Katy Perry | Santa Barbara, California

Once a California girl, always a California girl. Well, maybe Katy actually said this because she was born on October 25, 1984, in Santa Barbara, California. Aside from her magnificent Beverly Hills mansion, the chart-topping singer and her beau Orlando Bloom dropped a huge amount of investment money to acquire a sprawling estate in Montecito — and of course, it’s in California. According to Velvet Ropes, the newly purchased mansion has 6 beds and 12 baths, spread over more than 7,000 square feet. The property also boasts a pool cabana and a detached guest house. She indeed represents the West Coast!

Her real name is actually Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson, and Perry is her mother’s maiden name. She did this to avoid confusion with actress Kate Hudson. As we all know, Katy Perry has a lot of hits to her name, including Dark Horse, Firework, and Roar, which topped the Billboard Hot 100.
