A film career buys options, and what people do with those options says more than any red carpet appearance. Some picked cliff tops and private runways. Others picked a farmhouse an hour from anywhere. Here is where the money actually went.
Whoopi Goldberg Settled In A Gated Corner Of New Jersey
Whoopi Goldberg has spent more than three decades in entertainment as an actor, comedian and author, and she is one of the few people to have won an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar and a Tony. Her home reflects none of the flash that record might suggest. The View co-host lives in a Georgian Colonial style property in West Orange, New Jersey, inside a gated enclave of several hundred acres with round the clock security and a large private park. The house runs to roughly 12,700 square feet. Choosing New Jersey over California was deliberate, keeping her within reach of the New York studio without living in the middle of the industry.
