Irish Stars and Their Extravagant Homes

Ireland has produced some of the biggest stars in the world in many fields. Whether it is MMA, acting, football or acting. Ireland continues to grow and the stars continue to lead their respective field. When you have such talent, you will get paid a lot and what is the first thing that people buy when they get a big paycheck? A lovely home. So what homes do Irish stars have and what do they include?

Biggest Stars

When mentioning slime of Ireland’s most successful stars, we have to mention arguably the best jockey of all time and one of the best golf stars of all time Ruby Walsh and Rory Mcilroy. 

Starting with Ruby Walsh, one of the best jockeys of all time, with over 1900 wins and many majors that surround horsing. He was known for having a great relationship with his horse Kauto Star.

Rory Mcilroy is one of the best golfers of all time and has won countless big golfing events and become one of the most recognised men in the sport, it would not surprise us if his home came with a big golf course attached to it. As much as these two men have affected sport, we are unsure about their housing but we know they deserve to be mentioned among Irish stars.

Conor McGregor 

McGregor is one of the biggest sports stars in the world regardless of the sport. He is a household name and the most famous in his sport. His net worth is an estimated $600 million but he has said himself that he is closing on a billion. He is the world’s highest-paid athlete and recently made a film with Jake Gyllenhall, which is a massive paycheck. 

In 2019, McGregor bought a home for £3 Million. This home has five bedrooms, six bathrooms, a living room, a dining room, a games room and a kitchen. The property is on a massive bit of land and has a lot of things in the surrounding areas. McGregor bought the house and said he wanted to move the tennis court. Also, the home came with a car park and a gym. It also comes with horse riding facilities, which is probably a big plus for McGregor as he is known for being an avid horse racing fan and often betting on races, it probably won’t be too long until he has his own stable.

Roy Keane

Roy Keane is one of the most prolific and well-known footballers in Premier League history. He captained one of the best teams in football history and has had a great career since his retirement. Being a manager, a coach and a pundit, which he is probably most famous for, other than his playing career. 

With all these accolades and the attention he brings with his punditry, it is no secret that he will be making a good amount of money. With this money, it has been revealed that Roy Keane has bought an expensive home in one of Ireland’s most luxurious apartment developments. It is rumoured that the apartment could be worth around £5 million and is very near the Aviva Stadium meaning when he goes to watch the rugby, he won’t need to travel far for his next match. 

Other Stars

With McGregor and Keane having open property information it is easier to write about those stars. Ireland is filled with stars who make a lot of money every year for films, sports etc. And most of these celebrities are private with this information. 

One star like this is Katie Taylor, she is known as one of the best female boxers of all time. Taylor’s information for housing has been lightly mentioned but she is private with her housing arrangements. With how much money is in boxing though, we can only assume how lovely her home is.

Ireland will continue to grow and areas will change over time, we can see more and more celebs coming to buy homes around the beautiful rural areas of Ireland. Especially with properties like Millionaires Row in Northern Ireland getting a lot of attention, we could see a whole host of names buying properties there.
