Celebrities are known for being runners-up houses. It’s like once a person becomes a celebrity they have to sign a contract stating that in order to become a true celebrity they have to buy a second home. The general perception is that celebrities buy second homes because they want to flash their money. To a certain extent this statement is true; Many celebrities buy second homes to show off their wealth. However, one of the top reasons celebrities cite for buying a second home is that they are looking for a little peace and quiet. Believe it or not, celebrity life is extremely tough as there is constant public exposure. Second homes for celebrities are a retreat, a place to get away from it all.

Let’s find out where all these celebrities are hiding to take a break. What follows is a list of a number of prominent second homes.

Julia Louis Dreyfus and Brad Hall

Features of the home include solar panels, natural light, energy efficient appliances and a retractable sunroof.

George Clooney

At the end of last year, there were rumors that George Clooney would sell this luxurious property. The rumors suggested that constant harassment from the paparazzi had forced him to sell. But Clooney soon issued a statement that he had no intention of leaving and we can see why. The mansion is located on the shores of Lake Como in Italy and features 15 bedrooms, a fully equipped gym and a personal outdoor pool. Why would Clooney ever want to leave?!?

Madonna

The house is a Georgian townhouse and was bought for a whopping $12. It has ten bedrooms! If Madonna wanted a retreat, London wasn’t really her best option. However, in terms of investment, she definitely hit the jackpot, not that she really needs it.
