For many high net worth celebs, investing in real estate remains a practical way to make their money work for them. Investing may simply mean they own several income properties, to be rented out when they are not occupying by family members or the stars themselves. Others, however, take things a step further by flipping homes, developing homes or amassing sizable commercial investments.

Ellen DeGeneres flips dozens of pricey properties, many of them at multimillion-dollar profits. Diane Keaton does the same, albeit at a slower pace and not at such nosebleed prices. And many other famous faces have followed their lead, treating their day jobs in front of the camera as a marketing tool to keep them in the spotlight and, in turn, ignite their investment careers.

Let’s have a look at some celebs who have turned their fame-driven riches into impressive, money-making property portfolios.
