It\u2019s been over 30 years since Madonna released her hit \u201cMaterial Girl,\u201d and the singer now has the real estate portfolio to prove her claims. Over the past few decades, the Queen of Pop has accumulated an impressive collection of homes located in London, Beverly Hills, New York City, Lisbon, and more. The singer makes each city she lives in a new hub for her many projects. For instance, the historic 18th-century Moorish mansion in Portugal that she purchased in 2017 became the location for\u00a0her daily dispatches during the pandemic. Most recently, she bought a Hidden Hills estate from The Weeknd\u2014likely a sign of her return to Hollywood in time to release new music in 2022. Below, we\u2019ve rounded up some of the singer\u2019s other famous dwellings.<\/p>\n

Madonna\u2019s first marriage to actor Sean Penn also marked the start of her real estate portfolio, when the couple picked up a unit in the grand Harperley Hall just off Central Park in New York City. After their divorce in 1989, the singer held onto the apartment and purchased two more units on the fifth and sixth floor, combining them into a massive six-bedroom duplex. Her brother, Christopher G. Ciccone, designed the space in collaboration with architect Stephen Wang, in what became sanctuary for the singer for many years. \u201cWho could I have more in common with than someone I grew up with?\u201d she said in\u00a0a 1991\u00a0Architectural Digest<\/em>\u00a0interview. \u201cWe like the same things, from music to what we eat.\u201d She ultimately listed the duplex for $23.5 million in November 2012 and\u00a0sold it for an undisclosed amount\u00a0several months later.<\/p>\n

Another one of Madonna\u2019s earlier homes was\u00a0a $4.9 million nine-bedroom Mediterranean Revival estate\u00a0on Miami\u2019s exclusive Brickell Avenue, with 100 feet of water frontage boasting views of Biscayne Bay and the Miami skyline. Images from a listing reveal long, stone-covered walkways, swaying palm trees, and a private dock. The singer sold the property for $7.5 million in 2000.<\/p>\n

When Madonna first began dating Guy Ritchie in the late \u201990s, the pair lived together in a two-bedroom, two-bathroom flat in South Kensington, London, that the director reportedly had already owned. After they married in late 2000, they called it home for a few more years before selling it in 2003. The duplex was a traditional mews house, with a carriage house below and living quarters on the second floor.<\/p>\n

From South Kensington, Madonna and Ritchie moved onto much larger fare, snapping up the historic Ashcombe House in Wiltshire, England, for around \u00a39 million, or around $12.23 million. Originally built in the 1700s, the estate includes a main brick mansion, a dairy house, stables, and an 18th-century orangery. When it was owned by photographer and designer Cecil Beaton in the early 1900s, it was a gathering spot for some of the most famous artists and actors of the times, including Salvador Dal\u00ed, Whistler, and Lady Diana Cooper. Madonna\u00a0once told\u00a0Vogue<\/em><\/a> that she and Ritchie \u201cjust fell in love with [the property]. In the summertime it\u2019s the most beautiful place in the world.\u201d Ritchie was ultimately awarded the house in the couple\u2019s high-profile 2008 divorce, and he still lives there to this day.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
