Celebrity Homes Before and After Fame (5 of 6)
Arnold Schwarzenegger’s beginnings were humble by any measure. He grew up in a modest yellow two-story house in a small Austrian town, far removed from Hollywood, politics, or global fame. That simple childhood home has since taken on a life of its own—today, it’s been transformed into a museum celebrating his extraordinary journey from small-town kid to bodybuilding legend, movie star, and public figure.
Arnold’s current living situation couldn’t be more different. He now resides in a sprawling Brentwood mansion in Los Angeles that reflects every chapter of his larger-than-life career. The estate boasts seven bedrooms, ten bathrooms, a state-of-the-art gym that rivals professional facilities, a swimming pool, a tennis court, and a polished office fit for a former U.S. governor. The contrast is striking, proving that his story is one of relentless ambition and reinvention.
Chris Pratt
Chris Pratt’s early life didn’t exactly follow a straight path to Hollywood success. He grew up in a family home in Washington state, but in his early twenties, he took a risk that few would dare—moving to Maui and living out of a van while working as a waiter and auditioning whenever he could. It was a leap of faith, and one that ultimately paid off.
After breaking through in film and television, Pratt upgraded to a stylish Hollywood Hills home worth more than $3 million, which he shared with his then-wife, Anna Faris. The property featured a saltwater pool, spa, gym, and tennis court, reflecting his new A-list status. Following their divorce, Pratt began another chapter, settling into an even grander $15.6 million estate with his current wife, Katherine Schwarzenegger—a far cry from van life on the beach.
