Diane Kruger, 9.75 million euro house in New York and 8.7 million euro villa in Beverly Hills

The Hollywood actress (“Troy”) and her partner Norman Reedus (“The Walking Dead”) have recently secured a second residence in New York’s elegant West Village. The charming brick house from 1835 extends over three floors with around 1100 square meters of living space. It offers a spacious garden, a cozy fireplace room, five bedrooms and a luxuriously equipped gourmet kitchen. The couple had previously purchased a magnificent property in Beverly Hills – a small castle with 800 square meters of living space, whose turrets are reminiscent of the fairytale castle Neuschwanstein and is aptly known in Hollywood as “The Castle”. In November 2018, the family became complete with the birth of their baby daughter.

Harald Schmidt, Biedermeier villa in Cologne

Even without his own talk show on television, the actor and cabaret artist remains a welcome guest in front of the camera. Since 2008, he has played the role of cruise director Oskar Schifferle on the “Traumschiff” – an absolute dream role, as he says himself. Schmidt originally wanted to become a priest, but today he prefers to stay away from the hustle and bustle of social media, which he simply finds “too exciting”. Together with his partner, Ellen Hantsch, a teacher, and their five children, he lives in a magnificent Wilhelminian-style villa in Cologne. There, surrounded by classical music, the Zen master of German humor often sits in his wing chair, knitting and creating subtle formulations for his newspaper columns.
