Rihanna House: Where She Lives Now, and Every Property in Her Real Estate History

Coverage of this particular portfolio is unusually error-prone. Search results still describe homes she sold years ago as current, still call a lease an acquisition, and still describe a two-house Beverly Hills compound that stopped being two houses in 2023.

So here is the plain version first. The primary Rihanna house is a gated 1930s estate in Beverly Crest, in the hills above Beverly Hills, bought in early 2021, where she now lives with A$AP Rocky and their three children. Her other long-held property is a beachfront villa in Barbados, bought in 2013 and not reported sold. Beyond those, her history breaks into three groups: properties she has since sold, homes she rented rather than owned, and at least one condo whose current ownership status is not clear from public reporting. This article sorts them property by property.

Where Does Rihanna Live? The Short Answer

She lives in Los Angeles, in a gated estate in Beverly Crest, a hillside area inside Los Angeles city limits just north of the Beverly Hills city line. The house measures roughly 7,600 square feet with five bedrooms and seven bathrooms, and the reported purchase price was about $13.8 million.

Reporting in March 2026 tied the property directly to her. A woman was charged after allegedly firing shots toward the house. Prosecutors said Rihanna, A$AP Rocky, their three children, and Rihanna’s mother were on the property at the time and that no one was injured, and the woman pleaded not guilty later that month. Coverage from the Associated Press, the Los Angeles Times, Variety, and Los Angeles broadcast outlets identified the home as hers.

Two clarifications that most articles skip:

• She also still owns property in Barbados. Architectural Digest reports she has held her One Sandy Lane villa since 2013, and no sale has been reported.
• She no longer owns the house next door. The second property, bought for $10 million in 2021, sold in 2023. The “Rihanna compound” framing you’ll see in older articles is out of date.

The Los Angeles Estate She Actually Lives In

One point deserves clearing up before anything else, because it is the source of most confusion about the Rihanna home location. The house sits in Beverly Crest, which is part of the City of Los Angeles, not the City of Beverly Hills. That is why LAPD, rather than Beverly Hills police, handled the March 2026 investigation.

The area does carry a 90210 mailing address, which is where the long-standing real estate label “Beverly Hills Post Office” comes from. That label sticks because listings use it, and listings use it because it sells. It is shorthand, not a municipal boundary. The precise answer is Beverly Crest, Los Angeles.

The purchase

The Real Deal reported the deal in March 2021, citing Dirt: $13.8 million for a 7,600-square-foot house in the Beverly Hills Post Office area near Trousdale Estates. A handful of later write-ups place the recorded transaction in late 2020, a common gap between when a deal closes and when it surfaces in the press.

If you need one date and one figure, use early 2021 and roughly $13.8 million. A few outlets cite $13.75 million. Anything more precise than that, such as a specific closing day, is not supported by what is publicly available.

The seller was investor Daniel Starr, who bought the house in 2016 and, according to The Real Deal, demolished and rebuilt most of the original 1938 structure before suing his contractors in 2019 over the work. Before Starr, the house belonged to novelist Mary Sheldon, daughter of I Dream of Jeannie creator Sidney Sheldon. The property had briefly been listed publicly at around $15 million, but the sale to Rihanna was done off market.

The title is not held in her own name. The Associated Press reported in March 2026 that public records show the property held by a trust run by Evan Jehle, who sits on the advisory board of Rihanna’s Clara Lionel Foundation.

What the inside looks like

There has never been an official Rihanna house tour published by a design magazine. No sanctioned walkthrough, no styled shoot, no interview from the living room. What exists instead comes from an unexpected source: in July 2021, a few months after the purchase, the house was listed as a rental at $80,000 a month, which put professional listing photography into circulation. That listing is the source of many of the interior images that have been widely republished since.

From that documented material, the house reads as a renovated 1930s structure finished in a contemporary Los Angeles style: white walls, French oak floors, black accents, and a good deal of marble. Rooms photographed and described in listing coverage include a chef’s kitchen with two islands and gold-toned fixtures, a cocktail bar, formal living and family rooms, and a primary suite with a walk-in closet, a marble bath, and a private terrace looking out over Coldwater Canyon. A second-floor gym runs along a wall of windows facing a central open-air courtyard.

Outside, the roughly half-acre lot holds a swimming pool and spa, a fire pit lounge, dining and lounge terraces, and a guesthouse. Access is through a long gated drive behind mature hedging.

Be careful with anything beyond that. Rihanna has posted from inside the home on her own social accounts, and those posts are legitimate. But a great deal of what circulates as Rihanna home interior imagery on Pinterest and aggregator sites is either from a different property she once rented or not connected to her at all.

The neighbors, and the neighborhood

The cul-de-sac has been reported over the years as home to Paul McCartney, and as a current or former address for Madonna and Mariah Carey. Trousdale Estates sits nearby.

What distinguishes this pocket is topography rather than scale. These are hillside lots reached by narrow canyon roads, with limited sightlines from the street and no through traffic. Gated access and a secluded setting are the defining characteristics of a private residence in this part of the hills.

The $10 Million House Next Door She No Longer Owns

Within a few months of the first purchase, she bought the adjacent property for $10 million in an off-market deal, and for about two years she did control both parcels.

The second house was a Tudor built in the late 1930s, with four bedrooms, front-facing gables, half-timbering, and dormers, set on just under half an acre. Interior descriptions from listing material mention exposed beams, cathedral ceilings, stone flooring, original fireplaces, and a chef’s kitchen, along with a pool area, a half basketball court, a fire pit, and a guest apartment above a detached garage.

Square footage is the clearest example in this whole portfolio of sources disagreeing. The sale listing put the house at about 5,100 square feet. Architectural Digest and Dirt reported roughly 3,500. That gap is too large to be a typo, and no public source explains it, so neither figure should be quoted as settled.

She listed it in 2023 at just under $10.5 million and sold it for just under $10.3 million, reportedly to talent agent Tracey Jacobs.

Status: sold. The two-house compound described in older coverage is no longer a current holding.

The Barbados House: One Sandy Lane

In October 2013, at 25, she bought a beachfront residence at One Sandy Lane on the west coast of Barbados, a short distance from the Sandy Lane Hotel. Reported figures cluster tightly, with the asking price given as $21.8 million and the purchase widely reported at $22 million. According to Page Six’s original reporting, the purchase followed a stay in the same development, which she had rented for a family visit the previous year.

One Sandy Lane is not a single villa but a small enclave of eight residences, each around 10,000 square feet, run with hotel-style service. Her unit is reported to have five en suite bedrooms, each with a private terrace and dressing room, along with a large pool, a private gym, and 24-hour concierge service.

Architectural Digest’s most recent accounting states she still owns it, and no sale has been reported. This is the longest-held property in her portfolio and the only Rihanna luxury home outside the United States that public reporting establishes she owns rather than rents.

In 2012, Rihanna bought a five-bedroom Barbados home as a gift for her mother, Monica Braithwaite. It sits not far from One Sandy Lane, but it is a separate property and not one of Rihanna’s own residences, though several roundups merge the two.

Rihanna Drive is not one of her properties

This distinction matters, because search results blur it constantly. The three-bedroom bungalow where she grew up sits on what was Westbury New Road in St. Michael. On Barbados Independence Day, November 30, 2017, the government officially renamed the street Rihanna Drive, and she attended the ceremony. The house remains a private residence, separate from her One Sandy Lane property, and is not treated as part of her current portfolio.

Her connection to the street is ongoing. In August 2026, during a trip to the island, she brought her three children there and posted about it, writing that it felt strange to go from being “that kid from Westbury” to bringing her own kids back to a road with her name on it. If you are researching the Rihanna Barbados house, keep the childhood bungalow and the One Sandy Lane villa in separate columns.

The Rest of Her Los Angeles Real Estate

Her Los Angeles history is longer than most summaries suggest, and much of it involves buying and then exiting.

The 2009 house that leaked. Her first significant purchase was a $6.9 million contemporary in the Beverly Hills Post Office area: three stories, roughly 8,520 square feet, with eight bedrooms and ten bathrooms reported, on about three-quarters of an acre. Rain intruded through a second-floor balcony in early 2010. She sued the seller, the inspector, the brokers, and the engineers, listed the house in November 2011 at $4.5 million, and sold it a month later for $5.03 million. The litigation settled in 2014. After renovation, John Legend and Chrissy Teigen bought it for $14.1 million in 2016, and it has changed hands more than once since, selling for $15 million in 2023 according to Robb Report.

The Century, unit one. She bought a roughly 3,500-square-foot condo in The Century, the 42-story Robert A.M. Stern tower in Century City, in 2014. Reported price varies between $5.2 million and $5.5 million. Building amenities include a 75-foot pool, four acres of gardens, 24-hour concierge, and controlled resident access. Architectural Digest reports she still owns it, and through the early 2020s several outlets described this unit, not the hillside house, as her main Los Angeles base.

The Century, unit two. In March 2023 she paid $21 million for the entire 40th floor, a 9,300-square-foot penthouse previously owned by Matthew Perry, who bought it in 2017 for $20 million and renovated it with architect Scott Joyce and designer L.M. Pagano. Perry sold it in 2021 to Afterpay cofounder Nick Molnar, who had asked $28 million. Reporting at the time said she never moved in. It went back on the market in early 2024 at just under $25 million and sold later that year for just under $20.8 million.

Wilshire Corridor condo. Reportedly bought in 2015 for $925,000, about 2,000 square feet on an upper floor. Current ownership status is unclear from public reporting, and any article stating definitively that she still owns it is going beyond the evidence.

Hollywood Hills villa. Bought in July 2017 for $6.8 million: a 2015-built Mediterranean-influenced house of 7,130 square feet with six bedrooms and ten bathrooms on half an acre, plus a guesthouse fitted out as a gym, a home theater, and an infinity pool. Trespassing was reported at the property in 2018. She listed it in December 2018 at just under $7.5 million, offered it as a $35,000-a-month rental in 2019, relisted at $7.8 million in September 2021, and sold in August 2022 for $6.6 million.

West Hollywood flip. Also in 2017, a $2.75 million Spanish-style house of just over 2,600 square feet with four bedrooms, four and a half baths, a pool, and a two-story guesthouse. She relisted it at $2.85 million within three months and sold shortly after.

The Rentals That Fill Out the Timeline

Several of the homes most often labeled as hers were never owned at all.

Pacific Palisades, 2012. This one has never been reported consistently. A few outlets in late 2012 described a purchase. Architectural Digest and The Real Deal both describe a lease at $65,000 a month, and The Real Deal reported that she later sublet the house for about two years, wording that points to a tenancy rather than ownership. What the sources do agree on: she moved into the bluff-top house, reported at roughly 11,000 square feet with seven bedrooms, in 2012; trespassers arrived within months and she moved out; the house was listed for sale in 2014 at just under $15 million; and it sold to a third party for $11.175 million in 2016. Confident claims that she bought it for $12 million are not well supported.

Manhattan, 2013 to 2017. A Chinatown penthouse at $39,000 a month, rising to roughly $50,000 by the time she left: about 4,600 square feet over two floors, a 2,400-square-foot wraparound terrace, four bedrooms, 13-foot ceilings, concrete floors, a steel-and-wood floating staircase, and Empire State Building views.

“The Fortress,” 2014 to 2017. Above the Sunset Strip, designed by David Lawrence Gray Architects, with 40-foot ceilings, walls of glass, a Porsche Design kitchen, a two-bedroom guesthouse, and a distinctively shaped pool. Published size figures vary, with Architectural Digest citing about 10,000 square feet and some property write-ups going higher. Rent was $60,000 a month. She took the house after leaving the Pacific Palisades property, and it is known in the local industry for its steel-and-concrete construction.

London, 2018 to 2020. A five-story white stucco villa on St John’s Wood Park, built around 1844 to a design by John Shaw Junior and originally owned by De Beers director Daniel Francis. Eight bedrooms across 6,332 square feet, a library, an open-plan kitchen, a gym, a cinema room, parking for about ten cars, and a 21-foot terrace over a large rear garden. Interior details reported at the time included mirror-lined ceilings, black parquet floors, and a music room with a crystal-lined bar. She reportedly paid £18,000 a week. After she returned to the States, the house was listed at £32 million and sold in October 2023 for £27.5 million, which agents described as a record for the street on a per-square-foot basis. She never owned it.

The Hamptons, summer 2020. A waterfront house in North Sea, near Southampton, taken for one month from mid-July to mid-August at a reported $415,000. Contemporary coverage put it at roughly 8,900 square feet with five bedrooms, though published size figures differ.

Rihanna Property Timeline at a Glance

How Many Rihanna Houses Are There Really?

Three properties are currently reported as hers with reasonable confidence: the Beverly Crest estate, the One Sandy Lane villa, and the smaller Century City condo. A fourth, the Wilshire Corridor unit, has an unclear status. The Barbados house she bought for her mother is a family property rather than a residence of hers, and the childhood bungalow on Rihanna Drive has never been part of her portfolio.

Add the original purchase prices of those three and you get roughly $41 million. That number is not a valuation. It is a sum of what was paid across a twelve-year span, before renovations and before more than a decade of Los Angeles and Caribbean price movement. There is no public appraisal of her portfolio, and figures circulating online that assign a specific current dollar value to her real estate are estimates built on other estimates.

One more thing worth saying plainly. No public record offers a live, complete inventory. Homes held through trusts and other entities can be bought or sold without any announcement, so the honest ceiling on this question is what credible reporting has established, not certainty. Any site giving you a confident total is guessing.

What Her Documented Properties Have in Common

Celebrity homes coverage of Rihanna tends to focus on price tags. The public record supports a narrower and more useful observation: certain physical characteristics show up repeatedly across the homes she has owned and rented.

Look at the documented features rather than the numbers. The Pacific Palisades house sat behind a private gated drive. The Sunset Strip house she rented next is known in the local industry as the Fortress for its steel-and-concrete construction. Her Century City condo sits in a tower with 24-hour concierge and controlled resident access. The Barbados residence is one of eight units in a staffed enclave. The Beverly Crest house is gated, hedged, and sited on a hillside cul-de-sac with no through traffic.

Documented incidents run alongside that pattern. Trespassers arrived at the Palisades house within months of her moving in, per contemporaneous reporting from The Real Deal and Curbed. Trespassing was reported at the Hollywood Hills house in 2018, before she began trying to sell it. And in March 2026, prosecutors alleged that a woman fired shots at the Beverly Crest property while the family was home.

The most expensive purchases in her documented history are not the Los Angeles house she lives in. The Barbados villa cost more, and so did the Century City penthouse she bought in 2023 and sold the following year. Among the properties she is currently reported to own, the Barbados villa and the Century City condo are the longest-held, and both sit inside staffed, controlled-access developments.

Rihanna House Photos: What’s Reliable

Real, verifiable imagery of her homes exists, but less of it than search results imply.

• The Beverly Crest house: professional photography from the July 2021 rental listing, widely republished with attribution. This is the most reliable source of Rihanna mansion photos of the current home.
• Sold properties: listing photography from the Hollywood Hills, West Hollywood, and Tudor sales, published alongside sale reporting.
• Former rentals: the London villa was photographed extensively by its listing agents in 2020 and 2021, so those interiors are well documented.
• News imagery: wire photographs of the exterior taken in March 2026 by AP and Getty photographers.

What is not reliable: unattributed Rihanna home photos on social aggregators and Pinterest boards, images labeled as One Sandy Lane that may show any of the eight residences, and anything presented as a current interior without a named listing or publication behind it.

The practical rule is simple. If a photo has no chain of custody back to a named listing or publication, don’t assume the property identification is correct.

About the Rihanna House Address

Coverage of a private home is appropriately handled at the neighborhood level, and that is the level used throughout this article. The Los Angeles residence is in Beverly Crest, on a gated cul-de-sac in the hills north of the Beverly Hills city line, inside Los Angeles city limits. Her Barbados residence can be identified by development name, One Sandy Lane, because that is a named property with a public profile. Exact street-level or house-number information is not published here.

How We Checked This

This article is built on published reporting and listing material, not an original property records search. Where a fact rests on a single outlet, that outlet is named in the text.

The main sources reviewed were contemporaneous trade and news coverage from The Real Deal, Dirt via The Hollywood Reporter, Robb Report, and Architectural Digest; wire and newspaper reporting from the Associated Press and the Los Angeles Times for the March 2026 incident; and UK and Caribbean property coverage for the London and Barbados entries. Listing descriptions and photography were used only where they were republished with attribution.

Four things could not be independently confirmed, and the article says so where they appear:

• Current title on the Century City condo rests on Architectural Digest’s reporting rather than a records check.
• The Wilshire Corridor condo’s status is genuinely unknown from public sources.
• Square footage on the Tudor and on the Hamptons rental is reported differently by credible outlets.
• Whether the 2012 Pacific Palisades arrangement was a lease or a purchase is described one way in some 2012 coverage and another way in later reporting.

Deliberately left out: street-level address details, unattributed images, and any single-figure valuation of the portfolio.

Last checked August 31, 2026. Property ownership can change without public announcement, so if you are reading this well after that date, treat the current-holdings section as a starting point rather than a live record.

The Bottom Line

Rihanna’s real estate history resolves into four clear groups.

Current or most recently reported: a gated hillside estate in Beverly Crest, Los Angeles, bought in early 2021 for about $13.8 million, identified in 2026 reporting as the home she shares with A$AP Rocky and their three children. A beachfront villa at One Sandy Lane in Barbados, bought in 2013, which Architectural Digest reports she still owns. And a condo at The Century in Century City, bought in 2014, also reported as a current holding.

Unclear: a Wilshire Corridor condo reportedly bought in 2015 for $925,000, with no reliable public confirmation either way.

Previously owned and sold: the 2009 Beverly Hills Post Office house, the Hollywood Hills villa, the West Hollywood flip, the Tudor next door to her current home, and the 40th-floor Century penthouse.

Rented, never owned: the Manhattan penthouse, the Sunset Strip Fortress, the London villa in St John’s Wood, the Hamptons summer rental, and, on the weight of the reporting, the Pacific Palisades house.

Most coverage of this subject blurs those categories together. Keeping them separate is the difference between a list of expensive addresses and an accurate picture of what she holds today.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where does Rihanna live now? In a gated hillside estate in Beverly Crest, Los Angeles, north of the Beverly Hills city line, with A$AP Rocky and their three children. The property was identified as her home in reporting from the Associated Press, the Los Angeles Times, and other outlets in March 2026.

Is Rihanna’s house in Beverly Hills or Los Angeles? Los Angeles. Beverly Crest is inside Los Angeles city limits. The area carries a 90210 mailing address, which is why listings and older articles often use the shorthand “Beverly Hills” or “Beverly Hills Post Office.”

How much did Rihanna’s house cost? About $13.8 million, per The Real Deal and Architectural Digest, with a few outlets citing $13.75 million. It was an off-market purchase from investor Daniel Starr.

Does Rihanna still own her Barbados house? Yes, according to Architectural Digest’s current accounting. She bought the One Sandy Lane villa in October 2013, with the price widely reported at $22 million, and no sale has been reported.

Does Rihanna still own two houses in Beverly Hills? No. She bought the neighboring Tudor for $10 million in 2021 and sold it in 2023 for just under $10.3 million. Articles describing a two-house compound are outdated.

Did Rihanna own the Pacific Palisades mansion? Probably not. A few 2012 reports described a purchase, but Architectural Digest and The Real Deal both describe a lease at $65,000 a month, and The Real Deal reported she later sublet it. The house sold to a third party in 2016 for $11.175 million.

Is there an official Rihanna house tour? No design publication has produced a sanctioned walkthrough of her current home. The interior images in circulation come mainly from professional listing photography created when the house was offered as an $80,000-a-month rental in July 2021.

How many bedrooms does Rihanna’s house have? Five bedrooms and seven bathrooms, across roughly 7,600 square feet on about half an acre.

What happened to Rihanna’s London house? It was always a rental. She leased the St John’s Wood villa at a reported £18,000 a week from 2018 to 2020. The owners listed it at £32 million and sold it in October 2023 for £27.5 million.

What is Rihanna’s house address? Publicly appropriate detail stops at the neighborhood: Beverly Crest, in the hills of Los Angeles just north of Beverly Hills. Precise address information is not published here.

Is Rihanna Drive where Rihanna lives? No. Rihanna Drive in St. Michael, Barbados, was renamed from Westbury New Road in her honor on November 30, 2017. Her childhood bungalow there is a private residence. She visited the street with her three children in August 2026, but it is not one of her properties.

Prices are as reported at the time of each transaction and are not current valuations. Ownership held through trusts or other entities can change without public announcement, so status described here reflects the most recent credible reporting available.
