Ye’s Unusual Mansions: Inside the Life of Pablo

Kanye West has regularly compared himself to people like Walt Disney, Michelangelo, Da Vinci, Steve Jobs, and many other legends. Even though Ye has earned millions of dollars through his music, he achieved the coveted billionaire status due to his fashion line’s success and profitable contract with Adidas. Every time Adidas sells a ‘Yeezy’ sneaker, Kanye gets a cut. 

Recently, Ye was in the news for the latest album ‘Donda 2’ exhibiting his ability to experiment with the new territory while also indicating his recent acceptance of evangelical Christianity. 

Also, his divorce from Kim Kardashian has caused quite a stir in his property portfolio and intrigued interest in Kanye West’s house investments.

He spends this money on everything, from exotic supercars to massive mansions. Ye stated earlier that he wants to revolutionise the housing sector, as he has done with the music industry. Therefore, it is no surprise that Kanye has an extensive real estate portfolio of over $100 million. 

Kanye’s Journey to the Top

Kanye West made his debut in 2004 when he released his first album, ‘The College Dropout’- an immense success. Since then, he has launched 11 more albums, reinventing his style with each one.

Ye’s creativity and unique approach to music has helped mould the “chipmunk soul” sampling style and other new styles into modern-day music. Further, he has also won 21 Grammy awards, outnumbering every other rap artist in the world. Even though he might not be the ‘greatest artist of all time’ like he has regularly claimed, Kanye indeed has an illustrious career that is genuine success in itself.

Kanye’s Property Empire

One thing is for sure, Kanye always likes to do something big, which holds for his property investments. Throughout his career, he has built himself a property empire worth almost $100 million in value. Let’s take a look at some of the luxurious properties that Kanye has invested in over the years:

$4.5 Million Home in San Fernando Valley

Kanye has recently acquired a 5-bedroom apartment worth $4.5 million in Hidden Hills, California. This humble yet exquisite home spans over 3,600 square feet, is built on over 1 acre of land and boasts of a stable on the property.

The property has regal cream-coloured carpets and gorgeous wooden panelling in the entire house.

The family room has royal oak wooden flooring and large windows, ensuring that the inhabitants get ample sunlight and fresh air when required. Further, it also features a large stone fireplace with beautiful wooden sliding doors that lead to the family pool.

This property also has a beautiful kitchen designed in a rustic style and a large island with granite countertops. It is also equipped with all the latest kitchen appliances.

The house has an independent 2-car garage with its guest room and a dedicated walkway to the three-stall stable on the property. 

Its front lawn was recently replaced with a supremely green drought tolerant AstroTurf, which is more than just a necessity in the blistering San Fernando Valley heat.

Futuristic $57 Million Malibu Mansion

Kanye also invested $57 million on a stunning Malibu property that reportedly has four bedrooms and boasts amazing ocean views. This 4,000 square feet house was designed by the renowned Japanese architect Tadao Ando. The house has three floors, including a roof-suite that offers views of the ocean’s vastness.

The futuristic design is truly a testament to Kanye’s undying taste for minimalism. The neutral design of this property is undoubtedly a stark contrast to his Calabasas mansion, which he has often referred to as a ‘futuristic Belgian monastery’. Even though there are no interior photos, it is safe to believe it would be gorgeous inside.

$60 Million Minimalist Mansion

Kanye also purchased a minimalist paradise in Calabasas, which he rebuilt from the ground up. Even though there is not a lot of detail about the property, we have a few pictures from a house tour Kim Kardashian gave in 2019.

The property’s sitting area has two sophisticated curved sofas and a grand piano against the giant floor to ceiling windows.

The living area also stays in tune with the rest of the house; and has similar beige colour sofas adjacent to the giant TV that adorns the wall.

The cosy breakfast nook of the house is something dreams are made of. This room features various windows that provide a scenic view of the tranquil garden.

Kanye’s Eccentric Car Collection

Fueling his dreams for automobiles, Ye has an eclectic collection of cars that surely reflect the rapper’s music style. Let’s check out some of the amazing cars in his garage:

Maybach 57

The first car in Kanye’s car collection is the beautiful Maybach 57, with a minimum starting price of $173,000. This absolute beast has a 6 litre V 12 engine and is regularly featured in the debate of the fastest cars in the world.

Lamborghini Gallardo

This white Italian supercar was Kanye’s first Lamborghini, which would have cost the rapper anywhere between $150,000 to $190,000. This ultimate supercar has the potential to reach unreal speeds of up to 309 km/h.

Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren

Even though this car may not be as fast as it looks, this collaboration between British and German manufacturers exudes style and class. The car has gullwing windows, which attracted Kanye to this engineering work of art. With more than 600-horsepower under the hood, this car can touch a top speed of 207 km/h.

In a Nutshell

Kanye lives the life that most people in his generation can only dream of, which can be seen in the rapper’s luxurious property investments. He is fond of owning multi-million-dollar mansions and has a property portfolio that sparks interest. The music mogul’s real estate path has often progressed parallel to his music career. He continues to be the star of billboards while continuously expanding his diverse real estate empire.
