If you’re a normal human, your first home is an apartment…with questionable amenities…that you share with other young, struggling humans. If you’re a celebrity…well, that’s often not the case.
Taylor Swift’s first home, bought in 2009 in Nashville when the star was just 19 years old, cost her a whopping $1.99 million. Alia Bhatt and her sister Shaheen recently moved out into their own home in Mumbai, where Alia has a walk-in closet and ample space for her gorgeous shoe collection.
Here are some stunnning luxurious residences that celebrities from Parineeti Chopra to Kendall Jenner have called their “starter homes.”
