Shockingly Simple Homes of Successful People

Tom Shadyac

“Who is this?” you’re probably wondering. He might not have the most recognizable name out there, but Tom Shadyac is definitely one of Hollywood’s power players. The director has earned millions directing such films as Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, Liar Liar, Bruce Almighty, and The Nutty Professor.

Despite his massive spending power, Shadyac downsized from his 17,000 square foot Beverly Hills home (the kind of place you would expect someone like him to live in) and purchased a 1,000 square foot beachside trailer in Malibu. Rumor has it that a bicycle accident inspired Tom Shadyac to trade in his lavish lifestyle for a more simple way of life.
