Kanye West listing gutted beachfront Malibu home for $53 million

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:34:43 GMT

Ye, aka Kanye West, is taking a hefty financial hit in listing a beachfront Malibu home he purchased in 2021 for $57.3 million, according to multiple reports.  The 4,000 square foot, four-bedroom property was designed by famed Japanese architect Tadao Ando.  While there aren’t a lot of Ando-designed homes in the United States, his name might ring a bell. The Japanese architect designed a house in the Paradise Cove area of Malibu, aptly nicknamed Billionaires’ Row, that was purchased by Beyoncé and husband Jay-Z for $200 million earlier this year.  That sale was billed as the most expensive home ever sold in California.  But back to Ye’s Malibu home, which he has decided to sell for $53 million after having the property gutted for a remodel.  “What’s missing are the interiors,” celebrity real-estate agent Jason Oppenheim told The Hollywood Reporter. The Selling Sunset real-estate broker is listing West’s house exclusively. He told the entertainment outlet that whi...
