Will Smith was once The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, but these days, he is the king of California. After all that he and his wife Jada Pinkett-Smith have been through all these years (great times and perhaps family counseling sessions, too?), the couple had chosen a vast and spectacular California mansion that they purchased for $42 million.
Their first property on the idyllic isle in 2009 was a lavish oceanfront home spread across seven acres. The deal made them a tidy profit, fetching $20 million (£16.7m) when it went up for sale in 2011; $6.5 million (£4.5m) more than they paid for it.

Meanwhile, their second tropical retreat, purchased in 2015, included four residences, a tennis court, a 50-foot swimming pool and a private access trail to the beach. The couple later sold the compound in 2017 for $12 million (£10m).
But mansions aren’t the full extent of the actor’s property empire...
Will's custom RV
Will Smith's custom RV, known as 'The Heat', has a $25,000 bathroom. Image: HGTVWill Smith reportedly commissioned a lavish motorhome worth $2.5 million (£2m) – a wise choice for a man who spends so much time on location. Nicknamed 'The Heat', he used the two-storey land yacht while filming Men in Black III, Ali and The Pursuit of Happiness.

The seriously slick RV sits on 22 wheels, 1,200 square feet of accommodation, 14 TV screens, a 30-person cinema, 360-degree video surveillance, a dressing room and $30,000 (£25k) worth of leather!
The Calabasas estate
However, the place that Will, Jada and the family call 'home sweet home' is in the glitzy LA county neighbourhood of Calabasas.
Their most extravagant investment to date, the sprawling $42-million (£35m) property offers a vast 25,000 square feet of living space, including nine bedrooms, a home theatre, an eight-car garage and an outdoor pool.

The custom-built home isn't short on luxury leisure facilities, with on-site basketball, tennis and volleyball courts, plus a sunken trampoline. Despite the opulent amenities, Will told Architectural Digest that his favourite spot is the peaceful gazebo at the heart of the estate's secluded lake.
Let's take a look and see why the Fresh Prince really is the king of his own castle...
Will Smith's house has its own ZIP code
That’s right – if you own this amount of land then it’s only natural that you should have your own ZIP code. Well, how else will people know you’re rich?
