According to Dirt, Rihanna, the founder of Fenty Beauty and Savage X Fenty, has made a significant real estate investment in Los Angeles, spending $13.8 million on a spacious 7,600-square-foot house in close proximity to Trousdale Estates. This purchase marks Rihanna’s largest known real estate venture in Los Angeles.
The property was previously owned by “Million Dollar Listing” investor Daniel Starr, who acquired it in 2016. Starr undertook extensive renovations, essentially rebuilding most of the original 1930s structure. However, in mid-2019, he filed a lawsuit against his contractors, alleging fraud and poor workmanship, seeking millions in damages.
Last year, the property was briefly listed on the market for $15 million before Rihanna acquired it through a private sale. The interior of the house features a contemporary design with white walls, parquet floors, and striking black accents, reflecting the prevalent aesthetic in Los Angeles.
Notable features of the house include two expansive marble kitchen islands, a spacious living room with a lounge area and a wet bar, all complete with cozy fireplaces. The master suite boasts a generous walk-in closet, a luxurious marble bathtub, and an outdoor lounge space, providing a retreat-like ambiance.
Apart from her recent Los Angeles real estate acquisition, Rihanna also owns a vacation home in Barbados, a condominium on the Wilshire Corridor, and a penthouse at “The Century” skyscraper. Unfortunately, she had a distressing experience in 2018 when a stalker broke into her Hollywood Hills rental property. This incident occurred as part of a burglary ring that targeted several celebrities.
