When people talk about the lifestyles of the rich and famous, then it's celebrities like these they talk about. From luxury yachts to private jets, supercars, first dibs on the best parties, and red carpet appearances, celebrities are renowned for living it up, and these ones are no different.

But they are at least a little bit. All you have to do is look at these modest houses they live in. Before we go on, we must remind that these aren't the only houses they own, but it also proves that not all celebrities want extravagant houses. Some just want a place to call home.

Shaquille O'Neal - $235,000, Florida

Shaquille O'Neal is loaded. The retired NBA star and basketball great made his money on the court, and endorsements came together to help him build a net worth of $400 million while also building an impressive car collection, feeding his Superman obsession, and building an exceptional real estate portfolio.

One of the houses in this portfolio is this Mount Dora property in Florida. He bought it at steel, paying $235,000 for it in 2012. It's not too shabby, though, coming with five bedrooms, four bathrooms, and a wet bar along with an entertainment room. The only thing missing is an indoor pool and basketball court.

Zooey Deschanel - $1.69 Million, Hollywood Hills

She may be famous for playing the lead role in a show called "New Girl," but there is nothing new about Zooey Deschanel. She made her acting debut way back in 1999 with a role in the film "Mumford." Before starring in "New Girl," she had a role in the movie "The New Guy."

She isn't too over the top about her houses, though, and spent $1.69 million on the Hollywood Hills house. She bought it from Mark Ruffalo, and it came with three bedrooms, four bathrooms, and a sunroom. She offloaded the property in 2015. In 2020 she had a voice role in "Trolls 2: World Tour."

Matthew McConaughey - Undisclosed, Santa Monica

Matthew McConaughey is renowned for his many emotive performances in films like "A Time To Kill" and "Amistad." He is also renowned for his acclaimed and Oscar-winning performance in the movie "Dallas Buyers Club." But before the Oscar acclaim and before he was a family man, he maintained an Airstream trailer.

It's a 2004 model and parked along the coastline of Santa Monica. It's a 30-foot example of master space use and includes a living area, a kitchen, a bathroom with a shower, and a bedroom. He has customized it with surfer deco and loves the solitude it offers him. In 2021 he voiced Buster Moon in "Sing 2."

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds - $2.3 Million, Bedford, New York

Ryan Reynold may be renowned for his major roles in films like "Buried" and for playing the mouthiest of loud mouth superheroes, Deadpool. But deep down, he suffers from anxiety and has openly spoken about this, saying he conducted many interviews in character as the superhero to get through it.

This is probably why he owns this dreamy but modest Bedford, New York property with his wife, Blake Lively. The house is strictly for vacations and includes a 1.7-acre garden, library, and a sun porch, perfect for relaxing away from the anxiety-inducing Hollywood hustle and bustle. In 2021 he starred in the film Red Notice.

Jennifer Lawrence - $879,000, Santa Monica

Jennifer Lawrence has always tried to come across as just another regular girl. Before she was an Oscar-winning actress with starring roles in films like "Silver Linings Playbook," "The Hunger Games," and "X-Men: First Class," she lived in this modest Santa Monica townhouse which she bought for a reported $879,000.

Considering its classing as a condo, it's a pretty spacious place and includes four bathrooms and two stories to move around in. She eventually moved into a more celebrity-style home in 2014 but still maintains her regular girl image. In 2021 she starred in a film called "Don't Look Up."

Kesha - $1.6 Million, Venice California

American singer and songwriter Kesha liked to keep things simple. This is why when she started making it big in the industry, she still lived in a peaceful bungalow in Venice, California. She purchased the house in 2014 when she was going through a lot of changes in her brand and life.

Modest is probably an applicable description, although maybe not the most fitting. It's cozy, at 1,416 square feet, with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, and it also has a detached garage and an art studio. In 2021 she embarked on a headlining tour.

Robert Pattinson - $2,176,500, Hollywood Hills

Robert Pattinson may found fame as the main character in the "Twilight" film series, but he's making his own waves now. He has earned respect for his roles in "Water for Elephants" and "The Lighthouse." He is also cast as Batman, and his career is moving from strength to strength.

He likes living a simple life, and that is why he moved from the extravagant Los Feliz house he shared with Kristen Stewart to a cozier, ranch-type house in Hollywood Hills. The abode has 1,940-square feet of living space and a simple two-bedroom, two-bathroom setup. In 2022 he has a role in "The Batman."

Warren Buffet - $250,000, Omaha, Nebraska

If there is one man that does modesty well, it's Warren Buffet. What makes him extraordinary, though, is that he is a billionaire and doesn't need to skimp on the bill. The CEO of Berkshire Hathaway has a net worth of $117 billion but still keeps it low-key, driving a Cadillac XTS.

He still owns a home he bought in 1958 that cost him $31,500. Today the equivalent price would be $250k. The house is in Omaha, Nebraska, and he says he continues to live there because he is happy there. It features five bedrooms 2.5 bathrooms, and Buffet considers it his third-best investment.
