Worst Celebrity Home Designs: You Won’t Believe #1

Celebrities, known for their eccentricities, often extend their unique personalities to their homes. While fame and fortune might afford them the best resources, it doesn’t always translate to good taste. From bizarre themes to chaotic decor, some celebrity homes leave us questioning their design choices. Get ready to see how wealth and fame can sometimes lead to truly baffling interior design decisions.

Top 10 Celebrities with the Worst Interior Design Taste

Here are ten celebrity homes that might make you wonder if money can buy happiness… or just madness.

10 Dick Clark

The legendary Dick Clark, famous for hosting American Bandstand and New Year’s celebrations, had a surprising obsession: “The Flintstones.” His Malibu home was designed to be a near-perfect replica of Fred and Wilma’s cave-home.

With its uneven furniture, wavy windows, and stone-like walls, the house truly captures the essence of a modern Stone Age family. While it might be fun for a themed hotel stay, living in it for decades sounds less than dino-mite.

9 Penn Jillette

Penn Jillette, the brilliant magician, is known for his intelligence and enthusiasm, but also for his, let’s say, unique taste. His home, nicknamed “The Slammer,” reflects his eccentric personality.

The exterior resembles an oversized McDonald’s play pit, while the interior is even stranger. With fire-pole entrances, fake crime scenes, and odd curios like a mural that reads, “One day, you will die. Get moving!” and actual human skeletons, Jillette’s home is truly one-of-a-kind. The centerpiece is a giant, pink, four-armed praying mantis in a leather collar called “The Atheistic Buddha of Vegas.”

8 Christie Brinkley

Christie Brinkley’s home feels like a catalog of human culture crammed into one space. Her living room is an explosion of wall accents and decorations, stacked upon each other with no cohesive theme.

Guitars mingle with seashells, white columns, cheetah print, Victorian tintypes, and Chinese lanterns. It’s a lot to take in, and not in a good way. It’s as if she was tasked with showing an alien race all of human culture in one room.

7 Dale Earnhardt Jr.

NASCAR driver Dale Earnhardt Jr. created a custom 1800s Wild West town as an extension of his home. Named “Whiskey River,” it includes a chapel, saloon, outhouse, mercantile, and sheriff’s office.

While the idea is intriguing, the execution is lacking. Some buildings have authentic interiors, while others, like the saloon, hide modern recreation spaces. The outhouse is just an empty shell. It feels like a half-realized dream, missing the attention to detail needed to truly bring the fantasy to life.

6 Bella Thorne

Bella Thorne’s home is bright, loud, and chaotic, perfectly matching her reputation. It’s an assault on the senses, with a design that’s hard to describe.

Imagine Ke$ha eating a box of Fruit Roll-Ups and then redecorating an apartment. It’s like the Red Light District designed by Basquiat’s ghost or Andy Warhol designing a house at gunpoint using only vape smoke. It’s a vibrant, overwhelming space that truly captures Thorne’s unique personality.

5 Robert Downey Jr.

Robert and Susan Downey’s Windmill House features a built-in windmill and an interior that’s almost tasteful but always falls short. Each room teases with the potential for elegance, only to veer off into clashing elements.

The living room, with its drab olive-green fireplace, lilac and gold clay mural of fish, a Shel Silverstein-esque painting of a child collecting severed heads, and a 70s-comic-book-style painting of a gun-toting soldier, is the perfect example. It’s chaotic and distracting, hardly conducive to Susan’s meditation sessions.

4 Dr. Phil’s Son

Jordan McGraw, Dr. Phil’s son, has a home that can only be described as bizarre. The foyer features railings covered in snaking tentacles over a mini-bar that blends Santorini with Satan.

With glittering-gold wallpaper, suede everything, a wall-sized art piece of melting guns, a bronze Mickey Mouse statue, intentional paint splatters on the floor, and cutesy bear figures throughout, the house creates an unsettling impression. It’s a wild mix of styles that leaves you wondering about the design choices.

3 Jojo Siwa

Teenage YouTuber Jojo Siwa’s home is a candy-coated fantasy land. Located somewhere between the Lollipop Woods and Licorice Lagoon, the neon and candy-printed walls enclose a treasure trove of childhood dreams.

A life-size, rainbow-maned unicorn, a complete concession stand, a working claw game, candy buffets, and glittering mannequins create a whimsical and over-the-top atmosphere. It’s a sugar rush come to life, reflecting Siwa’s vibrant personality.

2 Donald Trump

Regardless of your political views, Donald Trump’s design sense is undeniably… unique. Words like “accent,” “nuance,” and “minimal” don’t seem to exist in his vocabulary. His residence in Trump Tower exemplifies this.

Where most would use gold trim sparingly, Trump goes all-in with gold everything, including the accents, designs, and even the lighting. Modeled after the Palace of Versailles, the result is less refined elegance and more an overwhelming canvas covered in a hardened mound of monochromatic paint.

1 Oprah

Oprah’s former home in Telluride, Colorado, seems too elegant for this list at first glance. The stonework mansion with its courtyard and treetop walkways exudes sophistication, and most of the rooms are minimalist and coordinated.

But then there’s the Wine Mine. A wine cellar built to look like an authentic ore mine, complete with natural stone walls, timber supports, flickering lights mimicking old lanterns, and mining ambiance. The best part? An actual working mining cart that Oprah can ride through the cellar. It’s a bizarre addition that suggests a momentary possession by the ghost of an old-timey prospector.

These celebrity homes prove that money can’t always buy taste. From over-the-top themes to chaotic decorative choices, these interiors leave us wondering what these famous individuals were thinking. It’s a reminder that when it comes to design, sometimes less is more!
