TikTok video reveals where stars such as Rihanna lived before they found fame

A TikTok video from 2020 highlighted the incredible difference between the homes celebrities (including Rihanna and Ariana Grande) lived in before and after they found fame – much to the continued shock of social media users. @ CatherineTheCrazy shared the once-viral clip comparing the different properties online, captioned: ‘Celebrity homes before and after fame.’ The upgrades made by the starlets are remarkable, from swapping modest homes to enormous modern mansions with stunning pools and even a private airport. Here, we look back some of the most shocking upgrades. Click through to see them all. 

One of the most incredible transformations from childhood home to adult mansion comes from Eminem, who swapped his one-bathroom Detroit house (left) for a mega-home in Rochester Hills, which he sold in 2017 (right).

The 44-year-old rapper put the six-acre home up for sale for $1.9million several years ago – despite originally buying it for $4.8million.

The Cleaning Out My Closet singer’s stunning five-bedroom property boasted a waterfall pool with a twisting slide, a spa and an ‘entertainment cabana’.

Other highlights of the home built in 1986 included two-story, 1,500-square-foot entertainment room, eight bathrooms and a three-car garage.

Singer Rihanna’s transformation was striking, after the singer and designer swapped her small bungalow (left) for a huge $6.8 million mansion in Los Angeles, which boasts six bedrooms and eight bathrooms over 7,130sq ft (right).

In 2019, Rihanna rented out her incredible Los Angeles mansion for a staggering $35,000 per month after failing to sell it for $7.5 million.

The Barbadian had a taste for luxury on show in its six bedrooms and eight bathrooms over a spacious 7,130 square feet of living space.

The living room definitely appeared to be a place for the songstress to unwind after a long day at work, with a luxurious rug, plush couches, a fireplace, as well as a piano to entertain any of her musical needs.

A before and after fame comparison was also shared for Singer Ariana Grande, whose childhood home featured a pool (left), but was much smaller than what she’s now become accustomed to.

Grande’s former $13.7 million home (she’s since moved to Montecito) afforded the then 26-year-old pop princess panoramic views of Los Angeles.

It also came with a wellness room, a 300-bottle wine cellar and a fitness studio.

The incredible home also featured an insane infinity-edge swimming pool outback along with spectacular views.
