CELINE DION – $38.5 MILLION, FLORIDA

International singing sensation Celine Dion gained widespread recognition after the release of her album Unison in 1990. She reportedly sold this Bahamian-inspired Florida estate for $38.5 million. The memorabilia that the award-winning singer left in the house probably speaks more for the value than the actual home itself.

The price that Dion and her buyer settled on was way below her initial asking price of $72.5 million, but way above the $7.032 million Dion and her husband shelled out to acquire it back in 2008. The investment property reportedly has its private beach, as well as three geothermal-heated swimming pools. Having such luxurious features would cost newer homes a huge amount of money just to maintain and keep in pristine condition. The home is so huge that it is no wonder that the taxes for the property alone are said to exceed $350,000 per year.
