Ron Howard – Connecticut, $28 Million

Hollywood child star turned multi-awarded director Ron Howard was once the proud owner of this lavish $28 million home in Greenwich, Connecticut. Ron Howard is a household name thanks to his appearance on Happy Days.The film director said in an interview that he purchased the home for the sole purpose of raising his kids there. Who wouldn’t want to raise their children in this gorgeous 33-acre estate with a lake view?

The home, which has since been sold by Ron, has a total of six bedrooms and five baths, a two-bedroom guesthouse, and an indoor pool built within the 17,000 square feet mansion. Aside from the stunning lake that envelopes their backyard, the estate also has a private tennis court and a horse arena. Good thing the director has a hefty paycheck cause he would need a lot of cash to afford the home insurance on this piece of real estate.
