Inside Will Smith's $3.8 million motorhome that's better than most houses

Inside Will Smith's $3.8 million motorhome that's better than most houses

Daily Telegraph2 days ago

Being an actor often entails spending extended periods away from family and constantly being on the move.
While many of us dream of living the luxurious life that celebrities experience, this lifestyle can become exhausting, or so actors keep telling us.
For Will Smith, he may have discovered the ultimate solution to these challenges; however, the only problem is that it doesn't come cheap.
The 'Fresh Prince of Bel-Air' star, who has a reported net worth of around $540 million, once owned a custom two-storey motorhome worth $3.8 million ($US2.5 million), which is significantly more valuable than most Aussie houses.
The Hollywood star dropped $2.5 million on a fully customised, two-storey RV by Anderson Mobile Estates that boasts enough amenities to rival even the fanciest homes.
Ron Anderson, who helped to design the trailer, ran through the fine details and explored the expensive materials used to bring it to life.
'This is the biggest, tallest, widest, most luxurious RV in the world,' Anderson said.
'Will Smith contacted me and said I want something unique; I said, 'I got it.'
'There's no amount of money that you could offer me to break that trust.'
This massive 22-wheeled vehicle has it all, from expensive countertops to a home cinema.
Known as 'The Heat', this sprawling home features an expansive roof that rises to 107cm to create an upstairs level, housing an impressive 30-person cinema with automatic shades and a 100-inch TV.
If (for some reason) a cinema with 30 seats doesn't interest you, the room can also be transformed into a luxurious office space.
The first level of the home on wheels features a full kitchen estimated to be worth around $300,000, a dining room, two lounges — one of which boasts a professional makeup station — and a small office, while the other serves as a wardrobe.
The downstairs area features a $38,000 bathroom that spans the full width of the trailer, complete with a glass door that turns opaque at the touch of a button, a sauna shower, and a separate toilet.
The luxury extends beyond that, as the motorhome boasts 111.5 square metres of living space, 14 televisions, leather furnishings valued at $462,000, and technology worth over $192,500.
All doors on the RV are automatic and were dubbed 'Star Trek' doors by Anderson when the RV was first unveiled in the early 2000s.
Will used to own 'The Heat' for decades and famously lived in it while filming Ali, Men in Black III, and The Pursuit of Happyness.
If you're willing to pay for the experience, this luxurious 22-wheeler is now available for hire at a rate of $13,800 per night.
Will Smith is currently residing in a $66m custom-built compound in Calabasas, California, which he has owned for several years.
The house was designed by architect Stephen Samuelson, who collaborated with Will Smith and Pinkett Smith in 1997, inspired by the work he had done on the home of Carol Burnett, according to Architectural Digest.
The property boasts nine bedrooms and 13 bathrooms.
The residence features a meditation lounge, a recording studio, a sunken trampoline, and courts for basketball, tennis, and volleyball.
The home graced the cover of Architectural Digest in 2011 and was briefly listed for sale for $42 million in 2014.
In September 2021, the couple had to renovate the property after a basement fire caused smoke damage. The family was home when the fire broke out, but no injuries were reported, according to the New York Post.
Pinkett Smith reportedly filmed her former talk show 'Red Table Talk' inside the Calabasas home.
Last year, the pair parted ways with one of the more modest properties in their robust real estate portfolio.
