Diana Ross – $39.5 Million Property, Connecticut

Diana Ernestine Earle Ross, born on March 26, 1944, in Detroit, Michigan, USA, is an American singer and actress. Diana Ross put her sprawling 12,562-square-foot home on the market for a staggering price of $39.5 million. Located in Greenwich, Connecticut, it was originally built in the 1930s, carrying a French Normandy-style theme. With its gigantic size and unique features, it is no surprise that the real estate press often covers it.

However, in 2004, she protested the country’s appraisal of her mansion’s value, increasing her taxes by 3.5 percent, leaving her with a $168,000 bill. Fortunately, the issue didn’t involve the need for a lawyer. Anyhow, the house features 11 beds, six full baths, five fireplaces, a hot tub, a pool, and a tennis court. It has centralized air conditioning and separates two apartments in the garage, sitting on its five acres lot.
