12 Celebrity Homes For Sale
| Michael Jackson Listing price:
$28,995,000 Although the listing price has dropped more than $9 million from 2008, it is also infamously the home where Michael Jackson passed away last year, which could potentially either lure or scare away buyers. Although Jackson did not own the home, he was renting it for a reported $100,000 per month while he rehearshed his "This is It" tour. This French Chateau is located in the Holmby Hills area of Los Angeles and includes a "glamorous" theater room, wine cellar, elevator, gym, guest house, a pool and expansive gardens on the 1.26 acre property. The home also features 12 fireplaces and an indoor spa. In order to even view the home, interested buyers must go through an extensive "pre-buying" check, to avoid any paparazzi. Ricky Martin Listing price: $18,900,000 Singer Ricky Martin's home is listed for just under $19 million in Golden Beach, Florida. The two-story Mediterranean-style estate features a 108-foot stretch of private beach and 29,088 sqft of total land. Dr. Phil McGraw Listing price: $16,500,000 Dr. Phil's Hollywood home is currently on the market for a cool $16.5 million.

Zillow's estimated monthly mortgage payment on this home comes to $76,623. Mel Gibson Listing price: $12,750,000 On nearly 2.6 acres in Malibu, California, one of Mel Gibson's several highly-priced homes is on the market.

When his home was put on the market, it signaled to many in the sports world that he would likely be on the move to a NBA different team. Nick Lachey Listing price: $6,800,000 The singer and TV personality purchased this house, which was formerly owned by fashion model Heidi Klum, for $5 million shortly after his highly publicized break up with Jessica Simpson.

Sitting on approximately 1/3 of an acre, the home measures approximately 7,013 square feet. Jerry Garcia Listing price: $3,995,000 For ultimate "Deadheads" in the market for a high end home - look no further than this property 35 miles north of San Francisco. Once home to the Greatful Dead's Jerry Garcia, it was the home he owned at the time of his death in 1995. The home sits on 11 acres with views overlooking Mount Tamalpas, the Pacific Ocean and the skyline of Berkeley, California.
