Her rumored one-thousand-plus shoe collection includes many pricey Manolos and is valued at over $2 million. However, she has no preferences when it comes to fashion designers.

2. Mariah Carey

Mariah's collection of shoes fills an entire closet and is said to be worth way more than a million dollars. It must take her forever to choose a pair of shoes for a special occasion with so many options. Perhaps, she buys new ones for every event instead of looking at her closet, adding a new pair to her already extensive collection!
We have noticed that Mariah uses high heels almost all the time. Quite an effort!
1. Celine Dion
The most impressive on our list is held by the Canadian singer and style icon. Her assortment of footwear is as one-of-a-kind as she is. She has close to ten thousand pairs of shoes, including anything from brightly colored pumps to sculptural heels. Depending on the rarity and quality of each pair,
Celine clearly loves shoes and is quick to make a fashion statement with her selections. Celine pumps are usually adorned with intricate designs. Even when there are no reports of Celine Dion publicly showing her shoe closet., given the size and rumored value of her shoe collection, it's safe to assume that her shoe closet is nothing short of impressive..
Now you know which Hollywood actresses have the ten best shoe collections, right ladies? These ladies know how to sport killer shoes, from Mariah Carey's diva-worthy heels to Sarah Jessica Parker's Manolos. Did you think you have far too many shoes, by chance?
While most of us don't have the means or storage space for such extensive shoe collections, we can nevertheless respect and admire their dedication to the hobby. Shoes are sometimes overlooked, but they can completely transform an outfit.
Even when not ranked in this list, it is well known that Paris Hilton has an amazing shoe collection, but the number of pairs and the estimated value are unknown. Lastly, Without including Imelda Marcos, no discussion of famous people's shoe collections would be complete. Imelda Marcos is not a celebrity per-se. She is the ex-first Lady of the Philippines and is known to have over 3,000 pairs of shoes in her collection. She supposedly had a museum dedicated to her footwear after a great scandal ending with her husband's dismissal. Even if her collection is more of a horde than a collection, the significant number of shoes she has acquired over the years is remarkable.
You might be wondering where these famous people keep all of their shoes. Some people have rooms just for shoes, while others have walk-in closets with floor-to-ceiling shelves and glass displays. But let's be honest, most of us can't afford or don't have room for a celebrity-level shoe collection. So, how can we satisfy our shoe obsession without going into debt? Here are some suggestions:
Make use of any and every available space by getting inventive. If you don't have room for a traditional shoe closet, you'll need to get creative with keeping your footwear. An over-the-door shoe rack or a repurposed bookcase might be used to show off your collection.
Mind your footwear. If you take good care of your shoes, they will last longer and retain their appearance. Maintain their form with regular cleaning and polishing, and consider purchasing shoe trees or inserts.
Final thought: we may never have celebrity-level shoe collections, but we can still respect and adore them. And who knows, maybe with little ingenuity and thrift, we might amass our own spectacular shoe collections. A woman, after all, can never have an excessive number of footwear items.
