What Pedro Pascal, Ariana Grande, and The Rock Could Buy in the Hamptons

Everyone loves a celebrity home tour. But the real game is matching the net worth to the ZIP code and asking the question nobody else will: what could they actually afford out here?

The Hamptons luxury real estate market just posted historic numbers. The median home price topped $2 million for the first time ever. East Hampton Village hit $5.625 million. The $20 million-plus category surged 50% over 2024. Bridgehampton alone cleared over $1 billion in sales.

So we took three of Hollywood’s biggest names, ran their reported net worths against current Hamptons inventory, and figured out exactly where each one lands on the South Fork food chain.

Pedro Pascal: $22 Million Net Worth

The internet’s favorite leading man has been building wealth steadily across The Mandalorian, The Last of Us, and now Marvel’s Fantastic Four. He earned $600,000 per episode on The Last of Us Season 1, totaling $5.4 million for the nine-episode run. His reported payday for playing Reed Richards in The Fantastic Four: First Steps was $10 million. Total estimated net worth sits around $22 million as of early 2026.

Financial advisors generally recommend spending no more than 30% of net worth on real estate. That gives Pascal a budget of roughly $6.6 million.

What that buys in the Hamptons: A charming renovated home in Sag Harbor Village or a smaller property in Wainscott. He could land a three-to-four bedroom place with a pool and maybe a peek of water. Think something in the range of what Billy Joel’s Sag Harbor renovation project looked like before the upgrades. According to Social Life Magazine’s Q3 2025 market report, Sag Harbor homes averaged 42 to 52 days on market when priced correctly. At $6.6 million, Pascal is shopping in the sweet spot of the market where competition is real but not insane.

What he cannot buy: Anything on Further Lane, Lily Pond Lane, or Meadow Lane. Those addresses start in the mid-eight figures and climb from there.

Pascal reportedly lives in a modest 1940s-era apartment building in Los Angeles. The Hamptons would be a significant lifestyle upgrade. With his Marvel deal likely extending into multiple films, his buying power could double within five years.

Ariana Grande: $250 Million Net Worth

Ariana Grande is not just a pop star. She is a conglomerate. Between music catalog revenue, the Wicked franchise (both the 2024 original and the 2025 sequel For Good), her r.e.m. beauty brand generating nearly $90 million in annual revenue, and fragrance sales exceeding $1 billion lifetime gross, Grande’s wealth operates at a fundamentally different scale than most entertainers.

She already has New York real estate experience. Grande reportedly has a 4,000-square-foot apartment in the Zaha Hadid Building in Manhattan, valued around $16 million.

With a 30% allocation, Grande’s Hamptons budget lands around $75 million.

What that buys in the Hamptons: Essentially anything she wants. At $75 million, Grande could compete for oceanfront estates in East Hampton or Southampton that come with private beach access, guest houses, pools, and tennis courts. She could afford a compound-level property on Georgica Pond, where Steven Spielberg has his estate. She could acquire one of the trophy listings in Amagansett, where 2025 saw total home sales volume increase 91% and sales over $20 million surge 300%.

According to Bain & Company‘s luxury market analysis, ultra-high-net-worth individuals increasingly view premium real estate as both lifestyle investment and inflation hedge. Grande’s portfolio would benefit from Hamptons real estate appreciation, which has seen median prices double since the pre-pandemic era.

The smart play: A Water Mill or Bridgehampton estate in the $25 to $40 million range with enough acreage for privacy. She could build a recording studio on-site and still have change left for a guest cottage. Jennifer Lopez bought her Water Mill home for under $10 million. Grande could go significantly bigger.

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson: $800 Million Net Worth

Johnson is closing in on billionaire status. His wealth comes from everywhere: $20 to $50 million per film, Teremana Tequila (valued near $2 billion, of which he holds 30 to 40%), Seven Bucks Productions, Under Armour’s Project Rock line, a TKO Group Holdings board position, and an Instagram following of 393 million that commands $1.7 million per sponsored post.

He already owns a 17,630-square-foot mega-mansion in North Beverly Park purchased for $27.8 million, a 46-acre equestrian property in Georgia, and multiple other holdings.

At 30% of net worth, Johnson’s Hamptons budget would be approximately $240 million.

What that buys in the Hamptons: A dynasty. At $240 million, The Rock is not buying a house. He is buying a compound. Multiple adjacent parcels in Southampton or East Hampton. A main residence, guest houses, a gym complex that rivals commercial facilities, equestrian facilities (he already owns horses), and private ocean access.

He could acquire one of the iconic Meadow Lane properties in Southampton, which Knight Frank‘s 2025 Wealth Report identifies as among the most desirable addresses in global luxury real estate. He could buy Howard Stern’s Southampton estate and still have $180 million for renovations and adjacent parcels.

The power move: A multi-property portfolio. Primary estate in Southampton for entertaining and family. A Montauk surf property for casual weekends. A Sag Harbor village pied-à-terre for walking to dinner at Le Bilboquet. Total investment: maybe $100 million. Returns: generational.

The Takeaway for Luxury Buyers

The celebrity net worth exercise is not just entertainment. It reveals something important about Hamptons market positioning. Even at $22 million in total net worth, you are shopping at the entry level of the Hamptons luxury tier. At $250 million, you have serious options. At $800 million, you are building legacy real estate.

The Hamptons in 2025 saw approximately 34% of all transactions close as all-cash purchases. In the ultra-luxury segment above $10 million, cash purchases exceeded 60%. These buyers are not financing. They are deploying capital.

Whether your net worth is closer to Pascal’s or The Rock’s, the Hamptons market has a place for you. The question is whether you are ready to play at the level your ambition demands.
