Nationwide — Kanye West, the 47-year-old rapper and fashion designer, is making headlines with the purchase of a $35 million mansion in Beverly Hills. The expansive property spans 20,000 square feet and boasts 11 bedrooms, 18 bathrooms, and luxurious amenities across nearly seven acres, according to property records obtained by TMZ. His move to the exclusive gated community, Beverly Park, places him among other celebrities like Hailey and Justin Bieber, marking a significant real estate acquisition.
This purchase comes shortly after West sold his previous Malibu estate for around $21 million—a substantial loss from the $57.3 million he originally paid in 2021. Known for its stripped-down look, the Malibu property was intended to resemble a “bomb shelter,” a vision that involved removing its plumbing, electricity, windows, and doors. This unorthodox design attracted attention but eventually proved impractical, and West opted to sell. Belwood Investments acquired the property on September 26, with plans to restore the once-gutted home.
West’s new Beverly Hills residence features a separate entertainment pavilion connected to the main house, as well as an array of lavish amenities. The sprawling backyard includes a pool house, cascading waterfalls, a gazebo, and a paddle tennis court. The residence represents a return to a more traditional luxury property after his ambitious but ultimately challenging Malibu project.
Meanwhile, West and his wife, Bianca Censori, have been the subject of ongoing divorce rumors. Sources report that the couple, who secretly married shortly after West finalized his divorce from Kim Kardashian, may be facing marital challenges despite their recent public appearances together, such as his album launch in Tokyo.
Adding to his challenges, West is currently embroiled in a legal battle. His former assistant, Lauren Pisciotta, who worked with him from 2021 to 2022, has filed a lawsuit against him. Pisciotta alleges that West drugged and sexually assaulted her during a studio session he co-hosted with Sean “Diddy” Combs, a claim that builds upon a previous wrongful termination suit she filed, citing instances of explicit messages and harassment.
West’s legal team has denied Pisciotta’s allegations, with plans to countersue. As these legal and personal matters unfold, West appears to be refocusing on his new Beverly Hills property, leaving behind the complexities of his Malibu renovation and shifting towards a fresh start in an elite neighborhood.
