When celebs did business with each other
Bumping into each other on the red carpet is common. But is it as common in the real estate market? The rich and famous tend to buy homes from those in the same league. They often look for amenities and luxurious features, like extra security from paparazzi, personal gyms, theatres, and even salons. Of course, these aren’t features that normal people can afford, thus it makes sense to buy properties from fellow celebrities. Here are 10 celebrities who sold their properties to other stars.
1. Charlie Sheen to Kendall Jenner
In 2017, supermodel and TV personality Kendall Jenner bought a sprawling Beverly Hills home from actor Charlie Sheen for $8.55 million, as per House Digest. Sheen had reportedly bought the property for his ex-wife Brooke Mueller in 2012. After the purchase, Jenner splurged on the eye-popping, five-bedroom, yellow Mediterranean mansion for a complete modern makeover. She revamped the home in a more minimalist style, doing away with Mueller’s grandiose decor and creating a clean and more modern look.
2. Justin Bieber to Khloe Kardashian to YouTube star Dhar Mann
Khloe Kardashian’s former Calabasas home was featured on the show “Keeping Up With the Kardashians”. What fans may not know is that Kardashian bought the sprawling Tuscan-style villa that originally belonged to Eddie Murphy’s ex-wife, Nicole. In 2012, Nicole sold the 9,320-square-foot house to Justin Bieber for $6.5 million. Two years later, Kardashian bought the mansion from Bieber for $7.2 million, as per the Architectural Digest. She spent a lot of money customizing the place and in 2020 she sold it to YouTube star Dhar Mann for $15.5 million.

The property overlooking the city and mountains features amenities like a massive home gym, an outdoor kitchen, a pool, a spa, and an expansive kitchen with a butler’s pantry.
