Rihanna recently purchased a super swanky estate in SoCal.
The singer, actress, and entrepreneur snagged a Beverly Hills compound for $13.75 million.
It represented the latest in a string of transactions for the chart-topping artist, who has spanned the world in real estate from Barbados, London, Los Angeles, to New York.
Along with her music, acting, and her Fenty Beauty and fashion business, the Barbados native has bought and sold multiple properties—and rented quite a few too.
With hits like “Umbrella” and “Diamonds,” she’s sold over 250 million albums worldwide, making her one of the bestselling musicians of all time, with an estimated worth of $600 million.
But it’s not all “Work work work” for the singer. The nine-time Grammy winner has also “found love” with the real estate game.
We took a deep dive into RiRi’s real estate, and here’s what we found.
Beverly Hills compound
Most recently, Rihanna, whose full name is Robyn Rihanna Fenty, picked up a lavish compound in an exclusive enclave of Beverly Hills for $13.75 million. She’s just across the street from her collaborator on “FourFiveSeconds” Paul McCartney.
Hidden behind lush hedges and gates, the brand-new construction is a mix of modern and traditional elements.
The five-bedroom, seven-bathroom spread includes 7,628 square feet of living space, with a cocktail bar, formal living and family areas, and chef’s kitchen. French oak flooring flows from room to room. A sumptuous master bedroom features views and a spalike bath that opens up to a private outdoor sitting area.
The half-acre grounds are designed for entertaining. The main living areas open to an immaculately manicured central courtyard, with a multilevel outdoor space featuring a grand outdoor terrace, pool, spa, and fire pit.
Other high-end features include an office, gym, media room, and separate guesthouse. Not surprisingly for a star with security issues, the property includes a gate, card and code access, and security lights.
Melodious mansion
Over a decade ago, Rihanna picked up a contemporary home in Beverly Hills in 2009 for $6.9 million. The remodeled residence included 8,500 square feet of living space, seven bathrooms, nine bedrooms, and 33-foot ceilings in the living area, which flows outside to the pool and pergola.
However, her dream home turned out to be a nightmare. Plagued with ongoing maintenance issues with the home, including leaks, she sold the place at a loss for $5 million in 2011, and proceeded to sue the previous owner.
In 2014, she settled with the lawsuit for undisclosed terms.
If the property looks familiar, it eventually became the residence of the celebrity couple John Legend and Chrissy Teigen, who bought the property for $14.1 million in 2016.
They completely overhauled the space and placed the jaw-dropping result on the market for $23,950,000 last summer. Since then, the price for the luxe estate has dropped to $18,890,000.
Pacific Palisades palace
After leaving the waterlogged home, RiRi moved on to a posh place in Pacific Palisades, paying $12 million in 2012.
Built in 2009, the modern estate, up a long, gated driveway, offers lush canyon views. With 9,500 square feet of living space, the interiors feature high ceilings and a vast entertaining space.
The two-story entry with double glass doors leads to a formal foyer with sweeping staircases. The six bedrooms include the master suite with a sitting room, fireplace, two walk-in closets, luxurious bathroom, and walls of glass doors that open to the pool.
The lower level offers a garage, media room, or a guest suite.
Meanwhile, the highlights of the outdoor space include a roof deck, putting green, and patio.
Unfortunately, this property also had problems. After multiple break-ins, the star vacated the place, rented it out, and eventually sold it in 2016, for $11.2 million. Today, the home is currently back on the market for $16 million.
