The Global Real Estate Portfolio of George and Amal Clooney
George and Amal Clooney’s global real estate portfolio is as impressive as their combined net worth, estimated at around $550 million. Their collection spans multiple continents, from the serene vineyards of France to the bustling streets of New York City, reflecting a diverse taste in luxury living.
The Heart of Italy: Lake Como
George first set his sights on Lake Como in the early 2000s, acquiring Villa Oleandra, an 18th-century residence. Depending on who you ask, he paid somewhere between $7 million and $10 million for this sprawling 25-room villa. Over the years, the Clooneys have expanded their Lake Como footprint by picking up adjacent properties, turning the estate into one of the largest private compounds on the lake—now topping 100,000 square feet.
The villa itself is a perfect mix of old-world charm and modern luxury.
It features an outdoor pool, tennis courts, a fully equipped gym, a home theater, a huge garage for George’s vintage motorcycles, and two boat docks. Its history is also rich; it’s where the couple first met when George brought Amal along on their way to Cannes.
The U.K.: Aberdash House
In 2014, George and Amal purchased Aberdash House in Sonning-on-Thames, a picturesque village on the River Thames. This 17th-century Georgian manor sits on a private island spanning 5.5 acres. The estate has been modernized with amenities like a gym, spa complex, and an entertainment room outfitted with invisible speakers.
Accessible by boat or a discreet wooden bridge hidden behind electronically monitored gates, the secluded property is designed for both leisure and entertaining.
The main house features 10 bedrooms, eight full bathrooms, and two half baths, along with Doric columns, mahogany parquet floors, and Georgian moldings. George has a “postwar study,” Amal enjoys a light-filled office with faux leather-bound research books, and the 16-seat screening room is a family favorite.
The City of New York
In October 2016, George and Amal purchased a midtown Manhattan condo at 100 East 53rd Street for $14.75 million. Perched on one of the highest floors of a 63-story building designed by Foster + Partners, the unit is said to span 3,385 square feet with three bedrooms and three-and-a-half bathrooms, loft-style ceilings, and expansive walls of windows. The location proves ideal for their work schedules, placing them near the United Nations and Columbia Law School.
During his Broadway run in Good Night, and Good Luck, George reportedly stayed in a fully furnished apartment at the Mandarin Oriental Residences, Fifth Avenue, featuring two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Amenities include a rooftop pool with cabanas, a spa, a Technogym-equipped fitness center, a salon and yoga studio, as well as private treatment rooms where residents can receive services from celebrity facialist Ivan Pol.
Provençal Life in France
The Clooneys made France their primary residence in 2021, purchasing Domaine du Canadel, an 18th-century Provence wine estate for €7 million ($8.3 million). Nestled in the village of Brignoles, this sprawling 425-acre property offers a 10,000-square-foot main house, olive groves, a lake, a boules pitch, a tennis court, and a pool. The farmhouse itself was extensively remodeled in 1993 by Bruno Lafourcade, preserving the estate’s original charm while modernizing it.
George has spoken candidly about raising their twins away from Hollywood’s glare, explaining to Esquire that life on a French farm offers a sense of normalcy and freedom from fame.
Since settling in, the Clooneys have fully embraced the Provençal lifestyle, turning part of their estate into a working vineyard. The property includes a 25-acre vineyard and an additional 10 acres of vines planted two decades ago by winemaker Laurence Berlemont. Together, they released their first white and rosé wines in spring 2024.
Kentucky Roots
Before he became Hollywood royalty, George was a Kentucky kid with small-town roots. The actor has long kept ties to his home state and maintains a residence near his parents, Nick and Nina Clooney, who still live in Augusta. Though the exact location of their Kentucky home remains private, George speaks fondly of returning to farm life.
In a February 2025 interview with the New York Times, he said, “Growing up in Kentucky, all I wanted to do was get away from a farm, get away from that life. Now I find myself back in that life. I drive a tractor and all those things.
It’s the best chance of a normal life.”
The property is believed to be close to the family’s longtime hometown along the Ohio River, where George spent his formative years and still occasionally visits. For the actor who has owned estates around the world—from Lake Como to Provence—Kentucky remains a reminder of where it all began.
