Rihanna splashes the cash for her new Los Angeles penthouse
As Rihanna looks toward the arrival of her second child, the singing superstar has invested in a new property.
While Rihanna’s family with rapper A$AP Rocky continues to grow, the ‘Umbrella’ singer is looking at how to accommodate the arrival of her second baby.
Recent reports state Rihanna has purchased a $21 million penthouse in Los Angeles – an apartment reportedly twice the size of her previous one. The property formerly belonged to ‘Friends’ alum Matthew Perry.
Rihanna owns several pieces of real estate, including two Beverly Hills mansions.
What is Rihanna’s new place like?
According to Architectural Digest, Rihanna, who has won nine Grammy Awards, has purchased the 40th floor penthouse in the same Century City skyscraper as her old place.
The website cited the price tag of $21 million for the penthouse suite, which has 9290 square feet, four bedrooms, and 6.5 bathrooms.
The penthouse features a 360-degree city skyline view, four terraces, a soundproof movie theater with tiered seating, marble islands in the kitchen, and its own dual bathroom primary suite with fireplace.
Rihanna’s last place in the luxury LA skyscraper, where she lived since 2014, had three bedrooms and 3500 square feet.
The building was designed by AD100 Hall of Fame architect Robert A.M. Stern.
How much is Rihanna’s penthouse worth?
Rihanna bought the 9290-square foot penthouse for $21 million.
When Perry owned the home, he had celebrity architect Scott Joyce do the remodeling and listed it for $35 million in 2019.
Afterpay co-founder Nick Molnar bought the penthouse in 2021 for $21.6 million — just to flip it for just under $28 million.
