Kanye West splashes $35 million on Beverly Hills home after failed Malibu ‘bomb shelter’: report

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

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

The 11-bedroom, 18-bathroom home sits on roughly 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 publication, West, 47, bought the mansion under an LLC in an off-market deal.

An attorney for the Grammy winner was not immediately available to Page Six for comment.

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

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

The musician’s project led to legal trouble with his project manager Tony Saxon, who sued the hitmaker for allegedly breaking multiple labor codes and defying advice to remove the windows.

At the time, Saxon’s attorney, Neama Rahman, said she was glad to hear West was selling the house so the proceeds could help pay off the alleged $1 million owed to Saxon.

“Tony worked as a construction project manager and 24/7 security guard when Kanye had his house gutted and Kanye put him through hell, breaking numerous labor codes and labor laws in this process,” Rahman said in a statement.

“This house was a ‘Picasso on the water’ before Kanye ordered Tony to tear it down. So while we’re pleased that Kanye may finally have the cash to meet his obligations to Mr. Saxon, buyer beware.”

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

“My goal is to pretend 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 bad” with “no purpose.”
