It isn’t a surprise that so many celebrities call Hawaii home. Who wouldn’t want to live in such a breathtaking paradise?! It’s nothing but warm days and stunning luxury homes that overlook the incredible Hawaiian scenery. There are many actors, musicians, and entrepreneurs who live in the Rainbow State or own property there. Here’s a list of five famous people who currently reside there full or part-time.
JACK JOHNSON
As a professional surfer, it’s not surprising to find Jack Johnson resides in a surfer’s haven. The laid back, acoustic reggae/folk musician can be found on the island of Oahu. Jack Johnson grew up on the North Shore of Oahu and learned to surf at the age of five. He and his family still reside on the North Shore and have a beautiful property with views of the shoreline.
A passionate gardener, Johnson enjoys the slower speed of life on the Island and can usually be found with family and friends, enjoying their home, surfing, and having dinners with locally grown foods. As a native Hawaiian, Johnson has no plans to head over to the mainland, away from the sun and waves.
MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY
Another famous Hawaii resident is actor Matthew McConaughey. He recently purchased a 7-million dollar dream home that had people on The Big Island buzzing. The incredible home is located in the prestigious Kukio Golf & Beach Club in Kailua-Kona.
The striking property not only has incredible views, but it also features a 66-foot infinity pool, extensive custom woodwork throughout, and not only one, but two firepits. McConaughey’s luxurious oasis is the perfect getaway for his family.
BETTE MIDLER
Born in Honolulu, Better Midler, the American actress and singer, grew up in Oahu. She attended The University of Hawaii at Manoa for a few years before dropping out to focus on acting. And what a good decision it was!
Midler purchased a 38-acre property on Kauai near Kilauea that overlooks the Pacific Ocean. The island property is a part-time residence for her, as she owns several other plots of land around the country.
WILLIE NELSON
Part-time Maui resident Willie Nelson splits his time between his Texas horse rescue ranch and island living. The outlaw music singer cherishes Hawaii and can often be found enjoying the incredible peace and scenery in Paia along the north shore of Maui.
Nelson was known to make surprise music appearances at the local bar Charleys Restaurant and Saloon, which unfortunately recently closed during the pandemic.
PIERCE BROSNAN
Pierce Brosnan, the famous 007, knows how to live life the right way. The famous actor and his wife relax in comfort in their gorgeous oceanfront Kauai home.
Enjoying all the activities the island has to offer with his family, Brosnan had listed his California home for sale in 2020 with hopes to make Hawaii his permanent residence. With unbeatable views, breathtaking scenery, and cabana style decor, it’s hard for the actor to not enjoy his Hawaiian way of life!
