A look at the opulent mansions of the rich and famous

Mesut Özil | $13.7 Million | North London, England

Mesut Özil, the super-talented German footballer, currently plays as an attacking midfielder for Turkish club Fenerbahçe. His career kicked off in Germany with Schalke 04 before he moved to Werder Bremen in 2008. Then, in 2010, he made the move to Real Madrid, where he helped them clinch the league title and consistently topped the assists charts for multiple seasons.

In 2013, Özil joined Arsenal and snapped up a gaff in North London worth around $13 million – it previously cost about £10 million. The detached house boasts six swanky bedrooms, with a design nodding to the player’s Turkish heritage, including marble in the living room sourced directly from Turkey. A mate who’s an interior designer kitted out the property.
