George Clooney’s massive mansion is now worth a whopping $107 million
George Clooney and his wife Amal Clooney shared a good part of their lives in their Italian abode in Europe’s most breathtaking locale, Lake Como. In 2002, the actor purchased Villa Oleandra for nearly $14 million. Ever since his purchase, the picturesque location and his popularity status have made it a constant target for paparazzi and fans.
Eventually, Clooney contemplated selling the villa in 2010, when the attention from the public and paparazzi became unbearable. After almost two decades of being in Clooney’s possession, Closer Weekly revealed that the value of the lavish property is roughly around $107 million (100 million euros).
Even after his marriage to lawyer Amal Clooney in 2014, their wedding excitement grew the attraction to their mansion, and eventually, the actor bought the adjacent Villa Margherita to enjoy greater seclusion for himself and his wife.
The Batman actor also reportedly implemented security measures to manage the situation and, along with the government, issued a US$600 fine for trespassing on the property. In 2015, shortly after their marriage, the rumor spread that the couple was planning to sell the villa to get rid of the extreme media frenzy.
