August’s Top 10 Celebrity Real Estate News
Captain America Lists LA Home – Moving To East Coast
Chris Evans, the star of Captain America, has found a buyer for his expansive Los Angeles home, barely two months after he put it back on the market as he moved back to the East Coast. In May 2025, the 45-year-old actor listed the house for $6.99 million. He delisted it last November after it didn’t find a buyer. Chris relisted the home in June with a fresh set of photos and a revised asking price of $6.39 million. The final sale price has not been published.
Prince Harry & Meghan Likely To List Montecito Mansion
As Prince Harry, Meghan Markle and their kids prepare to move back to Britain, they claim that they will be keeping their Montecito mansion. However, a source in the Santa Barbara luxury real estate market told the New York Post that there “have been rumblings” the couple will sell the property, adding that “every broker wants that listing.”
While the prince was getting about $800,000 a year from the Duchy of Cornwall during his time as a working prince, and he still has deals with Netflix and Spotify reported to be worth millions of dollars, the Montecito home’s mortgage and tax payments alone run about $600,000 per year. Enough to make any royal couple think twice about selling.

House Beautiful has a look at Walt Disney’s homes, including Walt Disney’s storybook home in Los Feliz, the Palm Springs home he sold to help fund the down payment for Disneyland, and his Holmby Hills home with a miniature railroad in the backyard.
King-of-His-Castle Mark Zuckerberg Buys a Fairy-Tale Castle
The fifth-richest person on the planet, Mark Zuckerberg, is now officially in charge of his own castle. Strancally Castle, a massive three-story Gothic Revival building in County Waterford, Ireland, on the south coast of the country, now belongs to the Meta CEO and his wife, Priscilla Chan. According to a statement from Zuckerberg’s spokesperson, Brian Baker, “Mark and his family are excited to continue caring for this historic home and look forward to spending time in Ireland, where Meta maintains its international headquarters.”
Strancally Castle was constructed around 1830 and has a view of the Blackwater River, is about 440 acres in size and 16,000 square feet in size. The Irish Times, which first reported the transaction, estimates the house sold for between €20 million and €30 million (US$23.3 million and US$35 million).
Historic White Plains Home of the Dolly Sisters
One of the month’s most interesting home listing is a White Plains, New York, estate with a story rooted in the golden age of American entertainment. Originally constructed in 1924 as a summer home for the Dolly Sisters, famed Hungarian-born twins who were among the biggest stars of Broadway and vaudeville in the 1910s and ’20s, the 1.12-acre estate was built in the style of the Newport “Cottages,” the grand summer retreats favored by society’s elite, and the original details are well intact.
The 6,254-square-foot home has seven bedrooms, wide-plank floors, detailed woodwork, and windows that are original to the sisters, alongside coffered ceilings, grand fireplaces, an impressive central staircase, and a porte-cochère once large enough to accommodate a horse-drawn carriage. The home is listed for $2.795 million with Stacey Pinkas and John Oliveria of Douglas Elliman.
Max Weinberg Drums Up Sale In Just a Few Days
The longtime drummer for Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band, Max Weinberg, sold his two plots of land on the Intracoastal in Palm Beach in just a couple of days for $13 million. Measuring about 325 feet of waterfront, it is one of the last empty pieces of Intracoastal land in the Palm Beaches.
Elizabeth Taylor’s Longtime Home Lives On
Despite rumors that the longtime Bel-Air home of Elizabeth Taylor was going to be demolished, builder Ardie Tavangarian plans to restore the home, including the large room where she kept her fabled jewelry in velvet-lined cases. Tavangarian is planning to add a large addition that will blend with and connect to the existing home. He plans to keep the Elizabeth Taylor home, including the master bedroom, bath, and beauty center largely as Elizabeth left them. Taylor bought the home from Frank Sinatra’s first wife and lived there from the 1980s until her death in 2011.
Fess Parker & Julia Child’s Santa Barbara Mansion
The Santa Barbara home where Fess Parker, star of Daniel Boone and Davy Crockett, lived and where Julia Child shot her 1980s PBS cooking series Dinner at Julia’s is for sale, asking $21.95 million. The estate has five bedrooms, a tennis court, a pool, rose gardens, and a citrus allée. The property is called Four Oaks because of the four mature oak trees on the property.
Aaron Rodgers Leaving New Jersey
Two months after signing a new contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers, where he played last season, NFL great Aaron Rodgers has listed his New Jersey mansion with postcard views of the Manhattan skyline for $15 million. The 10,000-square-foot home is located on a 2.4-acre wooded lot and includes eight bedrooms, a custom chef’s kitchen, polished white flooring, and hardwood cabinets and staircases. Rodgers bought the home in 2023 for $9.5 million when he was playing for the New York Jets.
