Drake Hopes To Turn A Profit As His L.A. Mansion Hits The Market For A Colossal Sum

Drake is looking to make some moves on the property market, listing his Beverly Hills mansion for a much higher price point than what he bought it for.

After owning the home for only a little over a year, Drizzy’s crib hit the market on Monday (May 1) for $88million — over $10million more than he paid for it.

According to the Zillow listing, the 20-acre pad, which was built in 2001, boasts 10 bedrooms and 18 bathrooms as well as a movie theater, a private orchard, tennis court, wine cellar, a full gym, elevator, game room and more.

Drake bought the crib from British pop star Robbie Williams in March 2022 for $75million, as he simultaneously listed his infamous “Yolo Estate” in Hidden Hills on the market. Listed at $14.8million, the English Tudor-style home has a swimming pool, an 80-foot long rock waterslide, spa grotto, 25-seater theater and wine cellar. He also added in the two neighboring properties for a combined deal of $22.2million.

The Young Money superstar still has his massive 50,000-square foot mansion in Toronto, Canada. The luxury home — conceived by Canadian architectural and interior designer Ferris Rafauli — boasts numerous amenities, including an NBA regulation-size indoor basketball court crowned by a 21-square-foot pyramidal skylight, a Bösendorfer concert grand piano designed by Rafauli and Takashi Murakami and a 3,200-square-foot master-bedroom.

“Because I was building it in my hometown, I wanted the structure to stand firm for 100 years,” Drake told Architectural Digest in 2020. “I wanted it to have a monumental scale and feel. It will be one of the things I leave behind, so it had to be timeless and strong.”

Rafauli pulled from traditional Beaux Arts architecture when designing the home, which is also referred to as “The Embassy.”

“In form, materials, and execution, the structure is a proper 19th-century limestone mansion,” Rafauli said. “But the exterior profiles are more minimal and the lines are a bit cleaner. This isn’t stucco, paint, and fake gold. That’s not what Drake wanted, and that’s not what I do.”

Up next for Drizzy is his 21 Savage-assisted It’s All A Blur Tour, which is set topic off on June 29 in Memphis, Tennessee. The massive 54-date trek will hit cities among the likes of Brooklyn, Inglewood, Memphis, Milwaukee, Glendale and Denver before wrapping in Drake’s hometown of Toronto on October 5 and October 7.
