Hollywood celebrities are known to have lavish and outrageous homes, but some personalities have gone beyond the extremes when it comes to their properties. Here are some of them.
Nicolas Cage's Haunted House
Last year, Nicolas Cage bought what is said to be the "Most Haunted House in America," which, according to TVNZ, was intended for a horror novel. The said haunted house is the one in New Orleans which was previously owned by Madame LaLaurie, who was notoriously popular for torturing and murdering slaves. According to Cage, he bought the property "in 2007, figuring it would be a good place in which to write the great American horror novel." However, the actor reportedly "didn't get too far with the novel."
After the property's foreclosure in 2009, the property has since been renovated, and Curbed has posted pictures of the said haunted house.
Jared Leto's "Bomb Film Studio"
In the beginning of this year, Jared Leto, known for his role as Joker in the upcoming film "Suicide Squad," bought a former military nuclear bomb studio for $5 million. The property, according to Radio.com, is known as the Lookout Mountain Laboratory. The site is reportedly where "a small army of filmmakers and photographers with top security clearance made training films and documented military research on atomic bomb tests."
Based on the listing, the property features eight bedrooms, 12 bathrooms, theater space and "at least half a dozen living and dining spaces."
Nick Young's Shoe House
Back in January, Nick Young purchased Selena Gomez' former home for $3.45 million. While the luxurious property boasts high-end amenities such as a basketball court, spa, barbecue pit and more, what's bizarre about it is that part of the property was converted into an "extra fancy shoe house," according to Curbed. The publication reported that Lee Jenkins, a Sports Illustrated reporter, wrote about Nick Young's property having a detached building that houses his shoe collection. Apparently, the L.A. Lakers player has employees overseeing his over 500 pairs of sneakers, which include Vans shoes with roller-skating wheels.
