Kanye West has been said to be facing serious financial struggles for some time now. Nevertheless, that's not stopping the father of four from dishing out a reported $20K per month in rent. According to Radar Online, he and his wife Biance Censori have shacked up in West Hollywood. They're renting a two-bedroom, two-bathroom penthouse not far from the recently established Yeezy headquarters on Melrose Avenue. "It’s a gorgeous apartment and the interior is very Ye. It’s a unique spot which is an architect’s dream," an insider close to the couple dished of their home.
Prior to that, they were staying at the Nobu Ryokan hotel, all while Ye's Malibu mansion remains uninhabited and reportedly rotting away. At the luxury hotel (which has a minimum two-night stay), the Yeezy founder and Censori were paying $2K a night. His mansion, which he purchased in 2021 for $57M, has been a hot topic lately, particularly after it was revealed that he dissolved his Yeezy Construction Inc. company in November.
Kanye West Has Some Major Bills
At the time, West suddenly halted work on his home. Insiders reveal that the Japanese-inspired residence, designed by Tadao Ando, has since been completely gutted. While that project obviously didn't work out as expected, the architect has received massive praise for the work he did on Jay-Z and Beyonce's recently purchased California mansion. The $200M deal broke records in the state, where the power couple now officially owns the most expensive home ever purchased.
It remains unclear what the embattled artist plans to do with his property, but according to recent reports, his fortune is back on the way up as he's allegedly already made a staggering amount from the continued sale of Yeezy at Adidas.
