When it comes to TV dream homes, it’s easy to get envious of the stunning apartments, houses, and even mansions characters call home. But while these settings may seem like the epitome of luxury, we’re often left wondering how the characters can afford them . The answer typically requires us to suspend disbelief for the sake of the plot.
So let’s ask the next logical question: Could the actors who lived in these iconic spaces actually afford them in real life? From the Peaky Blinders mansion to the chic penthouse in Gossip Girl , we’re taking a closer look at five of the most famous TV residences to see if the actors’ net worths would realistically align with the high cost of living in these dream homes. Cillian Murphy and the ‘Peaky Blinders’ mansion At the peak (no pun intended) of his power and influence, Thomas Shelby (Cillian Murphy) sets up his family at Arrow House in Warwickshire, England. The gangster’s home with wife Grace is actually Arley Hall and Gardens in Northwich, Cheshire.
The mansion boasts eight bedrooms and eight bathrooms. With an estimated value of $5.4 million, affording Arrow House requires a net worth of just over $5 million.
That makes it an easy buy for Peaky Blinders star Cillian Murphy. The Irish actor’s net worth is an estimated $20 million thanks in part to his role in the period crime saga. Murphy and his family currently live in Dublin, Ireland after spending 15 years in London.
