Like most women my wife likes to dream about how life would be if we had a lot of money.

She loves looking at real estate magazines that feature houses that are well out of reach of most people. I'm forced to look at pictures of kitchens that are bigger than our house, as she oohs and aahs over marble countertops and triple-wide, built in refrigerators.

Needless to say, celebrity houses are the cream of the crop, whether they are brand new, custom built, or historic, but meticulously maintained, old mansions such as the one shown here.

This is George Clooney's place, which overlooks Lake Como in Italy, and that's a pad my wife would love to call home, preferably with Clooney still in residence, I assume.

I don't know what the big deal is. OK so he's better looking than me, about a third younger, has a paying job, won an Oscar, and is rich.

I doubt he can entertain her with as wide a variety of after dinner belches as me though.

Even celebrities are impressed with the houses of other celebrities, and sometimes house hop, as reported by "ABC News".

Anyway, if you are in the market for an extravagant piece of real estate here's a website with plenty of links to the home of your dreams.

If you just want to try out a celebrity house, before spending your last 20 million on one, then check out this place for celebrity house rentals.
