The actor and climate change activist has owned many extravagant properties over the years, including an island in Belize

Leonardo DiCaprio recently made headlines when he dropped $7.1 million on a Spanish Colonial in Loz Feliz previously owned by Jesse Tyler Ferguson (not to mention Robert Pattinson and Gwen Stefani before that). The notoriously private Oscar winner has long been a lover of beautiful properties: Since he shot to fame with 1993’s What’s Eating Gilbert Grape?, he’s bought and sold about a dozen homes, located everywhere from Palm Springs to Malibu to New York City to a private island in Belize.

But unlike some celebrity home flippers (for example, Ellen DeGeneres or Adam Levine), DiCaprio has retained most of his purchases, turning his less frequented homes into rental properties. Below, we’ve rounded up all of the lavish pads, each with its own distinct aesthetic, that make up DiCaprio’s extensive real estate portfolio.

1994

DiCaprio’s first major home purchase was technically made up of two adjacent Hollywood Hills properties, one of which he bought from Madonna for $2 million sometime in the ’90s, and the other of which he picked up in 1994. In all, he paid $4 million for the entire compound. According to realtor.com, DiCaprio has significantly renovated the property since he purchased it nearly 30 years ago, though these days, he mainly uses it for entertaining purposes. (He’s also rented the home out to famous friends, like Tobey Maguire, in the past.) Just last fall, Vanity Fair reported that the Oscar winner converted the property’s basketball court into a viewing party venue for election night.

1998

Following the 1997 box office success of Titanic, DiCaprio shelled out $1.775 million for an oceanfront Malibu home just off the Pacific Coast Highway. The 1950s-era bungalow features three bedrooms and two bathrooms, and measures 1,765 square feet. Indoors, noteworthy details include herringbone backsplash and brass finishes in the kitchen; blue patterned wallpaper along the stairwell; and a chic marble fireplace in the living room. Outdoors, a wooden deck with a private hot tub steps down directly to the beach. DiCaprio tried to list the Carbon Beach property for $10.95 million in 2016, but ultimately decided to put it on the rental market instead, asking $25,000 a month for it in 2017. Fun fact: An interior designer who worked with the actor in the ’90s told the Behind the Velvet Rope podcast that the house once featured Titanic-themed towels, posters, and memorabilia.
