Go ahead – try to listen to an Elton John song without bouncing around in your chair and singing all the words by heart. I dare you. If you find it nearly impossible not to jam along to his music, you’re not alone. He may be a singer, songwriter, pianist, and composer, but his undeniable stage presence and unmistakable sound solidified Elton John as a rock star. Having sold over 300 million records, the musical maven has consistently topped the charts since his debut in the 1960s. With a hefty net worth and a penchant for the fabulous life, it’s clear to see why Elton enjoys jet-setting all over the world to spend time at his various homes. From London to Beverly Hills to France and beyond, Elton John houses are always extraordinary.

Where Does Elton John Live?

Elton John has numerous homes located all over the world. When he’s in the States, Elton enjoys spending time at his estate in Los Angeles and his luxury condo in Atlanta.

The 20-acre estate was acquired by John and his the-husband David Furnish after buying it from Guess co-founder Armand Marciano.

The main residence was constructed in 2001 and features three stories of luxury living space. Some noteworthy areas include the 2-story grand foyer, a massive living room with a fireplace, a formal dining, and a chef’s kitchen with double islands.

Upstairs, the master suite features a wall of glass that opens onto a private balcony with a stunning view of the grounds and city beyond. Nearby, the ensuite features a marble tub as well as a spacious glass shower.

Extra amenities include an 11-car garage, gym, game room, wine cellar, screening room, and even an elevator with access to all three floors.

Outside, you’ll also find a mosaic-tiled pool and a pool house complete with an indoor-outdoor kitchen and pizza oven. There’s even a hidden tennis court on the property (is there anything this place doesn’t have?!).
In March, 2022, Elton sold this stunning villa for $75 million!

Elton John House Los Angeles (Current)

If you’re looking for a house that truly screams that it belongs to Elton John, look no further. Elton’s Los Angeles home is everything you’ve ever dreamed of and more. With old school architecture mixed with a modern vibe, unabashed pops of color and ultra-swanky décor, this LA pad is about as Elton John-esque as it could possibly get!

The 1966 contemporary home located in the Trousdale Estates was purchased by Elton John and David Furnish in 2012 for a cool $7.2 million. The home offers 5,000 square feet of living space throughout a single story. One of the main draws for Elton and his beau was the home’s open floor plan with an open living and dining room. Always on a mission to entertain, the spacious design of the house would serve as a perfect spot to host dinner parties.

Perhaps the most dazzling aspect of Sir Elton John’s LA house is the astounding collection of art proudly displayed throughout the residence. There’s no doubt that his art collection takes center stage when it came to planning the design scheme of each room.

Snapshots from famed photographer David LaChapelle hang on the walls of the living room to complement the bold zebra print rug and pink lacquer coffee table. The nearby family room features a lime green couch perched next to neon artwork by Tracey Emin and flashy paintings by Keith Haring.

Even vintage Versace pieces can be found in the master bath. Each room seems like a unique and exciting art exhibit, with splashes of color expensive accouterments at every turn. For a change of pace, the outdoor space is a bit more serene.

The sleek pool and jacuzzi combo are a calming combination next to a classy backyard terrace filled with white lounge furniture. Elton’s Los Angeles house is simply extravagant in every way with its distinct style and one-of-a-kind flair.

Elton John Atlanta House (Current)

Elton John has the means to live anywhere in the world and owns many homes, but you may be surprised by some of the places he owns luxury living space. In addition to his multiple California estates, Elton also resides in Atlanta when he’s looking to spend time in the States. Citing his love of good old-fashioned “Southern hospitality,” Elton decided to move into a high-rise condominium in Atlanta.

The affluential Park Place building in which Elton resides was built in 1986. The 40-story structure is as exclusive as they come, with other famous residents such as Oprah Winfrey. Elton John inhabits an incredible six units on the 36th floor and an additional unit on the 37th floor.

There’s no doubt Elton has a stellar personal paradise when he’s laying low in Atlanta’s Buckhead neighborhood. The building offers terraces with scenic views, fireplaces, a 24-hour concierge, a swimming pool, sauna, and wine lockers among their long list of amenities.

In a 1993 feature in Architectural Digest, Elton John gave an in-depth tour of his home and shared his love of the phenomenal property. The star spared no expense when it came to customizing his 12,000 square feet of Southern living space, ensuring that his palatial pad oozed opulence from top to bottom.

With the help of a seasoned interior designer, Elton ensured that his living room was adorned in all white and that he had ample space to display his magnificent showpieces, including his ever-expanding art collection. The design of Elton’s Atlanta escape is all in the details – with ornate glass candelabras, 19th-century Russian stemware and collections of unique crystal sprinkled throughout the condo.

Perhaps the most impressive part of Elton’s Atlanta home is the former recording studio that has since been converted to a private gym and wet bar, where the walls are covered in an awe-inspiring collection of his gold albums. Elton John’s house in Atlanta is the perfect mix of his signature eclectic style paired with vintage elegance – and we wouldn’t want it any other way.

Elton John House Windsor (Current)

Being a native of England, it’s no surprise that Elton has a couple of homes in the UK. Elton actually has two homes in England: a house in Woodside, Old Windsor that he refers to as “the hub” and then an additional smaller house in Queensdale, London.

The star’s taste for décor varies in each of his homes. For his Windsor Estate, he describes it as “tastefully over the top”. For his London pad, Elton went with a European Villa aesthetic that is classic and refined.

He is committed to a vintage feel at Windsor, with beautiful 18th-century orangery at the end of the drive and a restriction on phones and television being used in the estate. The anything but humble Windsor castle has many rooms including a lavish library, a salon, and even a chapel.

The design for Elton’s London townhouse was inspired by the star’s friendship with the late Freddie Mercury. Elton acquired a taste for blond wood furniture after noticing how Mercury decked out his place in the same material. What may be surprising about Elton’s London home is that you won’t find a piano anywhere in sight.

The famed pianist may have baby grand pianos at his other homes, but he refuses to put one in his London base because he insists that it’ll never get used. It’s also worth noting that Elton’s Queensdale home is in the affluential Holland Park area of London, where many other celebrities live including Simon Cowell and Robbie Williams.

Elton John House Venice Italy (Rumored)

Elton John once said he owned “too many homes”…and he wasn’t kidding! In addition to his many estates all over the world, Elton also owns a piece of property in Venice, Italy.

According to reports, Elton purchased an apartment many years ago in a 17th-century palazzo on the island of Giudecca. Elton’s Italian apartment boasts three-stories in the same area where he and his former husband spent their honeymoon shortly after marrying in 2014.

His space is said to have great views of the water to San Marco, with several Gothic-style windows and a terrace to take in all the sights. The public hasn’t been privy to much information about the star’s living arrangements in Venice, other than he has been spotted in the area numerous times and it is well known that he occasionally lives in the district.

Important to note, we haven’t been able to independently confirm that this is indeed the home of Elton John, but numerous reports suggest it is.

Elton John Nice France House (Current)

You know you’re wealthy beyond belief when you refer to your villa in the French Riviera simply as a “summer house”. Elton John has owned real estate just south of Nice France since the 1990s.

His sunny yellow home was built in the 1920s as an artist’s colony before he enlisted the expert help of Fred Dilger and Monique Gibson to transform the interior to suit his flamboyant style.

Inside the lavish home, you’ll find an all-white color palette, with splashes of color exuding from the various vibrant art pieces hanging on the walls and propped up throughout the space. Floral arrangements nearly take over Sir Elton’s French villa, adding an extra pop of color and panache.

The home boasts incredible views of The Mediterranean to the Alps. There’s also exquisite landscaping that can’t be missed in the villa’s many scenic gardens. There’s no shortage of luxury property in Nice, but Elton’s estate is by far the largest.

It’s so massive that it can easily be seen from the Promenade des Anglais.  A long winding road adorned with trees and elegant greenery greet guests at the gated villa. Almost like something out of a movie, Elton John’s French home is just as Nice as the town it’s built in.

Elton John 1960’s

The 1960s were a pivotal point in time for Elton John. In 1967, things started falling into place for then 20-year-old Elton when he responded to an ad in New Musical Express looking for new musical talent.

The ad was placed by Ray Williams, the manager for Liberty Records. Upon meeting Elton, Williams gave him an envelope full of lyrics written by Bernie Taupin, a music hopeful who responded to the same ad. Their chance encounter would be the birth of an incredible partnership.

Elton’s melodies paired with Bernie’s lyrics went on to produce countless hits from “Bennie And The Jets” to “Candle In The Wind” and everything in between. In 1968 the duo joined DJM records as songwriters, often creating musical masterpieces in under two hours.

On October 27, 1969, Elton would write the song that changed his career and his entire life. “Your Song” was released on his self-titled album the following year. Hailed as one of the “greatest songs of all time” by Rolling Stone, the certified platinum track would be just the beginning of great things to come for Elton John as an artist.

Elton John’s Family

Elton John was born on March 25, 1947, to Stanley Dwight and Sheila Eileen. At birth, his given name was Reginald Kenneth Dwight. The eldest of five boys, his brothers are Geoff Dwight, Stan Dwight, Simon Dwight, and Robert Dwight.

Elton John Children

Elton John married former advertising executive David Furnish in 2014. Together, they share two children. On December 25, 2010, Elton John’s son, Zachary Jackson Levon Furnish-John, was born via surrogate. Then Elton John baby number two, Elijah Joseph Daniel Furnish-John, was born via the same surrogate on January 11, 2013.

In addition to his own brood, Elton also serves as a godfather to 10 children – most of which have very famous parents themselves. His most famous godchildren include Sean Lennon (son of John Lennon and Yoko Ono), Brooklyn and Romeo Beckham (sons of Victoria and David Beckham), and Damian Hurley (son of Elizabeth Hurley).

Elton John Awards

Sir Elton John has long been critically acclaimed for his many contributions to the music industry. He’s the proud recipient of numerous Grammy Awards, Brit Awards, Golden Globe Awards, Academy Awards, and a Tony Award.

How Many Grammy’s Does Elton John Have?

Elton John has had a well-decorated career with many accolades to show for his talent and hard work. When it comes to Grammy Awards, let’ just say that Elton John has plenty. In fact, Elton has earned 8 Grammy’s to be exact. He won his first Grammy in 1987 and has been raking in the awards ever since.

Elton John Eminem           

Of course, everyone loves Elton John and he’s always had a star-studded group of celebrity friends by his side. However, possibly one of the most perplexing bonds Elton shares is with rapper, Eminem. The unlikely duo forged a friendship in 2001 after coming together to perform Eminem’s hit, “Stan” at the Grammy’s.

At the time, Eminem was accused of being homophobic due to his brash lyrics, but Elton was quick to defend his pal.

As an openly gay man and icon, Elton John made a powerful statement by aligning with Eminem, especially given the amount of public backlash they received.

It has been many years since they first collaborated but love between Elton and Eminem still runs deep. Elton has only glowing remarks to say about Em, recently telling the press, “I just adore him” when asked about their friendship.
