ADELE

Before Adele became the star that she is today, the crooner lived with family in a modest flat in West Norwood, located just above a discount store. Even after hitting it big, she still talks fondly of her childhood home. Some reports also suggest that she wrote her song Hometown Glory in said apartment, inspired by the bond between South Londoners. The singer has come a long way since. In fact, her portfolio even includes properties across the pond.

One of her bigger investments, however, is this gorgeous beach house located just outside of Brighton. The Deco residence is valued at around $3 million and was purchased back in 2012, which is the same year her son Angelo was born. The lux property comes with an open-plan layout, four bedrooms, an outdoor deck, and its own private area of the beach.
