From Kim Kardashian, Michael Jordan, To Taylor Swift; An Inside Scoop On 2015 Celebrity Housing

Since it's nearly impossible that we ever set foot in Katy Perry's or Brad Pitt's house, let's just get into the next best thing which is to know the deep, inside scoop on top celebrity housing! Judy Dutton of Realtor has the list of celebrities who won (as well as those who foundered) in the real estate market this year.

Winner: Taylor Swift

At 25 years old, Taylor Swift is one of today's most popular pop stars, and she is award-winning for her property portfolio too! Her ever-expanding portfolio includes properties in her hometown of Nashville, TN; Beverly Hills, CA; Manhattan, NY and many others which reportedly totals to $70 million.

Loser: 50 cent

Just 2 months after filing for bankruptcy, rapper 50 cent nags a new digs in Africa. However, he is having a hard time finding a buyer for his 21-bedroom, 25-bathroom behemoth in Farmington, CT that he has listed for $18.5 million in 2007 and is down to $8.5 million this year and still no one bit.

Winner: Kim Kardashian

Kim and Kanye's starter home in Beverly Hills adds to the reality star's mini real estate empire. The 9,000-square-foot home has been renovated and now boasts 4 gold-plated toilets. The couple bought the property for $10.75 million and is listing it on the market for $20 million. It's a handsome markup and if they find a taker, they easily double their money.

Loser: Ben Affleck & Jennifer Garner

'Bennifer' made the heartbreaking announcement about their divorce in August which left fans in shock. But what's even more shocking is that they continue to live together in their Pacific Palicades, CA estate, with Ben camping in a man cave just a couple of meters away from the main house. They did put the property on the market, but at a whopping $45 million, the kids are likely to be enjoying dad's company for a much longer time.

Winner: David & Victoria Beckham

The power couple has certainly built a strong real estate portfolio. They have a $49 million, 9,000-square-foot flat in London and Beverly Hills mansion worth $20 million. And just recently, the two are reported to have their eyes set on an $8 million property dubbed as the "Beckingham Palace."
