Celine Dion's million-dollar lifestyle: 6 extravagant purchases by Queen of Power Ballads
Celine Dion’s million-dollar lifestyle: A peek into her extravagant purchases
After being diagnosed with stiff-person syndrome, Celine Dion has focused on her health, undergoing therapy five days a week. The condition led her to take a four-year break, but she made a comeback at the 2024 Summer Olympics and is preparing for a new Vegas residency. Dion’s $550 million fortune has allowed her to enjoy luxuries and make generous purchases, including homes for family and herself. Her Vegas residencies, notably earning $400 million, have funded her extravagant tastes.
1. Celine Dion owned a golf course
Celine Dion and her late husband, René Angelil, bought Club de Golf Le Mirage in Terrebonne, Quebec, for around $15 million in the '90s. The golf course, featuring two 18-hole courses, was used for hosting large family events. Dion sold the property in 2020 but continues to enjoy golf, with a course beside her current $1.2 million home. The house, featured in the Prime Video documentary 'I Am: Celine Dion,' includes a grand piano, pool, basketball court, wrestling ring, and state-of-the-art game room for her kids.
2. Wings & wheels collection
Celine Dion traverses the globe in style, avoiding icebergs by flying in her $42 million Bombardier Global Express XRS private jet, purchased in 2021. The aircraft accommodates 14 passengers and includes beds and an in-flight theater, providing comfort for her family during trips. Dion's auto fleet has included luxury vehicles such as a Rolls Royce Corniche IV convertible and a $500,000 Maybach 62 equipped with a refrigerator. Her round-trip flight to the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris likely cost a similar amount.
3. Celine Dion built her own waterpark in her backyard
Dion's property portfolio once featured a titanic oceanfront mansion on Florida's Jupiter Island, which included a 10,000-square-foot home and a 5.7-acre mini-resort. The estate boasted a water park with a lazy river, rope bridges, twisting slides, and water cannons, along with a fire pit, swim-up bar, gazebo, and cabana used as a massage studio. Dion sold the property in 2017 for $28 million, although it initially listed for $72.5 million in 2013. When asked about adding a water park to her home on 'The Jonathan Ross Show,' Dion responded, "Some people do drugs and go out every weekend; I built a water park."
4. Celine Dion's shoe collection
Dion owns an extensive shoe collection, possibly around 10,000 pairs, organized by color with a computerized system. Her collection, akin to Cher's closet from 'Clueless', features footwear from various designers, including $750 mismatched Jimmy Choos, $1,537 Prada Monolith boots, and $1,160 Maison Margiela sneakers. She showcased her love for shoes in a 2019 'Carpool Karaoke' segment and 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show.'
5. Celine Dion's wardrobe includes Chanel, Dior, and Versace pieces
Dion's wardrobe includes high-end pieces from Chanel, Dior, Versace, and more. She spends lavishly on outfits, such as a $26,250 all-Balmain ensemble in Paris. Having grown up with hand-me-downs, Dion now buys and keeps most of her designer clothing, rarely re-wearing them. She prefers to own her outfits rather than borrow, ensuring she retains her stylish collections.
6. Investment in Pure Nightclub
Celine Dion's involvement in Pure Nightclub, a high-profile club in Las Vegas, was one of her ventures into the nightlife scene. Along with Dion, other celebrities such as Shaquille O'Neal and Andre Agassi invested in the club. Despite their star power and attempts to rejuvenate the venue, Pure Nightclub couldn't sustain its success. Even though the nightclub faced difficulties, Dion made the most of her investment by hosting and attending various events at the club. She used the space for runway shows and other glamorous gatherings, which allowed her to enjoy the spotlight and engage with the nightlife scene.
