Kanye West, now known as Ye, is selling a beachfront property in Malibu, California, for $53 million. The only catch? According to The Wall Street Journal, the house lacks plumbing, electricity, windows, and doors.
The exclusive listing agent, Jason Oppenheim, told the publication, the home is a "blank canvas" for anyone who wants to add their own touch. In an email to Business Insider, The Oppenheim Group confirmed "all interior finishes have been removed from the property."
The controversial rapper originally purchased the property, which was designed by legendary Japanese architect Tadao Ando, in 2021 for $57 million, Architectural Digest reported at the time.
Since then, the property has sat empty as West began to completely gut the home in a bid to start afresh.
In September 2023, West was sued by a former employee — his caretaker for the Malibu property — who claimed the rapper fired him after forcing him to sleep on the floor during renovations and ordered him to remove the windows and electricity. West denied the allegations.
Now, Oppenheim is listing the house, and The Oppenheim Group shared photos with Business Insider taken from before West owned the home. Photos obtained by TMZ show what it currently looks like — let's just say it's a fixer-upper.
