Ed Sheeran just signed a lease on Brooklyn's priciest rental, where he lived while successfully defending himself against an £80 million ($100m) lawsuit in New York – but the ink was barely dry by the time he was found not guilty. The 'Shape of You' singer was being sued due to alleged similarities between his 2014 song 'Thinking Out Loud' and that of Marvin Gaye's classic 'Let's Get it On.' Although he successfully defended himself, the star has also been hit by upsets in his personal life, so it's no wonder he sought out a lofty penthouse he could escape to. Let's take a look around...

The singer broke down in tears after winning the copyright infringement lawsuit, saying "I'm obviously very happy with the outcome of the case" but at the same time "unbelievably frustrated that baseless claims like this are allowed to go to court at all."  He added: "It's devastating to be accused of stealing someone else's song when we put so much work into our livelihoods."

Hours after he addressed fans and media outside the court, Sheeran released his latest album, Subtract. Delving into depression, loss and hope, the album is already being hailed as "easily his best ever." Aside from the trial, the pop star has suffered a number of difficulties recently, including his wife Cherry's 2022 cancer diagnosis and the death of best friend Jamal Edwards. "I felt like I was drowning," he said in his recent Disney+ documentary The Sum of It All.

It's unclear whether Sheeran will keep the apartment on now that the trial has ended, but it's easy to see why he chose the £29,000 ($36k) a month four-bedroom apartment. It's spacious, airy and decorated in calming neutrals, making it the perfect place to wind down after a day in court. Taking up three storeys of a brand new 100-unit building in Brooklyn Heights, the penthouse was the most expensive lease available in the whole of Brooklyn when it was listed in January 2023. 

It's no wonder the singer chose Brooklyn for his temporary home. It's far enough from Manhattan to escape the fray, but was close enough to commute in for the trial, which took place in Manhattan's Federal Court. It even has a large private roof terrace where Sheeran could relax without fear of intrusion. 

“I think it ticks a lot of boxes for what you want today in a New York penthouse triplex,” Sarah Williams, founder and CEO of SOCIETE Real Estate, told The New York Post. “Security. Space. Five-star amenities. Dramatic 16-foot ceilings and soaring Manhattan skyline views.” The building's "immense security measures" no doubt gave the superstar peace of mind as he sought refuge from his legal woes.

Despite the beauty of the apartment, we can only assume he will now be keen to get back to his UK base. Sadly, the musician was forced to miss the funeral of his 98-year-old grandmother Nancy due to the trial and said afterwards that he "will never get that time back."

Sheeran had threatened to quit music altogether if he was found guilty of plagiarising the 1973 hit. Fans of the 'Perfect' singer will be relieved by the positive outcome. Hopefully he can now enjoy his peaceful new pad, which includes an enormous spa-like marble bathroom, where the star can wash away the stresses of the trail.

When they're not putting on incredible live shows or releasing chart-topping singles, these world-famous pop stars are relaxing in some truly incredible homes. From Justin Timberlake’s Hollywood Hills compound to P!nk's lavish Malibu beach house, Camila Cabello's romantic villa high above the Sunset Strip and Billie Eilish's sprawling equestrian ranch, let's take a tour of some of the most spectacular pop star residences in the world. 

Three years after snapping it up, Cuban-American pop star Camila Cabello parted ways with her romantic villa in Los Angeles, California in December 2021. It had been suggested that the 'Señorita' singer was house-hunting in Miami with her longtime boyfriend (and fellow musician), Shawn Mendes, but the couple have reportedly now broken up. While we wait for the dust to settle on that story, let's first step inside Cabello's current residence...

Dating back to 1977, the elegant property was designed in Mediterranean Revival style and sits at the end of a private driveway, right above the Sunset Strip. Cabello bought the 3,570-square-foot house in April 2019, paying $3.4 million (£2.5m) for the privilege. Although she listed the villa with Compass for just over $3.9 million (£2.9m), it sold after just nine days for a whopping $4.3 million (£3.4m).

The house can be entered via a quaint private courtyard. Step through the front door and you’ll find yourself in a light-filled foyer that flows through to split-level, open-plan living rooms. From distressed hardwood flooring to retractable walls of glass, this home is a juxtaposition of old and new. There's a huge kitchen fit for a celebrity chef, numerous lounges for unwinding and entertaining, and a dining room that overlooks the garden. Cabello converted the home’s forth bedroom into a state-of-the-art recording studio. There’s also a professional vocal booth located inside the attached two-car garage.

Many of the living rooms on the ground floor flow out to the Zen-like courtyard garden, where a multi-level deck, saltwater swimming pool, alfresco dining zone, fire pit and outdoor kitchen can be found. Romantic and cosy, the beautiful backyard is decorated with fairy lights, grapevines and outdoor fireplaces, making it a magical and memorable spot to enjoy evening drinks. Watch this space to see what Camila Cabello buys next!

American singer-songwriter Billie Eilish rose to fame in 2019, with the release of her debut studio album, When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? Despite only being on the music scene for a few years, the 'Bad Guy' singer is now thought to be worth a cool $53 million (£39.4m) as of 2022, and even made Forbes' 30 Under 30 list in 2019 – oh, and did we mention that she's only 21 years old? Of course, with such wealth comes great real estate opportunities, and Eilish certainly hasn't wasted any time.

In November 2019, when she was just 17 years old, Billie Eilish snapped up this sprawling equestrian estate in the city of Glendale, California, dropping $2.3 million (£1.7m). The singer bought the property from fellow musician, former British X-Factor winner, Leona Lewis. The 'Bleeding Love' singer paid $1.2 million (£893k) for the house in 2013, and first listed it in the middle of 2017 for $2.9 million (£2.2m), so Eilish seems to have bagged herself a bargain.

Not just any old house, the equestrian estate dates back to 1952 and was made for horse lover Eilish. The three-quarter-acre property comes equipped with four-stall stables, a tack room, a riding arena, a feed room and a fenced paddock. Inside, the 2,100-square-foot single-story ranch is light, bright and modern – making it perfect for one of the world's most iconic musicians.

The property features three bedrooms, three bathrooms, an open-plan living room with a hanging egg chair, a spacious kitchen and a dining zone. Chic throughout, the interior spaces boast hardwood floors, foldaway glass doors and elegant built-ins. Many of the rooms, including the master suite, spill out into the garden.

As well as ample equestrian facilities, the garden of the celebrity ranch also boasts plenty of places for unwinding. There's a swimming pool and spa area, a Balinese-style sunbathing bed, a guesthouse, a horse keeper’s apartment and a goat pen, in case Eilish fancies creating herself a petting zoo. 

As the undisputed Queen of Pop, Britney Spears has been in the limelight since 2000, when her debut single, 'Oops!... I Did It Again', landed in the charts. In and out of the news, thanks to the controversy surrounding her conservatorship battle, Britney is now a free woman – and newly engaged to her long-term partner, Sam Asghari. With a reported $70 million (£52m) now at her disposal, it's no wonder Britney has snapped up an array of stunning abodes...

Perhaps Britney's most impressive home is this one in the heart of Los Angeles. She bought the amazing estate in 2015 for $7.4 million (£5.5m) and it isn't difficult to understand why. Sprawling, secure and stylish, it was the perfect option for a pop mega-star. The palatial Italian-style villa is enclosed by 21 acres of land and benefits from views over the city's glistening skyline from almost every window.

Standing proud at 13,300 square feet, the grand property is as impressive inside as it is from the outside. The entrance offers an imposing welcome for any visitors and Britney fans will recognise it from the star's numerous social media videos. With its marbled floor, huge pillars and winding staircase, the foyer leads through to the main living room, which features a 35-foot high ceiling and unobstructed garden views.

As well as plenty of formal living spaces for unwinding, the home also offers a large country-style kitchen, five bedrooms, seven bathrooms, a wood-panelled office, a media room and a 3,500-bottle temperature-controlled wine cellar. Fitness fanatic Britney often shows off her gymnastic skills from her home gym, too, which is decked out with mirrored walls and state-of-the-art equipment. How's that for billionaire bling?

Of course, Britney Spears' garden isn't ordinary, either. The manicured grounds house a large pool, a sunbathing deck and a poolside pavilion with its own kitchen, bathroom and panoramic views over the mountains. Head further into the yard and you'll also find a lighted tennis court, an orchard and a three-green golf course. What more could a pop princess possibly need?

Born Alecia Beth Moore, P!nk has become one of the world's most recognisable pop stars and has enjoyed a career that has spanned more than 20 years. Her first single, 'There You Go', was released in 2000 and the star hasn't looked back, accumulating a $200 million (£149m) fortune, thanks to her eight studio albums and 53 smash hit singles. Today, the star is a mother to two children, but she still finds time for sell-out tours and the odd property purchase...

P!nk's latest real estate deal was this stunning villa in Malibu, California. The beachfront home was actually built in 1976, but thanks to a total renovation it's now a chic and sophisticated pad fit for a VIP. The 4,320-square-foot home offers five bedrooms, four bathrooms and a tranquil backyard that was designed for entertaining. 

P!nk isn't the only celebrity to have owned the property, either. Barry Manilow is also said to have lived here before selling up in 2012. P!nk clearly fell head over heels for the pad, since she reportedly paid $200,000 (£149k) over the asking price for it, forking out a cool $13.7 million (£10.2m). 

Yet she gained plenty of bang for her buck, since the lavish celebrity home comes complete with spacious living areas kitted out with floor-to-ceiling windows, as well as a guesthouse, a Jacuzzi, a formal dining room, a contemporary kitchen with bruised gold fixtures and a wraparound balcony with ocean views.

Every room also benefits from incredible panoramic views, including the master bathroom, which boasts a window-side tub. Could P!nk be the next celebrity property flipper? The star reportedly put the pad back on the market in October for $15 million (£11.2m), four months after she snapped it up for $13.7 million (£10.2m). The singer also owns a 200-acre ranch in the Santa Ynez Valley, for which she paid an estimated $13 million (£9.7m). Who knows what the 'Get The Party Started' singer will buy next...

Grammy Award-winning singer and record producer The Weeknd is no stranger to lavish living. With a reported $300 million (£238m) fortune, four studio albums and an iconic Super Bowl performance under his belt, The Weeknd has used his status and wealth to snap up an array of awe-inspiring homes. Yet the singer's most impressive pad is probably the mega-mansion he bought in August 2021.

The 'Save Your Tears' singer dropped a whopping $70 million (£52m) on the lavish spread, which is nestled on just shy of two acres of land in one of LA's most sought-after neighbourhoods, Bel-Air. The spectacular estate was renovated over a three-year period, during which time it was expanded by a staggering 13,000 square feet and a whole host of opulent extras were added.

If the exterior wasn't enough to impress you, the interior makes it incredibly easy to understand why The Weeknd was so eager to snap up this jaw-dropping mansion. Encompassing 33,000 square feet, to comes complete with nine bedrooms, a formal dining room with a coffered ceiling and a striking lounge with mirrored detailing and a floor-to-ceiling marble fireplace. French doors open out onto a terrace, so the star and his VIP guests can enjoy alfresco drinks.

Elsewhere, you'll find a contemporary kitchen with industrial charm. Fit for a celebrity chef, the room comes with a large preparation island, marble countertops and copper cabinetry, while a wall of glazed panels allows the space to be fully opened up to the exterior dining patio. But, of course, the impression features don't stop there...

The ultimate party pad, the home also boasts an indoor swimming pool, a Turkish-style hammam, a gym, movie theatre and even a recording studio – something we're sure the musician will make use of. Outside, the pristine grounds also offer an array of high-end extras, from a large infinity-edge pool to a multipurpose sports court. 

With an impressive 10-year career as a chart-topping singer, it's no surprise that Ariana Grande has slowly built up an impressive property portfolio. With an estimated $240 million (£190m) fortune, the pint-sized pop star owns a stunning Tudor-inspired mansion in Montecito, which she bought from real estate mogul, Ellen DeGeneres, in May 2020, as well as a pricey pad that overlooks the skyline of Los Angeles.

In June 2020, Ariana Grande bought this modern mansion set high above the Sunset Strip. The magnificent spread set her back a cool $13.7 million (£10.2m) and offers more than 10,000 square feet of living space – not to mention jaw-dropping city views. Constructed in 2018, the property has reportedly never been occupied, but has been on and off the market with its price reaching as much as $25.5 million (£18.9m).

The home's front doors lead into a marble-lined atrium, which flows into a sprawling open-plan living room that boasts floor-to-ceiling walls of glass. A double-sided fireplace sits at the end of the space, separating it from the swanky formal dining room. Elsewhere, you'll find four bedrooms, seven bathrooms and a bar, where Ari and her husband Dalton Gomez likely host plenty of cocktail parties.

Ariana's luxurious kitchen is the perfect place for hosting. Fitted out with designer Miele appliances and a huge black silk granite centre island, the space is filled with natural light thanks to extensive glazing. The perfect home for hosting, the lower level is also jam-packed full of VIP amenities, including a movie theatre, a wine cellar, a gym and a wellness centre where Ari can mediate before shows.

Upstairs, the master bedroom is a newlywed's dream. Spread over the entire top level, it features a walk-in wardrobe, lounge and a stunning en suite with a soaking tub and glass shower. The singer's pad doesn’t have a garden, but it does boast a large patio and a stunning swimming pool with breathtaking views. 

Since releasing her debut single 'If You Had My Love' in 1999, Jennifer Lopez has fast become one of the world's most successful and popular music stars. Today, her net worth is estimated to be $400 million (£298m), so it's really no wonder she has enough cash going spare to spend on lavish homes. Yet it's the star's holiday home in Miami that might be her most envy-inducing...

In August 2020 Jennifer Lopez splashed out on this lavish oceanfront estate on Miami's celebrity-packed Star Island. The 'I'm Real' singer paid $32.5 million (£24m) for the house, with her then-fiance, former basketball star Alex Rodriguez. The huge 14,800-square-foot mansion comes complete with a standalone guesthouse, as well as almost one-acre of land. 

Fit for a pop princess, the lavish home boasts Venetian plaster walls, grand fireplaces, elaborate timber built-ins and an elevator that services every floor. There's a formal living room, dining room, panelled bar, luxurious kitchen, climate-controlled wine cellar and family room, which offers floor-to-ceiling windows that look out over the Miami skyline. 

The extravagant mansion boasts 10 bedrooms and 12 bathrooms, spread across the main house and the guest cottage, but the master suite is probably the most inviting space. The lush room features a private sitting room and a study, as well as two waterfront terraces, a walk-in wardrobe and an ensuite bathroom. 

Of course, the home also boasts a billionaire backyard. With tropical gardens and plenty of spaces for outdoor entertaining, it comes complete with a bar, a cabana bath, an infinity-edge swimming pool and an illuminated Jacuzzi. There's even a 100-foot-long dock, where J.Lo could park up a yacht. Now that the singer has rekindled with her former flame, Ben Affleck, she's reportedly on the hunt for a new love nest in Beverly Hills. Watch this space!

Once considered the bad boy of pop, Justin Bieber has come a long way over the years – and that includes his real estate journey. After being discovered at the tender age of 13, Bieber now has an estimated $300 million (£238m) net worth and he's used his wealth to climb the rungs of the property ladder. After buying his first marital home with wife Hailey in November 2019, Bieber set his sights on another awe-inspiring pad...

Just 18 months after buying their first home together, Justin and Hailey forked out $25.8 million (£19.2m) for this stunning mansion, which is located high in the mountains above Beverly Hills. The lavish estate is secluded inside the guard-gated community of Beverly Park and comes with two-and-a-half acres of land, as well as an array of celebrity neighbours.

Encompassing 11,145 square feet, the house boasts seven bedrooms and 10 bathrooms, as well as a whole host of extravagant features fit for a VIP couple. The front door opens into a two-storey entrance hall that leads through to a formal living room, a family room and a high-end kitchen. 

Upstairs, the master suite has its very own sitting room and floor-to-ceiling glass doors that open out to a patio with views of the surrounding mountains. The ensuite bathroom is just as glamorous and comes equipped with a grand chandelier hanging over the tub. Elsewhere, there's a gym and a soundproof movie theatre.

Head outside and you'll find a luxurious backyard, complete with a covered loggia, an outdoor fireplace, an infinity-edged swimming pool, expansive lawns and a full-sized tennis court. At the age of 29, it's likely this won't be the last home Bieber buys, so we can't wait to see what moves he makes next...

With a career spanning over 20 years, American pop star Demi Lovato has built up an impressive property portfolio during their rise to fame. Thought to be worth a cool $40 million (£30m), the 'Sorry Not Sorry' singer has spent time living across California, in Laurel Canyon, Toluca Lake and Sherman Oaks, but now resides in a contemporary mansion in the city's Studio City neighbourhood. Let's take a look around...

Studio City has become a popular area for young celebs, with the likes of Selena Gomez and 5 Seconds of Summer guitarist Michael Clifford having owned homes there. Demi joined them in September 2020, when they put down $7 million (£5.2m) to buy this chic and contemporary mansion in this chilled-out suburb of Los Angeles.

Demi was the first owner of the newly-built mansion, which spans over 8,500 square feet and features a beautiful open-plan interior. The spacious and light-filled living areas are all kitted out with high ceilings and elegant design elements, such as wide-plank hardwood floors, working fireplaces and steel-framed windows. Light wood tones add warmth, while mid-century inspired light fixtures impart the home with plenty of character.

The perfect party pad, the property has six large bedrooms and nine bathrooms, as well as an easy indoor-outdoor flow, with vast swathes of glass connecting the main living areas with the stunning garden. Outside, Demi has access to a swimming pool, a barbecue station, alfresco dining zone and multiple seating areas, where they can soak up the Californian sunshine in style.

Demi's master suite has been decorated with calming neutral tones and offers a streamlined fireplace, built-in shelving and a walk-in wardrobe, as well as an ensuite bathroom with dual vanities. Packed with luxurious amenities, the property even boasts an underground garage with space for four cars and an extensive smart home system that's controlled remotely. 

After making his name as the lead singer of 90s boy band NSYNC, Justin Timberlake began a highly successful solo career and went on to become one of the world’s best-selling artists, selling over 88 million records worldwide. With an estimated net worth of $250 million (£186m), Timberlake has plenty of cash to spend on incredible homes. Let's take a look inside the property the star has owned for two decades...

Justin Timberlake purchased this compound in the Hollywood Hills almost 20 years ago, paying $8.3 million (£6.2m). The 'Can’t Stop The Feeling!' singer then purchased a vacant seven-acre lot behind the property, for added privacy. After marrying actor Jessica Biel in 2012, Timberlake began renovating the palatial pad, transforming it into a chic and contemporary home for him and his family.

The Spanish-style residence was built in 2000 but there's nothing out of date about it. Step through the front door and you'll be greeted by a light-filled and luxurious interior, with soaring ceilings, high-end fixtures and a neutral colour palette. Spreading more than 13,500 square feet, the property offers nine bedrooms, 11 bathrooms and a 10-acre garden.

The interior design was undertaken by noted L.A. designer, Estee Stanley, and clearly no expense was spared. Inside, you'll find a cosy living room with views of the San Fernando Valley skyline, a gourmet kitchen and a master suite with a dressing room and ensuite, while outside you'll find a living room that wraps around the home – perfect for alfresco entertaining. 

Elsewhere, you'll find a concrete screening room, a 85-foot zero-edge swimming pool, plunge pool, lighted tennis court, vegetable garden and a standalone guesthouse. In October 2021, Timberlake and Biel placed the property on the market with an incredible $35 million (£26m) price tag – that's a whopping $26.7 million (£19.9m) more than the singer originally paid. The couple is said to own a four-bedroom penthouse in New York City and 127 undeveloped acres in Nashville.
