David Attenborough, 94 years old – West London, ~ Value Undisclosed

Nature programming just doesn't sound the same if it isn't narrated by David Attenborough. The British broadcaster and nature historian is renowned for hosting some of the most iconic nature shows such as the BBC's life series, Blue Planet, Netflix's Our Planet, and he also started shooting Green Planet in 2020.

So it's fitting that he has a home that is also a wildlife haven with an animal theme where he once kept monkeys, snakes, lemurs, and chameleons. In 2009, he bought an adjacent pub next-door to stop developers from turning it into a block of flats. He has lived in the house for 58 years.

Sam Elliott, 76 years old – Malibu, ~ Value Undisclosed

On your left is a rare photo of the actor Sam Elliot, without his mustache. It looks pretty strange considering how well known he is for it, but at least he stayed true to his cowboy look by owning a ranch.

As a matter of fact, he is a proud owner of not one but two ranches. One in Oregon and this 33-acre estate in Malibu, California. The estate is not far from the ocean and is surrounded by trees. Being the gruff, tough guy he is, Elliott was on hand to save his home when the 2018 California fires destroyed over 14,000 structures.

It was recently revamped and includes both front and back porches and three fireplaces and a new dining room and kitchen. While Murray no longer owns it, he still resides in Palisades.

Judge Judy Sheindlin, 76 years old – Greenwich, ~$13.2 million

While many courtroom TV reality shows have popped up in recent years, none of them have been able to outdo Judge Judy. The wisecracking small claims judge is still the most popular judge on TV, although, in 2020, she announced that the 25th season would be its last, with a new show, Judy Justice, set to start on Amazon.

She also built up a substantial net worth of $440 million, which means the $13.2 million she spent on the 12.5-acre property in 2007. She then had the whole structure demolished and had a 16,993 square foot mansion with nine-bedroom, 8.5 Bathroom built in its place.

Hugh Bonneville, 56 Years Old – Sussex, ~ Value Undisclosed

Being famous for playing one of the lead characters in the classic British series Downton Abbey must've rubbed off on Hugh Bonneville. Because instead of getting himself a nice mansion or modern villa, He decided to get himself a former cottage that has been refurbished into a hamlet house.

Now he has a healthy $200-million bank balance, so he can afford any dream house he wants. But instead, he's renting a dreamy Beverly Park mansion for $110K per month. It makes sense to live here short-term since he spends time in South Africa filming Family Feud. Its selling price is a hefty $165 million, which is nearly all of Harvey's net worth. He already owns several properties in the U.S.

Dennis Quaid, 66 Years Old – Paradise Valley, Montana, ~ $14 million

As a result, his property has two ponds, a set of stables, a planetarium, and riding paths all over the place. Oh, and as a living arrangement, Quaid built a 5,315 square-foot three bedrooms and four bathrooms house with a living room and a huge fireplace. After he went through all that trouble, Quaid listed the property in 2011 for $14 million.

It used to be Selleck's apartment, although Selleck didn't want it to look anything like that, so he brought in interior designer James Blakeley III to turn the 1,800 square foot condo into a sophisticated Edwardian inspired home, most of which was inspired by his new British bride.

She has been a politician and attorney for years, having served as the District Attorney of San Francisco, Attorney General, and Senator of California.

Harris is clearly a hard-working woman, and therefore, has a net worth of at least $5 million. It is most likely a minimum estimated figure because her house in Brentwood, Los Angeles, alone is worth $5.4 million, as per Town and Country magazine. It's a 3,500 square-foot home with four bedrooms and a pool, which makes it worth the price.

In 2020, Cruz made headlines when he defended outgoing U.S. President Donald Trump when he went as far as saying that he wouldn’t consider college votes. His objections didn't go anywhere because come January 20, 2021, Joe Biden took the mantle after his unforgettable inauguration.

Marco Rubio, 49 Years Old – West Miami, FL, ~ $720K

Rubio's home came back on the market three years later with a $720K price tag. Rubio bought the house in 2005 for $550K, but Zillow estimated that an owner-occupied house in the location has a median home value of around $202K.
