Celeb houses are fascinating and give a small glimpse into a life that many people dream of. Looking at the exterior of the houses, they exude a certain stature and respect. However, some celebs can go to absurd extremes and have their house, not as one to dream of owning, but instead as what not to do if you win the lotto. Here are some of the ugliest celebrity homes around. They are not in any order, and not everyone will agree that every house is ugly, but something about each of these celeb houses gave it the honor of making the list. Check out the ugliest celebrity homes of all time.

John Travolta’s House — Or Should We Say Airport

This house is in the Jumbolair Aviation Estates in Ocala, Florida. John Travolta is an actor probably most famous for his roles in Grease, Pulp Fiction, and Saturday Night Fever. The weirdest thing about this house is that it has two runways that lead directly to his front door! This house is a mid-century modern-style house consisting of over 7,000 square feet on nine acres.

In it, you will find five bedrooms, five and a half bathrooms, a swimming pool with an indoor cabana, and a 16-car garage because two airplanes at your door are not enough transportation. It also has two kitchens, one primary and the other for lighter snacks. From the kitchen, you can access one of the three dining rooms. The view is also centered around Travolta’s love of flying. Many of the rooms in the house have a view of both aircraft. The planes are parked only 100ft from the house.

Michael Jackson’s Neverland Ranch is More Like a Theme Park

The Neverland Ranch is in Los Olivos, California. Michael Jackson is best known for his music career as a solo artist — and for performing with his siblings in The Jackson 5. He started his career in music at the age of six. The Neverland Ranch was named after J.M. Barrie’s Peter Pan story about a boy that never grew up.

The house is a 12,000-square-foot home with six bedrooms, staff quarters, two guest houses, and a total of 22 structures on the property. The ranch sits on 2,700 acres and includes a small zoo, an impressive amusement park, a train station, a dance studio, and a movie theater that seats 50! Riddled with accusations of molestation, the ranch had a stigma attached to it, and Jackson never lived there after. Since Michael Jackson’s passing, the ranch has reverted to its original name of Sycamore Valley Ranch. How very circus-like for a place called home.

Katy Perry Owns a Convent

Katy Perry is best known for her vocal talent, with songs like Roar and Firework over six albums. This superstar bought a Los Feliz convent for $14.5 million.

Encompassed in the home are 15 bedrooms and 15 bathrooms, a great room, and a lower lounge with French doors and a spiral staircase.

The home also has a pool that overlooks the city, a tower, a prayer house, and parking for 50 cars. Katy Perry was in a legal fight with restaurateur Dana Hollister over the property. Why? Because Perry had made the real estate deal for the home with the archdiocese. Hollister made a deal with Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, who asserted that they had more rights to sell the property than the archdiocese did. Perry won the lawsuit, and Hollister was to pay $6.5 million in damages. It will always be a convent, however.

The story of Madame LaLaurie is that she was cruel and abhorrent to the people the enslaved. In April of 1834, a fire broke out in the mansion, and firefighters discovered seven mutilated enslaved people after the fire. After The New Orleans Bee, the French-language newspaper broke the story, over 4,000 people gathered at the Cabildo, the city hall, the mansion was pillaged, and the remaining house was destroyed. The LaLauries escaped to France, but it is rumored that upon Madame LaLaurie’s death, she was brought back to New Orleans and buried in the St. Louis Cemetery.

The total living space is 23 000 square feet, including eight bedrooms and 15 bathrooms. A 54-foot curved glass door opens out onto an infinity pool with fountains. There is a separate vodka and tequila bar in the downstairs lounge area.

There is also an elevator display for his luxury car collection, high-end recliners, and H.D. screens that display the view from upstairs, and there is a candy wall with M&M statues looking over it at the bottom of the stairs. A private screening room has tiered seating and a stocked wine cellar. The kitchen is very white and dark, with nothing in between. The master closets are horrid, and the other walk-in closet is a lighter wood finish but is just as awful.

Mukesh Ambani’s Antilia

Mukesh Ambani is the wealthiest man in India and the sixth richest man globally. Antilia is a 27-story, $2 Billion house for six people in downtown South Mumbai. The skyscraper sits on 48,000 square feet of land, is 550 ft tall, and has over 400,000 square feet of living space. All six lower floors are dedicated to parking and can hold 168 cars. Then the lobby is above the parking and has nine high-speed elevators.

The skyscraper has a helipad on its roof with its own air traffic control facility. There are multiple swimming pools, a theater, a spa, a yoga studio, and four floors of hanging gardens for its eco-friendly status. The most disturbing part of this house is that it is in the most poverty-laden area of India, where more than half of its residents live on $2 per day. Antilia looms over an overcrowded slum.
