How many houses does he own?
The 80-year-old sold his £3.5m Berkshire mansion after claiming it was "defiled" by cops.

In February 2017 we reported that he was selling off his award-winning vineyard in Portugal.
It was revealed in January 2020 that Sir Cliff put his Barbados mansion, located in the Sugar Hill estate, up for sale for £6.8million.
The property was first listed in December 2017 but the price for the Caribbean retreat was only available on application. It was then taken off the market but was re-advertised last December.
