DIANA ROSS: $16.9 MILLION GREENWICH, CONNECTICUT

Diana Ross has established herself as a respected diva through her rock-solid career as a performer and music artist. Ross has earned millions through her hard work and talent throughout the decades. For that, she deserves nothing but the best such as her recent home purchase in Connecticut.

In 2006, Diana Ross bought the 12,500 square feet Colonial-style mansion situated on the five-acre land in Belle Haven Greenwich, Connecticut, that serves as her residence ever since. The estate was reportedly worth $16.9 million in 2010. Ross has been modest about her home and claims that it not that fancy, but the fixtures and features of her house say otherwise. The mansion holds 11 bedrooms with six full baths, fireplaces in five different locations, and a high ceiling foyer. On the exterior, it has a private tennis court, a large swimming facility and a hot tub nearby, and a quarters room above the garage. The fore courtyard displays a well-manicured lawn and curb. No wonder Ross retracted this gorgeous home from listing as this is an investment worth keeping.
