Rapper and fashion mogul Kanye West wants to sell his $57 million Malibu beachfront mansion.
According to TMZ, Kanye has put the ill-fated property on the market for $53 million after extensive renovations left the home stripped to a shell.
Bought in 2021 for $57 million, the 4,000-square-foot house is located on Broad Beach Road. West embarked on an ambitious redesign led by Pritzker Prize-winning Japanese architect, Tadao Ando.

However, West, the 13th most streamed artist on Spotify, now faces legal action from the project manager overseeing the renovation, who claims the rapper insisted on removing essential systems like plumbing and electricity without approval.
With the interiors bare to the studs, celebrity realtor Jason Oppenheim has taken on the unique listing, pitching the home as a “rare opportunity” for buyers to take over the restoration.
