Kanye West Reportedly Borrows $15.5 Million to Fund $35 Million Beverly Hills Mansion Purchase
Rap artist Kanye West and his wife, Bianca Censori, recently closed on a lavish $35 million Beverly Hills mansion, reportedly with the help of a $15.5 million loan.
According to the Daily Mail, West borrowed $12.5 million from Lone Oak Fund and Lone Oak Industries, with an additional $2.7 million from a private lender associated with fitness entrepreneurs Richard and Lucy Glassman.
The Glassmans shared their reasoning for backing the purchase, noting, “With a 40 percent loan-to-value ratio, it’s a safe investment.
If the loan defaults, we would gain a $35 million property.” They added that they hope West repays the loan, as they are primarily focused on getting a return rather than acquiring the mansion.
The 20,000-square-foot property features 11 bedrooms, 18 bathrooms, a guest house, swimming pool, tennis court, and a waterfall. West reportedly doesn’t plan to live in the mansion but intends to rent it out as an investment property.
