How long would it take you to save enough money to buy some of the world’s biggest celebrities’ homes? 

It’s not really a ‘news’ story but it is a Friday in the silly season and this is a harmless bit of fun – even if EYE has not heard of about half the people in the lists.

Money.co.uk has set up an online calculator that determines how many years it would take you to own some of the most famous celeb homes based on saving 25% of your salary per year.
With the current average salary for full-time workers in the UK standing at £31,461 a year, the calculator shows how many years it would take the average UK worker to afford their favourite celebrity’s home:
  • Beyonce & Jay-Z – It would take the average UK employee 8,072 years to save for Beyonce & Jay-Z’s £63 million dollar home. The world’s biggest power couple are worth over a billion dollars, so it stands to reason that Beyoncé & Jay-Z live in a suitably lavish Bel Air mansion.

  • Kim Kardashian – The average UK worker would be able to afford self-made billionaire Kim K’s £43 million home in 5,504 years.

  • Kylie Jenner – Kylie’s Holmby Hills home is estimated to be worth £26.3 million and would take the average Brit 3,348 years to be able to afford.

  • Justin Bieber – The Beverly Hills marital home of Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin set the couple back $25.8 million and would take the standard Briton 2,367 years to buy.

  • Harry Styles – Harry owns three houses on the same private street next to Hampstead Heath in London, worth a combined total of £15 million. It would take the average person in the UK 1,907 years to be able to afford his three homes.
