Rush Limbaugh
New York, New York
In 2009, controversial radio host Rush Limbaugh vowed to sell his New York home after Governor David Paterson proposed a "millionaire's tax" on residents making more than $500,000.

The 4-bedroom, 5.5-bathroom residence features a wood-paneled library, a large media room and four terraces, two of which face Central Park.

Unlike the unkempt homes of the party-loving characters in his comedies, Apatow's elegant estate features a sun-filled, two-story foyer, a rich, wood-paneled library with a fireplace and a "secret room," and a state-of-the-art home theater. Located on nearly an acre of land at the end of a cul-de-sac, the ultra-private property offers spectacular ocean and canyon views from the stone patio.
