George Clooney insists he lives a “normal” life despite owning multiple homes around the world and a staggering fortune of $500 million ($A750 million).
The Oscar-winner and his wife Amal boast an extensive property portfolio across the globe worth $US100 million ($A150 million), according to Celebrity Net Worth.
The impressive real estate collection includes a $US14.7 million ($A22.2 million) New York City condo, a villa on Lake Como, a $US13 million ($A19.6 million) mansion in the UK and a sprawling $US8.3 million ($A12.5 million) estate in France.
During the premiere of his latest film, Jay Kelly, the 64-year-old actor told the Daily Mail he does have “normalcy” in his life.
“I have normalcy. You know, I drive my kids to school every morning,” the megastar insisted. “I have normalcy – except for this.”

The Ocean’s Eleven star confessed he does have somewhat of a “pampered” life, which he tries to shield from his and Amal’s eight-year-old twins Ella and Alexander.
“They didn’t come to the set much. They came a couple of times. I try to keep the kids away from that experience right now,” he explained.
“I’m not quite sure what they would think about it. I don’t want them to think we’re too pampered.”
Clooney’s most famous home is the Villa Oleander on Italy’s Lake Como, which he snapped up in 2002 for $US30 million ($A45 million).
Located in Laglio, Italy, the property features 15 bedrooms, a private swimming pool, a tennis court, a full gym, landscaped gardens, ornately carved ceilings, massive bathrooms and a separate “pizza room”.

In a new interview with Esquire, the Batman & Robin actor opened up about his life in France and explained why they chose to uproot their family to the countryside.
“You know, we live on a farm in France. A good portion of my life growing up was on a farm, and as a kid I hated the whole idea of it,” he told the outlet.
“But now, for them, it’s like – they’re not on their iPads, you know? They have dinner with grown-ups and have to take their dishes in. They have a much better life.
“I was worried about raising our kids in LA, in the culture of Hollywood. I felt like they were never going to get a fair shake at life,” he continued.
“France – they kind of don’t give a sh*t about fame. I don’t want them to be walking around worried about paparazzi. I don’t want them being compared to somebody else’s famous kids.”
Earlier this year, the From Dusk till Dawn actor told The New York Times about embracing the quieter life outside the city.
“Growing up in Kentucky, all I wanted to do was get away from a farm, get away from that life,” he told the outlet.
“Now I find myself back in that life. I drive a tractor and all those things.”
