“Fool me once, fool me twice
Are you death or paradise?
Now you’ll never see me cry
There’s just no time to die”
No Time To Die – Billie Eilish
Billie Eilish filled up her bay with an ocean of awards! And we can’t stop staring at those ocean eyes. The 20-year-old is actively making the world go gaga over her latest Bond song, “No Time to Die” and she even won an Oscar for it along with his brother Finneas in the category of Best Original Song. It was the first time any American songwriter have won an Academy Award for a Bond song.
And while we can’t get enough of her, Billie is not behind in bringing something new to the world. The queen prepped herself for not only her headline performances at the Coachella and Glastonbury music festivals but also for a smashing Grammy performance on April 3, 2022. What’s more? She has also performed her Oscar-winning Bond song at the 94th Academy Awards and has been nominated at the 64th GRAMMY Awards for her recent album release ‘Happier Than Ever’.
The youngest artist to win multiple Grammys in all four categories, Billie has established her ground on the high stage of music with her distinct soprano voice in a very short time. But the head-turner here is not just Eilish’s voice but also the several properties she and her brother Finneas own.
In this article, let’s get to know about Billie Eilish’s properties, super sports cars, her career graph and her advocacy for body positivity.

Where does Billie Live?
Being a native Californian, Billie keeps true to her roots as she continues to live with her parents in their humble Los Angeles home. Apart from their childhood home, the brother and sister duo (Billie and Finneas) own a number of properties across the city of Angeles. Let’s get to know about her different properties below.
Billie Eilish’s LA Home: Where It All Started
We all love the home where we grew up, babbled our first words and rode our first bike. And for Billie, her LA home is where she started her career. It is her treasure trove of memories and the emblem of who she is today. Undoubtedly, her childhood home has to be what Billie holds so close to her heart.
This is why she still resides with her parents in her 1,208 sq ft abode based in the Highland Park area of LA, California. The residence dawns the typical housing structure prevalent in 1912, which her parents purchased in 2001 for $240,000, now estimated to be valued at around $800,000.

A rustic and simple single-family property, it nests two bedrooms, one hall, kitchen, and bathroom. Having limited space, her parents gave the two bedrooms to the talented sibling duo while they slept on a futon in the living space.
Growing up under the care of a musician father and a mother who was a voice actor, the Eilish siblings were never far from their true calling as they had three pianos to practice on from the start. Always motivating and inspiring them, their parents also provided them with a guitar, a ukulele along with an assortment of other musical instruments later on.

And even though she and her brother were homeschooled, she never regretted a moment as it gave them the time and the creative freedom to hone the craft the entire world admires right now. In fact, this is where the two started working together on their music in their first makeshift studio.
In an interview with Gayle King of CBS, which aired in December 2019, Billie discussed her home, whereas her brother gave a tour of the space where they grew up.
Billie also took famous comedian James Corden on her LA house tour during Carpool Karaoke which was later streamed on The Late Late Show with James Corden.
Eilish, apart from being a pop sensation for the GenZ populace, is someone who is very humble and a true artist, honouring her craft more than anything else. She grew up listening to the music from her idols and started collaborating with her brother to create her first debut album in her brother’s bedroom, an extraordinary place to create her music and too hard to leave behind for a fancy studio.
Glendale Horse Ranch: The Hush-Hush Purchase

In 2019, Billie seemed to have secretly purchased the wondrous Glendale Horse Ranch from the X Factor winner and musician, Leona Lewis. The way Eilish bought this property speaks tons about her ultra-private personality.
In a place like Hollywood, it is practically impossible to own a new property without making a headline, especially for stars like Billie Eilish. While news reports in 2019 confirmed the sale of Leona Lewis’ paradisiacal equestrian estate, the buyer was unknown.

When dug deep, it was found that not only is the Glendale Horse Ranch just ten minutes away from Highland Park (where Billie stays with her parents), but the realtor who roped in the particular buyer had also previously worked with Finneas Eilish, Billie’s brother.
However, the biggest revelation of this property purchase came with the release of Eilish’s second album, “Happier Than Ever”, in 2021, wherein her song NDA not only describes her struggle with dating being a celebrity but literally states, “bought a secret house when I was seventeen”. Billie was actually seventeen when she bought the Glendale Ranch in 2019.
The property is a horse-friendly zone, and we all know how much Billie is obsessed with horses and horse riding, as she mentioned on different occasions.

It is a particularly private property and hidden behind two 10-feet gates and even bigger hedges with advanced security in place. Apart from the 2,100 sq ft single storey ranch, it also includes a separate guest house, a separate space for horse keepers, goat pens and several paddocks for the horses.

The house is equipped with amenities like a swimming pool with a stylised sunken conversation pit, three bedrooms and bathrooms, along with a freshly renovated kitchen area. With hardwood flooring and foldaway glass doors, the main house is a delicious mishmash of modern and rustic beauty, offering refreshing outdoor views and natural light exposure.
Spanish Colonial Mansion (Finneas O’Connell’s House)

In 2019, Finneas O’Connell purchased a property in Los Feliz, Los Angeles, known as the Spanish Colonial mansion. How is this Billie Eilish’s house, one may wonder?
With close-knit connections between the brother and sister, Billie was expected to move into the mansion very soon, which was already shared by Finneas and his girlfriend Lucy, who is also a great friend to Billie.
The property was purchased at $2.73 Million and spread across a sprawling area of 2,600 sq ft. The property includes four bedrooms and bathrooms and is home to their dog, Peaches. This is also the siblings’ current den for composing their upcoming smash hit songs in the fancy inbuilt music studio.
A Garage Full of Billie’s Gold

The songstress is not only passionate about music but also about building a car collection of her own. From luxurious sports cars to a surprisingly modest minivan, Billie Eilish’s car collection is as unique as hers.
Dodge Challenger SRT and Mclaren 720S ($300,0000) are the two beautiful beasts that rest in her garage when she is not in the mood to go top speed. Both equipped with powerful variations of V8 engines, they offer Billie the Vroom she needs to reach her destination with 710 and 717 horsepower, respectively.
Billie has also mentioned Dodge Challenger SRT to be her “dream car” on multiple occasions. Costing about $300,000, she even flaunted her fancy ride in the music videos of NDA and Everything I Wanted.
She also owns a Chevrolet Suburban whose starting price stands at $50,000 and a surprising addition of a modest Mazda5 minivan that is not a go-to choice for a lot of stars.
How is the ‘Bad Guy’ Star So Unique?

Trendsetter. Extraordinarily different. Record-breaker. These are a few common adjectives that describe the triumph and emphatic vocals of Billie Eilish.
Invoking an enigmatic echo in the dark, Billie’s voice is not just ethereal but whispery and slurring that puts us in the zone with a quiet immediacy.
When uploading Ocean Eyes on SoundCloud on a monotonous 2016 night in her bedroom, Eilish, like the rest of the world, was unaware that she would be shot to fame overnight and within the next three years will be launching her own album ‘When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?’ Blending the subgenres of pop, the 20-year-old makes us groove and ponder to her tunes, all at the same time.
Apart from her album launch in 2019, she also performed at Coachella, North America’s largest music festival, for the first time and topped the charts as the youngest artist on the Coachella bill. She joined the star-studded headliners once again in 2022 at the grand festival.
2022 has further proved to be a gloriously busy year for the songstress as Billie Eilish and her brother Finneas not only performed “No Time To Die” from the titular Bond movie at the Oscars but even won it on March 28, 2022.

It is quite astounding to know that the O’Connell siblings sent the first draft of this song to Hans Zimmer, the Bond music composer, as part of an audition. And while the others weren’t quite satisfied, the Oscar-winning composer, Zimmer, fought for them as the talented sibling duo, in his eyes, were the perfect one. He even stated in an interview that “they were an obvious choice for the part”.
Already a winner of seven Grammys, Billie was not only nominated yet again for her album Happier Than Ever but also performed at the event with other major stars like BTS, Brandi Carlile, and Lil Nas X, among others.

There is more to why she is a sensation to the world at such an early age. “Turning Red” – the new Pixar movie streaming on Disney+Hotstar, pictures a boy band with original songs “Nobody Like U”, “1 True Love”, “U Know What’s Up”, all written by the Grammy winner herself along with Finneas.
Unapologetically Billie

Apart from her music, what makes Billie Eilish stand out is her authentic self. Prioritising her craft, the songstress does not care about anything else. But coming into the limelight holds its pros and cons. And in 2020, when one of her photos in a tank top got out, she suffered the brunt of body shaming. But Billie being the fiery one, didn’t let that bog her down and transformed it into a revolt through art.
With the release of her poem “Not My Responsibility”, she not only lashed back at the people who raised their brows towards what she wore but made a fine attempt to promote body positivity. And, we think it is only Billie who can rebel against such a deep-seated popular misconception spreading like a virus with such smooth yet powerful artistry.
“If I wear more
If I wear less
Who decides what that makes me?
What that means?
Is my value based only on your perception?
Or is your opinion of me
Not my responsibility?”
The 20-year-old has voiced that she gravitates towards bigger and baggier clothes to hide away because she doesn’t want the public to comment on her. In her words, she does not want to be an open book to the world and that every individual should have the independence to be who they are and wear what they want.
By restoring the memory of her father collecting the sample perfumes from newspapers and magazines, Billie has eventually come up with a fragrance that she can call her own. The shape of the bottle is not based on a specific body type but it represents all body types. Eilish is a gourmand fragrance family with a hint of mandarin, berries and sugar petals with a base of vanilla, which is her favourite. Eilish is a fragrance that she has chased for years and it is her favourite smell in the whole world.
Recently, the second edition came out named Eilish No. 2 which opens with the freshness of apple blossom and Italian bergamot. This earthy smell is available on her website retailing at $72.
If you follow Billie then you must have come across her cooking and recipe posts. Billie Eilish practises veganism and loves promoting it to her fans as well. This 21-year-old star is utilising Instagram to promote ‘Veganuary’, an initiative to promote veganism and educate about the benefits to both plants and humans of adopting veganism. This campaign is further enhanced by endorsing a month-long challenge to try a vegan lifestyle and motivating individuals to try the plant-based diet for 31 days. In 2014, when Billie rose as an artist, she started Veganuary. The strength of the initiative in 2022 was 629,000, with one person signing in to take part every 2.4 seconds.
Into the Future
With her record-breaking music, Billie Eilish is a global sensation and an idol for a lot of people. It is inspirational to look at somebody so young, being able to encapsulate the world with her voice and be herself. Extremely individualistic and independent, what matters to her the most is her devotion to her work rather than Hollywood glitz and glamour. Since the dawn of her career, not only has Billie offered us a refreshing voice with her soulful music but has also opened the eyes of many with her poem “Not My Responsibility”. And, we heartily wait to see what Billie Eilish brings to the table and where she lands in the future.
