It’s fair to say Leonardo DiCaprio has come a long way from his humble childhood home in Los Angeles, California. With an impressive career that started when he was just five years old, the movie mega-star has become one of the most successful actors in the world while also being named a United Nations Messenger of Peace helping to promote climate action. Though clearly a busy man, it’s no wonder he has built up an impressive property portfolio over the years.

With an estimated net worth of $300 million (£250m), Leonardo DiCaprio has plenty of spare change for snapping up real estate. The Once Upon A Time…In Hollywood star currently resides in the Bird Streets neighbourhood of Los Angeles, but owns a plethora of properties across California, from a stunning Spanish Colonial-style property in Los Feliz to a sleek beach house in Malibu. Yet life wasn’t always so luxurious for Leo…

For more than 20 years, Leonardo DiCaprio owned this chic beach house in Malibu, California. According to Realtor, the actor bought the waterfront property in 1998 for $1.8 million (£1.5m). The star parted ways with the home in November 2021 for $10.3 million (£8.6m) making a rather tasty profit. Yet, it’s not the first time the star has listed it. In 2016 he placed it on the market for a staggering $10.9 million (£9.1m).

The stunning beach house was built in 1950 and was meticulously renovated and maintained by Leo over the years. Sitting right on the sand of sought-after Carbon Beach, the chic mid-century residence benefits from unobstructed ocean views from almost every window.

Modern and light-filled, the house blends historic elements with contemporary design, resulting in fresh and bright living spaces that are sure to make any occupant feel at ease. The modern celebrity home spans just 1,765 square feet but is made to feel extra spacious thanks to its easy indoor-outdoor flow.

The home can be accessed via a secluded courtyard, which leads into a spacious hallway. From there, you’ll find three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a stunning living room with a beamed ceiling, a galley kitchen and a dining zone. The master suite is a true beauty and comes equipped with its own ocean view balcony.

Yet, of course, it’s all about the home’s location and views. Step outside and you’ll find yourself on the home’s second deck, which overlooks the waves. The waterside balcony comes equipped with a dining area, sunbathing zone, hot tub and staircase that leads down to the sand. We can see why Leo snapped this pad up, but we can’t quite understand why he’d want to say goodbye. Yet, a year later, in 1999, Leo continued to add to his portfolio by buying a four-bed and four-and-a-half-bath pad in Silver Lake for $769,000 (£640k) which he offloaded in 2018 for just shy of $1.6 million (£1.3m).
