Suzanne Somers Lived An Incredibly Lavish Life

With an estimated net worth of $100 million at the time of her passing, it is no surprise that Suzanne Somers led a lavish lifestyle. Before she penned various wellness books, Somers led a successful career in acting and modeling. In 1977 Somers and her husband, producer Alan Hamel, bought a 70-acre estate in Palm Springs. Aptly named “Les Baux de Palm Springs,” the French-inspired mansion sits in the middle of Southern California’s desert mountains (per Country Living).

The property consists of a whopping five villas that are connected to each other by tram. Yes, the estate is so huge that guests must be transported by rail car. “As we rode up the romantic funicular, I said to Alan, ‘Let’s buy this,’” Somers recalled of their first tram ride while touring the property (via People). “I was not able to contain my excitement, and we paid more than full price.”

In addition to its own private transit, “Les Baux de Palm Springs” contains an outdoor amphitheater, a hillside pool, and even a carousel. Somers and Hamel originally bought the estate for just $420,000, and it was sold for $8.5 million in 2021 (per Home and Garden).
