The Weeknd Picks Up Lavish Bel Air Manse for $70M

Published: August 21, 2021 | By: American Luxury Staff

Last spring, musician The Weeknd sold his estate in Hidden Hills for $19.3 million. The contemporary farmhouse, which measures in at 12,500 sq. ft. and features a fitness studio and spa, a home theater, and a showroom-like garage, found a fan in pop icon Madonna.

In the interim, The Weeknd may well have been house-hunting while hanging his hat in the downtown Los Angeles penthouse he picked up in 2019. That property—located in the Beverly West building—sold to the performer for $21 million; its interiors span 8,000 sq. ft., and it contains four bedrooms and six baths, as well as a fully-dressed entertainment area. But the singer came back down to terra firma this week to quietly close on an estate to the tune of $70 million.

The Bel-Air property is anchored by a massive house designed in the modern Mediterranean style. It measures in at 33,000 sq. ft., and is decked out with a complex of outdoor terraces, balconies, loggias and patios culminating in a large, elevated poolside pavilion with a bar that is augmented with pergola-capped lounge areas to one side.

The outdoor zero-edge pool is one of two on the estate; the other is inside the home. Details include the scalloped ceiling in the double-island kitchen, the textured walls of the dining room, and the walls—they appear to be lacquered—and black marble fireplace accent wall of the living room.

The Weeknd has sold over 75 million records worldwide. His most recent studio album, 2020’s After Hours, topped the Billboard 200 chart; the previous two albums did as well. His second greatest hits album, titled The Highlights, was released earlier this year.
