After capping the 2021 season with a Super Bowl win for the Los Angeles Rams, cornerback Jalen Ramsey‘s performance seemed to justify the five-year, $105 million contract he signed with the team in 2020.
But that same contract spelled salary-cap trouble, following a woeful 2022 season for the Rams. As such, Ramsey was traded to the Miami Dolphins for a draft pick in March. And while the trade means a change of coasts, at least Ramsey will continue to reside in a sunny clime.
As a result of the deal, Ramsey is selling his knockout 10,100-square-foot mansion in Hidden Hills, CA, for $13,995,000. If he snags that amount, he’ll make out nicely. Ramsey bought the seven-bedroom home (which includes a recently added guesthouse) in 2020 for $9.5 million.
The property offers amenities galore, including a basketball court, home gym, sauna for post-workout aches, gaming room, move theater, wine cellar, and a training hill built into the backyard for sprinting practice.
Privacy and serenity are guaranteed in this swanky, guard-gated community—an area that’s famously populated by celebrities and captains of industry.
This masterpiece of a home features three levels of posh details, such as Italian marble and white oak floors. An open layout allows seamless movement from room to sun-filled room.

—
There are fireplaces in the living area and primary bedroom, which has a two-sided version with a mini living room on one side. The primary bath is immense, with a standalone soaker and walk-in shower.
But the outdoor spaces might be even more amazing than the house itself, thanks to the many full-sized trees, terraced gardens, huge pool, and built-in barbecue area.
Ramsey starred in college at Florida State before he was drafted by the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2016. His seven seasons in the NFL have been impressive: He’s garnered 375 solo tackles, 77 assists, 19 interceptions, and one Super Bowl ring.
In today’s modern world, the house goals of yesteryear are a distant memory.
Long gone are the days of window shutters, oversized crystal chandeliers, multiple small rooms, intricate designs, wrought-iron railings, small windows, and large porches with overhanging beams.
Modern mansions favor simple and clean designs with open spaces.
While traditional mansions offer intricate and elegant details, today’s luxury homes feature straight lines, geometric shapes, a flat or low-sloped roof, and clean exteriors with little to no texture.
Luxurious homes of the past featured building materials such as brick, wood, plaster, stucco, and stone. Meanwhile, contemporary mansions favor newer, more technologically-advanced building materials including reinforced steel and concrete.
And windows, lots and lots of floor-to-ceiling windows.
Sophisticated smart homes are all the rage, as are connected outdoor spaces, white rooms and simple color palettes, open floor plans, glass walls allowing for ample natural light, green features, security settings, and the utmost privacy.
While traditional mansions typically featured a number of small, single-purpose rooms, modern floor plans include seamless open-ended spaces.
After all, one cannot be confined to small spaces while living that luxurious lifestyle!

A chateau-style home set within a one-hour drive to the nation’s capital is eyeing a $15.9 million sale — and has all the goods to deliver.
The sprawling property is nestled on the banks of the Severn River at 938 Old County Rd — which is only 10 minutes from Annapolis — and comes with 900 feet of waterfront, a 350-foot pier, a majestic main residence, and a 6,000-square-foot guest house.
When it last sold back in 2014, the property nabbed one of the Top 10 spots in a Washington Post ranking of the most expensive homes sold in the D.C. area that year. And it’s easy to see why.

The property, which is currently listed with Day Weitzman of Coldwell Banker Realty (the Annapolis Church Circle office) for a whopping $15,900,000, is anchored by a stately French-inspired main residence.
Built in 2002, the palatial house boasts 16,621 square feet of luxuriously appointed living space, including a family room with stone fireplace, billiards room and bar, stone wine cellar and tasting room, media room, home gym with full bath and sauna, and a full bedroom suite.
It has a total of 6 bedrooms, 8 full baths, and 3 half baths, and includes a separate wing with an art studio/craft room and a motor court with two three-car garages.
But words may fail to express the grandeur of this estate, so we’ll let the property photos do the talking:

All the hard work is paying off for Khalifa, and he’s making the move to a bigger, even more glamorous home than the one he’s occupied for the past three years.
The rapper has listed his modern mansion in Encino with Alan Tayor of Compass & and Brian Capossela with Cap Equity for $4,495,000.

Khalifa paid $3.4 million for the property when he purchased it back in 2019, and he didn’t have to make any significant upgrades or renovations — the home was gorgeous from the get-go.

Wiz Khalifa is not parting ways, however, with Encino.
He recently paid $7.6 million for another, even bigger mansion in the same area, according to Architectural Digest. Khalifa and his son will be the very first residents of the 8,029-square-foot farmhouse property.
The 6-bedroom, 5-bathroom, 5,875-square-foot home sits in the quiet, celebrity-heavy neighborhood of Encino and represents quintessential Cali living, seamlessly blending modern and classic elements.

While the architecture is simple, straightforward, and boxy, the warm wood paneling on the exterior softens it up and gives it a beautiful modern look.
The beautiful home South of The Boulevard offers complete privacy, which is perfect for celebrities like Khalifa, who are always followed by fans and the prying eyes of the paparazzi.
Outside, there is a gorgeous swimming pool with a firepit, lounging area, an outdoor spa, and a concrete BBQ center — perfect for entertaining guests.
Inside, guests are greeted by a grand foyer boasting a floating staircase and soaring ceilings bathed in abundant natural light.

You step into a spacious, formal living area that gives off 100% carefree Cali living vibes without even trying.
Nearby is a home theater that’s ideal for watching favorite movies with friends and family, as well as a guest suite and a powder room.
The main family room is equally cozy and impressive, boasting custom built-ins, a 100-bottle wine bar, a sharp wood-clad fireplace, and floor-to-ceiling glass pocket doors that help you bring the outdoors indoors.

The chef-level kitchen is absolutely stunning, again bathed in abundant sunlight, featuring Miele appliances, custom lacquer cabinets, a walk-in pantry, a butler’s pass through the dining room, as well as a cozy breakfast nook overlooking the private grounds.

Going upstairs, you have six gorgeous, spacious bedrooms, as well as a teen lounge or a home office that connects to an outdoor terrace and wraparound balcony overlooking Santa Susana’s.
There’s also a primary retreat area with a bar and fridge, a custom fireplace, a large sleeping room with a lounge area, a walk-in center island closet, a spa-style bath, a spacious standing shower and tub, and huge balconies with views of the yard.

For outdoor enthusiasts, there’s also a sports court next to the swimming pool where you can shoot hoops and get some exercise in the California sun.
There’s also a pool cabana that can easily be converted into a home gym, a studio, or a lounging area.

There are plenty of parking spaces, including 2 covered parking spaces and 6 additional parking spaces for guests.
The home is wired for sound and features smart features like state-of-the-art security cameras and multi-zoned Nest heating and air.

One of the most exquisite private homes in the entire San Diego area is now up for grabs.
Those of you who have a passion for architecture will have probably heard the name Richard Requa before. His firm, Requa and Jackson, was arguably the busiest architecture company in the 1920s in San Diego.
Whenever you see a charming, classic Spanish Revival property as you’re driving or walking around the city, chances are it was designed by Requa.
The architect was heavily influenced and inspired by the Andalusia area of Spain, and his works tend to reflect this. Requa even developed a signature style, known today as ‘Southern California Architecture.
Photo credit: Michael Andrew Photography
The Old Globe Theater in Balboa Park, the D. E. Mann House at 1045 Loma Avenue in Coronado, the Del Mar Castle – these are some of Requa’s most well-known works, and they all showcase his unique, laid-back, Spanish-inspired Californian style.
Another one of Richard Requa’s iconic projects is the William A. Gunn House, located at 1127 F Avenue in Coronado.
It was designed by Requa and Jackson, with Milton P. Sessions serving as landscape architect, and completed in 1925 for Michigan furniture maker W.A. Gunn.
It’s one of the most beautiful examples of Requa’s Southern California Architecture, and it’s now looking for a new owner whose pockets run $39 million deep.
How Coronado Castle’s current owner Brian Mariotti took Requa’s design into the 21st Century
The jaw dropping mansion at 1127 F Avenue is also known as the Coronado Castle, and for good reason.
The property is reportedly roughly four times the size of an average Coronado lot, totaling 26,000 square feet and offering a lot of privacy and outdoor space.
Photo credit: Michael Andrew PhotographyPhoto credit: Michael Andrew Photography
Coronado Castle is an architectural gem protected by the Mills Act — a status that serves to significantly lower property taxes for the property. While lower property taxes are definitely nice to have, this property offers a lot – and we mean A LOT – more than that.
The current owner of the Requa-designed Coronado mansion is Brian Mariotti, the CEO of Funko, the toy company best known for its licensed vinyl figurines and bobbleheads.
Marriotti bought the 6,000-square foot property in 2017 for $12.2 million, and then purchased the lot right next to it, thus significantly expanding the site at 1127 F Ave.
The owner also invested heavily in upgrades at the Gunn house, but was careful to also preserve the building’s historical heritage.
The result is a stunning mix of 1920s Spanish Revival architecture and modern, laid-back California touches. Everything that was added to the home had to blend in with Requa’s original vision.

Paul Schatz, the owner of Interior Design Imports, who worked on the house with the Mariottis, told the Wall Street Journal that ‘the goal was to make everything new look as old as possible.’
Mixing business with pleasure – from home office to Star Wars-themed home theater, this property has it all
There are many highlights to this incredible property, but this is definitely our favorite: a 26-seat home theater featuring life-size Star Wars memorabilia, such as statues, weapons, and helmets.
Just imagine hosting a Star Wars movie marathon with family and friends, watching the original trilogy on a 20-foot screen powered by state-of-the-art 4k Max laser projector. Not too shabby, right?
Photo credit: John Leonffu
The 7,000-square-foot Star Wars-themed basement also features an indoor golf room with a simulator, a tennis area, and it houses Mariotti’s impressive collection of toy figurines.
But the most impressive feat is the basement itself, which was not part of Requa’s original design.
Photo credit: John Leonffu
The 15-foot-deep basement took six months to complete and required a 4-foot concrete foundation; the entire thing had to basically be ‘shoved underneath the existing house,’ as Jim Papenhausen of Papenhausen Construction told the WSJ.
In the end, Mariotti and his team were able to complete the project without damaging the historic structure in any way.
While a Star Wars-themed home theater and a massive toy collection exhibit area might not sound like the most practical amenities, the house does not disappoint when it comes to functionality, either.
Photo credit: Michael Andrew PhotographyPhoto credit: Michael Andrew PhotographyPhoto credit: John LeonffuPhoto credit: Michael Andrew Photography
The Mariottis understood the requirements of modern life, and turned the house next door into a four-car garage, and used the extra land to build a new family room wing and expand the outdoor area.
New owners will be able to enjoy a six-hole putting green, an outdoor living room area, a swimming pool, an outdoor kitchen, all bounded by century-old trees.
The house also incorporates four bedrooms, six full bathrooms, three-and-a-half bathrooms, a 14,142-square-foot guest house, a 1,300-square-foot home gym, and a spa with a massage table and a sauna.

For digital nomads, there is also a home office situated on the third floor at the top of the mansion’s castle-like tower. This area offers stunning views of San Diego and also includes an outdoor patio with a bar and a fireplace.
If you’re still not convinced that this is a one-of-a-kind property, a Spanish-influenced castle in the heart of California, then feel free to take a virtual home tour below, and find more details about this architecturally distinct house here.

It’s been a little over five years since the tragic passing of both Carrie Fisher and her mother, Debbie Reynolds, who died within 24 hours of each other.
Both A-list actors with thriving careers that spanned decades, the mother-daughter duo were also BFFs and roomies.

Best known for her iconic role as Princess Leia in George Lucas‘ epic Star Wars franchise, Carrie Fisher was born in Burbank, California, to actress Debbie Reynolds and singer Eddie Fisher.
And while their family didn’t stay together, as Eddie famously moved on to marry another Hollywood icon, Elizabeth Taylor, Carrie and her mom, Debbie, remained inseparable to the very end.
The two even lived next door to each other for close to 15 years.
But before they moved back to the West Coast, the mother-daughter duo, along with Carrie’s brother, Todd, lived in a beautiful brownstone in New York City — that has recently hit the market for $11.5 million. And it’s a stunner!
Here’s the full scoop on the Upper East Side townhouse that has the perfect blend of custom updates, skilled craftsman details, and a history of illustrious past residents.
The Reynolds-Fisher beloved family home
Located at 154 East 74th Street on the Upper East Side, the stunning townhouse is a New Yorker’s dream come true.
And it was well-loved and lived-in by the Reynolds-Fisher family.
Photo credit: Shannon Dupre of Ddreps courtesy of Compass
Reynolds’ son, and Carrie’s younger brother Todd Fisher, wrote about the beautiful brownstone in his 2018 memoir, My Girls: A Lifetime with Carrie and Debbie.
“My first birthday away from Greenway Drive. A car was waiting at JFK to take me and my luggage to 154 East 74th Street, the four-story brownstone between Third and Lexington where I’d be living with Mom and Carrie,” he wrote.
He added: “There were two bedrooms on the fourth floor. One was Carrie’s. The other, when she was in town, was Joan Hackett’s,” referencing one of Carrie’s closest friends, Oscar-nominated actress Joan Hackett.
But there’s more to this upscale city residence than its star-studded past.
Built in 1910, the beloved family home oozes timeless charm and the perfect updates for today’s distinguished buyer.
And it’s now up for grabs, asking $11.5 million (Compass’ Steve Halpern holds the listing).
A look inside the beautiful brownstone
Every square inch of the townhouse offers the perfect blend of luxury and comfort.
Spanning 4,275 square feet, the 4-story home features 5 bedrooms and 5 baths.

Upon entering the brownstone on the ground floor, you’ll find a generously sized soundproof media room including a projector and movie screen.

In addition to a fully functional second kitchen, French doors lead to the spacious backyard featuring a comfortable sitting area, complete irrigation system, and basketball court.

As you go up the stunning staircase to the parlor level, you’ll find a grand chef’s kitchen including double sinks with garbage disposal, a Gaggenau induction cooktop, dual Miele dishwashers, microwave/convection combo, subzero fridge, and recently refinished countertops.

The north end of the floor features a formal living room and a stylish powder room.

As you ascend to the next level, you’ll find the primary bedroom featuring a gas fireplace, heated flooring, double vanities, and a separated wash closet and shower. On the other end of the floor is another bedroom.
Photo credit: Shannon Dupre of Ddreps courtesy of Compass
The top floor features a fantastic skylight that fills the entire center of the home with all-day sun exposure. This level also offers 2 large bedrooms both including en-suite bathrooms and radiant heated floors.
The townhouse also offers a basement level with a laundry room, an 800-bottle wine cellar with a new Wine Guardian D025 cooling unit, and a fully functional home gym.

Steve Halpern, head of The Halpern Team at Compass holds the listing, which can be viewed in more detail here.
The mother-daughter duo moved next to each other on the West Coast
Of course, the famous mother-daughter acting duo also had roots in Los Angeles.
The iconic actress’ also lived in California, in side-by-side mansions located in Beverly Hills.
For more than 15 years, they lived in the upscale neighborhood of Coldwater Canyon, Mansion Global reports.
Together, the posh properties span 3.5 acres and included Reynolds’ Spanish-style home and Fisher’s secluded, tree-filled abode.
Famous for her portrayal of Princess Leia in Star Wars, Fisher first moved into the swanky neighborhood in 1993. And her mother, who was well known for many movies including her breakout role in Singin’ in the Rain, moved next door in 2000.

Biggest celebrities living in Beverly Hills, California

Some of the most famous people in the world reside in Beverly Hills, and we’re about to give you a run-down of our favorites.
After a little bit of real estate detective work, we’ve compiled a list of celebrities who live in Beverly Hills at the moment – they do tend to move around a lot. If you’re planning a visit and are thinking of taking a tour of celebrity homes in Beverly Hills, then make sure these next Hollywood stars — and power couples — are on your list.
John Legend and Chrissy Teigen

Celeb power couple John Legend and Chrissy Teigen paid $14.1 million to buy Rihanna’s former home in Beverly Hills back in 2016. The couple and their two children made the most of their stunning home during Covid19 lockdown and shared jaw-dropping images of the family hanging out at the property.
But the couple was soon ready for a change, and they listed their long-time home for close to $24 million in the summer of 2020. They found their new dream home pretty quickly, and it was another Beverly Hills gem that cost them $17.5 million – a price worth paying for the zip code alone (90210).
The couple’s new home features 6 bedrooms, 9 bathrooms, a 10,700-square-foot open floor plan, and 24-foot ceilings. They also get panoramic city-to-sea views from almost every corner of the house – a pretty nice upgrade, if you ask us.

Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis
A sporadic Shark Tank host and savvy investor, Ashton Kutcher knows how to wisely invest his growing fortunes. And it’s no surprise that the former That 70s Show actor, along with his equally (if not more) talented wife joined the ranks of celebrities living in Beverly Hills.
Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher live in a striking hilltop farmhouse that overlooks the rest of Beverly Hills. The two have taken the farmhouse life seriously and set out to turn their million-dollar property into a fully sustainable farm.
Fun fact: Ashton Kutcher (@aplusk) and Mila Kunis have the sustainable L.A. farmhouse of your dreams (and ours, too, for the record).

— Architectural Digest (@ArchDigest) May 18, 2021
KuKu Farms, as the couple lovingly call their homestead, now features a well — that irritates the land — and a corn field, on top of a sprawling garden full of squash, tomatoes, lettuces, and more.
But don’t let that fool you into thinking the property is a rural farmstead. In fact, it’s one of the most beautiful celebrity homes in Beverly Hills, proving that style and sustainability are not mutually exclusive.
Jack Nicholson
Jack Nicholson owns many properties across the country, but his long-time residence is located in Beverly Hills, on the notorious Mulholland Drive.
[embedded content]
The multiple Academy Award winner is a veteran Beverly Hills celebrity resident, having first bought his property in 1969, purchasing additional parcels over the years to expand its footprint. He even bought Marlon Brando’s former neighboring home in 2005, razed it, and had it rebuilt.
Nicholson’s Beverly Hills home is also famous for darker reasons. It’s here that director Roman Polanski reportedly abused an underage girl, while Nicholson and his then-girlfriend Anjelica Houston were away.
The original house that used to stand on the site burned down, and various other incidents took place on Mulholland Drive, leading some to claim that the entire area is cursed. Maybe that’s what inspired David Lynch to make a movie about it.
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift’s Beverly Hills abode is in a league of its own. The singer paid $25 million for movie mogul Samuel Goldwyn’s home back in 2015 — yeah, that Goldwin, you know, of Metro Goldwyn Mayer?

Swift’s mansion was actually granted landmark status in 2017, which means the young musician now owns a piece of Hollywood history. The property has never before been owned by someone not part of the Goldwyn family, so Swift is also writing history, if you think about it.
The 10,982-square-foot mansion is to be restored to its former glory, with the approval of the Beverly Hills City Council, of course.
The singer also owns a sprawling house in Rhode Island, which got a shout-out on her 2020 album, Folklore, with the song The Last Great American Dynasty paying tribute to the wealthy (and eccentric) socialite that owned the house before her.

Adele

Grammy-winner Adele is another Brit who has a thing for California living. The singer purchased her first home in Beverly Hills in 2016 for $9.5 million, and her second in 2018, after splitting from husband Simpon Konecki.
She didn’t venture very far to find her second home, though, as the two properties are across the street from each other. Adele’s second Beverly Hills abode cost her $10.65 million and was built back in 1961 in the gated community of Hidden Valley. It was previously owned by film producer Michael Hertzberg, according to the L.A. Times.
But the singer didn’t stop there.
Adele added another stunner to her real estate portfolio in 2022, when she shelled out $58 million for a property previously owned by Sylvester Stallone.
Adele’s sprawling mansion boasts the iconic 91210 zip code and is located in Beverly Park, which is still pretty close to Beverly Hills if you ask us. The new luxurious estate is now her home base, although she continues to own several properties in Beverly Hills.

Sandra Bullock
Actress Sandra Bullock is also part of the elite group of Hollywood stars who reside in Beverly Hills. Our beloved Miss Congeniality paid $16.9 million in 2011 for a seven-bedroom mansion right next door to Ricky Martin.

Bullock also used to own a 3,153-square-foot home right above the Chateau Marmont on the Sunset Strip, which she rented out for a whopping $18,500 per month. She reportedly had enough of her role as landlord and sold that property in 2018.
An avid real estate investor and collector, Bullock has an impressive real estate portfolio to her name. While her current home base is in New Orleans, Louisiana, Bullock also spends time at her residences in Beverly Hills, Malibu, Austin, and New York City, to name just a few.
In early 2021, the actress paid $2.7 million for a 1946-built bungalow nestled in the mountains above Beverly Hills. The multi-acre property features 3 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, a swimming pool with a waterfall, and gorgeous views. The Hollywood actress likes to keep her personal life private, so there’s no telling how much time she gets to spend at each of her various properties.
Jennifer Lawrence
Hunger Games star and Hollywood darling Jennifer Lawrence moved into her gorgeous Beverly Hills home back in 2014. The luxurious five-bedroom home came with a price tag of over $8 million, and an impressive list of previous homeowners, which includes Jessica Simpson and, shocker, Ellen DeGeneres.

The property boasts a romantic, European-inspired vibe, which you might not have expected from a strong personality such as Lawrence. The actress enjoys beautifully landscaped grounds, a koi pond, a swimming pool, and even a home gym. No wonder she’s in such good shape.
Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban
Actress Nicole Kidman and her husband, country singer Keith Urban purchased their current Beverly Hills residence in 2008 for roughly $4.7 million, adding to their already heavy portfolio of real estate.
Photo credit: Google Maps, insert Kathy Hutchins / Shutterstock.com
Since the acquisition, Kidman and Urban upgraded the property to include fun amenities for their children, including a jungle gym, a pool slide, and a chic cabana.
Their main residence is still in Nashville, but they own properties across the U.S., and their Beverly Hills mansion is reportedly one of their favorites. We say reportedly, because the couple is very private, and not much is known about their whereabouts. Even the interior of their Beverly Hills home remains a mystery, but we can safely suspect that it’s nothing short of glamorous.
Jason Statham and Rosie Huntington Whiteley
Next up on our list of Beverly Hills A-listers is probably the most good-looking couple on the planet. British movie star Jason Statham and supermodel Rosie Huntington-Whiteley settled in Beverly Hills in 2015, when they paid $13 million for a stunning five-bedroom mansion.
Their incredibly beautiful home was designed by Jenni Kayne, and is a perfect mix of contemporary architecture and timeless elegance. We wouldn’t have expected any less from the Victoria’s Secret model, as her taste is always impeccable.
You can take a peek inside the couple’s Beverly Hills mansion by watching Vogue’s 73 Questions With Rosie Huntington-Whiteley video:

Not to mention that Statham is a passionate houseflipper. The couple and their young son spent lockdown at their modern mansion, where Rosie even filmed several Youtube videos sharing her beauty and style tips.
Kendall Jenner
Kendall Jenner’s art-filled Beverly Hills home is so gorgeous that it was even featured in Architectural Digest. The supermodel gave us all a sneak peek inside her sprawling, $8.55 million Mulholland Estates home that was once owned by Hollywood bad boy Charlie Sheen.

Jenner purchased the house back in 2017, and she listed a team of experts to help her redesign it to her heart’s desire. The result is a cozy, serene, and quiet escape from Jenner’s busy daily life, and a perfect retreat away from the prying eyes of the media.
The 6,625-square-foot home features meditation corners, a peaceful backyard, and an art studio where Jenner gets to unleash her creativity.

Jeff Bezos
Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos is another celebrity with an impressive real estate portfolio under their belt. But this one is on an entirely different level, because Bezos owns the most expensive property in Beverly Hills, and probably one of the priciest in California.
Bezos paid a whopping $165 million for the Jack Warner Estate, previously owned by David Geffen, in early 2020. It was a record sale for a private residence in Los Angeles County, and one of the priciest residential sales in the country.
The Warner Estate was built back in the 1930s and is a one-of-a-kind historic gem worthy of Great Gatsby-style parties. Since purchasing the luxurious mansion, Bezos invested heavily in upgrades, adding a pool house, a powder room, and more high-end amenities.
Lizzo
In October 2022, acclaimed singer and songwriter Lizzo paid $15 million to snag Harry Styles’ former luxury mansion in Beverly Hills. The house was built in 2019 and boasts the legendary 91210 zip code, as well as 5,300 square feet of living space, 3 bedrooms, and 4 bathrooms.

Nestled in a private, gated community perched in the mountains atop Beverly Hills, Lizzo’s new home was owned by singer Harry Styles from 2014 to 2016. Since then, the property was remodeled and upgraded to meet the needs of modern A-list buyers like Lizzo.
The musician has not been shy about showing off her new digs, posting content on social media of her enjoying her stunning home theater or gorgeous infinity pool.
Rihanna and A$AP Rocky
Rihanna made the news rounds in 2023 after headlining the Super Bowl halftime show, reaching another level of awesomeness in her career. Luckily, she’s got quite a few luxury properties to retreat to and unwind after an adrenaline-driven show.
The singer boasts quite an extensive real estate portfolio, splitting her time between her properties in Beverly Hills, Century City, the Hollywood Hills, and Barbados.

Rihanna had a busy year in 2020, purchasing a five-bedroom mansion in Beverly Hills’ 91210 zip code for $13.8 million. Just months later, she paid $10 million for another four-bedroom mansion right next door. This investment might be a sign that this is where the singer and her partner, Asap Rocky, plan to settle down and raise their growing family.
The 7,600-square-foot home was built in 1938 and features 5 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms, huge walk-in closets, marble bathrooms, large private terraces, and stunning views. But above everything, the property offers privacy from the inquisitive eyes of the paparazzi.
Who knows, the house next door could house a recording studio, additional security and staff, or more baby rooms!
