George Clooney has never been anything less than quality in his looks, his speech, and his work. So when he wanted a home to share with his family it is no surprise that he would choose somewhere that reflected his whole approach to life. Where else would he pick other than beautiful Sonning?
“It was love at first sight,” said George. “It needed some tender, loving care but I knew it would be a wonderful family home for us and it is on such a marvelous spot, a beautiful part of the Thames surrounded by countryside right by Sonning, which is a delight in itself and yet we would be only 40 miles from London. I couldn’t resist it.”
In fact, George paid £10 million and spent even more on making it the perfect home for his wife, Amal, and their twins, Ella and Alexander. George wanted the best and he got it – another success for one of the world’s most popular actors.
But he is also generous with his money. The couple has recently donated more than £807,000 to the coronavirus relief effort. It thought they have donated money to the NHS, the relief effort in Italy and the Lebanese Food Bank, as well as Los Angeles film and motion picture agencies.
George rose to fame when he appeared in ER, which pulled in huge viewing figures all over the world.
