Donald Trump‘s victory in the 2024 presidential election has triggered a number of intriguing movements in the housing industry—but perhaps none more interesting than the hordes of celebrities vowing to move out of the U.S. rather than remain while he serves as the 47th president.
Ahead of his inauguration in January, multiple stars have voiced their desire to quit America in favor of a new life abroad, with many making clear their plans long before the election had even taken place.
So who is promising to leave—and where are they headed?
Sharon Stone is just one of many A-listers looking abroad for a happier life. The “Basic Instinct” actress revealed earlier this year that she is dreaming of taking up residence in Italy.
“I am certainly considering a house in Italy,” Stone told DailyMail.com in July. “I think that’s an intelligent construct at this time. This is one of the first times in my life that I’ve actually seen anyone running for office on a platform of hate and oppression.”

Music icon Cher made clear the drastic steps she would take if Trump were to fight his way into the White House again before he had even claimed victory in the election.
“I almost got an ulcer the last time,” she told the Guardian in 2023. “If he gets in, who knows? This time I will leave” the country.
The singer is not the only star to have laid bare her plans to emigrate before the election even took place. Raven-Symoné said on “The View” in 2016 that she and her wife, Miranda Maday, would move if a Republican won again.
Her choice of refuge? Canada.
“My confession for this election is if any Republican gets nominated, I’m going to move to Canada with my entire family,” she said. “I already have my ticket. I literally bought my ticket, I swear.”
America Ferrera is also reportedly set on pursuing a life away from the U.S., with sources claiming that she is looking to the U.K. as a new home base, along with her husband, Ryan Piers Williams, and their two children, son Sebastian, 6, and daughter Lucia, 4.
“America is sick that Donald Trump is President again,” one insider claimed to DailyMail.com. “She is devastated that Kamala [Harris] lost. She thought the country she lived in was better than that.”
In July, Minnie Driver told The Times of London that she was going back to the U.K. after nearly three decades in Los Angeles.
The 54-year-old actress, who has lived in Los Angeles for more than two decades, said in July of this year that she “couldn’t” see herself living in a Republican-run state.
“Living in California, you are somewhat insulated,” she said. “But do you want to go and live in a bubble? Do you run away from the fire or do you go back and help?”

She added that she felt more “hopeful” about her prospects in the U.K., despite the country also going through a period of political upheaval.
“I am more hopeful,” she continued. “For all the division in the U.K., there just seems to be a more robust connection between us. We have this discourse. We talk about it, and we laugh about it. We don’t pull out guns and shoot each other about it.”
“The View” host Whoopi Goldberg has repeatedly said on the show that she often considers moving out of the U.S.
“Maybe it’s time for me to move, you know,” she said. “I can afford to go.”
Cardi B. hinted in a recent post that she wanted to leave the country: “And that’s word to the United States of mother f***king America.”
Billionaire Tesla founder Elon Musk‘s transgender daughter, Vivian Wilson, also joined the crowds of high-profile people promising to relocate in the wake of Trump’s election.
She doesn’t “see her future being in the United States,” Wilston stated in a Threads post.
“I’ve thought this for a while, but yesterday confirmed it for me,” she began her post. “I don’t see my future being in the United States. Even if [Trump is] only in office for four years, even if the anti-trans regulations magically don’t happen, the people who willingly voted this in are not going anywhere anytime soon.”
While some stars have already revealed where they plan to relocate, those who haven’t might want to consider one of the 10 places that were named as being the best for American expats in a recent InterNations survey.
Those places in question include Panama City, Budapest, the French countryside, Belize, and Phuket, Thailand, which all offer low housing rates and easy ways to gain residency by proving small incomes.
In addition to housing, many of these spots have a strong economy, an expanding tourism industry, and universal health care.
But in addition to moving to a country or city where the politics are better aligned with your personal views, what other advantages can be gained from relocating? One upside is that many countries are more affordable than the U.S.
As for how to secure your entry into another country, there are a few means by which Americans can go about it, including securing a visa, procuring a “golden visa” (which is given to those who invest in real estate in exchange for residency), and relying on ancestry links.
According to immigration attorney Jean-Francois Harvey, of Harvey Law Group, inquiries about relocating abroad have spiked this year. And even a small budget can be enough to purchase a home in Spain, Portugal, or the Netherlands.
