Shockingly Simple Homes of Successful People

Lea Michele

This starlet started starring on Broadway when she was just a kid, so she’s had a couple of decades to amass enough wealth to purchase a huge house. Still, despite being known for her role as the notoriously high-strung Rachel Barry on the hit show Glee, Lea Michele is a lot more down-to-earth.

She lives in a simple 1,805 square foot bungalow that cost her $1.4 million. The home was built in the 1920s and has just two bedrooms. With a terrace off the master bedroom, a patio, a veranda, and a salt water pool, Lea Michele’s home is simple and elegant.

Lauren Conrad

Sure, she might be a reality TV star, but that doesn’t mean that Lauren Conrad wants to constantly show off. The fashion designer and author owns a $1.35 million, two-story condo in Beverly Hills that was built in the 1970s.

Her home is nicely put together as expected, with hardwood floors, an outdoor deck, a winding staircase, and a pool on the rooftop, but it isn’t exactly breaking the bank. The tastefully simple home proves that not all celebrities are looking to live the high life. Many of them are simply normal people who do not need all the bells and whistles they could purchase with their vast wealth.
