Cher
None in Miami/South Florida
Miami Connection
Cher's ownership and renovation of the La Gorce Island estate in the 1990s elevated its status as a luxury icon in Miami Beach's ultra-exclusive gated community. Her design contributions, featuring Moorish architecture, exotic interiors, and resort-style amenities, influenced the property's legacy and high-value resales, including a $42.5 million listing and $35 million sale. The home remains a symbol of elite South Florida living among celebrities like Billy Joel and Lil Wayne.
About
Cher rose to fame in the 1960s as part of the duo Sonny & Cher, later achieving solo success with over 100 million records sold, a Grammy, Oscar, Emmy, and number-one hits across six decades. She expanded into acting, Broadway, and became renowned as a dynamic celebrity home decorator and flipper with properties in Hawaii, Florida, New York, and California. In 1993, she purchased and overhauled a Spanish-contemporary estate on Miami's exclusive La Gorce Island, infusing it with her unique Moorish and exotic style before selling it three years later to Calvin Klein co-founder Barry K. Schwartz. The property, now modernized, has traded hands multiple times, most recently for $35.35 million. Cher has no current professional role or residence in Miami or South Florida.
