KATY PERRY – $8.85 MILLION, L.A.

Singer, songwriter and television singing contest judge, Katy Perry, used to own this lavish compound in the Hollywood Hills which she sold off for $8.85 million. Interestingly enough, Perry bought the place from oil heiress Aileen Getty in 2013 for a whopping $8.2 million, which means that Perry happily made a few hundred thousand dollars from its recent sale. The house is located on two acres of land, surrounded by fruit trees and gardens, bordering Runyon Canyon Park.

The Mediterranean-style compound features four bedrooms, four bathrooms, another two-story structure that serves as the guest house, and a long, impressive driveway. It also apparently has a security guardhouse and is fitted with a top-notch home security system. Perry asked for a property in Hollywood Hills for $9.45 million. Four years ago, she bought it and the modern-style house next door for $11.2 million. Perry has been busy in the real estate market lately. In addition to purchasing a 5,500-square-foot home in Beverly Hills, she won an important court decision earlier this year.
