andra Bullock's Real Estate Empire Revealed

    Behind the scenes of her latest film, Practical Magic 2 with Nicole Kidman, Sandra Bullock has been quietly building one of Hollywood's most impressive real estate portfolios. With a net worth estimated at around $250 million, she has invested heavily in properties across the country, transforming her rom-com paychecks into a high-end collection of private compounds, historic estates, and under-the-radar investments.

    Bullock's love for design and architecture led her to invest in real estate as a way to secure her financial future. "Since being an actress was not something I thought I would be allowed to do past a certain time, every penny I made I would invest into real estate," she told Architectural Digest in 2023.

    Her portfolio comprises at least 17 properties, including a massive spread in Beverly Hills, two beachfront houses in Malibu, a Gothic Victorian in New Orleans, a historic townhouse in Manhattan's Soho neighborhood, and a multi-property stronghold in Austin. Here are some of the most notable homes that make up her real estate empire.

    New York City: Bullock purchased a charming red brick Federal-style townhouse in Manhattan's Soho neighborhood for $3.35 million in 2000. The circa-1830s brownstone has lived many lives, including as a genteel boarding house and a raucous rooming house. She has kept the property under wraps since purchasing it.

    Austin: Bullock didn't just fall for Austin; she went all in on real estate investments throughout the Texas capital. Her portfolio includes residential hideaways in affluent areas, commercial buildings on buzzy streets, and even a yoga studio. One of her most unexpected holdings is Walton's Fancy & Staple, a historic 1800s brick building turned into a charming bakery, café, florist, and general store.

    New Orleans: In 2009, Bullock dropped $2.25 million on a circa 1876 Gothic Victorian stunner in the historic Garden District of New Orleans. The three-story mansion features Swiss chalet-style architecture, hand-carved gingerbread trim, soaring finials, and dramatic wrought-iron detailing. Her ties to New Orleans go beyond real estate; she adopted her son from the city in 2010.

    Beverly Hills: After her split from ex-husband Jesse James in 2010, Bullock made a real estate power move by purchasing a legendary $16.2 million estate that had previously been owned by Marlo Thomas and David Geffen. The stately 8,100-square-foot traditional home sits on over four acres and features sweeping city-to-ocean views, a paneled formal dining room, and a pool area that screams classic Hollywood.

    Malibu: In 2018, Bullock scooped up a dreamy $8.5 million stilted contemporary beach house in the ultra-exclusive Malibu Cove Colony. Two years later, she shelled out $5.3 million for a second beachfront residence, a charming mint-green cottage with exposed beam ceilings and a private courtyard with direct beach access.
