“Every time I get into some kind of disagreement with my daughter North, she thinks this is a dig to me, and she’ll say, ‘Your house is so ugly. ’” Kardashian revealed during a “Mom Confessions” segment on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” in 2021. The Mexico-based art gallery, designed by Tatsuro Miki and Axel Vervoordt, draws on tenets of sacred geometry to offer visitors the chance to connect with a more than earthly realm.

West recreated his childhood home in Soldier Field

Shortly after, the city took notice of the South Shore house and filed a demolition court complaint in January 2019. The report from July 2018 found roof damage, missing siding and issues with the stairs, among other alleged problems. After some controversy with the organization, Kanye officially purchased back the home for $225,000 with plans to renovate it in 2019 under his LLC, Donda Services. The controversial rapper is still working on his much-anticipated new album, “Donda,” inspired by his late mother and, possibly, his childhood home in Chicago. Take a look inside what the home used to look like, before West purchased it. Meanwhile, West is also hoping to unload one of two of his Wyoming ranches, which he listed for sale for $11 million in October.

Initially built in 1905, the home is situated on a 7,000-square-foot lot and is made up of three bedrooms and one bathroom. Meanwhile, his viral Insta post now has more than 1.5 million likes and nearly 40,000 comments from diehard fans — and The Post has tracked down interior images of the property in the South Shore neighborhood. Now, Oppenheim is listing the house, and The Oppenheim Group shared photos with Business Insider taken from before West owned the home.

The forward-thinking West purchased two apartments to combine into one massive space (via Highsnobiety). He bought the first one in 2004 and then snapped up an adjacent studio apartment two years later. However, West eventually chose to let go of the two-unit property designed by architect Claudio Silvestrin. The 2,427-square-foot home went on the market for $4.7 million in 2019 (via Observer). West said that his fashion line Yeezy inspired the sleek interior decor (via Harper's Bazaar). His new Malibu beach house was initially listed for $75 million and purchased in an off-market deal, so real estate images of the interiors aren’t publicly available.

Where does Kanye West live now?

Kanye West is opening up about the all the drama that surfaced when he purchased a home across the street from his estranged wife, Kim Kardashian. While Kim didn't specify why her daughter prefers to stay at her dad's home, it's possible that North enjoys the simplicity of Kanye's new life. After spending your entire life in the spotlight, craving normalcy is definitely understandable—though we think its safe to assume that his home is probably lavish in its own way. But, if we can defend Kim for one moment, she does have a pretty spectacular real-estate portfolio.

Now, both Ye and his 4,000 square foot Malibu home have rotted from the inside out. According to Architectural Digest, Kanye West refers to this Los Angeles home as a "wabi-sabi" masterpiece. The 15,667-square-foot abode is in the Hidden Hills neighborhood and boasts eight bedrooms and eight bathrooms.

West's new purchase is a three-story home with a garage and a beachfront space on Puerco Beach (via The New York Post). It has changed ownership amongst high-profile individuals in the entertainment industry, such as voice actor Edie Boddicker and her composer husband, Michael Boddicker. The home features many noteworthy amenities, including a rooftop terrace, fire pit, and direct beach access (via Architectural Digest). While West moved out of the home he shared with Kim after their divorce, one thing that he will not give up is the ability to live near his family. According to The New York Post, Kanye has made an unbelievable move met with varying responses. Kim discusses with her family on an episode of "Kourtney and Kim Take Miami" that her main priority while in the city was spending time with her then-boyfriend, West, no matter the cost (via YouTube).

And while it’s true that luxury home prices—and the number of transactions—are generally trending upward, we’re still experiencing a tale of two markets. But if luxury home prices are on the rise, then why would Ye and listing agent Jason Oppenheim be willing to offer it at such a steep discount? Well, because the property is still largely unfinished after Ye committed to gutting the property just a few years ago.

West must have understood the importance of private time for the pair in Miami because he surprised Kim with a Miami condo worth $14 million (via Alex Shay). Such a lucky lady to be gifted a 4730-square-foot, four-bedroom, five-bathroom house! However, Kardashian was not a fan of the spontaneous multi-million dollar Faena House purchase, which led to West ultimately pulling out of the purchase deal (via People). West had hired interior designer Axel Vervoordt to re-design his Calabasas home, which he shares with his wife, Kim Kardashian West and has also worked with Los Angeles architect Willo Perron  to design Yeezy's California headquarters in Calabasas, USA. Earlier this month, the star livestreamed another listening party for “Donda” from Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium, but the album has yet to hit streaming services.

By December 2023, things were so bad that Ye enlisted Jason Oppenheim, Selling Sunset's most aerodynamic salesman, to shift his Malibu mansion for a paltry $53 million, $4 million less than Ye paid for it. A Happy Hanukkah sign was even posted onto the Malibu house's garage door around the time that Kanye was embracing hate speech and far-right conspiracy theorists. Weeks turned into months and, by the end of 2022, Ye had gone full white nationalist. The floor-to-ceiling windows facing the water had long been removed, leaving the rear of the building entirely open to the elements.

As it stands now, the building is a concrete shell exposed to the elements. Railings and metal trim pieces around the house have visibly rusted, likely beyond salvageability. Just two years ago, Kanye West was still flying high on the success of his billion-dollar Yeezy sneaker brand. He bought two separate Wyoming ranches, including one that spanned more than 3,000 acres.

West plans to design this home to imitate his $60 million Hidden Hills mansion, channeling its minimalist grandeur. He will enlist the support of design professionals Axel Vervoodt and Claudio Silvestrin. Vervoordt designed part of Kim and Kanye's Hidden Hills house mansion in California (via Architectural Digest). He and his former fianceé Kardashian even chose European cities like Paris and Florence for their wedding (via ABC News).

Both the makeup and the messaging were consistent for Kardashian, who has used her platform and influence to push for criminal justice reform since 2018. We broke the story, Ye's looking to start Yeezy Porn, a new adult entertainment studio -- and, we're told it could open as soon as summer. As for her mystifying sink with no basin, designer Vervoordt and architect Claudio Silvestrin created the distinctive station after eight different prototypes for people to wash their hands.

Ye’s 4,000-square-foot property was originally listed for $53 million in December 2023, but now is listed by the Oppenheim Group—the brokerage most famous for its popular Netflix show Selling Sunset—which has the property listed at a $14 million discount. Kanye West first became enamored with Ando’s designs after a 2018 visit to Naoshima, the “art island” in Japan’s Seto Inland Sea that hosts Ando’s Benesse House Museum and sculptures by James Turrell. In 2020, West told GQ that he wanted to build a home “where every room is a Turrell,” so it’s no surprise that he fell for a home with a similar vibe.

The interior is created out of concrete framework with scaffolding and formwork currently being placed. The images shared previously by West also showed the roof with an oculus or opening for the light to flow in, as there were no windows to the subterranean dome structures. Ye wanted to completely gut the Malibu mansion—removing fixtures, windows, doors, plumbing, and electrical systems—but that renovation vision “never materialized,” according to the San Francisco Chronicle.

The house boasts six bedrooms and eight bathrooms, massive glass doors, automatic windows, and a gorgeous outdoor swimming pool. The Kardashian's homes are known for their luxury, and this Bel Air residence with a Mediterranean style does not disappoint. However, they were keen on meticulously remodeling the space to fit their minimalist and contemporary tastes. The renovations were successful and caused the value to increase significantly (via Bravo). The celebrity couple spent five years flipping the house but did not live there before selling.
