Inside the homes of Oscars best picture stars Margot Robbie and Leonardo Di Caprio

They might not have a gold statuette to take home after this year’s Academy Awards but Margot Robbie and Leonardo Di Caprio will be able to take some comfort in their luxurious surroundings when they get there.

Take a look inside their homes for a look at how the other half live.

Margot Robbie

Margo Robbie’s Barbie scored eight nominations in this year’s Oscar awards.

However, as the film’s Australia-born lead star and producer, she was controversially snubbed in the best actress category at this year’s awards while her co-star Ryan Gosling earned a nod in the best supporting actor category for his role as Ken.

Although she was overlooked for the best actress gong, the former Neighbours star is arguably one of the biggest names to emerge in Hollywood in recent years.

From her early years growing up in Queensland, the 33-year-old has come a long way and her rapid rise to success has led her to climb her way up the property ladder.

Robbie and her husband, film producer Tom Ackerley, have bought and renovated three homes in recent years.

The couple’s foray into the property market began in 2017 when they acquired a home in one of the ritziest suburbs of Los Angeles in Hancock Park.

They secured the property just one month after tying the knot in a secret wedding ceremony in Byron Bay.

The four-bedroom, six-bathroom house, which spans 306 square metres, occupied just over an acre of land surrounded by lush gardens.

It was built just one year before the couple snapped it up after falling in love with the home’s West Coast and New England-influenced interiors.

Features included high ceilings, oak hardwood floors, French doors, Carrera marble benchtops in the kitchen, a wine cellar, a fireplace and ocean views from the master bedroom.

Outside provided the ultimate space to entertain with a swimming pool, bar and cabana.

The house was listed for sale in 2021 for US$3.4 million.

Robbie did not venture too far to find her next property purchase.

In 2018, she paid US $950,000 for a two-bedroom, one-bathroom bungalow in the Hollywood Hills.

Built in 1951, the modest 84 square metre bungalow was ripe for renovation when the couple secured the property for $950,000.

The renovation included refreshing the hardwood floors, updating the kitchen and adding a fresh coat of paint inside and out.

The home featured French doors leading out to a courtyard, and additional French doors in the living area that filled the home with natural light.

A terrace provided a view across the surrounding canyon behind the home.

The actress reportedly earned herself a decent profit when sold the property in 2021 for US$2.1 million.

Robbie’s next project took her closer to the coast at Venice Beach.

In 2019, The Wolf of Wall Street star dropped US$5 million on a luxury compound in an off-market sale.

The ultra-modern home comprised three separate concrete structures on a double block, with a loft space, a bungalow and a cottage.

Inside is filled with natural light, white walls, high exposed wood ceilings, and timber flooring.

Other features included an outdoor deck with enough space for a huge table to entertain guests, and a lap pool.

In 2021, TMZ reported Robbie had undertaken major renovations to the home which would push the property’s value to more than US$15 million.

Leonardo Di Caprio

Like Robbie, Leonardo DiCaprio was overlooked for his acting chops in Killers of the Flower Moon at the 2024 Oscars.

The one-time Academy Award best actor winner failed to receive a nod for his portrayal of Ernest Burkhart in Martin Scorsese’s film however, it did fetch 10 nominations, including best director, best picture and best actress for Lily Gladstone.

Di Caprio’s acting career began at the age of five and in the years since, the Titanic star has amassed a net worth of $300 million.

Not surprisingly, Di Caprio calls Los Angeles home and he has bought and sold a long list of property in the star-studded city over the years.

Shortly after rising to fame, Di Caprio splashed out on a sprawling estate in the Hollywood Hills.

The compound was formed from two neighbouring properties, one of which he purchased from Madonna in the 1990s for US$2 million.

In the decades since, Di Caprio has renovated and extended the property and added his own touches with the construction of a basketball court on the grounds.

He bought the neighbouring property in 2022 in an off-market deal for US$10.5 million.

Built in 1963, the four-bedroom home spanned 3,527 square feet of living space.

In 2018, Di Caprio snapped up a historic home in the Los Angeles neighbourhood of Los Feliz from electronic musician, Moby.

He paid US $4.9 million for the Tudor-style home which dated back to 1926.

Known as Red Oak Manor, the home had many period features and spanned a huge floorplan with five bedrooms and eight bathrooms.

It even had its own yoga studio.

Outside featured multiple patios and a private garden with a swimming pool and spa.

However, the purchase was short-lived after the actor sold the home in 2022 for US $4.9 million.

Also in LA, Di Caprio is the owner of a Spanish Colonial-style mansion

The What’s Eating Gilbert Grape? actor doesn’t live in the home though — it was gifted to his mother, Irmelin.

The historic home, which dates back to 1928, was purchased in 2021 for US$7.1 million from Modern Family actor Jesse Tyler Ferguson.

The Spanish influence is evident throughout the home including the entry foyer with its original terracotta floor, stone block walls and stencilled ceiling.

Other features include a meditation and yoga room, an observation deck, a swimming pool, a hot tub and a sauna.

The home has been owned by a handful of celebrities over the years including Twilight star Robert Pattinson and Gwen Stefani.

Di Caprio’s property portfolio extended to the celebrity hotspot of Malibu where he snapped up a beach house more than 20 years ago.

He paid US$1.8 million for the home in 1998 and held on to it for decades before selling the property off in 2021 for US$10.3 million.

The 1950s beach house was much loved by the star who undertook major renovations to the property.

Boasting a prime position on Carbon Beach, the mid-century home had unobstructed ocean views from almost every room.

The home spanned three bedrooms (including the master with its own balcony), two bathrooms, a living room with a beamed ceiling, a galley kitchen and a dining area.

Outside provided the ultimate place to party with a jacuzzi on the deck along with outdoor seating and steps leading directly to the sand.

The sale didn’t mark the end of his time in Malibu.

In 2021, Di Caprio spent US $13.8 million on a luxury beachfront home with four bedrooms and five bathrooms.

Nothing screams superstar more than owning a private island.

Di Caprio indulged in securing his very own slice of paradise in 2005 when he paid US$1.4 million for Blackadore Caye.

The 104-acre island sits off the coast of Belize.

Di Caprio planned to create a luxury eco-resort that would provide “restoration” both for the well-off individuals able to afford a stay in it and to the location itself, both the island and the environment around it.

However, the resort was still yet to open almost two decades later.

The actor is well-known to frequent nightclubs in New York City so it comes as no surprise that he has a base in the Big Apple.

Di Caprio snapped up two side-by-side apartments in Manhattan, paying US$3.7 million for the first one in 2008 and then US $8 million for the second in 2014.

The complex, Riverhouse at One Rockefeller Park, is eco-friendly, making it the perfect residence for Di Caprio who is well-known for his environmental activism.

The apartments overlook Battery Park and include a 50-foot lap pool and a yoga studio.

From New York to Palm Springs, Di Caprio also has a retreat in the California desert which he snapped up in 2014 for $US 5.2 million.

The mid-century modern home was designed by renowned architect Donald Wexler and built for American singer Dinah Shore in 1964.

Inside is an interior design lovers dream, with six bedrooms and seven bathrooms, and light-filled living spaces that wrap around the garden.

True to the era of the home, every room has elegant mid-century furniture and features such as stone walls and wood-panelled ceilings.

Di Caprio also offers the home for rent.

However, a stay in the impressive home will set you back a pretty penny at a cost of US $3750 per night.
