Harry Potter trio turn property wizards

Rupert Grint may be the poorest of the three Harry Potter stars (who attended the world premiere of their latest film last week), worth a mere £20 million to Daniel Radcliffe’s £42 million and Emma Watson’s £22 million, but he owns almost as much property as Daniel. His £9.2 million portfolio includes two Hertfordshire mansions he shares with his parents and a central London flat he rarely visits. “Leave home? It’s quite a scary thought,” muses this son of a Formula 1 memorabilia dealer.

Literary agent’s son Daniel lives most of the time at his Fulham family home. But in New York he owns a five-bedroom 19th-century West Village brownstone, a fifth-floor SoHo rental apartment and a second apartment overlooking the Hudson, worth a total of £10 million.

Meanwhile, lawyer’s daughter Emma owns a £1 million-plus French ski chalet in Méribel and a £3 million Hampstead house for when she visits from Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, where she is a student.

Kelly Clarkson Lists Her Nashville Home

The Real Estalker alerted us to the fact that Kelly Clarkson, the first American Idol winner, is on the move. Clarkson has listed the Nashville home she bought in 2007 for $1.49 million. The Real Estalker covered this home in April 2008 so we can do a little compare and contrast with the listing pictures. It looks like, given the current very staged decor, Clarkson has already moved on but not before she changed some of the landscaping, added white plantation shutters, darkened the hardwood floors and went a little crazy with the paint selections. Practically every room is a different vivid color. Clarkson also upgraded the kitchen with green cabinets and new stainless steel appliances. Clarkson has listed the home for $1.449 million which means she will take a loss on the home.
