Rihanna buys a condo in Sky-High Century City for an undisclosed amount and welcomes a new member.
Since 2014, Rihanna has made The Century, one of the most costly residential skyscrapers in Los Angeles, her permanent home.
She feels a little overburdened in her three-bedroom, 3,500-square-foot home with a new baby and another child on the way, staff, and her ever-present entourage.
In order to address this issue, the superstar from Barbados spent $21 million to purchase a penthouse, one of the largest residences in The Century, which takes up the full 40th level.
This sprawl is fit for an A-list celebrity, offering nearly 9,000 square feet of living space, a number of distinctive features, and breathtaking views.
Billionaire and co-founder of the digital startup Afterpay, Nick Molnar, sold the home after first asking for $28 million.
But since the deal was finalized on March 31, a day ahead of the new tax’s implementation, Rihanna probably used L.A.’s mansion tax as leverage to get a significant reduction. Molnar would have owing an extra $1.1 million in taxes if the deal had been completed in April.
Upon exiting the private elevator landing into the condo’s entrance gallery, visitors are astounded by the living area’s curved wall of floor to ceiling windows, which provide views of the city skyline. The dining room’s dark brown hardwood floors continue into the white kitchen, which features two islands, marble worktops, and high-end appliances.
Along with a soundproof movie theater with velour sofas, the property also boasts a master suite with a curved bedroom, two custom closets, two bathrooms, and a separate lounge. The condo’s four distinct outdoor terraces, which face north, south, east, and west and offer magnificent views of the Pacific Ocean, Catalina Island, Downtown Los Angeles skyscrapers, the San Gabriel mountains, and even the snow-capped Mount Baldy, are likely its most outstanding feature.
Rihanna’s $8,814 monthly HOA fee gives her access to all of the building’s best features, which include four deeded garage parking spaces, a 24-hour concierge, security guards, an outdoor pool and lush gardens, on-site storage, an on-site restaurant, conference rooms, and much more.
