The pop singer and icon has a long history of scooping up homes and collaborating with designers to put her creative stamp on the place.

According to Architectural Digest, she has bought homes in Aspen, New York City, Hawaii, and Los Angeles. Her friend and frequent interior designer Ron Wilson said, “She stretches me to the limit, and then some. I’ve tried every trick in the book, used every drapery treatment, every floor material. She’s had everything—and she still insists I do something new.”

She reportedly bought the mansion on La Gorce in 1993 for $1.5 million. The mansion reflected her love for Moorish design with a tiled roof, Mediterranean-style arched windows and wrought-iron accents. She sold it three years later for $4.35 million according to property records, and it has changed hands a few times since. TopTenRealEstateDeals.com reports that she sold it to Calvin Klein cofounder Barry K. Schwartz.

Cher, the singer with #1 hit songs and award-winning movie performances.

Cher is a 77-year-old pop icon. Her career began in in the 1960s after partnering with Sonny Bono for hit songs like 'Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down).' She continued on a solo career after they split with several resurgences over the years.

She broke into acting and won the Academy Award for best actress in the 1987 romantic comedy "Moonstruck." That acting career has carried her into the 21st century with appearances in "Burlesque" and "Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again."

Recently, she has been lauded for her progressive stance and outspoken presence on X, formerly Twitter.

An old interview with her went viral in recent years, solidifying her place as a feminist figure:

"I love men. I think men are the coolest, but you don't really need them to live,” she said. "My mom said to me, 'You know, sweetheart, you should settle down and marry a rich man.’ I said, 'Mom, I am a rich man.'"
