 When we hear the word celebrity it almost automatically conjures up images of sun-soaked beaches in California, not to mention the Hollywood sign up in the hills of Los Angeles. But as you're probably aware, the always-increasing cost of carving out a life for yourself in LA can be expensive to see the least. Because of this, celebrities often own homes all over the world, and in this series we're going to investigate their nicest homes in some of the biggest cities around the globe. Today we're turning our eyes towards the sunset state, Florida. Florida is located on the southeastern coast of the United States, and it borders both Georgia and Alabama. On the east side of the state is the Atlantic Ocean, and on the southwest end, you'll discover the Gulf of Mexico. A whole bunch of us who didn't grow up in the United States might assume that Miami is the capital city of this state. After all, it definitely gets the most worldwide attention. But the capital of Florida is actually Tallahassee, the city that's almost as difficult to spell as it is fun to say. If you're ever lucky enough to find yourself living down here, you'll enjoy housing costs that are generally lower than most other parts of the country. Not to mention, world-class beaches, warm weather all year round, and even more enticingly, especially if you're a millionaire celebrity. No state income tax. In these videos, we don't reveal any addresses, and even though I've done a house tour of my own place, please do not show up at any private residences because it's not safe for anyone. How's it going guys and gals? It's Kara the Vampire Slayer here for you with a brand new episode on famous entertainment. You recently took a look at the top 10 celebrity homes in North Carolina, and you guys enjoyed that one so much you asked for more. So prepare yourselves for the top 10 celebrity homes in the state of Florida. From actors to rappers to some of the richest people in the world, everyone apparently loves living in a state that almost never sees a flake of snow all year round. Don't forget to like, subscribe, and follow me on Instagram to chat. Alright, let's get into this list. We'll start things off strong with the superstar couple whose nicknames just roll off your tongue J-Lo and A-Rod, otherwise known as Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez. When Alex was just a youngster, his family packed up their belongings where they were living in Manhattan and moved to Miami, Florida, where Alex would attend both high school and university. Jennifer Lopez is something of a homecoming for him, and J-Lo, well, she also formerly owned real estate in Florida. Together they purchased a lavish estate for $40 million on Miami's celebrity packed star island. Built in 2003, this waterfront estate spans an acre of well manicured grounds and features a Spanish style mansion and guest house that together contain 10 bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, plus 2 powder rooms in 15,000 square feet of space. Which considering the type of entourage both of these gigantic stars must bring with them everywhere they go, probably gives them just enough space. Are you ever tired of this? Do you ever feel like, okay, I've had enough? Not to this point. Number 9 on our list is another couple, and the man who just punched his ticket to his 10th Super Bowl, Tom Brady and Giselle Boonchin. After leaving New England, joined forces with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Tom and his supermodel wife Giselle moved down to Florida last year. Brady took a look at the $29 million mansion that Tom and his wife moved into during a house tour episode, but for those of you who have forgotten, that home is located in the wealthy Tampa Bay District known as the Davis Islands, and was formerly owned by Derek Jeter. More recently, however, there have been reports that Tom and Giselle moved on and into a $7.5 million home in Clearwater, Florida. If you take just one look at this place, it'll be pretty clear why they moved. With its breathtaking modern design and luxurious amenities, it will hopefully entice Tom to stay in Tampa for years to come. It includes a state-of-the-art home theater, custom breakfast bar, and full-on home automation system. Now go get your 7th ring, Tom. From a famous celebrity pairing to one of the absolute richest celebrities, Bill Gates comes in at number 8 on our list. When you think of that Florida sunshine, OzRU might not think of Bill, who spends most of his time living in Washington states, but he actually owns a bunch of land in Wellington, Florida, and he reportedly purchased it primarily for his daughter to boost her equestrian aspirations on the show-jumping circuit. This 4-acre property has a swimming pool, four bedrooms, and luxurious finishes, as well as a 20-stall barn, paddocks, and schooling area for horses. Bill spent $8.7 million in this estate, which is basically $1 million spent for each acre of land. But considering he's worth $133 billion, I think he can handle it. It's getting to be that time, so cue the music. Next up is John Cena. After becoming one of the biggest stars in WWE history, and carrying the company on his back for well over a decade, John is spending a lot more time in Florida these days, in between movie roles and the odd reappearance on the show that made him a crossover sensation. John moved to a gated community in Land of Lakes, where his enormous house has actually been seen on display pretty often in television series like Total Bellas, especially the home's remarkable swimming area. The estate has everything you'd expect from a superstar who climbed to the top of his game, including a cigar room and a guest house that's so large. It's the same size as Nikki Bella's sister's house in Aberdeen, Washington. These days, John and Nikki Bella are a thing of the past, but John recently got married to his wife Shay in the city of Tampa, just 20 miles south of his amazing home. Is there any sports athlete more popular in the state of Florida than Dwayne Wade? He is next at number 6. Not only did this inevitable hall of famer help bring the city of Miami three championship rings and five finals appearances over his career, he also became a mainstay in his adopted state. More recently, Wade is actually looking to move off his property in Florida as he spends most of his time living in LA, where his wife Gabriel Union works and we previously did a house tour on them as well. But back in 2010, right before tearing up the league as a member of the big three, Wade dropped $10.6 million on this 12,000 square foot beauty of a home. It features six bedrooms, dark wood accent, as well as an outdoor basketball court and gigantic pool. With gorgeous weather 24 hours a day, except during hurricane season, a whole bunch of athletes call Florida home. Halfway through our list, and another one is Tim Tebowl. Tim first purchased a home for $1.4 million in Jacksonville in 2014, and he wound up loving the place so damn much that he doubled down and bought a second house, not only in the same city, but on the very same golf course too. This one for just under $3 million. This former NFL quarterback is spending his retirement in this two-story 8,300 square foot property that was built in 2006 and is situated on top of 1.49 acres of land. It also features five bedrooms and five and a half baths, along with a 120-bottle wine cellar, a gym, a home theater, and a formal dining room big enough for a seating area and a grand piano. How could I make a list of celebrities living in Florida and not include the man who loves the state so much he named himself after it? Lowrida, who's obviously a Florida native, purchased his producer's former home here in 2018 for around $1.4 million. After originally buying the house for only $500k in 2012, his producer tore down what was already there and rebuilt the home that stands there today, taking the overall construction to the next level. This 7,198 square foot home now features five bedrooms, five baths, two pools, both an indoor and outdoor jacuzzi, as well as an outdoor basketball court that would make number five on our list proud. The Qantas always had the biggest mystique for me. I've always intrigued by the airline and then simply by coincidence I bought an ex-Qantas 707, which is the one you're filming me on. A whole bunch of famous folk live in Florida because of the amazing skyline, but few take advantage of it more than our number three celebrity on this list, John Travolta. In case you guys don't know, my man Johnny is a certified pilot many times over and he and his late wife Kelly Preston moved to the Jammel Air Aviation Estates, a residential air park near Ocala, Florida in the early 2000s. This neighborhood features its own private airport that's surrounded by homes and John, who regularly flies a Boeing 707, has his own taxiway that leads to the runway. His wife Kelly once told Architectural Digest that it was always John's dream to be able to pull up to his house in a plane and by living here, John was able to turn that dream into a reality. Besides that gigantic selling point and really what more do you need? This 7,000 square foot home also features five bedrooms as well as five and a half facts, not to mention Florida ceiling windows all throughout the house that provide that type of fantastic view you would expect from an aviation lover. Nearing the end of our list and the number two celebrity who lives in Florida is another famous rapper, none other than Lil Wayne. He formerly owned an epic property in Miami with features like a shark tank and skate park and currently lives in a new mansion here. Lil Wayne's Miami estate spans over 10,000 square feet with seven bedrooms and perks like movable glass walls for gorgeous open air spaces throughout. Wheezy's lavish house cost him $17 million and with a moat-like entrance, the home is designed to feel as if it's floating on water. Alright guys, I've been saving the best for last. Coming in at number one on our list of celebrities in Florida is the people's champ himself, Dwayne The Rock Johnson. Dwayne's ties to Florida go back to his university days when he played football for the University of Miami. Since making it big as one of the most popular wrestlers of all time and parlaying that into a Hollywood career that would make the most classically trained Thespians blush, The Rock has become one of the most popular celebrities in the entire world. And while he owns homes in Los Angeles and Virginia, none of them fit his personality better than his estate located in Southwest Ranch's Florida. Now you're probably wondering, what kind of house does a man the size of The Rock live in? Well, this kind. Dwayne bought this home in 2012 from former Miami Dolphin, Vernon Carey for $3.4 million. Now he owns a home in Los Angeles and Virginia and none of them fit his personality better than his estate located in Southwest Ranch's Florida. Now you're probably wondering, what kind of house does a man the size of The Rock live in? Well, this kind. The house is Mediterranean in design and features tons of dark wood throughout, which stands in contrast to the white marble that many of the floors are carved from. It also features an iron paradise for Dwayne to get all his reps in without having to leave the comfort of his own home. Alright guys, that's going to wrap up our list of the top 10 celebrities that live in Florida. What did you think? Was there any celebrity home from the state that you think should have made the cut? We might just need a part two. It was so hard to choose. Let me know in the comments down below. Thanks for watching and be sure to follow me on Instagram. Thanks, what are you doing?
