Divorce is difficult for anyone, but when you’re a renowned “rap God”, fashion magnate, self-proclaimed spiritual leader, and a recently named billionaire trailing off of a heart-wrenching divorce with Kim Kardashian, an equally prominent social media mogul, a guarantee of serene isolation away from the Hollywood scene sounds like the only ideal escape. In the past several months it has become clear that when Wyoming calls, Kanye West saddles up and he is definitely not afraid to drop millions on *multiple* Wyoming-based therapy ranches. The extremely celebrated rap legend made his first and second purchases in rocky mountainous Wyoming just two months apart. Though both properties boasted vast acreage, the first flaunting 4,524-acres of land, and being purchased for a whopping $7.7 million, the latter, and larger, property purchase nearly doubled the price of the first. Kanye, now for a $22.2 million composite has secured both a 6,700-acre personal haven known as Bighorn Mountain Ranch in Greybull, Wyoming and the aforementioned 4,524-acre Monster Lake Ranch in Cody, Wyoming.

It is evident that Kanye has decided to separate his private affairs from his public endeavors by spreading them evenly over the two estates; after all, for a megastar and billionaire, two is certainly better than one. Kanye uses his smaller ranch in Cody to host his signature Sunday mass and concerts, as well as other public events while retreating discretely to his second ranch, which is even more so a vision of grandeur and situated 50 miles away, to live and write music in the wake of his recent divorce.

With such marvelous estates, surrounding mountainous terrain to enjoy moments of solace in, and the ability to dive into his painful and recent divorce, West’s creativity is abundant. In Bighorn Mountain Ranch which features seven bedrooms and seven bathrooms, Kanye’s tenth studio album, Donda, was written and produced. The album, which was originally scheduled for July 23rd has now reportedly been pushed back until around August 6th.

The gorgeous and extensive enclave is a vision of classic elegance with smooth wooden furnishings and primarily neutral-toned color palettes. The exterior features a stunning mahogany log base accented by forest green roofs and bordering. The cozy home blends sumptuousness with absolute comfort and welcoming energy by seamlessly implementing amenities such as two heated helicopter pads for year-round access, a solar water pump and purification tank, a bar, a cookhouse cabin, and an outdoor cooking area with a fire pit and grills to complement the more traditional and rustic exterior and interior design of the home. The main house, which was recently renovated prior to purchase, features elevated high ceilings, a sunroom, a comfortable master bedroom, and a vast terrace. Kanye’s Wyoming getaway pays homage to the natural environment of its surrounding, and the three private cabins on the estate sit atop a slightly raised hill overlooking a gorgeous lake, a hidden creek that runs through the ranch, and an incredible mountainous and viridescent view. 

In a time of high emotions and great difficulty for the 44-year-old mainstream Hollywood tycoon, Kanye has decided to seek refuge at his Wyoming oasis. We expect success for West’s upcoming album of vulnerability, Donda, and hope for healing after his heartbreak.

To gain relevance is one thing, but to keep that popularity is entirely another. American rapper, singer, songwriter, record producer, and actor, Scott Ramon Seguro Mescudi, renowned under the name Kid Cudi, has done both of these things while staying humble and relatable through it all. The 37-year-old multi-talented musical tycoon has been candid about his ongoing battle with mental illnesses, ultimately creating a cult fanbase who not only appreciates his musical genius but also admires him for his raw resilience and character. With so many facets and talents to him, Cudi could be working on anything after the release of his most recent, uber-successful 2020 album, Man On The Moon III: The Chosen. Though Kid Cudi’s next musical move remains unspecified and entirely unknown, the rap legend will be making moves, and hopefully mixing music soon, in his new Calabasas mansion. Kid Cudi’s most recent endeavor, the purchase of a massive Calabasas estate for $7.7 million, could serve as a permanent home for the celebrated rapper, or as an adept investment. As a multidimensional, incredibly rounded individual, Cudi’s branch into real estate investment would not invoke disbelief. Whatever the intent of his recent grand purchase, we’re certain Cudi’s new residence will galvanize and inspire him to make fresh music.

The two-time Grammy winner is moving into a neighborhood where he’ll definitely feel at home, with neighbors who boast impressive status in the rap community, the Man On The Moon singer will be situated amongst the stars as he makes his marvelous move. Calabasas, CA notoriously attracts the ultra-rich and famous, so Cudi’s striking list of neighbors, which includes Drake, Will Smith, Jada Pinkett, and frequent collaborator with Kid Cudi, Kanye West, is to be expected. Perhaps the two music magnates will collaborate once more in the midst of Kanye West’s split from Kim Kardashian. Whatever the case may be, Cudi is set to move into an enormous, and stunning, Californian enclave. 

The newly remodeled 2001 mansion flaunts six bedrooms, eight bathrooms, and 9,000-square-feet, and sits atop a hill behind double gates for an air of grandeur. Spread over 11.5 acres, the expansive home is a true vision, and comes complete with a fitness center, a home theatre, and a temperature-controlled wine cellar room as some of the amenities. Additionally, the sight of splendor offers a refined two-story entrance with a double staircase, a gorgeous living room connecting to a bar area, an elegant dining room, a freshly updated chef’s kitchen, complete with Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, and direct access from the elevated family room to the adjacent outdoor area. Just up the stairs, guests will be greeted by five en-suite bedrooms with remodeled and furnished bathrooms, a vast loft space, and of course, the master suite which is fit for a king. Featuring a private balcony, dual walk-in closets, a bathroom with both a shower and a tub as well as dual vanities, and a sitting room, the luxurious master suite will absolutely spoil the hip-hop music icon. The exterior living spaces of the property are just as exciting and lavish as the interior, with a pool that includes a grotto, slide, dolphin fountains, waterfalls, and spa, the home, just like its main resident himself, is built to entertain. The vast lot also includes a beautiful vineyard which could potentially inspire a Kid Cudi wine label in the future, a putting green and sport court for the athletically-inclined, a serene turtle pond, a fire pit with bench seating which overlooks the stunning stars and breathtaking mountain view, and an outdoor fireplace beside a Tiki-style hut with a built-in grill. 

In essence, Kid Cudi’s originally listed as $8.3M but purchased at $7.7M home is an absolute dream and is so well-deserved by the hardworking and multi-talented rap mogul.

Julianne Moffet with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices represented the listing.

Madelaine Petsch is known, and loved, for quite a lot; the bubbly, fiery-headed, South African celebrity has made a name for herself in more fields than just acting. We, of course, are amazed by her ability to transform on-screen into Cheryl Blossom, the bitter yet lovable high school-aged beauty queen, yet we also appreciate her YouTube content where the talented actress drops her disguise, revealing her genuine personality and connecting intimately with her massive audience. The duality of media formats that Petsch has employed not only serves to broaden her reach and influence but also has served to double the 26-year-old star’s success. In the current digital age, YouTube is a highly celebrated and lucrative platform as it allows for a much more personal approach to content creation, and subsequently, feels more in touch with fans. Petsch has taken advantage of this “YouTube era,” and with almost seven million subscribers and over 250 million views on her self-titled lifestyle and vlogging channel, she is situated as one of the most successful actress-YouTuber hybrids today. 

Between landing major acting jobs and consistently creating original content on YouTube, it is no secret that Petsch’s hard work brings home prime profit, and in her latest endeavor, she continues to exercise her business-savvy mindset. In her most recent pursuit, Petsch purchased a $3.4 million Mediterranean-style architectural masterpiece in the heart of Hollywood Hills to call her new home.

Whether securing the originally-built-in-1937 lavish estate, featuring top-tier security and remodeled elevated interiors, will serve as a permanent residence for Petsch or as a lofty investment is unclear, but it is certain that Petsch will enjoy the luxurious enclave while it’s hers. Nearby neighbors include equally impressive names, Felicity Huffman, Winona Ryder, and Danai Gurira, though with large gates and walls Petsch has ensured her absolute privacy. As previously mentioned, the exterior of the gorgeous home is reminiscent of the Mediterranean, yet with a reworked interior, the home boasts the seamless synergy of classic sophistication and sleek modernity. Inside the sumptuous three-bedroom, three-and-a-half bathroom 3,575-square-foot residence, guests will admire clean and contemporary structures and decor. The elegant living room features exquisite and unique herringbone oak floors and a marble fireplace as a centerpiece. The den and office area provides ample natural light through exaggerated doors and windows. The kitchen, which Petsch adores to spend time cooking vegan meals in, comes complete with cutting-edge Wolf and SubZero appliances and leads to a vast dining room. Upstairs, the three bedrooms are situated, all of which feature their own enclosed bathroom with a tub, and dual closets. Madelaine’s own master bedroom flaunts a balcony that overlooks the home’s expansive yard for an incredible forest-like Californian view. Amenities and special features of the home include an outdoor spiral staircase leading to a back patio and lawn and a fire pit with a built-in seating area. The property does not yet have a pool on-site, but if Petsch wants one, we know there will be one soon.

The socialite, YouTuber, and celebrated actress evidently fell in love with the stunning home enclosed in Outpost Estates as she offered, and paid, nearly $300,000 over the asking price in a bid to own the splendid property. Just like Cheryl Blossom, Madelaine Petsch knows how to get what she wants and we cannot wait to see what she does next.
