20. Jennifer Lopez – $28 million
Despite being on the market for $40 million, Jennifer Lopez purchased this 14,000 sq. ft. Bel Air mansion for a mere $28 million in 2016.

The outside is just as spectacular, thanks to 2 guesthouses, a terrace with infinity pool, a 100-seat amphitheater, a vineyard and organic vegetable garden, a man-made swimming pond with beach, a pagoda with a fire pit, and a mini golf course.
