Since 2014, Rihanna has made The Century, one of Los Angeles’ most expensive and prestigious residential buildings, her primary residence. However, with a new baby and a second child on the way, along with staff and her ever-present entourage, she’s feeling a bit cramped in her three-bedroom, 3,500 square foot home.

To address this situation, the Barbadian superstar splurged $21 million on one of The Century’s largest residences, a penthouse that occupies the entire 40th floor of the building. This sprawling space is fit for any A-lister, boasting over 9,000 square feet of living area, numerous custom features, and stunning views.

The penthouse was sold by billionaire Nick Molnar, co-founder of the technology company Afterpay, who initially listed it for 28million.Throughsavvynegotiation,Rihannasecuredasignificantdiscount,likelyleveragingtheimpendingmansiontaxinLosAngelessincethepurchasewasfinalizedonMarch31,justonedaybeforethenewtaxtookeffect.HadthedealclosedinApril,Molnarwouldhaveincurredanadditional28 million.

As visitors step off the private elevator landing into the condo’s entrance gallery, they are greeted by the striking curving wall of floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room, which offers breathtaking views of the city skyline. The dining area features dark brown hardwood floors that seamlessly transition into the all-white kitchen, equipped with marble countertops, two islands, and top-of-the-line appliances.
