8 Celebrity homes that you can Rent

Ever dreamed of staying in your favorite celebrity’s home? Well, it is time to make this dream come true. There are several places you can go to, for a leisurely stay in some of the world’s top celebrities’ palaces. If you can afford the price, it means sleeping in the star’s room, touching his antiques, looking at the photographs scattered about, and even using his vehicle—completing your celebrity-for-a-day fantasy.

Since celebrities pay an astronomical price for their elegant homes, leasing it to responsible people—those whose applications are approved—means helping with the costs. Celebrities have also been affected by the economic downturn, so some of them have had to find innovative ways of earning more money. With this arrangement, they not only earn extra; they are also helping people live their fantasies.
