KANYE West will soon call Adele his neighbor after snapping up a new $35 million Beverly Hills home, which also features a huge steel bridge and security pavilion, The U.S. Sun can reveal.
The controversial star reportedly closed on the home in an off-market deal last month under the same limited liability company that he sold his Malibu house.
Kanye’s 20,000-square-foot mansion sits on 6.8 acres of land and boasts 11 bedrooms and 18 bathrooms, plenty of space to have his four children over to stay.
It was designed by famed architect Richard Landry, who is also known as the “King of the Megamansion.”
The property offers a lot more privacy than his current apartment in West Hollywood, which he has been renting for months with his wife Bianca Censori.
Kanye’s Beverly Hills home has its own security pavilion and is situated in a gated community, where multiple celebrities have lived over the years, including Justin Bieber.
Adele has completely remodeled a $58 million property just minutes away from Kanye’s new mansion, which she purchased from Sylvester Stallone in 2022.
According to reports, she has spent millions on renovations including a new five-car garage.
Documents showed she took out a $37.7 million mortgage to fund the Beverly Hills estate.
Adele is yet to move into the home with her partner, Rich Paul, and her young son, Angelo, with her ex-husband, Simon Konecki.
NO MORTGAGE
The eight-bed 12-bath Italian-style pile was built in 1994.
A source previously told The Sun: “When Adele bought the house she didn’t intend to change too much. But she has a team of Hollywood experts on board who suggested the extra floor.
“The house will be absolutely gigantic by the time it’s done. But it is looking incredible and she thinks it’s worthwhile.
“She wants it to be her forever home with her son Angelo and partner Rich Paul, and she dreams of extending her family there.”
Meanwhile, Kanye does not appear to have taken out a mortgage to pay for his lavish new pad.
The property also offers a huge guest house and entertainment pavilion connected to the main property by a futuristic steel-columned bridge.

He will also be able to enjoy a lap pool and gazebo with a separate plunge pool, picturesque waterfalls, and a paddle tennis court.
The U.S. Sun has learned the home was built in 2000 by Norm Zada, a mathematics genius and former money manager.
He sold the mansion in 2010 for $16.5 million to Saudi billionaire Saleh Abdullah Kamel, and it was last sold in 2022 for more than $24 million to an unknown buyer.
Documents from September seen by The U.S. Sun show the city tax on Kanye’s new property is more than $2.08 million, while the documentary transfer tax is listed as $35,500.
Although Kanye has not yet moved into the property, he appeared to confirm the purchase by sharing an aerial image of the home on his Instagram after news of the sale broke.
He wrote alongside the photo, “Droam,” the name of a self-sustaining city Kanye initially planned to build in the Middle East.
It’s not known what his plans are for the Beverly Hills home, but neighbors may be nervous after he gutted and abandoned his Malibu beach home – losing millions of dollars in the process.
Kanye had spent a fortune on one of the only homes in the U.S. designed by famed Japanese architect Tadao Ando.
In September 2023, Kanye was hit with a lawsuit from an ex-employee who looked after the beachside property.
His former project manager, Tony Saxton, made several claims in his lawsuit including harsh working conditions, breaking several multiple labor code violations, and wrongful retaliatory termination.
Tony alleged in his complaint that Kanye asked for all of the windows and electrical wiring to be removed, aiming to turn it into a “bomb shelter.”
He allegedly told Kanye it would be unsafe for workers and complained, after which he was allegedly fired, according to the lawsuit.
Tony alleged in court docs that Kanye had yet to pay him for his work and that he owes him $1 million.
The star was forced to take out a $2.2 million surety bond after Tony’s legal team put a mechanic’s lien on the home to block the sale.
Kanye initially listed the property for $53 million but eventually sold it for around $36.3 million.
The mystery new buyer was revealed to be a California-based real estate crowdfunding firm Belwood Investments.
Kanye has denied all wrongdoing and asked for the lawsuit to be dismissed, but currently has no legal representation after his lawyer dropped out and the case is still ongoing.
According to TMZ, one new neighbor in Beverly Hills called the star “delusional” if he does plan to build his own city on the plot of his mansion.
Another neighbor added they hope the rapper is often away on vacation so the peaceful community is not disturbed.
He has been living a nomadic existence with Bianca in Tokyo for more than a month, as the pair are regularly spotted shopping.
