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

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.

‘Really sad': The latest former Project host to mourn show's axing

Peter Helliar is the latest former The Project star to speak out about the show's axing, which was announced yesterday. Helliar appeared as one of the show's hosts from 2014 to 2022, before quitting as part of a mass exodus that saw colleagues Carrie Bickmore, Tommy Little and Lisa Wilkinson all leave the show in the same year. This morning on Nova 100's Jase & Lauren, Helliar shared his reaction to the news The Project would come to an end on June 27, after 16 years on-air. He called the news 'really sad' but praised the show for lasting as long as it has when 'very few shows get to the second season.' Helliar also warned that he didn't think audiences 'realise what they'll miss out on now,' and praised The Project for providing a platform for those in the arts and entertainment. 'The amount of comedians and musicians and filmmakers who have said to me over the years, The Project was the reason we sold tickets. And that's missing now.' Helliar said he'd been in touch with some of the team still working on the show, and said it had been 'a really hard day, because a lot of people lost their jobs yesterday.' Helliar's former co-host and arguably the biggest star The Project produced during its 16 years on-air, Carrie Bickmore, shared similar sentiments on social media yesterday. Calling the cancellation 'such sad news,' she wrote that: 'Regardless of how you felt about the show (everyone seems to have very strong opinions about it both ways) it changed the way news was delivered.' 'I am so proud of what the show and everyone involved in making it achieved. You've never met a more passionate and engaged bunch.' After days of mounting speculation about The Project 's future, Network Ten yesterday issued a statement confirming the show will finish for good at the end of June. The network also revealed its reshuffled evening line-up, with game show Deal or No Deal moving to 7pm and 'the launch of a new national one-hour 6pm news, current affairs and insights program six days a week to complement 10's one-hour 5pm local news bulletins.' The Project' s creator Craig Campbell, Creative Director at Roving Enterprises, acknowledged that the end of the program would be a difficult time for those working on the show. 'We have an extraordinary team making this show every day and I know this news will hit them hard. It's been a privilege to work with them and the hundreds of others that joined us along the way,' he said.

Footage of the alarming moment has gone viral on social media and shows the star strumming her guitar on stage when a fan dressed in dark clothing suddenly appears at her side. After squealing in surprise, the singer moves away and begins to sing while two security guards attempt to wrangle the intruder away.
