John Cleese – $8.25 Million, Montecito

What to do when you’re rich like the legendary John Cleese? Well, learning from the best, investing the money in a beachside property like the celeb himself would be an incredible idea. Cleese enjoyed the perfect view of the magnificent ocean from almost every room of his house for years before putting it on the market.

Spread in 3942 sq. ft. of land, the villa boasts multilevel decks, open porches, and garden areas along the surrounding coastline. It also has a stunning dining room, a spacious contemporary kitchen, and a thousand-bottle wine cellar. Moreover, John must have liked reading his scripts by the fireplace in his humungous living room!
