As I delve into the opulent lifestyle of Tom Cruise, I find myself utterly awestruck by the grandeur and extravagance that seems to follow this Hollywood titan like a golden halo. His penthouse apartment, a veritable palace in the sky, is a testament to his success and influence in Tinseltown. The private 39-foot rooftop lap pool, the flight simulator room, and the car elevator are just a few of the many luxurious amenities that adorn this multi-million-dollar abode.


Tom Cruise looked concerned as he arrived at Battersea heliport on Thursday.

62-year-old actor, currently shooting Mission Impossible 8, anxiously awaits news about potential damage to his high-end condo in Florida’s Clearwater, caused by Hurricane Milton.

A terrible hurricane lashed Florida with destructive winds of up to 120 miles per hour and floods, causing at least two deaths and leaving over two million residents without electricity.

Overnight, Florida, a beloved sun-soaked getaway for many British vacationers in the USA, morphed into a nightmare scene due to the emergence of destructive tornadoes from the hurricane. These twisters demolished over 100 homes in St. Lucie County.

Overwhelming numbers of Florida residents fled their homes in fear as the tempest approached, leaving a trail of destruction in cities like Tampa. There, torrential downpours caused flash floods that ravaged the bay area, with Tampa receiving up to 16 inches of rainfall.

Since 2016, I’ve called my Florida apartment home, having said farewell to my real estate holdings in Beverly Hills for an appealing $39 million.

But he has been based in the UK most recently to film the latest installment of Mission Impossible. 

In a laid-back manner, the influential figure from Hollywood was spotted in a black sweater and denim pants, strolling towards the helicopter.

Authorities advise that individuals opting to remain during Hurricane Milton will essentially need to manage on their own.

Officials from emergency services have been frank in their evaluation of the potential harm that Milton might cause. They’ve made a point to emphasize its dangerous nature, highlighting the threat it poses to vulnerable coastal areas and reminding residents about the devastation caused by Hurricane Helene not long ago.

At a press briefing held on Wednesday morning, Emergency Management Director Cathie Perkins declared, “Here we are.

For individuals who experienced being hit during Hurricane Helene, this situation is about to become severe. It’s crucial that you evacuate immediately.

Tom relocated to the residence because of its close proximity to the main headquarters of Scientology, and it seems he was content living there.

Tom owns an impressive, multi-million-dollar penthouse apartment that boasts a personal 39-foot rooftop swimming pool for laps, designed specifically for the actor.

2018 plans indicated that the rooftop would feature a garden with a pool, a kitchen specifically for outdoor cooking, and an area for alfresco dining.

The penthouse fills the top two floors of the condominium, dubbed The SkyView, and features an entire room dedicated to a flight simulator.

The design additionally revealed that this lavish residence boasts a private access complete with a car lift, along with a spacious garage capable of accommodating approximately nine vehicles.

Amenities for residents of the building itself will include the Sky Lounge community pool, a playroom for children and a lounge dubbed ‘The Vault’.

Tom resided with his adopted son Connor, previously shared with ex-spouse Nicole Kidman, in their apartment, until she relocated to Scientology’s religious sanctuary known as The Sandcastle.

Connor has gradually taken after his dad, Tom, and grown more deeply involved in Scientology.

2018 saw the disclosure that he had been residing at the opulent Sandcastle complex, which is often referred to as a ‘spiritual getaway’ belonging to the Church.

Back in 1979, a resort-like establishment was constructed, which I have the privilege of being associated with. It received an update in 2018, expanding to accommodate 62 residential units and 84 rooms specifically designed for ‘auditing’ – a unique practice within Scientology where individuals undergo personal interrogation to identify ‘areas of spiritual turmoil’.

On the outside, there’s a striking contrast to the strict religious activities within. Instead, you’ll find breathtaking water vistas, a pool and Jacuzzi, a rooftop garden, and a humble, tropical-themed bar area.

Moises Agami, a wealthy Scientologist, had been planning and developing his luxurious penthouse since 2015, before moving in by 2018, according to reports.

It appears that Agami was planning to list the condo units at a price ranging from $300,000 to $350,000. These units are approximately 1,300 square feet in size, feature two bedrooms, and have two bathrooms each.

However, in 2015, Agami’s original plans experienced significant alterations when the number of proposed units dropped from 52 to just 40. This adjustment was made to accommodate a luxury penthouse and private garage.

Approximately two years ago, Tom disposed of six of his personal real estate assets, one of which was his main residence in Beverly Hills.

Back in 2013, I, the die-hard fan, found myself watching the news with bated breath as the legendary Maverick – yes, you guessed it, none other than the Top Gun star himself – decided to part ways with not one but two of his magnificent New York residences. The first was a stunning $3 million apartment, and the second, a jaw-dropping $28 million townhouse that left me absolutely spellbound.

In the year 2015, he put up for sale his residence in the Hollywood Hills, his property in Telluride, Colorado, his mansion in Beverly Hills, and a house he owned in the south of England.
