John Cleese – $8.25 Million, Montecito
From Monty Python’s Flying Circus to Fawlty Towers, John Cleese is a legend of British television with his creative and revolutionary comedic concepts. He also invaded Hollywood with star turns in films like A Fish Called Wanda and its sequel, Fierce Creatures. He had at least one serious role in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein.
His success allowed him to amass assets, this beachfront Montecito house included. The 3,942-square-foot home sits in a private cove that has a thousand-bottle wine cellar, a fireplace in the living room, and ocean views for days. Cleese has a role in an upcoming film called The Martini Shot.
