Long before she brought Glinda to life in last year's blockbuster Wicked adaptation—earning critical acclaim and proving her theatrical chops on the biggest stage—Ariana Grande was a theater-loving teenager from Boca Raton, Florida, performing in local productions and dreaming of Broadway. However, by 2018, with multiple Grammy nominations and chart-topping albums under her belt, the ponytailed powerhouse was ready to put down more permanent roots, essentially embarking on a property-buying spree. From a futuristic Manhattan apartment to a historic English barn turned Montecito mansion—and even a year-long London rental while filming Wicked at Sky Studios Elstree—Grande has built a real estate empire as impressive as her octave-spanning vocals.
