Stars, they are so not just like us — especially when it comes to buying homes. Case in point: Jared Leto [1]'s newly purchased $5 million military compound [2] located in Los Angeles. The Oscar winner recently purchased the historical Laurel Canyon compound containing eight bedrooms and 12 bathrooms, all adding up to a whopping 50,000 square feet. From the exteriors, the property looks more like a factory than a home, but inside the massive space, there are several galleries, a theater, and a soundstage. Oh, and don't forget the motorcourt and swimming pool that reside on the 1.4 acres of land. Keep reading to see what Jared's sprawling new home looks like.
