Long before she brought Glinda to life in last year’s blockbuster Wicked adaptation—earning critical acclaim and proving her theatrical chops on the biggest stage—Ariana Grande was a theater-loving teenager from Boca Raton, Florida, performing in local productions and dreaming of Broadway. With Wicked: For Good hitting theaters November 21, Grande’s return to Oz has the world buzzing once again.

Her meteoric rise from Nickelodeon ingenue to global pop sensation has been well documented, but less discussed is her equally impressive evolution as a real estate mogul. For years, Grande opted to rent luxurious properties across Los Angeles, choosing flexibility over commitment as she navigated her burgeoning career. However, by 2018, with multiple Grammy nominations and chart-topping albums under her belt, the ponytailed powerhouse was ready to put down more permanent roots, essentially embarking on a property-buying spree.

From a futuristic Manhattan apartment to a historic English barn turned Montecito mansion—and even a year-long London rental while filming Wicked at Sky Studios Elstree—Grande has built a real estate empire as impressive as her octave-spanning vocals. Here’s a comprehensive look at every property the pop star has called home since making her first real estate purchase.

Chelsea Love Nest

Grande’s first real estate purchase came during her whirlwind romance with SNL comedian Pete Davidson in 2018. The then-couple moved into a stunning $16 million apartment in Manhattan’s Chelsea neighborhood. Their relationship began in May, led to an engagement by June, and saw them settling into their 4,023-square-foot apartment with characteristically youthful enthusiasm—Grande even posted about their sparse furnishings in an Instagram story, joking about having “no furniture, 1 speaker and red vines.” The residence, a spectacular Zaha Hadid-designed building abutting the High Line, featured five bedrooms, four bathrooms, and stunning Empire State Building views from its 1,361-square-foot terrace. Following Grande and Davidson’s October 2018 split, the property sold for $13.5 million.

Hollywood Hills Haven

In 2020, as her career soared with the success of her albums “Thank U, Next” and “Positions,” Grande upgraded to a sleek $13.7 million contemporary home in Los Angeles’s swanky Hollywood Hills neighborhood. This purchase coincided with the beginning of her relationship with real estate agent Dalton Gomez (perhaps he had a hand in this deal). The 10,000-square-foot residence showcased Grande’s maturing taste, with a wellness center, 300-bottle wine cellar, and floor-to-ceiling windows framing breathtaking views. During her time here, she served as a coach on “The Voice” and sold the property for $14 million in 2021, making a modest profit.

Montecito Mansion

During the height of the pandemic, Grande joined the celebrity exodus to Montecito, California, purchasing the Porter House for $6.75 million from Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi. The 5,500-square-foot property became the setting for one of her most intimate moments—her secret wedding to Dalton Gomez in 2021. This unique residence, comprising two authentic 1700s English half-timbered barns, featured two kitchens and an orangerie, which connected the two historic structures. Grande later sold this romantic retreat for $9.1 million.

Bird Street Residence

In an off-market deal in 2021, Grande acquired a modest but strategically located cottage in L.A.’s Bird Streets neighborhood for $8.9 million. While the 1946 structure spans just 1,500-square-feet, its true value lies in the impressive 0.74-acre hillside plot offering unobstructed views of the Sunset Strip. Due to its off-market status, details and photos are extremely scarce—especially considering its ultra-private setting, as it sits behind an extraordinarily long gated driveway. In January of 2024, Grande sold the home for $8.3 million to Puerto Rican rapper, Bad Bunny.

The Cameron Diaz Mansion

Most recently, in 2022, Grande acquired a Hollywood Hills hideaway previously owned by Cameron Diaz for $4.9 million in another off-market deal. Because the home was never publicly listed, photos and information are limited. But we do know that the 1,800-square-foot residence, featuring two bedrooms and two-and-a-half bathrooms, was built in 1950 and underwent significant renovations in 2018, including a new roof and modernized amenities. This is her current residence.

The Temporary ‘Wicked’ Flat

Grande relocated to London in December 2022 to film Wicked at Sky Studios Elstree in Borehamwood, a production that would span over a year. She reportedly rented one of the largest apartments in the Buxmead development on The Bishops Avenue in Hampstead, a 20-unit luxury complex set on 2.5 acres. The apartment measured approximately 10,000 square feet and featured an express lift from the garage directly into the unit.

The building includes a uniformed security team, 25-meter swimming pool, cinema, spa, and offices. Similar units in the development are currently listed for sale at nearly £11 million, with comparable apartments on The Bishops Avenue renting for over £30,000 per month.

Grande referenced her time in the neighborhood on her latest album with a track titled “Hampstead,” and told BBC Radio 1 she spent her downtime walking Hampstead Heath and discovering Sunday roast culture.
