When average folks achieve celebrity status, fame and recognition become a given. With stardom, though, comes money. After that, can you guess what comes next? Mansions, cars, and all sorts of expensive buys, of course! It’s the case today, and decades ago, during the Golden Age of Hollywood, it was no different.

Many of you might want to catch a glimpse of the places where Hollywood’s royalty ended up after their hectic workdays. Well, we have here what must be the best collection of vintage celebrity houses from the days of the yesteryear. Surely, your interest is now piqued, so let’s get going!

Marilyn Monroe’s Home In Beverly Hills

Marilyn Monroe is among the few celebrities from the Golden Age of Hollywood, who is recognized by today’s generation. If you ask us, we think it’s mainly because of her breathtaking appearance. The world-famous actress and model could’ve reached much greater heights if not for her short-lived life.

During the year that she was with her second husband, Monroe found comfort in a Beverly Hills home—not too big, not too small. The house located in Palm Drive is also referred to as the couple’s “honeymoon home.” According to The Hollywood Reporter, Monroe also often stayed at The Beverly Hills Hotel, particularly during renovations and breaks when switching husbands.

Spencer Tracy’s Estate In Encino

The two-time Oscar winner Spencer Tracy was in the hearts of many female fans in the golden days. He was doing extremely well as an actor, but we can only wish to say the same about his personal life. Struggling with alcohol addiction and feeling guilty for his firstborn’s deafness, Tracy battled with his inner demons.

The Fury star from Milwaukee was known for his impeccable taste in properties and real estate. He had once been a resident of the house of Mickey Rooney (previously discussed), and he also owned the Spencer Tracy Estate in Encino, as shown above.

Bing Crosby’s Home In Toluca Lake

Having worked with Bob Hope for a very long time, Bing Crosby went on to build a house and settle down close to his friend. Although he moved to this fancy home in 1936, the excitement was short-lived. A huge housefire in 1943 forced Crosby to sell the property.

While he moved on to a new neighborhood, television personality Andy Griffith bore ownership to the house in the ’70s. Both Mickey Dolenz and Jerry Van Dyke (Dick Van Dyke’s brother) are also said to have resided in the 7,711 square-foot mansion. As it was worth around $4 million back in 2011, we assume the price has only skyrocketed since then.
