Cameron diaz

The pop music songstress paid the retired actress nearly $5 million for a renovated Hollywood Hills home, a quick jog to the Chateau Marmont.

For whatever reason, Diaz eventually changed her mind and the original house was never razed. Diaz acquired the house back in 2004, paying $1.8 million. Much of the property’s value is in the lot, which spans a full half-acre — though a significant chunk of that is steep, unusable hillside — and boasts panoramic views of city lights.
