Shockingly Simple Homes of Successful People

Brandon Boyd

When you think of rock stars, you probably picture them living in the lap of luxury, but Brandon Boyd prefers to keep it simple. Lead singer of the band Incubus, Boyd could have purchased a huge home, but he instead lives in a bungalow in Santa Monica, California.

Built in 1923, the home cost Boyd $3.5 million, so it’s still pretty nice despite the small size. The bungalow has original hardwood floors, antique moldings, and high ceilings. The house is a piece of history. Boyd also has a large backyard and a swimming pool so he’s living well but his house is still a far cry from a mansion.

Dave Grohl

Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters is worth hundreds of millions of dollars, but if you are ever lucky enough to be invited over to a party at his place you there’s no way you would guess it. The singer believes in making good financial decisions and is not in the habit of wasting money.

His Los Angeles home is pretty simple. The house, on Nicholson Lane, doesn’t even come close to revealing that its owner is worth $225 million. The only thing that makes this home different from your average house is the recording studio which he added on to the property.
