Sir Elton John is known for his love of maximalism, and that extends to real estate. The Rocket Man singer, who recently wowed the Glastonbury crowd with what has been billed as his last-ever UK concert, has several properties around the world.

The residences include two neighbouring mansions worth over $15 million in Beverly Hills, and a holiday home in the south of France that has hosted everyone from the Beckhams to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

Take a look inside Sir Elton's impressive property portfolio…

Sir Elton John's lavish Windsor home

The musician bought his Windsor estate, Woodside, for £400,000 following the success of his Goodbye Yellow Brick Road album. Sir Elton has opted for traditional décor throughout the home, after carrying out extensive renovations of the "kitsch" property in the 1980s.

"When I came out of rehab ten years ago, I realised that life is so much more beautiful than my house reflected. I wanted a normal life, a traditional country house, and Andrew Protheroe and Adrian Cooper-Grigg created that for me at Woodside," Sir Elton told Architectural Digest.

The musician's Holland Park mansion

Like many celebrities, including the Beckhams and Simon Cowell, Sir Elton John chose Holland Park as the location for his London home. In 2003, he sold off many of the contents from the home -  including historic paintings and furniture - at auction, so he could redecorate.

In 2012, the couple bought the first of their homes when they purchased a 5,000-square-foot property with a swimming pool, expansive garden, and a cinema room. They also snapped up their neighbour's mansion for $ 8.5 million in 2021. It has five bedrooms, four bathrooms and two swimming pools, so makes an incredible compound combined with their home next door.
