Exploring the Extravagant Real Estate Holdings of Hollywood Icon Tom Cruise

Tom Cruise has been charming and charismatic on the big screen since 1981. He is known for his charismatic roles in a number of series films, such as Mission Impossible. Over the course of his 40-year career, the actor from Top Gun has been in more than 40 movies. He has worked with some of Hollywood’s top A-list actors, both old and young, like Val Kilmer, Kelly McGillis, Joe Pantoliano, Cameron Diaz, Penelope Cruz, Jason Lee, comedian Jamie Foxx, Cuba Gooding Jr., Ving Rhames, and Miles Teller. But he hasn’t been an actor just to make his resume look good. Over the course of his work, he has built up a net worth of $600 million by making smart real estate purchases. Let’s take a look at Tom Cruise’s collection of million-dollar homes.

West Sussex English Estate, UK – $4.2 Million

When most people think of famous people’s homes, they think of Drake’s YOLO Estate in Hidden Hills, California, or the town of Tarzana, where many famous people have bought a lot of land. But Love Property says that in 2006, Cruise set his eyes on a huge house in Dorman’s Park in East Grinstead that cost $4.2 million. The huge building is 11,000 square feet long and sits on 14 acres of land. It has eight bedrooms and five bathrooms. But the award-winning actor didn’t choose West Sussex just because it has modern architecture and well-kept grounds all around.Tom Cruise has been open about his loyalty to the Church of Scientology, which is one of the things he is known for. Ironically, the offices of Scientology are in Saint Hill Manor, which is in East Grinstead. So, he may have chosen this place because he loves the UK, but this could also be a strong reason. A lot of other famous people, like Catherine Bell, John Travolta, singer Isaac Hayes, and Jason Dohring, also call themselves Scientologists.

Hollywood Hills, California – $11.7 Million

Now, Cruise’s next house is in Hollywood Hills, which is more like where a celebrity’s mansion would be. Angelina Jolie, who played Lara Croft in the movie Tomb Raider, Jessica Simpson, the rapper French Montana, and the actress and singer Miley Cyrus have all been to this area because of how popular it is. In 2005, when he was at the top of his career, he bought the Italian-style house for about $11.7 million. It was built in 2004, but in 2006, possibly by Cruise himself, it was changed. It has seven bedrooms, nine bathrooms, and a pool in the shape of a pond. It is surrounded by three acres of land, which adds to its privacy, peace, and charm. In 2015, Cruise put the house up for sale for $13 million. Reality TV star Eva Longoria bought it from him for $11.4 million.

Beverly Hills Manor – $32.5 Million

In 2007, when he was still in his prime, the War of the Worlds star bought the impressive Beverly Hills Manor for $32.5 million in a deal that was not advertised. The expensive home was bought with his star wife Katie Holmes, who he had just married. The house was built in 1937 and has a huge living space of 10,286 square feet. It has seven bedrooms, nine bathrooms, and plenty of space for the couple to be alone. Shortly after they got married, they found out they were going to have their first girl, Suri. It made sense that the other features would include a big swimming pool, a children’s playground, a tennis court, and a hotel. Six years later, the couple broke up, and Rethinking the Future says that the Hollywood star sold the house for $40 million, which is about $8 million more than what he paid for it.

Getaway Colorado Ranch  – $39.5 Million

Mr. Mission Impossible isn’t the only famous person who likes to live in a quiet place away from the bright lights of Beverly Hills and Calabasas, California. For example, Guardians of the Galaxy star Josh Brolin’s house in Atlanta’s Chastain Park was a big change from his usual home in California. In the same way, when Cruise bought the 320-acre piece of land in Colorado in the early 1990s, he planned to turn it into his own Mission: Impossible-style ranch. The 10,000-square-foot home is surrounded by mountains and was designed by Tom Cruise himself. It has floor-to-ceiling fireplaces, high ceilings, a large dining room, and balconies and patios with beautiful views.The farm is very private, but there is a lot to do there because it is surrounded by wild forest land and ski hills. This makes it a great place to go hiking or skiing. In 2008, the famous conversation with Tom Cruise that Oprah Winfrey did with him took place in this luxury home. Other features include an exercise center, a snowmelt system, a wet bar, underground heating, and a three-bedroom cabin that is different from the main house. After putting his blood, sweat, and tears into this house, he put it up for sale in 2021 for $39.5 million.

Cruise’s Clearwater Penthouse – $9.6 Million

Cruise lives on the top two floors of the building, which gives him great views of the city. He also has access to a private outdoor swimming pool, a pool garden, a movie theater, a car lift, a rooftop deck, a hot tub, and a gym. Even though he has been married before and it didn’t work out, no one can say that he isn’t living his best life as a single man, even though he is 60 years old.
