Kanye West has reportedly secured a $35 million mansion in Beverly Hills, California. The move into real estate came when the rapper converted his former Malibu home into a “bomb shelter”. Kanye’s new property which spans over 20,000 yards is located in the gated Beverly Park North neighborhood, reports TMZ. The home was purchased in an off-market deal under an LLC.

Kanye’s new mansion in Beverly Hills
The rapper’s new property is spread over seven acres of land and has 11 bedrooms and 18 bathrooms. It also features a resort-style pool with a waterfall, a pool house, a second lap pool with a tennis court, and an “entertainment pavilion,” Page Six reports. The purchase comes a month after the Yeezy founder sold his dilapidated Malibu home for $21 million.
According to TMZ, he purchased the home in 2021 for $57 million, but the sale at the lower price probably followed his failed attempt to convert the mansion into a “1910s bomb shelter.” The rapper removed all the windows and electricity in the house in his failed attempt. In December, he listed the mansion for $53 million with the help of Selling Sunset star Jason Oppenheim.
The musician’s project faced legal trouble due to a lawsuit filed by his project manager Tony Saxon. Saxon claimed that the composer violated multiple labor codes and disregarded professional advice regarding the removal of the windows from the project.

Kanye’s Malibu lawsuit and renewal
Earlier, Saxon’s lawyer, Neema Rahman, had expressed excitement about Kanye selling his house as its profits could be used to pay off the $1 million allegedly owed by Saxon. In a statement she said, “Tony worked as a construction project manager and 24/7 security guard while Kanye’s home was being destroyed, and Kanye violated numerous labor codes and employment laws in the process. Put him in hell.”
He added, “This house was ‘a Picasso on the water’ before Kanye ordered Tony to tear it down. So, while we’re pleased that Kanye may finally have the money to meet his obligations to Mr. Saxon, buyers beware.
Bo Belmont, owner of Bellwood Investments, the new owner of the Malibu property, told the Los Angeles Times, “My goal is to make it as if Kanye was never there. The house will be brought back to how it was.” He plans to invest $8 million in renovation works on the house.
