Tom Cruises $10M over-the-top Florida penthouse near Scientology headquarters revealed in new nev
TOM Cruise's lavish $10million Florida penthouse apartment has been revealed in never-before-seen photos.
The Top Gun actor's sprawling vacation property, which is located just a few blocks from the Church of Scientology headquarters in Clearwater, Florida, in 2017.
Photos snapped from above show massive floor-to-ceiling windows lining an entire section of the apartment.
It also captures several balcony areas and the palatial outdoor area.
Tom's apartment, located in The SkyView building, features more than 20,000 square feet of space and two floors, the Tampa Bay Times reported.
According to the outlet, the building was altered to accommodate the mega-star.

Tom's Clearwater home also includes a private garage with a car elevator on the second floor.
It's also been reported that there is a flight simulator on that level.

Additionally, the Oblivion star has an office space and a sports storage area.
According to Realtor.com, the building Tom lives in was developed by fellow Scientologist Moises Agami.
Tom has been a member of the controversial church since 1986.
Along with that home, he is said to have paid an additional $1,475,000 for three other condos in the same building.
It's unclear who lives in those spaces, however.
BULKING UP
Tom has a hefty staff of people on his payroll, including several security guards.
In October 2022, the actor was forced to beef up his security amid a bitter legal battle with a former employee.
The award-winning actor and his director Christopher McQuarrie brought in an increased security presence after a disgruntled employee took aim at them after being let go from their productions.
At the time, Vanity Fair reported that the dispute kicked off after a stunt producer was told his services were no longer needed, leaving him angry and Tom and Christopher afraid of more payback to come.
The man had been hired to scout locations for stunts including a major train crash scene, though his plans were never implemented in the films.
The pair reportedly brought in heavyweight security guards to keep them safe amid concerns about the scorned stunt actor.
A source said at the time: “Tom and Chris are still working on Mission: Impossible 8, mostly in the UK, but things have got increasingly unpleasant with a former crew member and now it’s a case of taking no chances.
“It’s a bit of art imitating life, on set it’s all about heavy protection and threats and now the same thing is going on behind the cameras.
“Tom is used to having security teams around him most of the time because of his fame.
“But for Chris it’s a very new thing. Nobody is taking any chances.”
A source added: “It’s all turned very nasty, but those involved in the films are confident everything is totally fine, he’s just an angry ex-staff member.”
COLLECTING PROPERTIES
Tom has several properties in addition to his Clearwater, Florida home.
He has property in Telluride, Colorado, that he purchased and held onto for a long time before selling it for a jaw-dropping $39.5million in 2021.
The 320-acre ranch was the location of his first major interview with Oprah, who later bought a home nearby.
It was set in a mountain range and features a mile-long driveway and gated entrance.
The home boasted 360-degree views and an 11,512-square-foot living space with four bedrooms.
There's also a three-bedroom guest house.
Both the main home and guest house are paneled with windows.
The interior is clad with cedar wood and large boulder stone accenting.

There is a large kitchen with a wooden island, a double oven, and a massive fridge.
That space opens up to a massive living room and dining room with enough seating for a small crowd.
