Rosie O’Donnell – Star Island, $19.5 Million
After being fired from Oprah’s network in 2012, it didn’t seem like Rosie O’Donnell could turn things around. However, after a few great roles and selling the majority of her homes, O’Donnell is now a comeback! One of the homes she could not part with, though, is her home in Flordia. Not that the actress and talk show host didn’t try – she just can’t seem to find a buyer.
O’Donnell picked the massive 11,000-square-foot, 6-bedroom home back in 1999, at the height of her popularity. Immediately, she got to work, making it her own, renovating it top to bottom. It now has a new master bedroom with a private office, multiple fireplaces, a dock, and even a guardhouse! While an appraiser lists the home’s value at around $8 million, O’Donnell’s unwilling to part with it for any less than $19 million. Maybe that’s why she can’t find a buyer!
Kirk Douglas – Palm Springs, California, $3.5 Million
Just a few days after celebrating his 103rd birthday this year, actor Kirk Douglas, one of the few remaining stars of Hollywood’s Golden Age, passed away. However, fans have so many ways to remember him by, including one stranger one: you can currently rent Kirk Douglas’ fabulous Palm Spring mansion on Airbnb. If you have $450-$900 a night, that is!
The incredible 5-bedroom, 8-bathroom home in Palm Springs comes complete with a tennis court and pool. Wish you could own this house for a lifetime? Well, good news! Not only is it rentable, but it’s also on the market for $3.5 million. Another major plus? The property backs up to Leonardo DiCaprio’s house!
