If there’s one thing rappers are known for, it’s their appetite for all things opulent, extravagant, and larger than life.
We’re talking bling, watches, cars, and fabulous homes of course.
When it comes to their houses, no price tag is too high, no amenity too lavish, and no dream unachievable.
Just check out these super expensive rapper houses that will give you major #homegoals and leave you wanting more…
Drake’s $100+ million estate in Canada
Champagne Papi may have started from the bottom, but he rose to the very top.
Not only is Drake one of the biggest names in the industry, but he’s also the proud owner of the most expensive home in hip hop, a massive 35,000 sq. ft. mansion set in his hometown of Toronto, Canada.
Fans first got a glimpse of his Toronto mega mansion in the viral Tootsie Slide video and couldn’t wait to see more of it.
Drake of course obliged by giving us a virtual tour of the 35,000-square-foot property that is spread across two acres, followed by an official Arch Digest Open Door house tour.
The Grammy Award-winning rapper purchased the land for $6.7 million in Toronto’s exclusive Bridle Path area in 2016. He then slowly transformed it into the unbelievable home that it is with the help of Canadian designer Ferris Rafauli.

Jay-Z & Beyonce’s $90 million mansion in Bel-Air
When it comes to Hollywood’s original power couple Jay-Z and Beyonce, the glitz and glamor go far beyond their stage life.
We’re talking about their $90 million mega-mansion in Bel-Air. The duo spent over three years trying to find the home of their dreams and it was quite the struggle but hey, all’s well that ends well.
The mansion sits on 1.5 acres of land, spans over 30,000 square feet, and comes with 8 bedrooms, 11 bathrooms, a spa, 4 pools, a 15-car garage, a home theatre, a recording studio, and a personalized basketball court.
The home was designed by Paul McClean and features steel, glass, and marbled limestone all over.
The couple spent a whopping $750,000 on renovating the place before moving in with their children, Blue Ivy, Rumi, and Sir Carter.
Now, this is the kind of place that’s perfect for Hollywood royalty!
Kanye West’s house in Malibu, worth $57 million
Whether it’s fashion or real estate, Kanye West’s choices are truly one-of-a-kind.
The minute Ye visited Naoshima, the Japanese “art island” designed by architect Tadao Ando, he was obsessed! So, when a property designed by Ando popped up for sale, he knew he had to have it.
Kanye paid a whopping $57 million for the residence that’s best described as part house, part sculpture.
Kanye’s house is truly unique: the nearly 4,000-square-foot house resembles a military-grade bunker and required 1,200 tons of concrete, 200 tons of steel reinforcement, and 12 pylons to keep it from sinking into the sand.
The property has direct access to the beach and offers stunning views of the ocean. It has three levels with the ensuite guest rooms on the lowest floor, the living room and kitchen on the middle floor, and the master bedroom and rooftop terrace on the topmost floor.
Latest pictures show that Kanye West’s house is being completely stripped and renovated. We wonder what the music and fashion mogul has in mind.
Word is that he’s taking advice from American businessman James F Goldstein who owns one of the most unique pads in the country, the Sheats-Goldstein Residence.
One thing that we can be sure of is that the end result is going to be a Kanye masterpiece!
Dr. Dre’s house is a $40 million modern-day castle
Considering Dr. Dre has been in the music industry for over three decades, it’s not surprising to see him rank so highly on this list.
The rap icon owns quite a few luxury properties but the most notable one is his $40 million Brentwood property that he purchased from Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen.
The 18,000-square-foot modern-day castle sits on 4 acres of land and is surrounded by a moat. Dr. Dre’s house has five bedrooms, nine bathrooms, a gym, a massive kitchen, a sauna, and a six-car garage.
The master bedroom also has a balcony with an outdoor bathtub and there are seven fireplaces throughout the house. A property like this would be incomplete without an infinity pool, a pond with a waterfall, a cabana, and a large green space for the kids.
Recently, Dr. Dre also added a basement studio to the home. Each room is decorated to perfection and the entire space has high ceilings and tons of natural light.
Travis Scott’s $23.5 million yacht-inspired home
Rapper Travis Scott’s biggest flex after Kylie, Stormi, and Wolf has got to be his lush mansion in LA.
In June 2020, the “Sicko Mode” artist bagged the massive Brentwood mansion for $23.5 million and he supposedly paid for it in cash. Yep, you read that right!
The almost 17,000-square-foot hilltop house resembles a modern yacht with many levels of balconies and open plan areas — see more of Scott’s striking modern abode here.
There are 7 bedrooms, 11 bathrooms, a 15-seat home theatre, a gym, a sauna, a wet bar, an outdoor kitchen, a poolside cabana, a game room, and a 75-foot infinity pool with an underwater sound system.
The party-ready mansion also has a jacuzzi, a zen garden, and a water wall designed by Mario Romano. There’s even a temperature-controlled, glass wine room that can hold up to 650 bottles of wine.
The best part about the property is that it offers unobstructed views of Los Angeles. Word is that Travis has also bought the property next door and plans on expanding his existing home soon.
Swizz Beatz & Alicia Keys’ $20.8 million architectural wonder

Their stunning cliffside mansion known as “The Razor House” also known as “America’s coolest home” was designed in 2007 by San Diego-based architect Wallace E. Cunningham and was bought by the couple in 2019 for a whopping $20.8 million.
The 11,000-square-foot concrete and glass mansion sits perched on the edge of a cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean (take a tour of the spectacular home here).

Pulitzer Prize-winning “poet laureate of hip hop,” Kendrick Lamar is best known for making history with his music.
When he’s not mesmerizing fans with his performances, he’s busy relaxing in his $10 million Manhattan Beach mansion in L.A.
Since it was an off-market deal and the property was never publicly listed, not much information can be found about it. What we do know is that the mansion was built by luxury homebuilder Powers Development.
Kendrick Lamar’s house is three stories tall, and the 5,350-square-foot mansion includes 4 bedrooms, 7 full bathrooms, a kitchen with designer appliances, a resort-style master room, and one or two wet bars.

Nicki Minaj’s house in Los Angeles, $10 Million Home in Los Angeles
Nicki Minaj may be the Queen of rap but despite being one of the most popular celebrities of our time, she still prefers to keep her family life private.
The “Super Bass” star reportedly has an estimated net worth of $80 million which is why it’s not surprising that her lavish home in the Flats area of Los Angeles cost her $10 million.
Nicki shares the space with her husband, Kenneth Petty, and their son “Papa Bear.” Nicki Minaj’s house spans 7,000 square feet and comes with 6 bedrooms, 8 bathrooms, a living room with high ceilings and large windows, and an outdoor pool with plenty of sun loungers.
