Kanye West splashes $35M on Beverly Hills mega-mansion after failed Malibu ‘bomb shelter’: report

Kanye West has reportedly purchased a $35 million mansion in Beverly Hills, Calif., after remodeling his former Malibu estate into a “bomb shelter.”

The “Heartless” rapper snagged the 20,000-square foot property in the gated Beverly Park North neighborhood, TMZ reported Monday.

The 11-bedroom, 18-bathroom home sits on about seven acres of land and features a resort-style pool with a waterfall, a second lap pool, a pool house, a tennis court and an “entertainment pavilion.”

According to the outlet, West, 47, bought the mansion under an LLC in an off-market deal.

A lawyer for the Grammy winner wasn’t immediately available to Page Six for comment.

The “Bound 2” rapper, who snagged the home in 2021 for $57 million, initially listed the concrete-built property for $53 million in December with the help of “Selling Sunset” star Jason Oppenheim.

The low offer on the beachfront home was likely due to West removing all of the windows and electricity in a failed attempt to turn the mansion into a “bomb shelter from the 1910s,” per TMZ.

The musician’s project reportedly led to legal issues with his project manager Tony Saxon, who sued the hitmaker for allegedly violating several labor codes and going against advice to remove the windows.

At the time, Saxon’s lawyer, Neama Rahman, said she was happy to learn that West was selling the home, so the profits could help pay the alleged $1 million Saxon was owed.

“Tony worked as the construction project manager and 24/7 security guard when Kanye was having the home gutted, and Kanye put him through hell, violating numerous labor codes and employment laws in the process,” Rahman said in a statement.

“This house was ‘a Picasso on the water’ before Kanye ordered Tony to rip it apart. So, while we’re pleased Kanye may finally have the money to fulfill his obligations to Mr. Saxon, buyer beware.”

In September, the home’s buyer, Belwood Investments owner Bo Belmont, told the Los Angeles Times he plans to spend around $8 million to renovate the destroyed Malibu property.

“My goal is to make it as though Kanye was never there. The house will be restored right back to what it was,” Belmont said.

The businessman further described West’s past vision as “really dumb” with “no purpose.”
