A far cry from the Mississippi wood-frame shack she grew up in, Oprah Winfrey now has numerous stunning multimillion-dollar residential properties in her bulging real estate portfolio and is said to be worth $3.5 billion (£3bn). The media mogul, philanthropist and actress has bought and sold a number of amazing properties over the years, including most recently to a particularly famous Friend.

Oprah's Promised Land estate main house, Montecito, California
Back in 2001 Oprah was invited to a party at this dreamy estate in the idyllic village of Montecito near Santa Barbara and instantly fell in love with the tranquil 42-acre property, so much so that she used her formidable powers of persuasion to get the owners Robert and Marlene Veloz to sell up—the estate wasn't actually on the market—and wasted no time writing out a cheque for almost $52 million (£43m).

Worth more than $100 million (£82.5m) today, the glorious Promised Land estate spans 70 acres thanks to some canny deals on neighbouring properties. At its centre is Oprah's 23,000-square-foot mansion, an impressive neo-Georgian pile, and the amazing landscaped grounds include rose gardens, terraces and fountains.

As her forever home, Promised Land is where Oprah and her long-term boyfriend Stedman Graham love to spend time. Beautifully decorated and filled with mementoes, books and artwork, it's been lovingly put together over the years. Oprah runs her business empire from here too, and is often posting pictures at home with her dogs on her Instagram page.

In order to make the dining room space more welcoming and relaxing, Oprah gave it—and the rest of the mansion—a huge makeover. Out went striped wallpaper and ornate antique furniture, replaced with a beige colour scheme, cream New England-style dresser and comfy upholstered chairs.

The kitchen is the heart of Oprah's mansion, a place where her friends can congregate and kick back.
The TV legend had the fireplace and pizza oven removed to free up more space, but left everything else as it was.

All in all the mansion boasts several living rooms, a library, kitchen, two home theatres, a wine cellar, an office, six bedrooms and 14 bathrooms. Seen here on New Year's Eve 2021, Oprah posted a video to her Instagram showing another glimpse of her fabulous dining table topped with Haitian food cooked by chef, Gregory Gourdet.

As you can imagine, celebrities love a walk-in wardrobe and Oprah is no different. With regular TV appearances and public appearances for her charity work and many business ventures, the media mogul needs to look the part. This smart room with fitted cabinets is where she stores her extensive clothing collection and she regularly shares videos with her followers while she's packing for one of her many trips around the world.

Oprah's renowned love of books makes itself felt in almost every room of the house, including her beautiful study. In addition to the sprawling neo-Georgian mansion, Oprah's estate comprises orchards, a koi pond, tennis courts, a pool and pool house, as well as a two-bedroom Craftsman-style guest house spanning 4,000 square feet.

Of course, who can forget Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's exclusive interview with close friend and neighbour, Oprah Winfrey? Premiered in March 2021, it took place in a secret location near to the couple's mansion in Montecito, Santa Barbara, just a six-minute drive from Oprah's Promise Land estate.

In 2003 Oprah paid $5.3 million (£4.4m) for two parcels of land on the Hawaiian island of Maui totalling 23.7 acres, not to mention a modest grey farmhouse, which she has since transformed into a ravishing vacation home. Over the years, the TV icon has bought up acres of land and at least a dozen buildings in Maui, and is reported to have spent a total of $60 million (£49.5m) in the process.

The Maui estate now spans a colossal 163 acres and in 2010 she was granted permission to run a bed and breakfast on the site by the Maui County Council. Oprah has made use of the fertile ground and amazing climate and now grows fruit, vegetables and flowers on the site.

The highlight of Oprah's blissful Hawaiian hideaway has got to be the gorgeous farmhouse with its wraparound veranda, which like the terrace in the upper level, makes for the ideal space to while away warm evenings in a rocking chair and take in the exceptional vistas.

Oprah's contemporary ski chalet, Telluride, Colorado

Oprah snapped up a whopping 60 acres of land in the ski resort of Telluride in Colorado in 2014 and a year later acquired a sensational five-bedroom, six-and-a-half-bathroom contemporary ski chalet, which she bought from tech entrepreneur Bob Wall for $14 million (£11.
5m) in a deal that included all furnishings.

The Queen of TV is an avid skier and has joyfully likened the pastime to being able to fly, so it was only a matter of time before she snagged a home near the slopes. The living room is the most jaw-dropping space in the 8,700-square-foot property. It wows with a double-height ceiling with wood panelling, dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows and a huge stone fireplace.

The house, which has been decked out with state-of-the-art Smart technology that controls everything from the security to the lighting and heating, also features a family room with a library—an essential for its book-loving owner—billiards table and a movie projection screen that drops down from the ceiling and disappears when not in use.

Rocking fine wood cabinetry and stainless-steel countertops, the open-plan kitchen is nice and spacious. Exposed steel beams lend the space a hip industrial feel though the warm wood cupboards and rustic stone wall prevent it from looking cold and clinical. The kitchen leads into a dining area that can seat up to eight people.

Talk about a house with a secret! It comes with a fabulous wine mine which is its pièce-de-résistance. The 56-foot cellar, which can store up to 1,600 bottles, was designed to resemble an old mine. It delights with a rusty old ore car and track and is tricked out with a sound system that plays sounds of dripping water and creaking wood to add to the ambience.

Other highlights of the ultra-modern property include a $150,000 (£124k) glass walkway with fibre optic lights that change colour, a bathroom that contains a $70,000 (£57k) tub with an inline heating system that keeps water consistently warm, a smoke sauna and best of all, a private funicular railway that is reported to have cost $240,000 (£198k).
Oprah's Seamair Farm, Montecito, California
Marty Rogers / Sage Auctions
Oprah expanded her Montecito real estate portfolio in December 2016 when she purchased the neighbouring property, a 23-acre equestrian estate called Seamair Farm. The talkshow luminary parted with $28.9 million (£23.8m) to acquire the estate, which contains a single-storey ranch house that was designed by architect Cliff May and completed in 1955.

Marty Rogers / Sage Auctions
May has been dubbed the Father of the Californian ranch house, which is considered the postwar suburban dream home, and Oprah's pad is an excellent example of the style he developed. The mid-century masterpiece has a wood-siding-clad exterior and an open-concept interior with four bedrooms, five-and-half bathrooms, a wine cellar and a total of four fireplaces.

Given Oprah owns a sizable mansion next door, it's unlikely she actually lives in the house, which is probably used as office space, staff quarters or to accommodate the many guests she welcomes. They are bound to appreciate the ranch house's secluded swimming pool, which is surrounded by a lush tropical-inspired garden.

The property also features three bijou residences that are no doubt used to house staff or guests.
The estate's equestrian facilities are top-notch and have been meticulously maintained as you can see from this shot of one of the riding rings. Note the manicured lawns and octagonal gazebo at its centre.

In addition to the riding rings, the property contains numerous paddocks and a multi-stall stable, which has to make it one of the finest equestrian estates for miles around. Other features of the property include a two-acre avocado grove and orchard with plenty of fragrant fruit trees.

The cherry on the cake is this picturesque koi pond with lush water-loving reeds and ornamental touches. The property also came with two private water wells to boot, very useful for keeping things green during the hot California summers.

Oprah's next big real estate buy came in the summer of 2018 when the billionaire media magnate paid a bargain $8.3 million (£6m) for a 43-acre waterfront estate called Madroneagle on Washington's Orcas Island, a magnet for the ultra-wealthy craving peace and solitude. The property, which was first put on the market in 2016, was listed for just under $12 million (£9.9m).

Former owner Kathleen Dickinson McDowell was by all accounts thrilled to sell the property to Oprah who she felt would be a great caretaker. Blending in beautifully with its surroundings, the main 8,000-square-foot house, which was designed by Dickinson McDowell and her late husband, was built using reclaimed wood and local sandstone, making it a wonderfully sustainable home.

The eco mansion, which is nestled within a calming Asian-style garden, has a total of four bedrooms and five bathrooms, and looks out onto its very own beach. The home's open-plan living room is simply divine. The high-ceilinged space seriously impresses with reclaimed beams, exposed stone walls and an enormous fireplace. Interestingly, the floorboards were gleaned from the original Sears building in Oprah's former stomping ground of Chicago.

The kitchen is totally Oprah-worthy and hands-down a fantastic space for the TV tycoon to hone her culinary skills – cooking is one of her favourite hobbies after all. Its standout features range from an enormous wood-fired pizza oven to a massive centre island and charmingly mismatched country-style cabinetry.

Wally Gudgell / Windermere Real Estate
Book-loving Oprah would have obviously been very taken with the home's snug reading nook. The comfy space, which is fitted with a number of capacious bookcases and dressers, looks like an exceedingly pleasant space in which to get lost in a gripping novel or flick through a magazine or two.

The home's bedrooms are just as cosy and this one delights with heart-stopping waterfront views. In 2021, Oprah sold her stunning estate in an off-market deal for a reported $14 million (£11.5m). Wally Gudgell, the agent who represented Oprah in the sale, reportedly said, “They were in the process of remodeling and they just realized in that process they were never going to be able to use it properly and it doesn’t make any sense.
” While the property was not formally listed, the deal marks the highest price ever paid for an Orcas Island property, sources familiar with the sale told the Biz Journal.

Oprah's then acquired actor Jeff Bridges' former home in Montecito. Like Seamair Farm, the ranch, which spans four acres, borders the Promised Land estate. The TV legend clinched the deal in November 2019, paying just under $6.9 million (£5.7m) to secure the property adjacent to her own.

Oprah got herself another bargain having paid the same price Bridges bought the ranch for in 2014, though the actor spent a fortune remodelling the Spanish Revival home following a landslide in 2018 that caused extensive damage.
In fact, the property was originally listed by Bridges for almost $8 million (£6.6m).

Bridges carried out a tasteful restoration of the house, which was designed by celebrated Californian architect James Osbourne Graig and constructed in 1919. This living room with its whitewashed walls, vaulted wooden ceiling, large lattice windows and generously sized fireplace has a minimal, elegant yet cosy feel.

The rustic yet pared-back style continues in the kitchen. We're sure Oprah adores the wooden ceiling that features several skylights, along with the custom wood cabinetry and the marble-topped centre island. Like the impeccable living room, the kitchen is simple and minimal though manages to be a warm and inviting space.

The classy theme carries into the master suite. The room enchants with exposed beams, bay windows and French doors that lead into the blissful backyard. The suite also features a supersized walk-in wardrobe and bathroom, which contains a deep-soaking tub to relax and unwind in.

Outside there's a pool and spa area, pool house and red brick terrace, as well as a carriage house that serves as an art studio, and an all-important private well. But Winfrey didn't stop there, adding to her Montecito property collection just two years later...

In early 2021, the Queen of Daytime TV splurged on another Montecito residence.
Splashing out a reported $10.5 million (£8.7m) on a Tuscan-style farmhouse complete with two cottages, Oprah will have enjoyed panoramic ocean views and a driveway surrounded by lush landscaping according to the NY Post. But does she still live there?

Oprah’s Montecito home caught the eye of another VIP, who even went so far as to snap it up in August 2022 in an off-market deal—roughly eighteen months after Oprah purchased it herself. The NY Post reported that none other than Jennifer Aniston splashed out just under $14.8 million (£12m) on the Tuscan-style farmhouse main residence, while Winfrey’s longtime personal trainer bought the other half of the estate—comprising of two cottages—for $2.3 million (£1.9m), providing Oprah with an impressive $6.5 million (£5.3m) profit.
What's on the horizon for Oprah?

On top of the real estate eye candy we've featured, Oprah is said to own a couple of modest properties in Chicago and Nashville, as well as possibly additional holdings we don't know about.

View Oprah Winfrey's house in Montecito – a historic home bought from actor Jeff Bridges
Oprah Winfrey recently purchased Jeff Bridges's Spanish-Revival estate in Montecito for $6.85 million, the same amount Bridges and his wife, Susan Geston, paid for the property in 2014.
Situated on four impressive acres of gardens, the house is 3,517 square feet and was originally built in 1919 by famed architect James Osborn Craig.
The house has a high-end kitchen with appliances a professional chef would be pleased with, plus quartz countertops. There's a master bathroom with a marble and glass shower, plus teak flooring with hydroponic heat, too.
And, as understated as the house looks, it is pure laid-back luxury.
Take a tour below – and when you're done, hop on over to our page dedicated to the modern farmhouse style for more.

The four-acre complex features five separate structures packed with modern farmhouse ideas: a beautiful stucco-clad main house, fully-fitted guesthouse, pool house, carriage house and gated equestrian facility with stables – all in the impressive Spanish Revival style that became common in the American West and Southwest in the early 20th century.
The property also has two bedrooms, three bathrooms, original windows, high ceilings, French doors, and sprawling gardens.

The media mogul extraordinaire already owns two other homes in the star-studded Santa Barbara neighborhood: an estate known as the 'Promised Land' as well as a horse farm, which is in close proximity.
Oprah also owns homes in Maui, Hawaii, Orcas Island, Washington and a ski chalet in Telluride, Colorado.

Montecito is a sought-after neighborhood at the western tip of Santa Barbara with commanding views over the Pacific Ocean.
A well-kept area with lush landscapes and greenery, the neighborhood has recovered from the 2018 Thomas Fire that destroyed many of the area’s homes.
Though Oprah’s and Jeff’s homes remained safe with little damage to the grounds, Gwyneth Paltrow’s home sustained damage and Ellen DeGeneres and wife, Portia de Rossi, had to evacuate.

Oprah Winfrey, Ellen DeGeneres, Rob Lowe and Ariana Grande also call Montecito home.
Oprah Winfrey owns three ranches in Montecito with a total value of almost $86 million and a total area of 70 acres.
In 2001, Winfrey bought the 42-acre property for $50 million, and in 2015, the adjacent horse ranch for $29 million. The entire area serves as its base, known as the "Promised Land".
In November 2019, she bought her third Montecito Ranch from neighbor Jeff Bridges for $6.
85 million. The 4-acre ranch has three bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms, as well as a pool house with a sauna.
In May, Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi paid $14.3 million to buy out the historic San Leandro Ranch, which they sold to Tinder co-founder Sean Red in 2018.
The DeGeneresis de Rossi bought and sold many multi-million dollar homes in the Montecito area, selling them to other celebrities to make a profit.
The 1850 San Leandro Ranch is near Winfrey's Promised Land, according to Architectural Digest. DeGeneres and de Rossi originally bought the house for $7.2 million in 2017 and sold it to Red for $11 million. The couple then bought the property for $14.3 million.
Ariana Grande recently married Dalton Gomez in an intimate ceremony at her Montecito home, which she purchased from DeGeneres and de Rossi for $6.75 million.
According to Architectural Digest, in January 2020, Ellen DeGeneres and de Rossi bought and renovated a 5,500-square-foot home known as the Porter House.
Grande purchased the home in June 2020.
This 2 bedroom hotel was built in the 1700s. Originally built as two barns in Surrey, England, it was remodeled in California as a Tudor-style two-bedroom house.
Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom bought their Montecito mansion for $14.2 million in October 2020.
Six bedroom, 12 bathroom home built in 1928 set on 9 acres of land. The couple spent five months renovating the house before moving in with their daughter Daisy Dove.
On an episode of Dax Shepard's Armchair Expert podcast that aired in May 2021, Prince Harry shared that he and Bloom alert each other when there are photographers in the area.
Rob Lowe has lived in Montecito for 26 years and said the area "will never be the same" now that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle live there.
Low told the owners of E! Daily Pop news talk show in May 2021 that while Markle and Harry are "keeping a low profile," they have raised the level of interest in the area.
"When Oprah moved in, the Montecito renaissance began," he said. “And now that the royals are here, the good news is property values are rising, the bad news is the line is longer at Starbucks.”
Lowe and his wife own two homes in Montecito and sold the third they designed from scratch last year for $45 million. According to Variety, their newest home in the area is a $13 million, 6.7-acre property that is "within walking distance" of Markle and Harry's estate.

According to Trulia, the existing 5,022-square-foot, four-bedroom home was listed for renovation, and their purchase also included an adjacent property. Paltrow and Falchuk demolished the house and are currently building a 14,000-square-foot mansion on the site, according to the Daily Mail.
Julia Louis-Dreyfus and husband Brad Hall live in an energy-efficient beach house they renovated in 2003.
