Kanye West Sells Malibu Mansion for $21 Million

Kanye West, also known as Ye, sold his Malibu mansion, originally purchased for $57.3 million in 2021, for $21 million after making extensive and controversial renovations. The Tadao Ando-designed home was stripped of essential features like windows, doors, electricity, and plumbing, with plans to convert it into a bomb shelter. These alterations were widely criticized by the new owner, Bo Belmont of Belwood Investments, who plans to invest $6-$8 million to restore the house to its original design. Belmont criticized West's modifications as 'dumb' and 'purposeless.' The sale, brokered by 'Selling Sunset' star Jason Oppenheim, marked a significant financial loss for West. Belmont aims to work with the original architect for the restoration to maintain the architectural integrity of the property.
