Kanye West’s beachfront mansion in Malibu, USA, remains unvisited despite being officially listed for sale since last year. It’s known that the rapper purchased this mansion in 2021 for nearly $60 million USD.
According to TMZ, the mansion spans over 3,000 square meters and is divided into 3 floors: the ground floor features 3 rooms, the middle floor is a communal space, and the top floor houses the master bedroom. The luxurious villa, totaling 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, offers views overlooking the Pacific Ocean but has relatively few windows.
Initially, Kanye West’s mansion was listed for sale at $53 million USD, but the price has now been reduced to $39 million USD, less than 4 months after its initial public listing. This indicates that there seems to be little interest in this venture by the 70s rapper.
They were designed by Japanese architect Tadao Ando, a Pritzker Prize laureate, and built by engineer Marmol Radziner. The house was previously owned by financial executive Richard Sachs, the ex-husband of Ashley Olsen. Kanye purchased the villa for $57.3 million USD after transferring his old house to Kim Kardashian.
Kanye West is one of the most successful rappers of all time, having won 24 prestigious Grammy Awards. He once had a fortune of $6.6 billion USD, surpassing Jay-Z to become the wealthiest star in the hip-hop industry. However, after the irreparable “mouthful” scandals, Kanye’s reputation and wealth have dwindled considerably. Now, he only appears in the headlines with negative news and “provocative” behavior alongside his new wife – Bianca Censori.
Before their divorce, the billionaire couple and their children lived in a 1,455-square-meter mansion in Hidden Hills, California, USA. They purchased the house in 2014 for $20 million USD and spent an additional $20 million USD on renovations over 4 years. Kardashian’s mother, Kris Jenner, claimed the value of the estate reached $60 million USD at that time.
In recently revealed photos, the transparent glass windows installed from ceiling to floor in the mansion have been removed. Inside the house appears desolate, with rusted metal railings corroded from exposure to salt air, wind, and water. Neighbors in West’s Malibu neighborhood told TMZ that the singer’s mansion has become dilapidated, and they haven’t seen anyone visit the house for many months.
Once a famous and influential rapper in Hollywood, Kanye West now faces unforeseen consequences due to his outrageous statements, directly affecting both his career and marital life.
2022 marked a downfall for Kanye West as he officially divorced Kim Kardashian after nearly 7 years of marriage. Not only that, he also lost a significant amount of valuable assets. Forbes magazine revoked the billionaire title of the Eazy singer on October 25, 2022, immediately after he lost collaboration with the sportswear brand Adidas. At the same time, both GAP and Balenciaga announced the termination of contracts with the notorious rapper.
