Sidney Poitier | Born 1927
$4.5 Million – Beverly Hills, California

Born in February of 1927, Sidney Portier is well-known in the film industry as a Bahamian American actor, director, and producer who defied the skin color barrier penetrating the film industry by being the first African-American actor to be awarded with an Oscars for his performance in Lilies of the Field. His non-conformist attitude was also apparent when he rejected roles that embody roles emphasizing stereotypical roles.

Before his notable contributions to film, the actor used to serve in the army during the Second World War. After being discharged, he migrated to New York and attempted to apply to the American Negro Theatre and was accepted during his second try. This very moment would pave his way to the big screen. At 94 years old at the moment, it goes without saying that the actor has probably tons of investments, most apparent is his Beverly Hills manor. The house boasts stunning rustic interiors carefully curated by his interior designer wife, Joanna.
