Lady Gaga's Posh Hamptons House-Hunt

Hamptons crowd prepares for the spectacle.

We reported Tuesday that Lady Gaga had debuted on the list of Forbes 100 most powerful celebrities. Now that we know Gaga's 2009 salary, this new report that she's house-hunting in the Hamptons comes as no surprise! We have the details on the mansions that Gaga's seeking out.

Last week it was reported that while Lady Gaga was enjoying (er, over-enjoying) some time off in New York City, she took a trip to the east side of Long Island to visit the uber-posh seaside resort that is the Hamptons.

It's reported that Gaga toured "prime properties" in Water Mill, Sagaponack and Bridgehampton and that she seeks a "very upscale" home near the Atlantic Ocean. Apparently Gaga is working with realtor Linda Haugevik, who recently sold Richard Gere's Water Mill property for $5.9 million.

It's reported that Gaga's major requirement for a home is an extreme degree of privacy. Considering her recent lapdance rendezvous in a strip club with an old flame, it's no wonder Lady Gaga wants to keep to herself!

Check out our Lady Gaga slideshow -- can you imagine her in the Hamptons? Well, yes: of the 55,000 people who are said to live in Southampton, the median salary is a reported $65,000. Lady Gaga's 2009 earnings were almost a hundred times that!
