YOU may expect teenage superstar Billie Eilish to be living a life of luxury in a million dollar mansion.
In fact, the 19-year-old Grammy-winning singer has opted to carry on living in her childhood home. Here’s more about the teen sensation…
Billie Eilish still lives in her childhood home, a two-bedroom bungalow in the Highland Park area of Los Angeles.
The 1,208 square foot house is a modest abode for a Grammy-winning pop sensation.
But it is in fact where Billie and her brother, Finneas, recorded her number one album When We Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?
In an interview with Rolling Stone in 2019, Billie revealed that when she signed her first record deal, her label tried to relocate her to a real studio but she refused.
Billie lives in her family home with her mum Maggie and her dad Patrick.
CBS revealed that “Billie’s parents sleep in the living room – that way Billie has a bedroom, and the Finneas bedroom/studio is always available.”
In 2019, Billie’s home address was leaked online, and crazed fans started visiting the property. For while the family had to employ a bodyguard to sleep in the living room.
“It was really traumatizing,” Billie said.
“I completely don’t feel safe in my house anymore, which sucks. I love my house.”
Finneas moved out in 2019 to live with his girlfriend, YouTuber Claudia Sulewski.
The couple purchased a $2.7 million home in Los Feliz together.
As well as a home recording studio, the house boasts beamed ceilings, arched French doors and stunning interior decor, which is well documented in girlfriend Claudia’s video blogs.
In late 2020, the pair also purchased a beachfront Malibu home worth nearly $5.2 million.
Billie Eilish has never been to conventional school, and neither has her brother.
“I’m so glad I didn’t go to school, because if I had, I would never have the life I have now,” Eilish says.
“The only times I ever wished I could go were so I could f*** around.
At times I just wanted to have, like, a locker, and have a school dance that was at my own school, and get to not listen to the teacher and laugh in class.
“Those were the only things that were interesting to me. And once I realized that, I was like, Oh, I actually don’t want to do the school part of school at all.”
Maggie and Patrick’s decision to home school their children was partly due to
Billie’s Tourette’s syndrome, which causes her to have severe motor tics and are made worse by the stress of mathematics.
She also suffers from an auditory-processing disorder that affects her ability to retain information aurally.
Vogue reported that her Billie’s father “had read an article about the Oklahoma sibling band Hanson and was drawn to the idea that homeschooling had given them the freedom to focus on their artistic interests.”
