DIANA ROSS – $16.9 MILLION, CONNECTICUT

Diana Ross’s success started in the 1960s as the lead singer of the famous girl group The Supremes. They became Motown’s most successful act and one of the world’s best-selling girl groups of all time. Following her separation from the group, Ross embarked on a highly successful solo career in music and in films and stage. With a net worth of $250 million, she wouldn’t need any home loans in purchasing mansions.

Since 2006, Ross has been living in her Connecticut mansion, which she bought for $16.9 million. The 12,500-square-foot Colonial-style house is on five-acre land and comes with a swimming pool and a tennis court. The 3.4-acre lawn is sprawling with short green grass, while the house has brick-wrapped walls with slate roofing. It’s in a secluded area but still accessible to downtown Greenwich. The interior has a classical look with big pillars and high ceilings.
