EVA MENDES – $1.27 MILLION, CALIFORNIA

Eva Mendes was born in Florida in 1974. Her performances began in the late 1990s. After a series of minor roles and insignificant performances, she eventually broke into the mainstream and became a leading role in Hollywood movies. American actress and businesswoman used to live in a 1,732-square-foot mansion with her former boyfriend, George Gargurevich. The massive property boasted no less than three bedrooms and two bathrooms. Her incredible investment planning landed her and her then-boyfriend the glamorous home, which she purchased for $584k in 2002.

Soon, Mendes and her long-time partner separated. The house was put on the market for $1.27 million, nearly twice the price she paid. Although she had to say goodbye to her lover of eight years, Mendes has moved on and is now happily living in a home with current partner Ryan Gosling and their children.
