Seems celebrities don’t let a little thing like a global recession and a housing slump get in their way of splurging on posh pads. Breaking Celebrity News has a run-down of the winners and losers in the 2011 real estate world, courtesy of our friends at Zillow.com.
Charlize Theron: The 36-year-old South African sold her beachfront Malibu home -- tabbed as the “oldest home on La Costa Beach" in May for $6,562,500, a tremendous success when you consider 1) the down real estate market due to the economy; and 2) she paid $3,495,000 for it seven years earlier.
Ashton Kutcher: It's been a whirlwind year on both personal and professional fronts for the hunky Two and A Half Men star, including on the real estate front. The That 70s Show alum put his customized Beverly Glen home on the market for $2.6 million in February, and sold it for $2.35 million in May. Of course, in the wake of his split from Demi Moore, he probably wishes he held onto it just a little longer.
Christina Aguilera: The Genie In A Bottle singer tried to sell two lavish homes this year, but only one of them moved like Jagger. While her garish $13 million Beverly Hills mansion (once owned by Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne) still has yet to sell (she put it up for sale in March), she had better luck with her home in the Hollywood Hills, which she was able to offload.
Jennifer Aniston: The super-mansion estate in Trousdale Estates neighborhood of Beverly Hills that Friends built -- called "Ohana" -- is on the market for a cool $42 million.
