based around him owning this muscle car and the history of what it represents to him and his father. 

Dom’s Charger is a fan favorite and, as such, is featured in The Fast and the Furious, Fast and Furious, Fast Five, and Furious 7.

The 1970 Dodge Charger featured in the first film is equipped with a custom engine that can reach an incredible horsepower rating of 900. Under the hood, there is a pro-built 528 cubic inch Chrysler Hemi engine with aluminum Indy competition cylinder heads. 

Perhaps its most distinguishable feature is its electronic fuel injection, Wilwood four-wheel disc brakes, and NOS HP plate nitrous injection system. In addition to these exemplary features, the 1970 Dodge Charger can race the quarter-mile in less than nine seconds.

2. Toyota Supra

If you’re a car enthusiast you know all about this beast from the Fast Furious franchise. One of the most recognizable tuner cars from the series is Brian O’Conner’s bright orange Toyota Supra. In The Fast and the Furious, O’Conner brings the car back to life in Dominic Toretto’s garage, and this action plays an integral role in building a bond between the two main characters. The Supra even pops up in Fast Five and is driven by Roman Pierce (Tyrese Gibson) along with a lot of the crew while practicing driving for the bank heist. 

The car proves its worth and solidifies its legendary status when seen racing and beating a Ferrari F355 Spider on its maiden drive. It’s believed that the original Toyota Supra Mk-IV, which is equipped with the 2JZ engine, could produce a horsepower rating of 540.

Interestingly this car could reach 62 mph in just 4.3 seconds and its top speed could reach 186 mph when the NOS system was equipped.

3. Acura NSX

The Honda Acura NSX is iconically driven by Dominic Toretto’s sister Mia in Fast and Furious and Fast Five. This vehicle is rear-wheel-drive with a six-speed manual transmission that has stylish red leather seats. 

Fans fell in love with the Honda Acura NSX when it appeared as one of the vehicles rescuing Dom after being sentenced to 25 years in prison during the Fast and Furious movie. Curiously, the Honda Acura NSX’s stock configuration is powered by an impressive C32B V-6 engine capable of producing a horsepower rating of 290. What many people don’t know is that the Honda Acura NSXs used for the film are heavily modified. They are equipped with NSX-R suspension and other upgrades that boost its horsepower rating further.

4. Pontiac Fiero

In the latest installment of the franchise, it can be said that the modified Pontiac Fiero steals the show. Although this classic car is not everyone’s cup of tea, it plays a significant role in the latest film. In fact, the 1984 Pontiac Fiero jet car is seen in one of the most heartwarming scenes during Fast 9. 

It is up to Roman and Tej to save the world when they have to use the Pontiac Fiero to drive into a satellite set to destroy the earth with nothing but their car. Taj and Roman are prepared to sacrifice themselves during this scene which is why it’s memorable. 

However, many think the Pontiac Fiero is the most ridiculous car to be featured in one of the films of this franchise, but we’re of the opposite opinion. Although this vehicle is essentially a rocket with a classic car body attached to it, it’s still worthy of attention because of its uniqueness.

5. Nissan Skyline 2000 GT-R

Did you know that the Nissan Skyline 2000 GT-R is the first skyline model to bear the GT-R badge? It’s no wonder this classic muscle car found its way into the Fast and Furious franchise. 

Ironically, this car is driven by Brian after the memorable scene where he and Mia rescue Dom while he’s being taken to prison. Although the vehicle makes only a minor appearance during the Fast Five movie, it deserves to be on our list because due to its performance specifications. 

This muscle car has a 2.0-liter DOHC straight-six engine which allows it to produce a horsepower rating of 160. Yet, the film’s version features a twin-cam 2.0-liter inline-six engine with rear drive. Additionally, this car has a 0 to 62 mph acceleration time of 3.8 seconds and can reach a top speed of more than 203 mph.

6. Honda S2000

Are you aware the Honda S2000 featured in The Fast and the Furious movie is rented from R.J. Vera, who played Danny Yamato? It is driven by Rick Yune who played baddie Johnny Tran in the film. This same car was purchased by David Marder for the film 2 Fast 2 Furious and repurposed for the character Suki. 

Suki drives the bright pink Honda S2000 during a race hosted by Tej. For much of the scene, the Honda S2000 is in last place but manages to pull off a miracle during a jump scene that sees the vehicle coming in first. 

The Honda S2000 features a set of custom hot pink vinyl. It is equipped with a 2.2-liter aluminum alloy DOHC inline 4 engine and has a Comptech supercharger. It can reach 174 mph and has a maximum horsepower output of 237.

7. Buick Grand National

The Buick Grand National features in the fourth Fast and Furious movie and is a custom build. This vehicle has a fully reversed drive train, which is why it could pull off the tanker truck scene so effortlessly. 

During this scene, Dom can be seen driving the Buick Grand National in reverse while maintaining a high speed. He continues driving in reverse until the dramatic explosion at the end. Even though the vehicle looks normal on the outside, it is different on the inside from other Buick Grand Nationals.

The Buick Grand National seen in the film has its engine situated in the vehicle’s trunk, with the rear axle moved to under the hood by using custom tubed subframes. The modifications don’t end there. A new wheel and pedal were also installed for a stunt driver in the rear seat area.

8. Ford GT40

Did you know the Ford GT40 driven in Fast Five is not an actual Ford GT40 but a replica? The replica model features heavily during the film’s train heist scene at the movie’s start. 

The Ford GT40 replica from the film was auctioned in 2016. It is a right-hand drive and features the signature Guardsman Blue and Wimbledon White exterior that car enthusiasts know and love. Additionally, this car is built on a custom chassis and has body panels made out of fiberglass. 

The vehicle’s power made it a prominent focal point during the movie. It is equipped with a Ford 4.7 liter V8 engine that can deliver 540 horsepower. It has a five-speed manual transmission and can reach a top speed of approximately 164 mph.

9. 1967 Ford Mustang

One of the most memorable cars from The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift is the 1967 Ford Mustang. Yet, were you aware that the 1967 Ford Mustang models in the Justin Lin directed Tokyo Drift were built using 1968 models? 

This car is famous because of the scene where Sean Boswell (Lucas Black) drives it during his race with Takashi down a mountain he has never been beaten on. There are multiple close calls during this scene, but Sean manages to secure victory with the Mustang while Takashi doesn’t fare as well. 

Another interesting aspect of the 1967 models is that it took the film’s production team an estimated two months to fit Nissan Skyline GT-R engines into them. Perhaps one of the most impressive things to note about the 1967 Ford Mustangs used in this film is that each of them survived without being destroyed during filming. 

Moreover, it’s believed that five of the six 1967 Ford Mustangs used during the film were sold to buyers in California. These models had quite a few upgrades, including a rear roll cage, seven-spoke wheels, racing seats, and a front-mounted intercooler.

10. 2020 Jeep Gladiator

In Fast 9, the 2020 Jeep Gladiator plays a prominent role in the movie. It is well known for being one of the most capable mid-size trucks globally, and it got promoted to one of the most iconic cars in the world after it became one of the Fast Furious movie cars. 

Tej Parker drives this vehicle during the scene where he and Ramsey flee the crash site of Mr. Nobody after they are ambushed by the military, who are guarding the area. Fans are on the very edges of their seats while the Jeep Gladiator is driven through a field of landmines with the Jeep unable to be driven more than 80 mph. 

Interestingly, the 2020 Jeep Gladiator would not have been able to drive much faster than it did during this scene because it has a top speed of 97 mph.

11. 1965 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray

One of the greatest hero cars from the Fast and Furious franchise is the 1965 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. This vehicle won the 2013 OPTIMA Ultimate Street Car Invitational. Only seven cars in the entire world have ever held this title. That’s why it’s unsurprising that this vehicle made its way into The Fate of the Furious. 

This car features in the movie after fans find out that Dom betrayed his own team. Letty Ortiz (Michelle Rodriguez) picks out the 1965 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, and the movie shows that modifications are being made to it. The car is then seen again during the major New York chase scene in the movie. 

The 1965 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray featured in this movie is equipped with a 6.4-liter engine with a maximum horsepower rating of 250 at 4,400 rpm. It is able to reach a fairly impressive top speed of 125 mph.

12. Toyota GR Supra

According to many fans, the Toyota GR Supra featured in Fast 9 is a homage to Paul Walker’s car in the first film. The Toyota GR Supra is decked out in bright orange and is driven by Han in one of the film’s best action scenes. 

During the scene where the team equips huge electromagnets to their vehicles, the Toyota GR Supra can clearly be seen doing a nifty handbrake turn before reversing at high speeds to hook onto an armored truck. 

The Toyota GR Supra is equipped with a 3.0-liter turbocharged engine that is capable of producing a horsepower rating of 258 at 5,000 rpm. Additionally, this vehicle has a top speed of 155 mph and can accelerate to 60 mph in only 3.9 seconds.

13. 1973 Chevrolet Camaro

Although the 1973 Chevrolet Camaro only plays a minor role in the Fast and Furious movie, it makes an impact. This classic muscle car is driven by one of the bad guy’s men and is used to chase Brian and Dom. 

During the scene, Dom jumps into the Camaro from his Charger and uses it to escape from the tunnel and kill Fenix Calderon when he rams the car into him. The scene is all about getting justice for Letty, which is likely why it’s seen as one of the best cars from the franchise. 

The 1973 Chevrolet Camaro is an F-bomb impersonator because of how rare the original 1973 Chevrolet Camaro is. Unlike the original Camaro F-bomb that was equipped with a twin-turbocharged 1500 horsepower V8 engine, the impersonator vehicle used during this scene has a GM 300 horsepower crate engine.

14. Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JK

Who can forget the infamous plane drop scene during Furious 7 where Tej is seen in an armored Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JK dropping out of a plane alongside a few others in Dom’s crew?

The armored Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JK seen in the movie received many modifications that allowed it to achieve death-defying stunts while also achieving top speeds not usually seen with this vehicle model. 

The Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JK is a four-wheel-drive beast of a car that features a 3.6-liter V6 engine that can produce a horsepower rating of 285 at 6,400 rpm. It has an estimated top speed of 112 mph which is impressive considering that it has a curb weight of 4,277 pounds.

15. 1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse

It’s unlikely anyone can forget the Kawasaki green 1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse tuner car that had a minor yet significant appearance in the original The Fast and the Furious film. The 1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse is actually a customized car manufactured by Diamond Star Motors and Mitsubishi Motors. 

This race car is driven by Brian O’Conner during his preparation for his first-ever street race. Despite being unable to keep the car from spinning out of control, he still decides to race it to try and win the favor of Dominic Toretto. After the scene, O’Connor manages to win the street race, but he still loses control of the vehicle. 

Besides its attractive exterior appearance, its performance specifications and capabilities allow this vehicle to make it onto our list. The 1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse has a 420a 16-valve dual overhead cam 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine. This engine is capable of producing a horsepower rating of 165. 

Interestingly, this model has a 75 hp nitrous oxide system that was never fully installed, a custom carbon fiber front splitter, a custom GT style roof scoop, green neon lighting, and 1997 spec eclipse headlights.

16. Ford Escort

Did you know the Ford Escort seen in Fast and Furious 6 had to be sourced and built in Britain? This is because the American models were only manufactured as front-wheel-drive cars. These stunt cars were turned into 1972 RS1600 replicas. 

This car might make a minor appearance in the film, but it is definitely memorable. The Ford Escort is seen completing a successful jump scene with Brian O’Connor at the steering wheel. During this scene, O’Connor uses the Ford Escort’s rally-spec suspension.

For this film, there were five Escorts assembled. Some feature 2.0-liter Vauxhall Redtop engines, while others have a 1.6-liter Ford Kent engine with DOHC Cosworth heads and double Weber carbs.

17. 2014 W Motors Lykan HyperSport

The hero car in Furious 7 is undoubtedly the 2014 W Motors Lykan Hypersport. This vehicle is the first hypercar produced by W Motors and is the most expensive car featured in the Fast and Furious franchise. There are only seven Lycan Hypersort’s ever made. 

Dom infamously drives this hypercar through a building in Abu Dhabi while Brian tries to remove a chip that the crew needs. During this epic scene, Dom drives the 2014 W Motors Lykan Hypersport through a penthouse window. 

There were 10 replicas of this car built for the movie, and by the end of filming, only one survived. Astonishingly the 2014 W Motors Lykan Hypersportias is able to reach 0 to 60 in less than three seconds.

18. Camaro Yenko

During 2 Fast 2 Furious the 1969 Camaro Yenko is one of the most memorable cars to feature in the film. As with many other vehicles used in this film franchise, the Camaro Yenko is a replica of the original. 

As a tribute to the late Paul Walker who drove this vehicle, the Camaro Yenko was donated to the “Paul Walker Charity ROWW.”  

In 2 Fast 2 Furious, Brian wins the Camaro Yenko after challenging two bad guys to a race between himself and Rome. He then uses this vehicle as a getaway car to escape the notice of the local police when they go to retrieve Verone’s money. 

It’s believed that the Camaro Yenko featured in this film is equipped with a 427 V8 engine capable of producing a horsepower rating of 425.

19. Dodge Challenger SRT-8

Dominic Torreto drives the Dodge Challenger SRT-8 during Fast Five and Fast and Furious 6. In Fast Five, the Dodge Challenger SRT-8 isn’t used in any major action scenes, but Dom does race Brian with this vehicle. 

In Fast and the Furious 6, Dom races his Dodge Challenger SRT-8 as fast as possible so as not to miss the birth of his sister and Brian’s child. Later in the same film, he drives this vehicle to deliver the news that Letty is still alive. 

The Dodge Challenger SRT-8 is incredibly powerful and able to perform well during films because of its 6.4 V8 engine. These models have a top speed of 180 mph and a maximum horsepower rating of 470.

20. 1968 Dodge Charger

The 1968 Dodge Charger, also known as the “Hellacious Dodge Charger,” is not driven by one Toretto brother but two during Fast 9. Not many people are aware that Speedkore modified this vehicle, and unlike Dom’s other Chargers, this one has its engine centered in the middle. 

The fan’s first glimpse of the 1968 Dodge Charger in the latest installment of the film franchise is seen when Dom is hunting the second half of Project Aries, but his brother Jakob beats him to it. 

Yet, the more memorable scene where this vehicle is a primary focus is during the magnet scene when Dom uses the Charger to take out other vehicles and save his brother’s life. Interestingly, it isn’t until the end of the movie that Jakob (John Cena) drives the Charger when Dom gives it to him so that he can go into hiding. 

The 1968 Dodge Charger is equipped with a cast-iron water-cooled V8 engine with a horsepower rating of up to 425 at 5,000 rpm. Additionally, this muscle car had a top speed of approximately 136 mph. This might be the coolest car in the series. 

In this captivating exploration, we embark on a journey through the glittering landscape of America’s priciest residential properties. From the iconic Beverly Hills mansions that have sheltered Hollywood royalty to the ultra-modern penthouses gracing New York City’s skyline, we’ll unveil the secrets behind their staggering price tags.

Prepare to be dazzled by visionary designs, awe-inspiring locations, and a level of indulgence that transcends mere luxury. Join us as we step inside the hallowed halls of homes that house private museums, infinity-edge pools with panoramic views, and sprawling grounds that rival royal estates.

Whether you’re an aspirational homebuyer, a real estate enthusiast, or simply a curious soul eager to glimpse into the lap of luxury, our journey into the most expensive US homes promises to be an unforgettable expedition through the epitome of American extravagance. Buckle up, and let’s embark on this extraordinary voyage into the world of unparalleled affluence and architectural grandeur.

1. West Creek Ranch, Gateway, Colorado ($279 million)

Curiously, one of the biggest and most expensive homes to ever be built in America is the West Creek Ranch, located in Gateway, Colorado. This home is so expansive that it straddles the states of Utah and Colorado. West Creek Ranch consists of four parcels of land that make up approximately 8,700 acres of lush countryside. Unsurprisingly, this much space allows this home to have a hefty price tag of an estimated $279 million.

It makes sense that this gorgeously designed house that is nestled in nature belongs to the Discovery Channel founder and billionaire John Hendricks. West Creek Ranch’s main structure dates back to 2001, but the house was initially bought in the 1990s and then added to over the years. The primary ranch residence comprises 22,000 square feet, and many other lodge-style residences surround it, with an incredible total of 72 rooms.

The interior of this house is rustic yet beautiful, with elegant furnishings and dramatic architectural flourishes. The primary residence consists of eight bedrooms with eight bathrooms, a circular stone library, an art studio, a gym, a movie theatre, and a swimming pool with a spa. It is rumored this ranch also has a mountain lion habitat, the ruins of the historic Driggs mansion, and even real dinosaur footprints!

Although this ranch is magnificent, it has had some trouble selling. In 2017, the home was listed for $149 million, but when it didn’t sell, the price declined to $130 million. Even with this significantly lower price, the house has struggled to sell, which is why it is strange that the price has increased so exponentially. 

2. Four-Story Mega Mansion, Bel Air, California ($250 million)

One of the most unique homes on the market is the four-story mega-mansion located in Bel Air, California. This modern home has an estimated retail price of $250 million because of the numerous over-the-top features and amenities. 

This American mansion has over 100 rare and uber-expensive artworks, along with a collection of rare and expensive cars—including a Bugatti—that collectively total an astounding $30 million. The home was designed by the brilliant Bruce Makowsky, and it took four years and 300 skilled laborers to complete. Unlike other expensive houses listed on the market, this one comes fully furnished with seven staff members including a chef and masseuse. 

There are 38,000 square feet of interior space and a massive 17,000 square-foot outdoor deck. Inside this four-story mansion are 12 bedrooms, 21 bathrooms, 10 guest suites, two master suites, three kitchens, and a glorious swim-up bar. 

The abode is also equipped with a home theatre system with a 22-foot screen, 4K projector, and several thousand preloaded movies. This incredible system also has 57 speakers and 16 subwoofers, and there are 40 reclining chairs in the room that allow guests to truly immerse themselves in the entertainment area. Some of the other notable features and amenities in this modern home include an 85-foot-long infinity pool, two commercial elevators, a four-lane bowling alley, a massage room, a spa, a rooftop helipad, and a home gym. 

3. Mylestone at Meadow Lane, Southampton, New York ($175 million)

The Hamptons are definitely one of the most prestigious areas in New York where one can choose to settle down or own a holiday home. There are many gorgeous listings available in this area, but one of the most expensive homes currently available is Mylestone at Meadow Lane, located in Southampton, New York. This exquisite modern Tudor-style mansion has quite the price tag with a listed price of $175 million.

Although this American home is expensive, it has many attractive qualities. The home sits on a twin plot that spans nearly eight acres and has direct access to the waters of the magnificent Atlantic Ocean. There are also multiple alfresco dining areas, a caretaker’s cottage, a heated outdoor pool, and a deep water dock. 

Inside, this modern Tuscan home is furnished in a contemporary coastal style with neutral ocean tones of whites, browns, and blues. The home features elegant timber floors, custom millwork, intricate tilework in the kitchen, cozy fireplaces, and beautiful grasscloth wallpaper. 

There are 11 ample rooms, 12 bathrooms, a breakfast room, numerous living rooms, a vast and spacious farmhouse kitchen, and a gorgeously decorated dining room. The master suite has a 660-square-foot oceanfront terrace with its own hot tub. Additionally, there is also a lovely sunroom, an indoor gym, a yoga studio, and an expansive observation deck. 

4. Villa Firenze, Beverly Hills, California ($160 million)

When looking for value for money, the Villa Firenze property might be the perfect American home. This property markets itself as an “authentic Italian village” and is the largest assemblage in Beverly Park.

Renowned architect William Hablinski designed it, and it took seven years to complete. Currently, it’s believed that the house belongs to Steven F. Udvar-Hazy, the CEO of Air Lease Corp. He reportedly placed the house on the market in 2020 for $165 million before the price was dropped to its current price of $160 million. 

This house is so expensive because it is set on nine acres of prime real estate and it has its own access street. The gated 20,000-square-foot compound has a 30-car courtyard, 20 bedrooms, and 23 bathrooms. 

The interior is packed with luxurious amenities. There are sizable formal gathering areas, high ceilings, and arched doorways. The backyard features four acres of landscaped gardens with a pool, pool house, and a two-story guest home. Additionally, Villa Firenze also features a separate lot for additional development, a walking and jogging trail, and a tennis court. 

5. Chartwell, Los Angeles, California ($150 million)

The city of Los Angeles is filled with many gorgeous and expensive homes, but perhaps none are as spectacular as Chartwell. In 2017 Chartwell was listed for an incredible $350 million, but unsurprisingly the outrageous price for this home was later lowered significantly. In 2019 the house was listed at a much lower $150 million, and this more reasonable price tag prompted media mogul Lachlan Murdoch to purchase the home. 

Architect Summer Spaulding gorgeously designed the Chartwell estate in the 1930s to mimic a historic neo-classical fairytale chateau. In fact, it’s believed that this home was named after a 14th-century estate in England. With its regal and refined appearance, this estate is considered by many to be one of LA’s finest homes. 

This home is 25,000 square feet and sits on ten acres of land. Inside there are beautiful hand-painted ceilings with ornate timer panellings and a vaulted foyer. There are 18 bedrooms and 24 bathrooms, and each oversized room is lavishly decorated with costly furnishings and fittings.

Additionally, the home features a grand ballroom, numerous formal dining rooms, and many living rooms. Furthermore, some of the other notable features and amenities include a secret tunnel from the house to the 75-foot-long swimming pool, a tennis court, a pool house, a guest house, and an underground garage with enough space to house 40 vehicles. 

6. The One, Bel Air, California ($141 million)

Once expected to sell for a whopping $500 million, this Californian beauty referred to as “The One” was on the market for several years before finally selling for just $141 million. Located in the luxurious suburb of Bel Air this modern masterpiece was designed by the talented architect Paul McClean while Kathryn Rotondi exacted the interior design. 

Taking ten years to develop, The One is built on a five-acre plot that cost $28 million. Constructed by film producer-turned-real estate developer Nile Niami, over 600 laborers were enlisted to build the home which has 360-degree unobstructed views of Downtown Los Angeles, the Pacific Ocean, and the magnificent San Gabriel Mountains. 

Inside this 105,000-square-foot home is a stunning minimalistic modern theme that features marble and glass accents and 26-foot high ceilings. There are 21 bedrooms, with the massive master bedroom taking up 5,500 square feet alone.

Some of the more impressive features include 42 bathrooms, a 10,000-square-foot sky deck, a 30-seat movie theatre, a four-lane bowling alley, and a spa level. Additionally, three sides of the house are surrounded by a moat and a 400-foot-long jogging track. 

7. II Palmetto, Palm Beach, Florida ($137 million)

Palm Beach in Florida has some expensive homes listed but none more so than the II Palmetto mansion. This home is designed with the 1930s Italian Renaissance in mind. Although it has been on and off the market a few times, it has recently been relisted for the price of $137 million. 

This 60,000-square-foot home has ten bedrooms and features some of the most magnificent interior architecture that Fairfax and Sammons oversaw. The Pavillion-style rooms have a two-story entrance hall, and there are 16th-century carved ceilings in the formal dining room and shield ceilings in the living room. 

Inside the primary residence, there’s a butler’s pantry, chef’s kitchen, billiards room, library, home office, and a home theatre. One of the nicest features of this up-market home is the gorgeous cellar crafted out of limestone and can hold 20,000 wine bottles.

There’s also a long underground tunnel that leads to a beach house which consists of two bedrooms and three bathrooms. Additionally, the home also features an infinity pool and a boathouse with two motorized boat launches. 

8. Beverly Hills Estate, Los Angeles, California ($125 million)

Since 2015 the Beverly Hills Estate located in Los Angeles, California, has belonged to billionaire tycoon Steve Wynn. However, in 2021 the house was listed on the market for $110 million but was later increased to $125 million when a suitable buyer was not found. With this new price tag, the estate that sits on three acres of land has become one of the most expensive mansions in California to date. 

Before it belonged to Steve Wynn, the home belonged to Maurice Marciano, the co-founder of Guess jeans. Wynn reportedly purchased the house from Marciano for just under $48 million. Since he bought the home, Wynn has made numerous additions that have caused the home’s value to increase significantly. 

This three-story eclectically designed home consists of 27,150 square feet that includes 11 bedrooms and 14 bathrooms. The entire home boasts vibrant furnishings and high-end architectural elements that give the house an almost five-star hotel appearance. Inside the estate are a gym, office, wine cellar, bar, private art gallery, and movie theatre. Outside there is a swimming pool, guesthouse, staff suites, two apartments, and a tennis court.

9. The Manor, Los Angeles, California ($120 million)

The title for the highest selling price for a home in California went to The Manor, a house located in Los Angeles. In 2019 the home sold for a record-breaking $120 million when Petra Ecclestone decided to sell the property. It’s reported that she made an impressive profit as it’s believed she bought the house in 2011 for $85 million.

The Manor is a 56,500-square-foot chateau built in 1991, but it has had many modern additions made to it over the years. For example, the contemporary interior now has a spectacular entrance foyer lined with black and white marble. There are 123 rooms in this residence. Out of the 123 rooms, there are 14 bedrooms and 27 bathrooms. Additionally, there is a library, office, games room, billiard room, gym, wine cellar, and a high-end projection room. 

Although these amenities are impressive, some of the other rooms in the house are also notable. Inside these modern chateaux, a beauty salon is equipped with a hairdresser station, a pedicure zone, a massage room, and a nail bar. There is also a room dedicated to cutting flowers, and there is a humidity-controlled room used for storing silver. 

10. The Beverly Hills House, Los Angeles, California ($119 million)

The last home on our list might be easily recognizable on account of the fact that it has appeared in many Hollywood films such as The Godfather and The Bodyguard. The Beverly Hills House is located in Los Angeles, California, only three blocks away from Sunset Boulevard. The house itself sits on three acres of land and has a listing price of a whopping $119 million. 

Although there is no doubt that this home is one of the most spectacular and the most expensive in America, it also might be one of the most unsellable. Reportedly there are only 20 families in the world who could afford to purchase this home and maintain it. 

In 2007 the home was listed at $165 million with a rental option of $600,000 a month. In 2017 the house was again listed on the market for a jaw-dropping $195 million, but when it still had not sold in 2020, it was relisted for $125 million. Yet even this price didn’t draw in willing buyers, which led to it being dropped further to $119 million. 

Interestingly, this Mediterranean Revival-style Beverly Hills mansion was built in 1926. Even though it’s older than some of the other homes on our list, it’s no less opulent. The home features dramatically arched ceilings, gilded furnishings, and decorative paneled walls. Inside this home, there are 18 bedrooms and 25 bathrooms. There is also a two-story library, a billiard room, a hand-carved fireplace, a commercial-grade kitchen, and two formal dining rooms. 

Additionally, this Beverly Hills home also has a lighted tennis court, two screening rooms, and an Olympic-sized swimming pool. Furthermore, the home also features an outdoor dining terrace that is large enough to seat 400 guests. 

Imagine walking through the ornate double doors of a mansion, each step echoing on marble floors that have seen the footsteps of Hollywood’s finest. Expensive celebrity homes are more than just living spaces; they are veritable masterpieces of architectural prowess and interior design. The walls hold secrets of star-studded soirées, while the carefully curated gardens offer a retreat from the prying lenses of the paparazzi.

In this article, we delve into the details that make these homes truly exceptional. From infinity pools that blend seamlessly with the horizon to walk-in closets that could rival the most upscale boutiques, every aspect of these residences exudes magnificence.

Join us as we navigate through the extravagant features, groundbreaking amenities, and fascinating histories that define these expensive celebrity homes. Whether you’re an architecture enthusiast, a pop culture aficionado, or simply curious about the lifestyles of the rich and famous, prepare to be captivated by the unparalleled grandeur that defines these remarkable dwellings.

12. Sting ($50 million)

It isn’t only mansions, estates, castles, and villas that are expensive, as can be seen with former Police singer Sting’s $50 million Manhattan duplex penthouse. Although this duplex has a hefty price tag, it’s visually stunning and equipped with many features and amenities that make it worth it. It’s uncertain why Sting decided to sell the custom-designed duplex, but he definitely turned a profit on his original $27 million investment.

The duplex, which spans two entire floors and encompasses 5,417 square feet, is situated on Manhattan’s Upper West Side. Inside there are four spacious bedrooms and four bathrooms that are luxuriously furnished with everything a celebrity could possibly need. There is also a spacious lounge, a chef’s kitchen, a sauna, and a library with built-in shelving. 

Moreover, each room has a sophisticated interior theme that is well executed with elegant fixtures such as a spiral staircase and a bespoke free-standing fireplace. Additionally, the house boasts spectacular floor-to-ceiling windows that allow for unobstructed views of Central Park. 

If you’re going to own a penthouse duplex in one of the most prestigious areas of Manhattan, you need to ensure it has an awe-inspiring terrace. This was likely Sting’s thinking as the outside of this home is almost more admirable than the inside. There is a 396-foot private terrace that affords spectacular views of New York City.  

11. Tiger Woods ($54 million)

Sporting celebrity Tiger Woods decided to purchase an expensive $54 million home on Florida’s Juniper Island, with less than 1,000 people inhabiting it. Unlike other celebrity homes, this one has a very distinguishable feature—a gorgeous glass-covered walkway that separates the living areas from the rest of the house and has multiple purposes. 

It’s unlikely Woods would have bought the 12 acres of land on which his 9,000 square-foot home resides if it didn’t come with the beautiful and functional three-and-a-half-acre golf course. In addition to this, the property also has two boat docks, a 100-foot-long swimming pool, and an outdoor tennis and basketball court.

Woods reportedly bought the home for around $45 million and invested another $15 million to get it into the condition it’s in today. Furthermore, some of the amenities on offer in this sporty house include a game room, wine cellar, media room, world-class gym, and strangely even an oxygen therapy room. 

10. Johnny Depp ($55 Million)

While most celebrities own spectacular mansions in the Hollywood Hills or Palm Beach, Johnny Depp decided to take things international. The Pirates of the Caribbean star owns a home near the iconic Saint-Tropez in France.

Situated on 37 acres, the property is more like a small village than a home and includes the main house Depp occupies, guest cottages, an art studio, a chapel, and even a private restaurant known as Café Marcheline.

Purchased by Depp way back in 2001, the Edward Scissorhands actor sunk around $10 million into the property over 15 years, restoring many of the old stone structures on the land as well as building a skate park, a state-of-the-art gym, and Pirates of the Caribbean-inspired wine cave.

9. Adele ($58 Million)

Adele and her partner Rich Paul got an absolute bargain when they picked up Sylvester Stallone‘s former Beverly Park home in 2022 for just $58 million. Originally on the market for a whopping $110 million, Stallone was happy to sell to Adele at a cut price but the “Rolling in the Deep” singer has one condition: she keeps the Rocky statue in the backyard.

In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, Stallone revealed he wanted to keep the statue but Adele had other plans. “I did. But she said, ‘That’s a no deal. That’s gonna blow the whole deal,” Stallone explained when discussing the purchase. “She wanted the statue. I like what she’s doing; she’s making it gorgeous.”

Unlike other celebrities on our list, Stallone built his mega-mansion himself in 1994. The house is situated in the sought-after suburb of Beverly Hills inside an exclusive enclave community. Due to the ingeniously elevated design, this home has almost unobstructed panoramic views of the famed Rodeo Drive.

The colorfully designed mega-mansion features eight spacious bedrooms, 12 bathrooms, a chef’s kitchen, a breakfast room, a formal lounge, two powder rooms, and a dining room. Uniquely, some of the rooms in the mansion are decorated with movie memorabilia and contemporary art. But all that is changing, with Adele gutting the entire property, removing the second story, and making it her own.

8. Tom Cruise ($59 million)

Not every expensive celebrity home is located in an uber-elite area. Tom Cruise’s mountain ranch is located in Colorado just outside of Telluride and perfectly blends into its surroundings because of its elegant yet simplistic design. 

The estimated $59 million, 10,000-square-foot house is located on 298 acres of land and includes horse stables, picturesque sprawling hills, and multiple forest trails. Interestingly, Cruise tried to sell this home in 2014, but he unlisted it after it was on the market for two years.

Inside this delightfully modern yet rustic home are seven comfortably furnished bedrooms, nine bathrooms, a recreational room, and a fully stocked custom library. Cruise reportedly designed the log mansion himself in 1994. Additionally, there is also a beautiful separate guest house that has three bedrooms and three bathrooms. 

Ironically, the Colorado mansion might not be as spectacular without its private helipad that allows Cruise and his guests to navigate the treacherous yet magnificent otherwise unattainable private land. There is also a motocross track, a hockey rink, a tennis court, and a basketball court. 

7. Kim Kardashian ($60 Million)

Before Kim Kardashian and Kanye West bought this devastatingly beautiful mansion in the Hidden Hills in Hollywood, the home originally belonged to Elvis Presley’s daughter Lisa Marie Presley. The pair only paid $20 million for the house in 2014, while extensive renovations added a further $20 million to the price tag,

When the lovebirds split, Kardashian paid West around $23 million to keep the house as part of the divorce settlement. She continues to live in the modern mansion with her brood of children, and to be honest, who wouldn’t want to with how spectacular it is? 

The home boasts eight bedrooms, ten bathrooms, a show kitchen, a staff kitchen, a walk-in pantry, and a lounge that has gorgeous vaulted ceilings. Additionally, the theme for the home is modern yet minimalistic with a neutral color scheme. 

Some of the more mention-worthy amenities include two well-maintained vineyards, two swimming pools, and a 1,050-square-foot entertainment pavilion. There is also a fully equipped music lab where Kanye would record and a garage manned by 24-hour security personnel. 

6. Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi ($70 Million)

In 2022, property moguls Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi added to their already impressive portfolio of homes with a $70 million waterfront compound in Santa Barbara County. According to Love Property, the sprawling 10 acres consists of two parcels of land and comes with a “Tuscan farmhouse-style” mansion and a “small lake and stretching lawns.”

Across more than 9,000 square feet of living space are five bedrooms, eight bathrooms, a wine cellar, a basement movie theater, and an outdoor kitchen. The master bedroom also features a spa-equipped terrace while the property has a marble mosaic pool, two spas, and a private path known as “Barranca Path” that leads down to the sandy beach below.

5. Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie ($80 million)

For some celebrities, a mansion is too insignificant a home. So after spending some time house hunting, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie bought an $80 million castle titled Chateau Miraval in the south of France in 2012 but leased the castle in 2008 before they divorced. The main structure can be traced back to the 17th century, but this doesn’t mean it’s outdated.

The castle features 35 rooms, of which there is a video game room, a home theatre, and an indoor pool. Surrounding the castle are multiple structures, including a partially built 17th-century Romanesque chapel. The castle, along with all its structures, falls on 12,00 square feet.

It’s not only the inside that is impressive. The outside of this property boasts a dirt bike course, a 200-year-old olive tree, a vineyard, pine forests, lakes, fountains, and even a medieval moat to keep the paparazzi out.

4. Oprah Winfrey ($100 million)

Oprah Winfrey might have grown up in a low-income environment, but against all odds, she managed to make a success out of her life. The star is well known for her business mindset and, as such, has quite an impressive property portfolio. However, her most remarkable home is definitely her Promised Land estate, estimated to be worth $100 million in today’s market.

Interestingly it took much effort on Winfrey’s part to acquire the property as it wasn’t on the market. However, the previous owners Marlene and Robert Veloz ultimately decided to take Winfrey up on her generous $54 million offer. Since then, she has added other buildings, features, and amenities that have allowed its worth to increase exponentially.

The Promised Land estate is made up of approximately 13 buildings packed with impressive and luxurious furnishings and appliances. It’s situated in Montecito, California, on almost 70 acres of land. It’s believed that Winfrey’s primary residence in her estate is the 23,000 square foot neo-Georgian mansion which has six bedrooms, 14 bathrooms, two theatres, and 10 fireplaces.

Although the two pools, tennis court, and koi pond are impressive, the opulent private bathroom is perhaps the most unbelievable. Winfrey reportedly had an entire team of artisans design and build a luxurious bathroom that features a bathtub that was uniquely carved into the shape of her body. 

3. Pierce Brosnan ($100 million)

We all know how expensive oceanfront real estate can be, but no price is too high when you’re a celebrity with a high net worth. It may seem unbelievable, but 007 actor Pierce Brosnan owns one of the most expensive celebrity homes. Brosnan bought two lots of land for around $10 million and built this coastal real estate wonder that features panoramic views from nearly every room.

Due to the almost excessive opulence and Japanese-style spa, the 13,000 foot Thai-inspired home is similar to a five-star resort. However, despite its grandeur, the actor decided to place the oceanfront home on the market in October 2020 for a whopping $100 million. 

The coastal home has an open plan layout which allows loads of natural light to filter in throughout the day. Each room in this five bedroom house has gorgeous teak flooring and handcrafted woodwork with floor-to-ceiling windows. Besides the impressive bedrooms, there is also a chef’s kitchen filled with modern appliances, 14 luxurious bathrooms, and a custom-designed butler’s pantry with a temperature-controlled wine closet.

Other features and amenities that make this home worth its hefty $100 million price tag include a recording studio, screening room with bar, saltwater pool, plunge pool, steam room, and multiple saunas. Another perk for the new owner of this celebrity home will be 117 feet of private beachfront that comes with the property. 

2. George Clooney ($100 million)

You might not ever be able to own a celebrity house due to the expensive price tags, but you can at least rent one. Those thirsting for a taste of celebrity lifestyle luxury can rent out George Clooney’s $100 million villa if they have the budget and are visiting Italy. 

Clooney’s gorgeous Villa Oleandra was built in the 18th century but has since been updated to include all the modern luxury amenities and features befitting a celebrity lifestyle. According to sources, the villa is a delightful mix of traditional and contemporary interior design styles and furnishings. 

The mansion boasts 25 rooms with ornately carved ceilings, an expansive garage, a private gym, and numerous massive bathrooms. Additionally, one of the best features this home has is its comfortable outdoor theatre. There’s also a unique pizza room and a specifically engineered and constructed wall that keeps the lake from pouring directly into the home. 

1. Jay-Z & Beyoncé ($200 million)

Jay Z and Beyoncé are well known for their refined style, incredible vocals, and high net worth, but they should also be known for their cunning business skills. The pair considered an uber-modern Malibu mansion that was initially priced at $295 million. After grueling negotiations, they managed to purchase the home for only $200 million, an absolute steal! 

Hailed as the most expensive home in California, the Brutalist compound consists of six structures that total an incredible 30,000 square feet of combined living space. It’s constructed out of glass, steel, and gorgeous marbled limestone, with one of the most picturesque architectural features being the dark wood and Italian limestone staircase. 

Designed by famed Japanese architect Tadao AndoInside, the concrete structure was previously owned and built by art collector William Bell. It took Bell close to 15 years to finish the home, with the Los Angeles Times reporting that “7,645 cubic yards of concrete” were used to build the home.

As the sale of the mansion was private, there are no details regarding how many bathrooms, bedrooms, or other interesting features there are contained inside, but no doubt this home is, in Beyonce’s own words, “***Flawless.”

The “never have I ever” game lets us ask the questions we might be too cautious, afraid, or embarrassed to ask in an everyday setting. You would be surprised by what you don’t know about the people closest to you. Additionally, playing this game with acquaintances can be a serious eye-opener and enlighten you to what they’re really like.

At its core, the “never have I ever” game’s purpose is to get everybody involved laughing, thinking, cringing, and in general, having a good time. Yet, it can be challenging to achieve this perfect balance. For a game of “never have I ever” to be successful, it needs questions that aren’t too boring, dirty, mischievous, or scandalous. This is the family edition, but you can spice things up and make it more adults only if you like. 

The best way to play this party game is with alcohol, as people are much more open to talking about things after a few drinks. When you play “never have I ever” as a drinking game, whenever a question is asked, if you can reply to the question with yes, you take a shot or big sip of your drink and then must tell everyone what happened. You can even add dare questions to the equation, with someone who doesn’t want to answer the original question being forced to choose from a selection of dare questions instead. 

When it comes to the type of questions, you can ask anything. Dirty questions, personal questions, funny questions, random questions, and intriguing questions are just some of the genres of questions you can ask. There really is no limit to what you can ask, just as long as you tailor the questions to your audience. A dirty question might excite your girlfriend but not impress her parents. Just pick a good question and game night will be lots of fun. You might even get some funny answers like the time Ellen DeGeneres played the game on her show with Martha Stewart, Snoop Dogg, and Anna Kendrick. 

To help you achieve this elusive perfect balance, we’ve rounded up 240 of the best “never have I ever” questions out there. The next time you are considering hosting or attending a social gathering, you may want to refer to this list for some inspiration.
