Perry made a fortune from his time playing Chandler Bing on the hit sitcom Friends, but he also made millions from a strong real estate portfolio.

Before her tragic death at the age of 54, the beloved star had downsized. She sold her estate for a total of $35 million in recent years and replaced it with more modest homes, although there is no indication she was in financial trouble.
Like many actors when they find success, Perry bought his first mansion in Los Angeles just a year after Friends premiered in 1994: a two-bedroom house in the Hollywood Hills.
“It’s the law when you have a hit comedy: between the first and second seasons, you buy a house,” he told the Toronto Star at the time.
It’s unclear how much he bought it for, but the Canadian-American sold his first mansion in 2001 for $839,000. The property is now worth around $2 million.
He had already moved into a new home in 1999, when he bought a 6,500-square-foot mansion in Beverly Hills for $3.2 million. The nearly 2,000-square-foot property included a pool, sauna and walls of glass, a feature that would be part of many of Perry’s future homes.
Also in 2005, Perry purchased a furnished two-bedroom condo on the Sunset Strip for about $2.5 million. The house, previously owned by Sir Elton John, was a corner unit in the Sierra Towers building in the West Hollywood area.
Featuring a classic architectural design with a modern twist, the home is decorated with light, bright walls and furniture, with wood accents and patterns in earth tones and a statement of bold colors.
Perry never had the opportunity to enjoy his newly purchased property, as he died just months after the $5 million purchase in a tragic and sudden death.
In 2006, Perry purchased a 4,100-square-foot mansion on the Sunset Strip for $1.7 million. It featured glass walls that opened to a patio and pool, as well as multiple fireplaces and a home theater. He sold the property in 2014 for $5.695 million.
In 2008, Perry moved from that glass house to a mansion on Carman Crest Drive for which he paid $4.475 million. The three-bedroom home also featured glass walls and modern architecture.
He sold the house for $4.6 million in 2013, but had already moved on to another home in 2011, when he bought another glass-covered three-bedroom home in the Hollywood Hills for $8.5 million.
Also in 2011, the Friends star purchased a $12 million Malibu beachfront home that she once called her “amazing Malibu house.”
Perry moved again in 2017, this time to a ‘mansion in the sky’ with a price tag of $21 million.
In 2020, Perry sold his Malibu beach house for $12.95 million, below the original listing price of $14.95 million but still more than the actor bought it for.
That summer he bought a $6 million cabin in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood of Los Angeles, where years later he would be found dead in the hot tub.
