John Travolta's House
John Travolta, apart from being an occasionally awesome actor and a Scientology nut, also has the dubious distinction of having one of the world's only noncommercial airports...in his backyard. John Travolta moved to Jumbolair, the world's only "fly-in living community."

Apparently, he used to have an airstrip near his old house, but was sued by his neighbors and then moved to Jumbolair.
According to the Federal Aviation Administration pilot database, Travolta is qualified in several types of single and multi-engine aircraft, and has the highest pilot medical certification possible. “We know that Travolta's an accomplished pilot. A lot of people fly for the pleasure of it, and he's one of them,” said John Clabes, an FAA spokesman. “If you have this many ratings on these types of high-performance aircraft, you're obviously a good pilot.”
Here's a link to an Architectural Digest article with lots of imagery, and an air trip video over his house.

How long before they build one in Dubai?
