8 Celebrities You Won't Believe Made Major Money on Real Estate

Property: A five-bedroom, six-and-a-half-bathroom Mediterranean home built in 1926, sitting on a coveted one-acre plot in the posh LA neighborhood of Bel Air.

Story: Since retiring from the NFL, Michael has built a lucrative career on TV and scooped up some serious cash in real estate on the side. The Good Morning America host bought this Beverly Hills home for $7.9 million in May 2012. In June 2013, after doing nothing to the home, he turned around and sold it for $11 million in an off-market deal. Shockingly, the buyer likely bought the property for the land and tore down the house.

Profit: $3.1 million after 14 months.
