April's Celebrity Real Estate Highlights

The month of April brought some intriguing developments in the celebrity real estate market, with several high-profile personalities making headlines. Let’s dive into this month's top stories featuring Mariah Carey, Ben Affleck, Marilyn Monroe, and other notable figures.

Mariah Carey Lists Her NYC Penthouse

Mariah Carey has officially listed her stunning Tribeca penthouse for a noteworthy $27 million. This expansive 12,728-square-foot residence, originally part of the former Corn Exchange Bank building, has a rich history. Carey acquired it back in 1999 when she merged a luxurious duplex penthouse valued at $5.5 million with a $3.5 million full-floor unit beneath it. Not only does the penthouse boast breathtaking views stretching from the Hudson River to the iconic Manhattan skyline, but it also features an impressive 1,100 square feet of outdoor space.

Ben Affleck Transfers Mansion Share to Jennifer Lopez

In an unexpected move, Ben Affleck has transferred his share of their lavish Beverly Hills mansion to ex-wife Jennifer Lopez without any conditions. The couple had purchased this massive estate in May 2023 for a staggering $61 million, equipped with 12 bedrooms and 24 bathrooms. After placing the home on the market at $68 million following Jennifer’s divorce filing, the price has since been slashed to $50 million due to a lack of buyer interest.

Marilyn Monroe's Home Receives Historic Designation

A landmark decision in Los Angeles saw Marilyn Monroe's former residence in Brentwood declared a historic monument, which now shields the property from major alterations. Current owners, who purchased the home for $8 million in 2023 and had plans for demolition, are now suing the city, claiming the historic status has rendered the home virtually worthless. Marilyn originally bought this house in 1962 for a mere $75,000 and spent her final days there until her untimely passing.

Pink's New York Townhome Acquisition

In a significant lifestyle shift, rock star Pink has made a notable purchase in New York City, acquiring a historic townhome in Greenwich Village for $21.5 million. Built in 1849, this five-bedroom residence features 8,000 square feet and has remained with the same family for over six decades. Pink is relocating from California to support her daughter’s interest in studying theater and to foster proximity to the vibrant Broadway scene.

Pete Davidson's Westchester Listing

After experiencing a substantial loss on his Staten Island condo, comedian Pete Davidson has put his Westchester home on the market for $2.27 million. This four-bedroom estate, set on six picturesque acres, was acquired in 2023 for $1.95 million. According to reports, Davidson aims to relocate closer to his family, prompting this sale.

Katharine Hepburn's Iconic Residence Adjusts Price

The renowned New York City townhouse once owned by legendary Oscar-winning actress Katharine Hepburn has seen a price drop once again. Originally listed at $7.2 million in 2024, the 19-foot-wide property is now on the market for $6.195 million after enduring a series of price reductions. Hepburn notably inhabited the home from 1931, prior to her Hollywood debut, until her passing in 2003.

Sharon Osbourne Lists Family Home

Following Ozzy Osbourne's passing, Sharon has placed their shared Los Angeles home up for sale at an asking price of $17 million. The couple acquired the property for $11.85 million in 2015 and undertook several renovations over the years to uphold its early 20th-century architectural charm. The home was initially listed for $18 million in 2022 before being taken off the market, only to return at a lowered price.

Kevin James' Floridian Move

Television star Kevin James is making a move to Florida, having splurged on a contemporary abode in Boca Raton for $17.5 million. This luxurious six-bedroom residence boasts an expansive 8,600 square feet with amenities including a wine room, dual kitchens, and picturesque views of a nearby golf course. Often considered the “Beverly Hills of Florida,” Boca Raton presents an upscale lifestyle to James and his family.

Bing Crosby’s Historic Mansion Returns To Market

Bing Crosby’s San Francisco mansion, which sold last year for $25 million, has received an extensive update and is now back on the market with a price tag of $28.995 million. This French chateau-style residence, originally acquired by Crosby in the 1960s for $175,000, showcases 11 bedrooms and spans 18,535 square feet across 2.4 acres of prime real estate.

Jean Harlow’s Mansion Features Hidden Bar

Lastly, the spectacular Holmby Hills mansion that once belonged to Hollywood’s early sex symbol, Jean Harlow, is currently listed for sale at $16.8 million.
