Kim Kardashian has purchased a $70 million oceanfront mansion in Malibu after her highly publicized divorce from Kanye West.
The entrepreneur and reality television celebrity put down $70.4 million for the mansion on the Encinal Bluffs, once owned by supermodel Cindy Crawford and her husband, Rande Gerber.
Reports said it is the largest real estate transaction in Malibu this year and will rank fourth in California in 2022.
Kim’s new house is over 7,000 square feet and has four bedrooms and five and a half baths.
Adam Weiss, a retired hedge fund manager, paid $45 million for the house in 2018, and while he lived there, the landscaping was updated. Weiss had listed it for $99.5 million in March before lowering it to $90 million before receiving a lesser bid from Kim.
Before Weiss bought the 3.2 acres of the land, it was a big 6-acre estate divided into two. Before Weiss, Cindy Crawford was the land’s owner.
Ye’s $57 million villa is still under construction and is only 14 miles up the coast from Kim’s new house. His 4,000 square foot beachside property was created by renowned architect Tadao Ando and has a very Kanye-like brutalist design.
Among other A-listers who will live close by to Kim are Michael Eisner, Neil Diamond, and Leonardo DiCaprio.
