Celebrity Home Tour: Virtual

Finding a Celebrity Home Tour: Virtual

Celebrities spend a great deal of money on where they live, and as such, generally try and keep their home life secret and behind gates. Finding online virtual tours can be a challenge because most famous folks don’t want to let the public see past the front door. The following are two tours of very famous mansions:

Graceland

Perhaps one of the more famous celebrity homes is Elvis’ Graceland, where 600,000 people visit each year to tour the property. An online virtual tour is available at Elvis.com, where guests can click on an image of exterior and interior locations of Graceland, then with a click and move of the mouse, get a complete 360-degree view.

Playboy Mansion

The Playboy Mansion is also a well-known celebrity home that has been an icon of Playboy magazine and owner Hugh Hefner. A virtual tour of the property is available at Flicklife.com, recorded from the MTV special, Priciest Pads Countdown. Additionally, those interested in seeing more of the mansion need only look to E! Entertainment Television, which features the show The Girls Next Door. This inside look at Hugh Hefner and his three girlfriends also offers plenty of peeks at the mansion and the grounds of the property.

Other Celebrity Tours

The Grotto at the Playboy Mansion can be seen during a virtual tour.

One great destination for celebrity home tours is Oprah.com, which features a glimpse at a number of star homes, including:

Television Shows

One of the best resources for taking a peek at celebrity homes is by viewing MTV’s Cribs. This has become a popular show for the music network -- not only does it provide an inside look at the homes of the rich and famous, but fans also get a personal tour from the owner. It’s always a treat for viewers to find out how their favorite celebrity lives and their decorating tastes – plus provides a behind-the-scenes glimpse into their private home.

Celebrity Real Estate

One great resource for fans interested in celebrities who are selling or buying homes, is CelebrityHouses.net, a blog dedicated to celebrity real estate. The site gives all of the latest scoop on how much money famous folks are selling their properties for and who is relocating to a new neighborhood. Photos throughout the site provide glimpses of celebrity homes.

Actor John O’Hurley, who has been seen on Seinfeld, Dancing with the Stars, and Family Feud, put his palatial $6 million, Beverly Hills estate on the housing market in August 2007. The home is featured at Elegant Mediterranean.com, providing a celebrity home tour: virtual look at the beautiful features of his home.
