The Only Water Here Is in Pool

"Kevin Costner, the Oscar-winning director ("Dances With Wolves") and one of the biggest box-office draws of the '90s, bought the Westside home after his science-fiction action epic "Waterworld" was released. He produced and starred in the $200-million "Waterworld," said to be the costliest film ever made."

"The house he bought has been described as "a Spanish hacienda," about 9,000 square feet in size, with five bedrooms plus staff quarters. The gated home also has a pool, gym, library and city views."

"Michael Caine and his wife, Shakira, have sold their home in the Trousdale area of Beverly Hills for $1.55 million. The house was first listed in February, at $2.3 million, because the Caines weren't using it."

Kevin Costner, an Oscar-winning director and major box-office star, bought a Spanish hacienda-style home on the Westside for approximately $3 million following his $80 million divorce settlement. The 9,000 square-foot gated property features five bedrooms, staff quarters, a pool, gym, library, and city views. Costner made this purchase after the release of his $200 million science-fiction epic "Waterworld," which he produced and starred in. Meanwhile, Michael Caine and his wife Shakira sold their Trousdale area Beverly Hills home for $1.55 million, down from its initial $2.3 million listing price. The Caines owned the property for three years as a second home and maintain residences in Oxford, London, and Miami.
