Eva Mendes | $1.27 Million | Hollywood Hills, California
Eva Mendes became a household name in the early 2000s with standout roles in movies like “Training Day,” “2 Fast 2 Furious,” “Hitch,” and “Ghost Rider.” Despite stepping back from recent film and television projects, she has smartly leveraged her earnings from her acting career. Mendes has collaborated with major brands such as Calvin Klein, Cartier, Reebok, and Pantene, channeling her income into real estate investments.
Eva Mendes acquired her inaugural Hollywood Hills home in 2002 for a modest $584,000. This charming mid-century abode boasts three bedrooms and two bathrooms, complemented by a cedar hot tub, an inviting living area, and an open floor plan that bathes the space in natural light. Constructed in 1953, the 1,732-square-foot residence exudes a tropical ambiance, nestled within a beautiful garden setting complete with suspended vegetable planters and an outdoor shower. When Mendes sold the property in 2014 for $1.27 million, the profit margin clearly indicated a savvy investment decision.
