Shockingly Simple Homes of Successful People

Zooey Deschanel

Much like her character on The New Girl, Zooey Deschanel is a bit quirky, preferring thrift shops to designer boutiques. The actress and singer makes more money in a month than most people make in an entire year, but that doesn’t mean she’s spending it all.

Thanks to her recent divorce from her husband Ben Gibbard, fans learned that Zooey put most of the money she earns each month in the bank. Instead of living in an opulent mansion, the She & Him singer lives in a humble home in Manhattan Beach.

Nicky Hilton

A Hilton has to be living someplace showy, or at least you would think! Paris Hilton’s little sis decided not to follow in her footsteps which is probably a good thing. Nicky Hilton works as a fashion designer but, unlike her infamous sister, she prefers to stay out of the spotlight.

Nicky Hilton prefers modest tastefulness over ostentatious extravagance. Her three bedroom home is a decent-sized 4,072 feet. The 1940s home cost Hilton nearly $3 million, but it’s also just a short walk from Sunset Boulevard. You know what they say: location, location, location. The modest, two-story home costs more just because of its prime location.
