Rapper, producer, serial entrepreneur, and infamous public figure Kanye West just dropped $53.7M on a new house amid constant rumors about his relationship with Kim Kardashian. The billionaire chose to purchase a plain looking house in Malibu, California, for what most seem to think will be his new getaway pad. The house is reportedly 3,665 square feet and almost looks like a fortress from the outside. Award-winning architect Tadao Ando gets the credit for designing Yeezy’s new concrete fortress.
Users on social media have been less than impressed with the purchase ever since the purchase was revealed to the public late Sunday night. West’s new crib was even referred to as a “parking garage” by one user on Zillow’s Instagram. The official buyer was Shore Drive Holdings, a company listed as having the same address as Kanye West’s Yeezy clothing line. The property was originally listed at around $70 million dollars but has come down since its initial market listing.
The three-story Puerco Beachfront crib was built on a 0.13-acre beachfront back in 2013. It’s amenities include a large glass door facing the beach, a multiple car garage, four bedrooms and five bathrooms, according to city records. The home was previously owned by Richard Sachs, Ashley Olsen’s former boyfriend. Kanye also recently moved to officially change his legal name to Ye.
