JENNIFER HUDSON – $2.795 MILLION
Jennifer Hudson returned to her roots and bought herself a 12,000-square-foot mansion in Burr Ridge. Despite a successful career in Hollywood, the singer chose to live on the south side of Chicago. The house in question boasts six beds and seven baths, sprawling on a castle-like property. Described as a “majestic state,” it was custom built in 2007, complete with a spiraling, floating staircase.
It also has two laundry rooms of its own, a home theatre, and Brazilian cherry flooring. What more can Hudson ask for? By the way, the 39-year-old stat got it for a much affordable price of $2.795 million—33% cheaper than its asking price of $4.2 million. It looks like Hudson is not only good at singing, winning American Idol Season 3 in 2004, and acting but in haggling, too. If she continuously does this, she may end up with a number of properties to her name.
