Shockingly Simple Homes of Successful People

Hilary Swank

Hilary Swank’s New York City home is far from swanky. Her 1,400 square foot home in the West Village is also a testament to just how darned expensive a home in the city can be. With such a small living area, you would probably expect her rent to be pretty low, but nope. The home, which she has recently started renting out, costs residents $20,000 a month.

Still, if you’ve got the money, it would be worth it to live in a space where the lead actress of Million Dollar Baby once lived and breathed as she rose to stardom. Rumor has it that the home is filled with shabby-chic furniture purchased on a budget.

Tori Spelling

Tori Spelling is a celebrity who definitely grew up in the kind of house you’d expect her famous family to have. Spelling Manor has over 100 rooms and recently sold for a whopping $85 million. Spelling was probably a pretty lonely kid, growing up in such a big mansion, so when she grew up she opted for a much smaller option.

She and her partner, reality TV star Dean McDermott, have a three bedroom bungalow. The one story home is just 2,400 square feet, but sits on 1.73 acres of land so their kids have plenty of room to play.
