Louis Walsh, 71, is currently starring on Celebrity Big Brother and has been shocking viewers with some of his outspoken opinions on his former clients and friends.
Louis, who is known by most for being a former judge on The X Factor alongside Simon Cowell, previously managed four of Ireland’s most successful pop acts in the 90s and 2000s – Johnny Logan, Boyzone, Jedward and Westlife.
The television personality’s success means he has an estimated net worth of £116million, according to Heart Radio.
The music mogul made the majority of his cash back in the 90s and 2000s when he also managed Shayne Ward and Girls Aloud.
He has also appeared as a judge on various TV shows over the years including Popstars: The Rivals, The X Factor and Ireland’s Got Talent.
Where does Louis Walsh live?
According to The Mirror, Louis lives permanently in Dublin, Ireland.
He said last year: “I’m living in Dublin all the time now and I love it.
“I feel maybe 40 and I’m enthusiastic about life.” He added: “I like being busy.”
It’s believed Louis has a large townhouse in Dublin and an apartment in Dalkey, according to RSVPLive.
Dalkey is an affluent suburb of Dublin that’s one of the most desirable and prestigious addresses in the whole of Ireland.
Properties sell for an average of €685,743 in Dalkey, according to Proper.ie, which is the equivalent of £588,529.
According to Rightmove, Properties in Dublin had an overall average price of £180,754 over the last year.
Overall, sold prices in Dublin over the last year were similar to the previous year and four percent up on the 2021 peak of £173,752.
Back in 2005, when Louis was a judge on The X Factor, the music boss gave viewers a glance inside his London pad at the time.
The property was incredibly minimalist with very little furniture, pop art-style portraits on the wall and a modern kitchen.
Louis, who was born in County Mayo, reportedly has more than one home. It was reported by Spear’s Magazine in 2017 that he owned multiple properties – one in Dublin, a home in London and another place in South Beach, Miami.
The Celebrity Big Brother 2024 final will be broadcast on March 22.
