Catherine Zeta-Jones Defends Her Four Homes as “Comfortable,” Not “Excessive”

Hollywood actress Catherine Zeta-Jones recently offered insight into her and husband Michael Douglas’s impressive property portfolio—two homes in New York, one in Canada, and a luxurious estate in Mallorca, Spain. Despite the jet-set appearance, she emphasized the collection is grounded in practicality and comfort, not extravagance.

Zeta-Jones, 55, explained that the dispersed locations make sense for her lifestyle—particularly to accommodate her extensive fashion collection, which includes pieces from vintage Parisian finds to statement Yves Saint Laurent gowns. She quipped that while she won’t splurge on basics like a $270 T-shirt, she loves “the theatre of fashion” when it comes to couture.

Reflecting on her modest roots in Wales, Zeta-Jones recalled how her father’s bingo win helped fund her dance lessons—an early spark for her artistic path. Her current home ownership, she suggests, is an extension of that early love for beauty, rather than an exercise in opulence.

Michael Douglas previously highlighted their Mallorca estate—a family legacy meant for generations—underscoring its sentimental and geographic significance.

In short, Zeta-Jones presents a life rooted in elegance and comfort, where beauty meets balance—far from a life of excessive indulgence.
