The Kardashians
The most famous celebrities that live in California are the Kardashians. The socialite-turned-influencer family is famous for living it up in California. Along with a crash pad in Palm Springs, they also have a palatial estate in Los Angeles. More specifically, they're local to LA.
Kim Kardashian has a $20 million home in Hidden Hills that she's enjoyed since 2014. It's amazing how the time flies. She also happens to have a home in Florida, a home in Hawaii, and a couple of others.
Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis
Considering the hot water the iconic That 70s Show couple is currently in, you might be unsurprised to hear that they've been staying inside more often. The two A-list celebrities have been local to Los Angeles for decades.
Their Architectural Digest-featured home can be found in Beverly Hills. It's one of the larger houses and features a rustic-modern flair that is worth a major magazine layout.
Eddie Murphy
Did you know that Eddie Murphy is one of the most well-paid and wealthy actors in the world? It's true. With money like that, he could live anywhere he wants to. His main residence is in a hyper-exclusive gated community in Beverly Hills alongside Sly Stallone and Denzel Washington.
The community is notoriously difficult to get into. If you are a resident, then you don't just have money. You have clout, too. He was able to snap up the property for an undisclosed amount of money.
Jennifer Aniston
She may have gotten her major breakout hit through being an actress on New York-based Friends, but the truth is that she's still a Cali girl at heart. Jennifer Aniston splits her time evenly between a luxury spot in Gramercy Park and a place in Los Angeles.
Her home, which is located on Airole Way, was once the house of Quincy Jones. It seems like she has a penchant for old-school cool.
Justin Bieber
Canadian-born Justin Bieber might be one of the richest and most famous pop stars in his age bracket. Much like Eddie Murphy, he can live anywhere he wants to. He didn't choose Beverly Hills—contrary to popular belief. He actually chose a different set of hills in Los Angeles.
Bieber's home is on the plush side of Hollywood Hills, where you can actually see an amazing view of the lake below. The coolest thing about it? His home has a wraparound infinity pool that is amazing to swim in…or so we hear.
Leonardo DiCaprio
Few celebrities love California as much as Leonardo DiCaprio does—and he puts his money where his mouth is. DiCaprio is not just a fan of Beverly Hills, though he does have a rather large mansion in that area.
He's also been spotted at properties in Los Angeles, Palm Springs, and elsewhere in the state. It's hard to figure out exactly how many places he has, but it's been certain that he owns at least two Cali properties he regularly visits.
Taylor Swift
While she does have places outside of California, she's no stranger to Beverly Hills. The country-pop star bought the former home of Samuel Goldwyn, of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayers Studios. It cost her $25 million to buy, but it's truly in a league of its own.
Along with an absolutely massive pool, the home features a Hollywood Landmark title. As in, the house is now considered to be a part of Hollywood history. It's currently being restored to its former glory as part of a historic upkeep project. You can't get much more Golden Age of Hollywood than Taylor Swift's home.
Chrissie Teigen and John Legend
While they have been fairly quote and out of the spotlight in recent years, the truth is that they are still fans of California living. Model Chrissie Teigen loves to live in Beverly Hills because it is so close to her favorite places to shoot.
Meanwhile, her husband, John Legend, loves being with Chrissie and also having close access to recording studios. Beverly Hills is where the celebrities play, and when you have a mansion as large as theirs, it's easy to understand why they are homebodies.
Jack Nicholson
It's no secret that Mulholland Drive has become a legendary street in Hollywood history. It's the drive that people go on when they want to see the homes of the biggest stars and one of those stars is Jack Nicholson.
Nicholson bought Marlon Brando's old home to add it to his property on the drive. His sprawling mansion and estate would make many other A-listers turn green with envy.
Adele
Adele is a huge fan of California. She bought not one, not two, but three properties in the 90210 zip code. The most recent one was purchased for $58 million and is part of the same gated community as Eddie Murphy. Not much is known about that home, though it's assumed that it's absolutely spectacular.
Here's the wild thing about Adele and her penchant for Beverly Hills: two of her homes were purchased right across the street from one another. Whether this is because she wanted a posh guest house or she just wanted to collect real estate remains to be seen.
