Dr. Phil – Beverly Hills, $5.75 Million

As a therapist would put it, the décor and design choices of the Beverly Hills mansion sold in January 2020 for a cool $5.75 million are pretty bizarre. And the home belongs to none other than Dr. Phil McGraw, a therapist himself!

The most controversial feature of Dr. Phil’s 6,170-square-foot luxurious home is a wall decorated with real guns and curse words. The estate has five bedrooms and six bathrooms, with its notable features being a heated pool, an outdoor kitchen, and a flagstone patio. McGraw’s successful TV show Dr. Phil has been on air since September 2002, and its 19th season is airing on CBS.

Jay Leno – Rhode Island, $13.5 Million

Comedian and TV talk show host Jay Leno’s pockets are loaded, but he is usually frugal when buying anything. While it’s no secret the former host of The Tonight Show has a love affair with old, classic cars, we wouldn’t normally expect him to splurge millions on a nine-acre mansion, would we?

Well, that’s precisely what Leno did in 2017, purchasing an enormous oceanfront palatial estate in Newport, Rhode Island, with 12 bedrooms, a tennis court, and a beach for $13.5 million. In the fall of 2021, Leno is set to preside over the revival of the 1970’s game show You Bet Your Life.
