Kanye “Ye” West, whose business empire has suffered major fallout amid the star’s ongoing anti-Semitic outbursts, is selling a Malibu estate he purchased in late 2021 for $57.3 million in an off-market deal.

On the positive side, it can be brought up to 2024 standards, having been built about 10 years ago.

What’s important, Oppenheim adds, is that the concrete exterior remains intact. “The architectural integrity of Tadao Ando’s work exists today,” he says Sunset sale Al-Najm Real Estate Brokerage. “He’s pretty much known for his concrete work, and the big cost of this house is the concrete work.”
