Kanye West's Malibu home

Kanye West's Malibu mansion, known for its stunning ocean views and designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Tadao Ando, has entered escrow after being listed for $39 million following extensive renovations that left it gutted and uninhabitable. Initially purchased for $57 million in 2021, West stripped the property of its interior fixtures, resulting in a skeletal structure that required significant investment to restore. The home faced legal troubles as a former employee, Tony Saxon, sued West for unsafe working conditions and unpaid wages during the renovation process. After sitting on the market for 205 days, the listing was originally priced at $53 million before the drastic price cut. The final sale price remains undisclosed as the home, now described as a 'fixer-upper', awaits a new owner's vision for revitalization. Jason Oppenheim of the Oppenheim Group represented the sale, highlighting the property's potential despite its current state of disrepair.
