Known for his magnetic role in a variety of franchise films, such as Mission Impossible, Tom Cruise has been gracing the movie screen with his natural charm and charisma since 1981. In total, the Top Gun actor has starred in over 40 movies across the span of his 40-year career and has worked alongside some of Hollywood's most prestigious A-list actors both old and young, such as Val Kilmer, Kelly McGillis, Joe Pantoliano, Cameron Diaz, Penelope Cruz, Jason Lee, comedian Jamie Foxx, Cuba Gooding Jr., Ving Rhames, and Miles Teller. But his acting career hasn't been just to make his portfolio look good. He's stacked up a $600 million net worth over the course of his career, and has made some wise real estate investments in the process. Let's have a look into Tom Cruise's million-dollar real estate portfolio.
West Sussex English Estate, UK - $4.2 Million
When most people think of celebrity real estate, they're automatically drawn to Drake's YOLO Estate in Hidden Hills, California or the community of Tarzana where many top celebrities have bought a spread of property. But according to Love Property, Cruise set his sights on a $4.2 million behemoth mansion in 2006 located in Dorman's Park in East Grinstead. The enormous structure spans 11,000 feet and sits on 14-acres of land, boasting eight bedrooms and five bathrooms. But the modern architectural design and surrounding manicured gardens aren't the only reasons the award-winning actor chose West Sussex as his destination.
Among the things the his well known for, Tom Cruise has been open about his devotion to the Church of Scientology. Ironically, Scientology's headquarters in Saint Hill Manor located at East Grinstead. So, besides his possible love for the UK, this could be strong evidence for why Cruise chose this location. There are many other A-list celebrities who identify as Scientologists, including actress Catherine Bell, John Travolta, musician Isaac Hayes, and Jason Dohring.
Hollywood Hills, California - $11.7 Million
Now, Cruise's next home is more along the lines of where a celebrity's mansion would be - Hollywood Hills. The popularity of this hotspot has attracted the likes of Tomb Raider's Angelina Jolie, Jessica Simpson, rapper French Montana, and actress/singer Miley Cyrus. At the height of his career, he purchased the Italian-inspired estate in 2005 for roughly $11.7 million. It was originally built in 2004, but then remodeled in 2006, probably by Cruise himself. It comes equipped with seven bedrooms, nine bathrooms, and a lagoon-style pool surrounded by three-acres of garden, accentuating the privacy, peace, and charm that is exudes. After Cruise put the mansion on the market for $13 million in 2015, it was eventually bagged by reality TV star Eva Longoria for $11.4 million.
Beverly Hills Manor - $32.5 Million
Still in his prime in 2007, the War of the World's actor bought the impressive Beverly Hills Manor in 2007 in an off-market deal for $32.5 million. The lavish property was bought together with his then newly wed wife, actress Katie Holmes. The mansion was constructed in 1937 and extends across a sprawling 10,286 square feet of living space, inclusive of seven bedrooms, nine bathrooms, and plenty of privacy for the couple. Shortly after getting married, they were expecting their first daughter, Suri, so it made sense that the other amenities included a large swimming pool, a children's playground, tennis court, and guesthouse. The pair would divorce six years later and, according to Rethinking The Future, the Hollywood actor went on to sell the mansion for $40 million, close to $8 million more than the original buying price.
Getaway Colorado Ranch - $39.5 Million
Mr. Mission Impossible isn't the only celebrity who enjoys a peaceful, secluded environment away from the limelight of places like Beverly Hills and Calabasas in California. For example, Josh Brolin's estate in Atlanta's Chastain Park was a step back from the normal California landscape for the Guardians of The Galaxy actor. Similarly, when Cruise purchased the 320-acre Colorado plot in the early 1990s, he set out to create his very own rural Mission Impossible hideaway ranch. Surrounded by wrap-around mountains, the 10,000 square foot home was personally influenced by Tom Cruise, featuring floor-to-ceiling fireplaces, vaulted ceilings, a large dining room area, and picturesque views from the balcony and patios on property.
The estate is extremely private, but there's also lots to do as it's surrounded by natural forest land and ski-slopes, making it perfect for hikes and skiing. It was also in this luxury mansion where entrepreneur Oprah Winfrey conducted the famous Tom Cruise interview of 2008. Other amenities also include a fitness center, a snowmelt system, a wet bar, and underfloor heating in addition to a separate three-bedroom guesthouse apart from the main residence. For all the blood, sweat, and tears he put into this estate, he put it on the market for $39.5 million in 2021.
Cruise's Clearwater Penthouse - $9.6 Million
Fans of his movies know how much Tom Cruise enjoys taking his shirt off, and what better place to do so than in Florida? That's why his next purchase was a two-storey penthouse apartment in Clearwater, Florida which he made in 2017 for $9.7 million. The apartment building the penthouse sits in is called The SkyView and, by no coincidence, it was built by one of the world's richest scientologists, Moises Agami. It's also no coincidence that Clearwater is the home of Scientology, and the 10-storey apartment building is located just a few blocks away from the church's international headquarters. While Cruise may not be one of the world's richest celebrity preachers, he is undoubtedly a man devoted to his religion!
Apart from the panoramic views across the city that Cruise is fortunate to have as an occupant of the building's top two floors, he also has access to a spectacular private outdoor swimming pool, a pool garden, movie theater, car elevator, rooftop deck, hot tub, and gym. Despite his previously failed marriages, no one can argue that he isn't living his best life as a bachelor, even at 60 years old.
