OPRAH WINFREY – $50 MILLION, CALIFORNIA

Oprah Winfrey is someone who needs no introduction. She’s known to have more than a few real estate investments in California, each with their own nicknames. Indeed, her first California property, which she rather aptly nicknamed “Promised Land,” was purchased for $50 million back in 2001. The 23,000-square-foot home had apparently been meticulously redecorated to suit Oprah’s opulent tastes, and much effort was expended in this regard.

Now it’s her most impressive real estate. When Oprah was asked what she felt about the home, she said she knows it’s special, and that every single guest she’s had had the same opinion about it. In 2016 she acquired an adjacent property so now the total of land she owns is 255 thousand square meters, a ranch-style house and numerous stables. In 2019 she paid $6.85 million for the house next door.
