There’s No Place Like Home: These Celebrities Never Left Their Hometowns

It doesn’t matter how successful these celebrities become in Hollywood; they will always return to their roots. They live at high-profiled real estate properties from Los Angeles to New York, where most of the biggest stars have at least one home. However, since some of them are incredibly wealthy these days, more often or not, these celebrities would always purchase a piece of land in the same city where they grew up. The Beverly Hills mansions with gorgeous infinity pools and the luxurious penthouses on the Upper East Side aren’t enough to make these stars feel at home. Maybe nothing beats going back to the place where they spent most of their childhood.

It might even come as a shock to you when you realize that most of our favorite stars are living in their hometown. Once in a while, they might be living in the city of angels’ concrete jungle; whenever they are working on a movie project, they come home to places such as Ohio, Alabama, Tennessee, and many more. They put a lot of their investment money on these properties because it is worth it. Here are some celebrities living in small towns away from the paparazzi; some might even be living next door.

Kevin Jonas | New Jersey

Kevin Jonas is known for being a Disney child star. The now 33-year-old and his brothers Nick and Joe used to be a part of the popular boy band called The Jonas Brothers. Unlike his brothers, Kevin chose a quiet life away from the spotlight.

As of 2021, with a jaw-dropping net worth of $40 million, Kevin must have a financial advisor who helps him keep track of his growing assets. He has been happily married to his wife Danielle Deleasa since December 19, 2009. They now share two beautiful daughters, Alena Rose and Valentina Angelina. This little family has a lot of property investments in the Garden State because Kevin was practically born at Teaneck, New Jersey and born at Wyckoff. In fact, some of it was designed by the custom home company that Kevin himself co-founded. It makes sense that these love birds live in a $2.5-million mansion in New Jersey with their beautiful kids.

Eminem | Detroit, Michigan

Eminem’s whopping net worth of $230 million means he has a lot of real estate properties all over the United States. He must have hired a financial advisor to keep track of his growing assets.

He spent most of his childhood in Michigan and he had never been shy about how much he loves his hometown. In fact, in 2001 he bought an 8,900-square-foot home in Clinton Township, Michigan. He spent over $1.5 million on this property. For years, this became Eminem’s primary residence. Two years later he made another real estate purchase. This iconic rapper spent a staggering $4.8 million for a 15,000-square-foot mansion in Oakland, Michigan. It was surrounded by electric fences and even had a 24-hour manned guard booth for his safety. Despite all that, he ended up selling the estate for $1.9 million.

Reese Witherspoon | Nashville, Tennessee

45-year-old Reese Witherspoon may have been born in New Orleans, Louisiana, but she was raised in Nashville, Tennessee by both of her parents who are doctors. Given the fact that she is a multi-awarded actress who is basically one of the most influential women in the world, it makes sense that as of 2021, her net worth is already estimated to be around $240 million.

Over the years she has been wise enough to value her hard-earned money. In fact, she does some careful investment planning before spending wads of cash for a property. Sure, she has large mansions in Los Angeles just like most Hollywood A-listers. However, Reese’s properties are mostly located in Nashville, Tennessee, the place where she feels most at home. Three of her mansions are in the area. Reese and her husband Jim Toth would split their time between her hometown and Pacific Palisades, Los Angeles, where their $12.7-million property is located.

Drake | Toronto, Ontario

Canadian rapper Drake is one of the most prominent figures in popular music. He is given credit for making Toronto sound so famous. This 34-year-old singer-songwriter was born in Toronto, Ontario, on October 24, 1986. He spent most of his childhood in the Great White North.

Now that he is rich and famous with a $180 million net worth, Drake can buy any property he wants and he has a lot of mansions in the United States. However, he still stays true to his roots as a real Canuck. In fact, Drake purchased a piece of land in suburban Toronto back in 2016. At that time, it was valued at $6.7 million and a 35,000 square feet chateau-style mansion was set to be built on it. It was rumored that it will include a rooftop hot tub, an NBA-regulation-sized basketball court, and a garage that can fit ten cars. Moreover, he also has a gorgeous condo in downtown Toronto. Drake is basically living large in his hometown.

Hugh Jackman | Sydney, Australia

The ever-so-dreamy Aussie actor Hugh Jackman is one of the best actors in Hollywood. He also holds the longest career as a live-action Marvel superhero according to the Guinness World Records. Not only was he born and raised in Sydney, Australia, but he also got his degree and graduated from the University of Technology Sydney and Edith Cowan University. He may have started working as a professional actor a little later than some of our biggest stars, but it was better late than never.

As of 2021, Hugh has a net worth of around $200 million and one of his properties is an 11,000 square-foot living space inside a ten-floor building in New York City. The property was valued at $40 million in 2012. However, this star is not about to shy away from his hometown. In 2016, the Sydney-born actor bought a $6-million estate with his beautiful wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, in the Land Down Under. Their humble abode is a lot fancier than his childhood home, nonetheless, it is still close to his roots.

Jamie Lynn Spears | Kentwood, Louisiana

Zoey 101 star Jamie Lynn Spears was one of the biggest Nickelodeon teen icons back in the early 2000s. She was born in McComb, Mississippi, but she practically grew up in Kentwood, Louisiana. Now that Jamie is all grown up, one of her latest projects is the Netflix romantic drama series Sweet Magnolias where she plays the role of Noreen Fitzgibbons. The 30-year-old has a whopping net worth of $6 million, as of 2021.

Over the years, Jamie has purchased several real estate properties, which was a part of her investment planning. Despite her fame and fortune, she still decidedly purchased houses in the place where she was born and raised. Jamie bought a 2,528-square-foot home located in Liberty, Mississippi. After she sold her 3-bedroom home back in 2010, she moved to Brentwood, Tennessee, where she bought a 6,242-square-foot home. Right now, Jamie is residing at Kentwood, Louisiana. In fact, her sister Britney Spears traveled back home to live with Jamie and her daughters for a while.

Zach Galifianakis | Alleghany County, North Carolina

American comedian and actor Zachary Knight Galifianakis is famously known for starring in The Hangover trilogy from 2009 to 2013. To this day, he is still extremely famous. In fact, his net worth of $40 million is still growing and he is using some of it as investment money for real estate properties.

This 51-year-old star has houses all over the United States. One of which is an 833-square-foot home with 2-bedrooms and a bath. He purchased it back in 2002 and at the time the property was valued at $566 thousand. This home is located in Los Angeles, like most Hollywood actors, he needed to have a place there. However, growing up in North Carolina gave Zach a deep connection to his hometown so it made sense when he bought a 60-acre farm up in Alleghany County, North Carolina. He calls this estate, Farmageddon. It is said that the farm has horses and honeybees. Given the fact that Zach is also a writer, he utilizes the place as a writing retreat too.

Warren Buffett | Omaha, Nebraska

He may be one of the richest men in the world, but Warren Buffett never forgot about the town he grew up in. The seventh-wealthiest person was born in Omaha, Nebraska. He even got his Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. As of June 12, 2021, his net worth was already estimated to be around $110 billion.

Warren obviously owns a lot of real estate properties. After all, he is an incredible investor. Oddly enough, he still decided to live in a quiet town in Omaha, Nebraska. Despite earning millions of dollars every year, he chose to live in a modest five-bedroom home. He bought the property back in 1956 and it only cost him $31,500. This humble American is one of the most relatable billionaires on earth. A home can be purchased in the same neighborhood as Warren’s for about $2 million, proving that the area isn’t exactly Bel Air level.

Chance, alongside his wife, Kristen Corley, moved into this humble abode back in 2018. This $4.2-million condo has an exercise room and a spa attached to it. This contemporary home is complete with a floor-to-ceiling wall that overlooks the ever-so-gorgeous Lake Michigan.

John Cusack | Chicago, Illinois

American superstar John Cusack, along with his sister Joan Cusack (who is just as famous) was born outside of Chicago. The 54-year-old actor was born in Evanston, Illinois.

Acting was something he really felt passionate about. His career took off when he began taking roles for films in the early eighties.

Eventually, John became a huge success, and as of 2020, he’s been reported to have a net worth of $50 million. John was smart enough to invest his money in real estate properties. After all, it must have been part of his financial planning. He once owned a beachfront property in Malibu worth $2.1 million but was able to sell it for a whopping $10.3 million. Like a lot of famous celebrities, John is one of those who stays true to his roots. In fact, in 2005, he purchased a 5,000 square-foot condo worth $2.9 million located in his beloved Chicago.

Jeff Daniels | Chelsea, Michigan

66-year-old American actor and musician Jeff Daniels is a multi-awarded celebrity. He has received several Golden Globe awards and two Primetime Emmy Awards. It comes as no surprise that this veteran actor’s net worth is already around $45 million. He must have a financial advisor who helps him keep track of his growing assets.

Jeff was born in Athens, Georgia, but since his parents were originally from Michigan, they went back to that town. Growing up in Chelsea became so enriching for him. In fact, he got his college degree from Central Michigan University. He started rising to prominence in the seventies. Eventually, he attained all the fame and fortune that comes with being a successful actor. Despite that he has numerous real estate properties all around the United States, he chose to reside in Chelsea, Michigan, with his wife and three kids. He even runs a company he founded in his hometown, the Purple Rose Theatre.

Usher | Atlanta, Georgia

Velvet Ropes mentioned that the LA home only has two bedrooms, with the two kids occupying each room. Their parents, on the other hand, sleep in the living room. However, this might not be their setup since Finneas already moved out and reportedly paid $2.73 million in October 2019 for an estate in Los Feliz, a known neighborhood in Los Angeles.

Billie has become one of the biggest names in music. Some of her known hits are Bad Guy, Everything I Wanted, and Therefore I Am, which later entered the Billboard Hot 100 top 10. In 2020, she became the youngest artist to win four major categories at the Grammys.

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.

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.

In relation to that, Paltrow reportedly owns two houses in the US, one in the Hamptons and one in Brentwood, Los Angeles, where she and Brad got married. The house has no known specifications, but it surely has multiple bedrooms and baths for her two children, Apple and Moses.

Gwyneth has acting credits in numerous films, including Iron-Man, Avengers: Endgame, and Shakespeare in Love, where she snatched an Academy Award for Best Actress.

Rihanna | Barbados

In an interview for The Ellen Show, Riri was asked where she lived, but her reply was kind of vague. However, she mentioned that she has an apartment in Los Angeles as well as in New York, and she pretty much lives around the world.

In 2013, Mail Online revealed that she finally purchased the beachside home in Barbados — in the One Sandy Lane resort that she was renting.
