A short journey from New York, plus the ABC Broadcast Center where The View is filmed, Whoopi's New Jersey home has allowed her to have far more privacy. During an interview with New York Magazine, she admitted that she'd felt "a bit besieged" living in the city, and had been advised by her business partner, Tom Leonardis, to have a look at New Jersey.

"I lived in the city and had no way of sitting outside," she said. "Because every time I go sit outside, 50 people would come and hang out." Clearly, after living in her gorgeous home for 14 years, it looks like Whoopi found what she was looking for.
While the 67-year-old likes to keep her personal life out of the spotlight, she occasionally gives fans a glimpse into her lavish home on Instagram. In particular, followers have marvelled at her kitchen, which boasts a beige and cream color scheme, plus statement granite countertops.
