As a seasoned gamer who has dabbled in the world of real estate investments (though nothing quite as grandiose as Kanye West‘s), I can’t help but feel a pang of sympathy for the rapper-turned-investor. Selling a property for $36 million less than what you bought it for is a hard pill to swallow, even for someone with a reported net worth of $400 million.
Kanye West, a versatile investor, has been involved in various ventures such as founding schools and delving into the adult entertainment industry. In recent times, this controversial figure, reportedly no longer active in rap, acquired a property in Malibu for $57.3 million. However, he recently sold this house for just $21 million, raising questions about why he took a loss of $36 million. Let’s delve into the unusual explanation behind his decision to sell.
Back in 2021, when I acquired this house, I had grand visions for it. According to Us Weekly, I aimed to significantly transform the property, essentially tearing it down and rebuilding it from scratch. This plan, inspired by my Donda success, was met with some controversy due to the home’s design by renowned architect Tadao Ando. However, as time went on, the Grammy winner in me decided against the extensive remodeling project.
Initially, Kanye West re-listed his unrenovated home for a whopping $53 million in January, but it didn’t attract any potential buyers. Consequently, he had to settle for selling it for $21 million. The new owner is Belwood Investments, a California-based crowdfunding firm that specializes in flipping houses since 2018. The company’s founder, Steven “Bo” Belmont, expressed his excitement about the acquisition through a press release (as reported by Us Weekly).
We’re absolutely thrilled about the purchase of this property. It isn’t simply a great real estate deal; it’s a chance to restore and safeguard a masterpiece by the acclaimed Tadao Ando, keeping it a beacon of Malibu. This acquisition underscores Belwood Investments’ dedication to enhancing properties with historical and architectural importance while providing outstanding returns for our investors.

Following denial from Kanye West’s dentist about providing him with laughing gas, a former staff member allegedly posted screenshots of text messages (DMs).
As a dedicated admirer, I can’t help but share some exciting news about Belwood Investments! We’re planning to rally support by crowd-funding a massive $5 million to meticulously restore a magnificent house. Once restored, our aim is to resell it at an astounding $40 million. The passion for architecture that Steven Belmont and his team exude in this endeavor is truly inspiring!
Following a series of financial difficulties, Kanye West’s investment losses have mounted up. His antisemitic comments in late 2022 led to his termination by Adidas and other partners such as Vogue and Balenciaga. The rapper himself acknowledged that he has been severely hit financially.
Despite his substantial wealth estimated at $400 million, it’s worth noting that the famous artist, often referred to as “Heartless,” doesn’t appear to be struggling financially. However, $36 million is a significant amount, and considering Kanye West’s status, it wouldn’t be unreasonable to suppose he’d find it hard to let go of such a large sum.
