The public record does not substantiate ten distinct, expensive things Scarlett Johansson bought. It does document several past home purchases, one jointly purchased house, an art acquisition with no disclosed price, and her interest in collecting Victorian-era jewelry. The clearest dollar figures are historical property transactions—not current valuations.
What Johansson’s reported property purchases cost
Architectural Digest’s 2023 retrospective traces several homes Johansson bought earlier in her career. The amounts below are reported transaction figures, not present-day valuations.

| Property | Reported purchase | Later reported sale | What the record establishes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hollywood condo | $372,000 in 2003 | $470,000 in 2013 | Architectural Digest’s 2023 retrospective reports both historical transactions. Source |
| Los Angeles Spanish-style villa | $7 million in 2007 | Listed for $5.1 million and reportedly sold for $4 million in 2010 | The retrospective reports the purchase and later sale. Source |
| Sutton Place penthouse, Manhattan | $2.1 million in 2008 | About $1.9 million in 2022 | Architectural Digest reported that Johansson renovated it during her ownership. The sale price is lower than the reported purchase price, but that comparison does not include renovation or carrying costs. 2022 sale report |
| The Wong House, Los Feliz | $2.9 million, reportedly bought with Ryan Reynolds | $3.5 million | This was a joint purchase, not a solo Johansson acquisition. Source |
The villa has the highest reported purchase price among these homes. Its later reported sale was below that price, while the condo’s reported sale was above its purchase price. Those simple comparisons do not account for expenses, financing, or the full economics of ownership.
What is known about her art and jewelry
Lois Dodd painting: purchase reported, price undisclosed
GQ España reported that Johansson bought Lois Dodd’s Night House with Lit Window in 2019. Her price was not disclosed, so the painting cannot be ranked against the homes by cost. The article’s broad discussion of prices for Dodd’s work does not establish what Johansson paid for this specific painting. GQ España’s report

Victorian-era jewelry: a collection, not a priced purchase
In a 2023 W Magazine interview, Johansson said she buys Victorian-era jewelry and hopes to pass the collection to her daughter: “My idea was to put them all in a jewelry box and eventually give it to her.” The interview does not identify individual pieces or disclose what she spent.

Why the engagement ring is not one of her purchases
Johansson said her husband chose the ring: “I love my engagement ring. My husband chose it and he did a very good job.” That makes it unsuitable to count as something she bought. Marie Claire described it as an 11-carat light-brown diamond and relayed an estimate above $400,000; that is a magazine’s estimate, not a verified sale price or confirmed payment by Johansson.

The available reporting supports a handful of property transactions, one named artwork without a disclosed price, and a general account of jewelry collecting. It does not establish ten expensive purchases with prices. Counting gifts, items Johansson merely wore, her husband’s purchases, or guessed prices would turn a short public record into a misleading ranking.
