Arnold Schwarzenegger
Brentwood
Governor Schwarzenegger doesn’t live in California’s Governor’s Mansion (the last California rep to do so was President Ronald Reagan, back when he was a lowly governor). Instead he makes his executive decisions from this $11.9 million home in Brentwood, where he lives with his wife, journalist Maria Shriver. Their 6,000 square foot home sits on a 6-acre compound, which contains a swimming pool and tennis court alongside stunning ocean views.

Rod Stewart
Beverly Park
Accomplished musician Rod Stewart is at home in the exclusive gated community of Beverly Park Estates. He purchased the home in 1991 for $9.5 million. The 18,794 square foot home has 8 bedrooms and 13 baths. Stewart’s now infamous brood, which include socialite Kim and troublemaker Sean, refuse to move out of the home. The rocker has no choice but to renovate to accommodate his offspring. The compound will now include a $2.5 million house in the garden, complete with its own disco. The estate also boasts a pool, tennis court, and detached guesthouse.
