November 23, 2016It’s no secrets, many celebrities call Miami home, even if it’s only part of the year.

Here’s a look at some of the celebrities that own homes in Miami.
Phil Collins
The home owned by Phil Collins is found in the La Gorce Country Club area. It was built in the 1920s and provides an incredible choice. The home sits on the Biscayne Bay and provides some of the most incredible views in the area. It also features a new dock with Jet Ski lifts and 200 feet of Bayfront.
Properties in La Gorce Country Club start at more than #10 million and can go up to as much as about $40 million.
Gloria Estefan
The home owned by Gloria Estefan is found on Start Island. She owns it with her husband Emilio Estefan. They purchased the home back in 1986 for $600K and it’s now worth about $20 million. They also own another home on Star Island worth about $40 million, which they use for guests.
As one of the most exclusive neighborhoods in all of Miami-Dade County, Star Island is home to only 34 residences. There are rarely homes available for sale here. Only five homes have sold over the past three years, in fact.

Floyd Mayweather
It’s not shocking that the richest boxer to ever step in a ring lives in Miami. He may even come out of retirement to make even more cash. He owns a beach estate in Miami, which he originally spent $1.5 million for. Today, it’s worth far more than that.

Sofia Vergara
One of the stars of Modern Family and one of the sexiest women in Hollywood, Sofia has a condo in Miami. She bought it for just $165,000, originally, but its worth more than that today.
