00:00To Kanye West, who is moving into a brand new neighborhood
00:04here in LA.
00:05And he has not lived here in quite some time.
00:08And by the way, this ain't a shack.
00:10Yes, you can see what's bringing him back to LA.
00:14That is an aerial of the $35 million
00:17estate that he has purchased in Beverly Hills Park.
00:22Beverly Park.
00:23It is a swanky, swanky area.
00:27It's a gated community.
00:29Justin Bieber lives there.
00:30Adele lives there.
00:31She bought her house from Sylvester Stallone.
00:34Tons of stars have lived there over the years.
00:39My question is this.
00:40I got a bunch of them.
00:41Number one, he's led this nomadic life for two years.
00:44I would love to know what was the motivation to now
00:47come back to LA.
00:48Might be his kids.
00:49I mean, they have four kids in LA.
00:52But the other thing is, can you imagine
00:55being Kanye's neighbor?
00:57Finding out, guess who bought this house?
00:59I know, but you know what, go back to the house
01:01and I'll tell you why I don't think
01:02this is that much of an issue.
01:03I know what you're gonna say.
01:04That it's all.
01:05No, this is not a neighborhood where people
01:07are knocking on the door with, you know,
01:10here's, knocking on the door and say,
01:12oh, here's a basket.
01:13Welcome to the neighborhood.
01:14There are homeowner's associations.
01:16And you don't hear anything.
01:18You can't even see your neighbor.
01:20I live like six inches from my neighbor, but like.
01:23I know, but, and Babcock, we've talked about
01:25the problems you have there.
01:26Right.
01:27But beyond that, one of the big,
01:30one of the.
01:30I'm not gonna leave, don't talk about it.
01:33One of the biggest problems in situations like that
01:36is the homeowner's association.
01:38That they have board meetings.
01:40Right, because it is a gated community.
01:41And they can just turn into colossal disasters.
01:43And when Kanye wants to do what Kanye wants to do.
01:46And if anything he's doing is loud enough
01:50or disruptive enough or drawing enough traffic.
01:53Is he gonna go quietly?
01:54Then the HOA is definitely gonna be knocking on his door.
01:57Oh yeah.
01:58But, we don't, I'm trying to think back.
02:01Gee, we don't know.
02:01We don't have a, hold on.
02:02We don't have a history as far as Kanye
02:04living in a neighborhood.
02:06There's no history of him being disruptive, right?
02:08No.
02:09So there's no reason to think that.
02:10I understand.
02:11There's no reason to think that.
02:11I understand that he says and does.
02:13Has he ever lived in a gated community?
02:15Well, he did live, yes.
02:16He did live with Kim.
02:18Yeah, with Kim.
02:19That's true.
02:20But, since then.
02:21Did this hurt the property value?
02:23No.
02:24No?
02:25It's erratic.
02:26How does it hurt the property value?
02:27He's erratic, but he's also a very, very wealthy man.
02:30Right?
02:30And that's really what they care about.
02:32Well, they're gonna look at the Malibu property
02:34that he bought where he tore it apart and left it.
02:36Yeah, as long as he doesn't gut the house
02:38and then move out.
02:39And just left it.
02:40If he does that to the house in Beverly Park,
02:43yes, they're gonna have a problem.
02:44By the way, so you bring that up.
02:46So he paid 35 million for this place.
02:48He lost about 36, 37 million on that place.
02:52Right.
02:53He bought it for 57 and sold it for 21, I think.
02:54So, when we talk about all the money that Kanye lost
02:57in the Adidas deal and all that,
02:58remember, he's still incredibly wealthy.
03:01Yeah, everybody thinks,
03:02oh my God, he must be broke.
03:02No, far from it.
03:04Johnny Benitez, Brooklyn, New York.
03:07Kanye West's new mansion looks absolutely fantastic.
03:09As you can see from the aerial view,
03:11it literally looks like the biggest house
03:13in the neighborhood.
03:14And if not, it's the most spread out.
03:15And with those 11 bedrooms,
03:17I'm very interested to see what kind of activities,
03:20what kind of guests he's gonna be having over,
03:22Justin Bieber does live in the neighborhood,
03:23Denzel Washington, all these names that we hear.
03:26So it'll be very exciting to see.
03:27But yeah, I'm very happy to see
03:29that Kanye has good taste in homes.
03:30After what he did to that Malibu mansion,
03:32I was a little bit worried.
