By the time the fifth season of American Idol had finished airing in 2006, there was no denying the fact that Chris Daughtry was going to be a star. This newly found fame, however, was not enough to cause Chris to spend the fortune that he had worked so hard for, on an unnecessarily large house. Instead, he did the opposite.

In 2006, Chris and his wife settled on a 4-bed house with 3.5 bathrooms that cost a little under $700,000. The Daughtry’s 3,782-square-foot home in Oak Ridge, North Carolina, had its own golf course and saltwater swimming pool, however, in 2011, the time finally came when the Daughtry’s 4 children needed rooms of their own, and the musician’s family moved to a larger place.
