Whenever there’s talk of celebrity homes, a picture of a fancy swimming pool automatically comes into mind. Sure, there’s not a cookie-cutter approach to celebrity houses – while a lot of celebrities own expansive estates that allow them to have a pool or two, there are those who prefer to live in an upscale apartment instead. Take the Upper West Side Manhattan for example where space costs an arm and a leg. Most units in this high-end part of NYC simply don’t spare space for a pool.

Yet nothing brings out the star appeal or the fragrance of success like a posh pool in one’s backyard. Or an indoor pool, which is even more splendid, by the way – if you ask me. While the different rooms in the house try to rival each other, the swimming pool easily takes the limelight in the sprawling outdoors.

It may come in different kinds, shapes and sizes – lap, cantilevered, custom-shaped, infinity, etc. – no one can deny that it’s a well-deserved outdoor trophy amenity for the rich and famous in their coddled privacy.

Check out our gallery below of fancy celebrity swimming pools for your enjoyment.
