Whether we’re poking our noses into the latest issue of Architectural Digest or driving by Jackie Chan’s sprawling estate in Hollywood, snooping around in someone else’s home is quite an appealing prospect. When these homes are owned by some of the wealthiest and most famous celebrities in Britain, the need to scratch the itch is even greater.

We might tell ourselves that celebrities are just like us but take one look at their lavish multi-million-dollar palatial homes and hyper rare sports cars, and fiction quickly gives way to reality. Join us as we take a sneak peek into the homes of some of the biggest stars in the United Kingdom.

Cheryl Cole – $6.5 million, Hertfordshire

In early 2017, Cheryl Cole put up her eco-friendly estate in Hertfordshire on the market for $6.5 million. The sale was prompted by the “X-Factor” judge’s desire to start a new life with her ex-partner and One Direction member Liam Payne.

The “Fight for This Love” singer had just given birth to her baby son Bear with Payne and was prepared to part ways with her ultra-modern 8,000-square-foot residence to move in with the One Direction singer instead. Cole sent her fans and the mainstream media into a frenzy in June 2021 when she returned to social media after a one-year hiatus.
