Inside George and Amal Clooney's global real estate empire

George and Amal Clooney, a powerhouse couple with a multitude of talents, boast an impressive real estate portfolio spanning the globe. George, an Oscar-winning actor, director, screenwriter, and producer, and Amal, a renowned lawyer and activist, together make a stylish pair, especially with their twins, Ella and Alexander, born in June 2017. Due to their dynamic careers and commitments, they are often on the move, requiring luxurious and comfortable homes wherever they go. From opulent villas on Lake Como to chic condos in Manhattan, the Clooneys' residences are nothing short of Hollywood royalty. Here’s an in-depth look at six of their most famous properties, each reflecting their evolving lifestyle and status.


George and Amal Clooney

1995: The Studio City Villa

George Clooney first gained fame in the early '90s with his role as Dr. Doug Ross on the hit medical drama ER. By 1995, his rising popularity necessitated a more secure home. "I was in the second season of ER, living in a little house, and I thought, maybe it’s time to get a bigger place off the street," Clooney shared in a 2012 CBS interview. He purchased a $2.2 million villa in Studio City, previously owned by rock legend Stevie Nicks. The main house, originally spanning 7,354 square feet with six bedrooms, has seen significant expansion and renovation over the years.


Scenes from George’s long-time residence, as seen on Person to Person, reveal hardwood floors, coffered ceilings, stone fireplaces, and a grand dining room with an extensive wine collection. Since welcoming their twins in 2017, the home has transformed from an entertainment hub to a more family-oriented space, as Amal mentioned in a 2018 Vogue interview. The villa features amenities like a home theater with a popcorn machine, a bar with vintage Hollywood photos, and an outdoor pool and bar area.

2002: Villa Oleandra on Lake Como

Long before marrying Amal, George Clooney laid roots in Italy. In 2002, he invested in the stunning Villa Oleandra, an 18th-century home on Lake Como, purchased for $7 million from the Heinz family. This expansive property includes 25 rooms, tennis courts, an outdoor pool, a gym, and a garage for George’s collection of vintage motorcycles. Numerous A-list celebrities, including Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, Jennifer Aniston, and Matt Damon, have enjoyed the villa over the years.


Additionally, George owns the neighboring Villa Margherita, rumored to have been acquired around the same time. In 2019, the couple partnered with fundraising platform Omaze, offering a lucky winner and a guest the chance to have lunch with them at their lakeside home, a property they continue to cherish.


2009: The Los Cabos Retreat

In 2009, George Clooney added a custom-designed residence in Los Cabos, Mexico, to his real estate portfolio. Designed by prominent Mexican architect Ricardo Legorreta, the home was described as “elegant and almost like an art piece,” but also comfortable and inviting, according to Legorreta’s son Victor in Architectural Digest. The property featured spacious entertaining areas, including an open kitchen and a central bar.


George bought this property with his close friends Rande Gerber and Cindy Crawford, whose adjacent home was loosely connected to his. The two homes, known collectively as Casamigos, were sold to a Mexican billionaire in 2016, as the friends sought an even more impressive compound.

2014: The English Estate on Sonning Eye

2014 marked a significant year for the Clooneys. They got engaged, married, and spent their honeymoon in their newly purchased property on the English island of Sonning Eye on the Thames. Reportedly costing about $13 million, the estate features towering ceilings, Georgian moldings, a 16-seat screening room, and a glass-covered garden room with citrus trees. Amal told Vogue that the pool house doubles as a “party zone” and a workspace for both George and Amal, who have offices upstairs.


2016: The Manhattan Condo

In late 2016, George and Amal Clooney expanded their real estate portfolio with a luxury condo in Manhattan, paying $14.7 million for a full-floor unit in a high-rise designed by Foster & Partners. The condo offers floor-to-ceiling windows, high ceilings, and polished concrete floors. Building amenities include a lap pool, library, gym, culinary market, and a ground-floor restaurant by Michelin-starred chef Joël Robuchon. This location is particularly convenient for Amal, given its proximity to the United Nations and Columbia Law School, where she taught.


George and Amal Clooney

2021: Domaine du Canadel in Provence

In early 2021, the Clooneys made headlines with their purchase of an $8.3 million wine estate in Provence, France, named Domaine du Canadel. This 18th-century estate in Brignoles, near Brad Pitt’s Château Miraval, spans 425 acres with extensive gardens, a lake, an olive grove, a 72-foot shaded pool, tennis courts, and a 25-acre vineyard. Brignoles’ mayor welcomed the Clooneys to the community via Twitter in July 2021, marking their official residency in this idyllic locale.


George and Amal Clooney’s real estate investments reflect their glamorous lifestyle and evolving needs. From California to Italy, Mexico, England, New York, and France, their homes serve as luxurious sanctuaries perfect for entertaining family and friends while providing private retreats for their growing family. Each property tells a story, marking significant milestones in their personal and professional lives.
