Whether we're trying to figure out just how rich our rich and famous are, or trying to spot some cringeworthy decor to appeal to our sense of schadenfraude, celebrity homes always manage to catch our attention.

In the spirit of healthy voyeurism, this week's Friday trivia is devoted to the terrific, the tragic and the banal - celebrity homes.

Can you guess the famous past and present owners of these homes?

  1. Which famous ballerina is packing up her Vaucluse home after moving back to London?



  2. A particularly musical couple now owns this stand out Californian home.



  3. This Byron Bay hinterland home didn't sell when it was put on on the auction block earlier this year.


  4. A flaxen-haired celebrity couple haven't exactly aced the sale of their Palm Beach retreat.



  5. Another blonde listed this California estate last month - legally, of course.



  6. This Hope Island home was listed last month by Australia's Daytime TV Queen.



  7. A former Miss Universe paid $4 million for this view.



  8. Which Scorsese favourite and water pistol enthusiast owns this Palm Springs John Lautner home?



  9. An international couple with Australian roots flipped this Hollywood home earlier this year, making around US$15 million in the deal. There's no need for the money in the banana stand.



  10. A music star wasn't happy the initial $12 million asking price for his Miami penthouse, bumping up the price guidance earlier this year.

 The answers are on the next page.
