6. Oprah Winfrey

We can definitely forgive Oprah Winfrey for being a little ostentatious. She grew up so poor that sometimes her parents had to send her out to school wearing a potato sack. Completely understandably, when she started earning the big bucks, she wanted to live a life of luxury as far removed from that as possible. She's doing it in style.

Winfrey's $85m California mansion actually looks to have been built and decorated in good taste, which isn't something you can always say of celebrity homes. As you might expect from someone who works in the entertainment business, there's a huge cinema indoors, and much of the land outside has been given over to a lake for her huge and exotic collection of fish. If you get a little wet when you go outside to look at them, there's no need to worry. There are ten fireplaces inside for you to dry off in front of.
