Rihanna got her humble beginnings on the Caribbean island of Barbados before she moved to LA to pursue her dreams of becoming a singer. She burst into the music scene as a 16-year prodigy discovered by Jay-Z in 2005. After gaining recognition and increasing her net worth, she purchased her first property in 2009 and went on to collect several multi-million dollar homes in Los Angeles. While Rihanna collected homes in LA, ASAP Rocky owns a string of properties in New York, where he previously lived. Together, the couple is expecting their first child in 2022 and bagged a property in Beverly Hills to have a family home.
Offering panoramic views of the mountains and a sophisticated design of the structure, Rihanna and ASAP Rocky purchased one of the best homes on the exclusive street that offers privacy and seclusion. Let’s look inside the couple’s Beverly Hills Mansion, bought for $13.8 million.
Built For Generations
The $13.8 million home owned by the couple is located in the premium Beverly Hills Post Office neighborhood on Heather Road. The structure was initially built in 1938 and owned by Mary Sheldon, the daughter of Sidney Sheldon, best known for being the creator of I Dream Of Jeannie before she sold it to Daniel Starr in 2016, as stated by Life And Style Mag. Starr purchased the property for $4.3 million, which was telecasted on Million Dollar Listing on Bravo. Starr spent a few more million dollars on demolishing the home and rebuilding it. He put an asking price of $15 million. However, it was negotiated down to $13.8 million.
The property is almost invisible from the streets due to its big gates and tall hedges spanning across 7,600 sq. ft. The driveway leads to a two-car garage, while a curved staircase leads to the home entrance. As mentioned by Dirt, the entrance has a glass front door in the foyer that features a giant black bull sculpture overlooking the open-air central courtyard. The house has a contemporary design with white walls, a black metal roof, and matching trim. Overall, the space pays homage to a modern farmhouse with its French white oak hardwood floors and open floor plan.
A Combination Of Contemporary And Traditional
The open-air central courtyard features a myriad of amenities, including a pool, spa, firepit, and an al-fresco terrace. One of the most spacious public rooms in the house is the living area. The fireplace-equipped room has a sleek wet bar with a masculine tone of dark gray hues. It turns the space into a family room, lounge, and library due to its floor-to-ceiling built-in bookshelves. The Fleetwood glass wall sliders lead to the outdoors.
The stunningly executed kitchen is a chef’s dream and features two white marble islands. Every feature is splashed with marble and brass fixtures along with the islands. The top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances ensure that the best food is served in the breakfast banquet with a leather-seating area. Next to the breakfast banquet area is the informal living room that opens to the outdoors. Other amenities in the five-bedroom, seven-bathroom home include a media room, a gym overlooking the pool, and a cabana. The home also has an office space and a separate guest house.
A Star-Studded Location
Coming to the Master Suite, the room shared by Rihanna and ASAP Rocky is a resort-style luxury retreat. The half-acre home is structured in a sloping pattern which ensures that the tall walls encircle the house and the backyard, providing privacy and security. The bedroom directly views the breathtaking Coldwater Canyon and has a balcony a few feet away from the bed. According to High Snobiety, the suite also has a giant walk-in closet and a luxurious bathroom next to the terrace. The walk-in closet has black lacquered cabinetry, while the bathroom is furnished with white thickly-veined marble decor.
Rihanna and ASAP Rocky are not the only A-List celebrities living in the neighborhood. Their closest neighbor is The Beatles’ legend Sir Paul McCartney who once released a single with Rihanna called FourFiveSeconds. Mariah Carey lived for many years a few doors away until she relocated. Madonna recently rented a property in the neighborhood during the COVID-19 pandemic. Along with the $13.8 million home, the couple also purchased a neighboring estate after a few months for $10 million. The second home features four bedrooms and four-and-a-half bathrooms with an oversized pool.
Rihanna and ASAP Rocky purchased a beautiful home that is the perfect combination of modern yet traditional living. It offers ample lighting and spacious rooms with a large backyard to enjoy the Californian heat. The couple moved into the property in 2021 and planned to connect it with the second home they bought.
