Kanye West Finally Finds a Buyer for the Malibu Mansion He Gutted

After 205 days on the market and multimillion-dollar price cuts, the Malibu, CA, home of Kanye West has found a buyer, according to People magazine.

The stripped-down structure was last listed in April for $39 million. It’s in “contingent” sale status on Realtor.com®, and the final price is not yet known.

The Tadao Ando–designed concrete residence was gutted and left open to the elements by the rapper.

West, who goes by Ye, purchased the beachfront property in 2021 for $57,250,000. According to reports, he then proceeded to take the architectural masterpiece apart. A demolition project reportedly involved the removal of bathrooms, kitchen cabinets, plumbing, electricity, and windows.

Ye walked away from the unfinished project, opting to put the residence back on the market.

In January, the home was listed with “Selling Sunset” star Jason Oppenheim, of The Oppenheim Group, for $53 million.

“Currently all interior finishes have been removed from the property, and work is needed to either restore or reimagine the interiors,” the listing noted.

Oppenheim did not respond to a request for comment. In December, the agent told the Wall Street Journal, “It will take several million dollars for the house to be finished.”

In April, the price was reduced to $39 million.

Even in a sorry state, the structure was appealing for the imprimatur of the award-winning architect.

When Ye bought it, the beachfront abode was sleek and masterfully designed.

Built in 2013, the minimalist structure is one of a handful of private homes in the United States designed by the Pritzker Prize–winning Japanese architect. (Beyoncé and JAY Z own an Ando-designed home, also in Malibu, for which they paid a reported $200 million in 2023.)

Just steps from the Pacific Ocean, the 4,000-square-foot home sits on a relatively compact 5,674-square-foot lot. According to the listing, the structure is made of approximately 1,200 tons of concrete, 200 tons of steel reinforcement, and 12 massive supporting pylons driven more than 60 feet into the sand.
