BlogFebruary is a short month, so in honor of the 28 days that count as a month, let’s take a look at some celebrities that haven’t let their short stature keep them from reaching great heights!
Tom Cruise
Tom Cruise is one of Hollywood’s leading actors, and has even been People magazine’s sexiest man! He’s lived all over the world, and had properties from London to Aspen, but as he’s become more committed to his religion, Scientology, he has chosen to live closer to an important Scientology center.
The Clearwater, Florida, residence is a penthouse in a gorgeous, luxury building. It’s reported that Tom’s unit has a nine-car garage, vaulted ceilings, an infinity pool, and more. Before he moved in mid-2021, he had it customized to meet his specifications for privacy, including 100 security camera, film covering every window, and more.
Bruno Mars
Bruno Mars might be pint-sized, but he can belt out big tunes, and he’s one of the biggest successes in all of music. The 5’5″ musician, producer, and dancer has even performed on some of the world’s biggest entertainment venues, including the Super Bowl!
Bruno lives with his longtime girlfriend Jessica Caban in a Los Angeles mansion that he bought in 2014 for $6.5 million. George Clooney lives in the neighborhood. The house has a wine cellar, an entire wing for kids, and massive family room. The two-acre estate has an infinity pool, sauna, steam baths, pool house, and a landscaped playground.
Daniel Radcliffe
Daniel Radcliffe played a larger than life character who grew up on the big screen. And even though the Harry Potter star topped out at 5’5″, his career has been larger than life. With a net worth of more than $110 million, he could probably care less about how tall he he.
Daniel, who was born in Great Britain, spends much of his time in New York City. He loves starring in roles on Broadway, so it’s a perfect place for the international actor. He bought an upscale townhouse for $6.4 million. The red brick home has more than 3,000 square feet, five bedrooms, a garden, and more. He bought the house when he was 20 years old, but has kept the home as one of his primary residences ever since.
Ariana Grande
Ariana Grande’s name may mean big, but it sure doesn’t refer to her size. Barely topping out at 5’1″, her short stature hasn’t held her back, as she’s one of the most successful music artists right now. She’s not even 30, and she’s worth more than $200 million!
Since rising to fame, she’s rented and owned a dozen high-end properties. In 2021, she sold a mega-mansion for $14 million and bought a smaller home in the same neighborhood for a meager $9 million. Rumors were that she was going to tear down the house, but she and her husband have instead renovated it and made it home. The smaller home offers more privacy and opportunity for the couple to relax away from the media and prying eyes.
Lil Kim
Lil Kim has one of the biggest celebrity personalities, and that’s what made the petite rapper a star. Rising from the streets of Brooklyn, Lil Kim was one of the first female rappers, assisted by the Notorious B.I.G. in the 1990s. Throughout her career, she’s earned media attention both for her talent, and her knack for getting involved in feuds and disputes among the rap scene’s different groups.
Lil Kim has also had a lot of ups and downs in her personal life. She owns a gorgeous mansion in Alpine, New Jersey, but almost lost the home in bankruptcy in 2018. After working things out with the court and with creditors, she was able to keep the $3 million home. The gorgeous white home has a modern design, and a landscaped property, complete with a tennis court.
Anna Kendrick
Anna Kendrick has become a Hollywood celebrity portraying the “girl next door”, and likes to keep her personal life low-key and casual in the same way. The tiny actress and singer has a big voice, which rocketed her to fame in her early teens, earning a Tony nomination when she was just 12!
She keeps her private life private, but we do know that the 5’2″ actress lives in Los Angeles, in a home she bought way back in 2012. She paid just over $1 million for the three bedroom cottage, which while on the smaller side for a Hollywood celeb, is just right for the petite star.
It’s nice to know that while celebrities may “have it all” they are still “just like us” and come in all shapes and sizes. Or at least short and tall.
