Lionel Richie has called this grand Beverly Hills estate home for more than 25 years, purchasing the property in 1999 for about $6 million from luxury designer and fragrance mogul Bijan Pakzad. Today, the historic residence overlooking the Los Angeles Country Club is estimated to be worth between $30 million and $35 million.

Built in 1929, the Italian Renaissance Revival mansion spans roughly 17,000 square feet with around 28 rooms. Richie spent years carefully transforming the aging property while preserving details like its hand-carved ceilings, Portuguese tilework, and fountain courtyard. Inspired by his travels, the interiors incorporate influences from Italy, Morocco, and the Caribbean alongside antiques, artwork, and family photographs collected over decades.

One of the home's most personal spaces is Richie's library, which doubles as a trophy room displaying career milestones including his Grammys and Academy Award. He also maintains a professional recording studio at the estate, making the property both his longtime family home and a creative workspace.

Outside, limestone terraces descend toward a swimming pool and stone pool house, surrounded by mature landscaping, a rose garden, and lawns overlooking the neighboring golf course.

Shaq once owned this massive 76,000-square-foot lakefront estate in Windermere, Florida, sitting on 3.94 acres along Lake Butler. With a 6,000-square-foot indoor basketball court, a 17-car garage, and a 95-foot pool, the home was impossible to miss and it even appeared on MTV Cribs. Shaq bought the property in 1993 and lived there until selling it for $11 million in 2021. After his divorce, Shaq later opened up about how isolating the home felt. On The Pivot Podcast in 2022, he said: “76,000 square foot house by yourself. Lost. No kids. Go to the gym, nobody playing in the gym. You go to their room, nobody's there. You start to feel it.” Not long before those interviews, Shaq downsized to a much smaller $2 million home in the Dallas suburbs, trading size for peace.

Retired NBA star Tony Parker has cut the price on his Texas compound down to $11 million. Set within Anaqua Springs Ranch near San Antonio, the 53-acre property is best known for housing one of the largest private residential water parks in the country—a fitting legacy for the four-time NBA champion. Parker designed the estate as a personal resort, merging high-end entertaining with sprawling amenities built for family, fitness, and fun. Beyond the main residence, the estate includes a 4-bedroom guesthouse and a 5,922-square-foot gym complex outfitted with a basketball court, arcade, and locker rooms. Outdoor amenities span tennis and volleyball courts, a greenhouse, fruit orchard, and the showstopping water park—complete with slides, grottos, lazy rivers, and waterfalls. More photos in comments.
