Hollywood is undoubtedly a hotspot for movie making and celebrity gatherings, but have you ever wondered how many celebrities actually live in Hollywood? Well, don’t wonder anymore! We’ve collected 9 of the most famous celebrities who call Hollywood home.

Johnny Depp is undoubtedly one of the most well-known and famous actors ever. He is extremely well known for starring in movies like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Edward Scissorhands, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Sweeny Todd. But although many can name movies he’s starred in, not nearly enough people know what his real estate scene looks like.
Johnny Depp owns all kinds of interesting real estate. He currently owns a horse farm in Kentucky, his own private island in the Bahamas, an entire village in France, and several penthouses all around Los Angeles. There are rumours that he has homes in other states too, but it’s difficult to confirm them. He spends most of his time however in his condo, in the heart of Hollywood. In case you want to start living like a wealthy celebrity, rumor has it that his final home is up for sale. That should be good news to anyone looking to spend over $8,000 a month on a luxury home!

Justin Bieber’s rise to fame started in 2009 when he was just 13, singing his heart out on good ol’ Youtube. He caught the eye of a producer and began to sell out stadiums across the globe and gain thousands and thousands of followers on social media. His image was one of the most well-known. Although he has had some troubles and legal issues, he manages to still be a strong celebrity face that many people respect and look up to for his talent.
