14. Bob Hope’s Palm Springs UFO
Undoubtedly one of the most distinctly-designed California celebrity properties belongs to legendary comedian and entertainment industry figure Bob Hope. The space-inspired property located in Palm Springs, California looks modeled after a giant spacecraft and is composed of 10 individually-styled bedrooms and bathrooms. The gigantic 23,000-square-foot mansion was constructed in 1973 and was additionally the largest house ever designed by the acclaimed architect John Lautner. When the property first went up on the market in 2013, it was originally listed for $50 million. Despite dropping to a significantly lower asking price of $13 million, the property still managed to set the record for the priciest sale in Palm Springs when it was purchased by billionaire investor Ron Burkle, co-founder of the successful Yucaipa Companies, LLC.
13. Adam Levine’s Hidden Estate
class=”ad-label-with-close-btn full-width”> Another huge celebrity in the pop music industry, Adam Levine is notorious for his big spending on gorgeous California properties. One of his most recent ventures, consisting of a Holmby Hills estate designed by architect Caspar Ohmcke in 1966, reportedly cost a whopping $18 million. The gated 9,200-square-foot property estate houses five bedrooms, including two master suites and 5.5 bathrooms, and includes views of the beautiful Los Angeles Country Club. While Levine spent a hefty price on his relocation to his hidden estate, the original asking price for the luxury property was surprisingly even higher than what the chart-topping platinum-selling artist paid for, originally listed for $19.9 million. Other features of the extravagant piece of real estate include a garden-view solarium, gorgeous marble bathrooms, a three-car garage, a gated motor court, and a two-story guest house.
