Many stars didn't grow up with much, so one of the first things they'll buy for their parents once they've made it big is a house. What better way to give back to your parents who sacrificed so much for you than by buying them the house of their dreams? These celebs tend to agree.

Taylor Swift is one of the most famous musicians in the world, but she didn't get that way over night.

The gorgeous house is just a small token of her appreciation for everything they've done for her.

Cardi B is one of the most famous female rappers out there today, and she worked hard and hustled to get there.

In a twist, though, Michael actually lived in the house with his parents for four years until he finally decided to move out in late 2020. Buying them a house and then living with them was a way to not only give back but also to stay close to them.

He lived there for five years until recently when he moved out and moved into a nearby condo instead.

2 Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson first bought his parents a house back in 1999. Since then, though, his parents have divorced, but that hasn't stopped him from taking care of them since he is able to. For Christmas in 2018, he surprised his mom with the ultimate present: keys to a brand new house that he bought just for her. He posted a video of her getting her present on social media, and you could see the pure joy on both of their faces.

1 Rihanna

Rihanna has come so far since she was just a kid growing up on the island of Barbados. Since making it big not only in the music world, but in makeup and fashion too, she's given back to her mother by gifting her a gorgeous five-bedroom house located in Barbados.
