George Lucas buys $25m beach house in Santa Barbara

George Lucas isn’t feeling the pinch! The Star Wars creator has just splashed out a whopping $25m on a beach house in Santa Barbara.

Lucas — who’s believed to be worth around $2.25 billion — snapped up the six-bedroom, four-bath abode complete with yoga room after the 1.7-acre estate was reduced from $37.5 million, according to New York Post gossip column Page Six.

Lucas’ new neighbors will include fellow directors Ivan Reitman and Andrew Davis, as well as Oprah Winfrey, Rob Lowe, Steve Martin, John Cleese and Kirk Douglas.
