Shockingly Simple Homes of Successful People

Jennifer Lawrence

Okay, this one probably won’t shock you too much because Jennifer Lawrence is pretty much the most relatable Hollywood actress ever. It’s so easy to relate to someone who unabashedly announces how much they love food and who trips on the stairs while on her way up to accept an award. Jennifer Lawrence is just like one of us…except with way, way more money.

The Oscar winner lived in a three bedroom home, even after making it big in Hollywood and, honestly, we love her even more for it. She lived in the 1,400 square foot home before eventually upsizing to a five bedroom home.

Sarah Jessica Parker

True to her character on Sex and the City, Sarah Jessica Parker lived the NYC lifestyle for the longest time, keeping it modest in a Greenwich Village brownstone that cost just a small fraction of her net worth. She and her husband Matthew Broderick are worth at least $135 million but only paid $12 million for the brownstone.

They put the home on the market in 2012, presumably because with three growing children the couple needed a little bit more space. The selling price reflects just how hard it is to find a place to live in NYC; they listed the brownstone for $20 million, nearly double what they originally paid for it.
