When Drake bought his massive 20-acre Beverly Hills estate for $75 million in 2022, it was one of the most jaw-dropping celebrity real estate deals in years. The sprawling 24,000-square-foot mansion came loaded with insane perks — from a hidden tennis court and massive mosaic-tiled pool to sweeping city and ocean views.
But now, amid market struggles and public drama, the Canadian superstar has officially lowered the asking price to $79 million — cutting his earlier $88 million price tag by nearly $9 million.
🏡 Inside Drake’s Over-the-Top Beverly Hills Compound
This sprawling estate is no ordinary celebrity crib:
- 10 bedrooms and 22 bathrooms
- 11-car garage
- Private wine cellar, gym, screening room, and game room
- Three separate ensuite staff bedrooms with their own kitchen
- Hidden tennis court and an enormous pool with a pool house
- Views that stretch across city, canyon, and ocean vistas
- Set behind a long private driveway for maximum privacy
Built originally in 2001 by Guess? co-founder Armand Marciano, the estate changed hands from British pop star Robbie Williams before Drake snapped it up in an off-market deal.
💰 From $75M Purchase to $88M Flip — Now $79M Price Cut
Drake’s timing couldn’t have been trickier. After buying the property at $75 million, he listed it for $88 million in May 2023, seemingly aiming for a quick $13 million profit.
But the ultra-luxury market in California tanked:
- Interest rates doubled
- High-end buyers disappeared
- New L.A. “mansion tax” slapped a 5.5% surcharge on sales over $10 million, meaning nearly $4.8 million in extra costs
No surprise the mansion sat without a buyer.
🎤 Public Feud With Kendrick Lamar Fuels Sale Speculation
Things got even messier for Drake in 2024, when his feud with Kendrick Lamar blew up, with many fans crowning Kendrick the winner. As an L.A. native, Lamar’s hometown status only intensified the spotlight on Drake.
Some insiders speculate Drake’s urgency to unload his Beverly Hills estate wasn’t just about money — but optics.
🏠 Tried Renting at $250K/Month — Still No Takers
With no buyers emerging, Drake even put the mansion up for rent at $250,000 per month, but that didn’t move the needle either.
🌟 Drake’s Real Estate Empire Remains Solid
Despite the Beverly Hills hiccup, Drake’s real estate portfolio is still top-tier:
- A 50,000-square-foot Bridle Path mansion in Toronto featuring a 3,200-square-foot master bedroom and a regulation-size indoor basketball court with a pyramid-shaped skylight
- A sprawling 300+ acre luxury ranch resort in Brenham, Texas, bought for $15 million in 2023
⏳ What’s Next for Drake’s Beverly Hills Mansion?
