Kim Kardashian, or Kim Kardashian West as we now know her, is not a celebrity who plays
small.
Shes a social media personality, reality TV star, businesswoman, model, and more, with
147 million followers on Instagram at the time of this video (@kimkardashian).
I would say it’ a no brainer that Kim is one of the most well known influencers of
our time and has quite the influential family as well.
The Kardashian-Jenner clan has been famous for years now, and a lot of that started off
with Kim.
These days Kim also has her own family of moguls with her hubby Kanye West and their
4 children – North, Saint, Psalm and Chicago.
Just hearing the names of their kids, and if you know anything about Kim and Kanye,
you can also bet that their home is posh and eccentric like them, some have even called
it BIZARRE.
The two used to live in Bel Air, but sold that house, which we will take a look at as
well.
These days they have a 22 million dollar mansion in the Hidden Hills which is where pretty
much all the Kardashian clan buys their real estate – neighbours!
Kim has an estimated net worth of 350 mil and combine that with Kanye’s, I’m sure
you’re close to a billion.
That type of money can definitely build any type of palace or home that you dream of – and
then some.
So of course Kim lives in a spot that is nothing short of royalty.
Originally, Kim and Kanye were planning to keep their house a little more under wraps
and private, but that changed and they’ve since shared some interesting features of
their house on social media, as well as done some interviews there.
We’ll see what Kim’s mansion is really like and if it’s as strange as people say.
Hey guys, It's Kara and we’ve been trying something a little different here on this
channel.
Today we are gonna be taking a look Kim K’s mansion in the Hidden Hills that her and Kanye
thought up, and give the details of her house tour.
Of course, Kim’s home is interesting and one-of-a-kind to say the least.
If you like this idea I’ll make more house tour vids.
We also did one on Kylie Jenner’s perfect home that’s also in the Hidden Hills area,
as well as Ariana Grande’s mansion and NYC penthouse, and we’ll have links to those
at the end of this video.
I’ve also been reading all your comments and I’m going to be responding to some at
the end of this video.
I need you to let me know who to do next in the comments down below, and who’s home
you’d like to see.
Before we get into the minimalistic mansion that Kim lives in these days, we’re gonna
take a look at where her and Kanye used to live.
The two used to live in Bel Air, Los Angeles, and obviously real estate here is in the multi-million
dollar ballpark.
Kim and Kanye bought this mansion for a 11 million in 2013, but then stripped it down
completely and invested a couple million more in renos.
The new look was pretty minimalistic and bare, which sounds about right for Kim and Kanye’s
tastes.
The interior of the home was 9,000 square feet, with 5 beds and 7 baths, and sources
say that after renovations were through it looked more like a gallery than a home.
Not surprising.
There is a catwalk on the second story that joins the large foyer and living room.
The living room is pretty open concept as well with a large two story glass wall that
looks into the yard.
The kitchen in this house was mostly stainless steel and had a long island, and also on the
main level there’s an indoor-outdoor family room.
Upstairs, the master bedroom has rounded area and a balcony which overlooks the backyard.
Outside of course there’s also an infinity pool and two spas, surrounded by picture perfect
green space.
Kim said about this house that: “The interior design was all about neutral
tones and minimal furniture.
We also repositioned the pool and added a glam room with its own separate entrance.”
However, with their growing family, Kim and Kanye decided to move on from it a while after,
selling it for $17.8 million.
I also heard that it already was put on the market and sold again, but this time it went
down in value – so who knows what happened.
Let’s move on to the main attraction – Kim’s minimalistic, and pretty weird, family home.
Personally when I think about a family home, even if it’s a dream home, I would want
it to feel comfy and still slightly cozy.
Mansions are always so big, so of course they could feel cold and empty but Kim and Kanye’s
spot takes this to a whole new level.
Kim and Kanye paid $22.68 million for this home originally and then spent another $20
million in renovations – I also heard that if you get in the way of Kanye’s creative
genius he’ll can you on the spot.
That’s one method to getting the exact home you want I guess.
Apparently the mansion is now worth $60 million post renovations, so seems like all the hard
work paid off.
The address of this home is 24895 Long Valley Road in the Hidden Hills, according to Zillow.com,
which is a gated community.
So no creeping their house.
Hidden Hills is beside Calabasas California.
A handful of big name celebs call this area home, and like I mentioned, a lot of the Kardashian-Jenner
clan.
It only made sense that Kim moved here too.
Let’s just say you won’t find anything for under 10 million in this hood.
Spending 20 million on renovations, you already know that this house looked way different
before the Kardashian Wests got their hands on it.
The aerial pics of their reno process looks like they seriously demolished a lot of the
property
I actually liked the house before because although it was still a beautiful epic mansion,
it had a sense of home and wasn’t completely barren.
It had a French style and lots of brick and wood accents.
There were still high ceilings with wooden beams, and the bathrooms were gorgeous as
well.
My favorite part was probably the large covered patio and the pool with the fountains.
I think it’s so sad that they demolished that!
It was way too pretty.
Looking at the before pictures of Kim’s mansion at the time the couple bought it,
you can really see what 20 million dollars in renovations does.
So how does it look now?
These days, Kim and Kanye’s Hidden Hills palace has been compared to an ‘abandoned
museum’ and a ‘creepy convent’, among other things, but according to Kim it’s
like a ‘minimal monastery’.
Like that’s any more normal.
Just walking in you can feel these vibes from the foyer.
Kim’s mansion is 15,667 square ft with 8 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms.
There are also 8 fireplaces – which I’m not sure why is relevant but either way it
sounds excessive.
We can notice right away about Kim’s spot that everything is super WHITE and modern.
It’s also really open concept with not many doors to be seen anywhere.
There’s also a room with a piano which I think is supposed to be the living room?
But I really don’t know who’s living in there – there aren’t even any seats.
Ok actually there’s a small couch but still.
Not very comfy.
Aside from a naked statue there isn’t much occupying this room.
The kitchen now has a giant island perfect for food prep but it used to look very different
too, like everything else in Kim’s home.
I really want to know how the pair manages having infants and all this white furniture?
Kim actually told Architectural Digest when they asked this:
“Oh my God.
I run around the house with towels.
You just have to take a deep breath and say, ‘Ok, it’s going to happen.
We decided to have light colors.’”
Moving onto the bathroom, well the one that seems to be the focal point, it’s definitely
interesting.
After showing the bathroom in the house tour, some were confused because of the odd layout
and design – so Kim explained it further.
The master bathroom used to look like a pretty standard fancy, master bath – but now it’s
completely different.
There’s a large square tub that Kim says can fit all of the kids, and some weird sinks.
The sinks, Kim explained were designed by Kanye, Axel Vervoordt and Claudio Silvestrin.
Well, that’s the first time I’ve ever seen a sink like that.
Some other weird things in Kim’s mansion that she’s shown us are the light switches
that are just 3 small buttons for on, off, and ‘dim’.
She says that the switches not having a box around them like normal light switches makes
them more “visually appealing.”
In Kim’s bedroom, or their master bedroom they also have a big TV that comes out from
the floorboards which I think is pretty cool.
It’s actually 130 inches - to be exact.
The master bedroom’s appearance has changed a lot as well since Kim moved in.
Another part of Kim’s home she’s been so generous to show off is her closet.
This might even be the most familiar room in the mansion considering she often posts
pics in her outfit fittings going on there.
It’s perfectly organized with all the most lavish, designer gear you could imagine.
But what else would you expect?
Kanye also has plenty of closet space for himself – and all of his Yeezys
Outside the house, on 3.5 acres, there were originally two swimming pools, two spas, and
their own vineyard.
I’m not sure if during the mega renos Kim got rid of the vineyard, but we know that
it came as part of the original property.
Some additions to Kim’s property included a basketball court that was for Kanye’s
birthday, which we could see being created in some of the renovation pics.
As of last year, the couple was also installing a large body of water – like a giant swimming
pond or mini lake – to replace the two pools that were previously on the property.
The backyard was just recently completed as of this year, and they had to get building
permits because of the size of the pond, which is reportedly 20 by 60 feet.
Wow.
Just when you thought their home couldn’t get crazier.
The pools obviously just didn’t cut it for Kim.
In the recent photos of their property we can see the finished basketball court, giant
pool, and it looks like they still kept the vineyard.
In the photoshoot that Kim did for Vogue, it made her look like her mansion was more
homely and ‘chaotic’ than we’ve seen it is.
From the footage I saw, Kim’s mansion is past minimalistic and there were no toys to
be seen on the floor.
So don’t be fooled, after this vid you should really know what her and Kanye’s strangely
empty yet massive “home” is like.
What do you guys think about Kim’s house, cool, or too cold to live in?
I definitely like her sister Kylie’s place better.
I get more ‘home’ vibes looking at hers.
When two of the biggest celebrities get together and start a family, like Kim and Kanye, when
it comes to their living arrangements you should only expect greatness.
Even though the Bel Air home the two lived in previously was quite the mansion, their
current house in the Hidden Hills exceeds it and then some.
I also think that the Kardashian clan is buying up all of the Hidden Hills on purpose and
each family member HAS to get real estate there – or else.
From the bare walls to the extremely white and grey based interior of the home, Kim’s
mansion is ultra modern and I think a little bit eerie.
I don’t understand where all the ‘stuff’ is?
I mean, the most lived in looking place of the home is Kim’s closet and we know that’s
not the case.
I don’t want to knock Kanye’s interior design though cause I might hurt his feelings.
I don’t think that Kim and Kanye could do much else to their mansion to make it any
more epic or particular, but it’s hard to imagine either of them stopping there.
Although Kim’s mansion is complete at the moment, we’ll see what the future holds
for the family home and if any more major renovations are in store.
Ok guys!
So I’m gonna read out some of your comments from our other vids.
On our Kylie Jenner house tour vid, Joy Layton said
“I've learn thru life.
you can't give away what you have.
she earned her money.
I don't think no one makes any body buy her cosmetics.
she made it.
all I can say.
good for her”
That’s true Joy.
I think the influence of her family gave her a good head start but her cosmetic brand is
definitely all Kylie – can’t knock the girl for building an empire.
From our recent Before & After video on Blaire White, Elly White said
“Great video!
You got everything right”
Yay thanks Elly.
I had a lot of fun doing Blaire’s before and after video – she seems super cool so
I’m glad to hear that.
Let’s hope she agrees.
And finally on our Ariana Grande house tour vid, Zeph asked
“Is that apartment real?
What’s the name of it looks crazy”
Yes Zeph it’s indeed very real.
It’s called the Zaha Hadid Building, after the late architect who designed it.
There are only 39 apartments inside the futuristic looking building and they’re all three story
penthouses.
Aright guys, that's all I could find on Kim K’s home…or her and Kanye’s minimalistic
mansion I should say.
I look forward to reading what you guys think about her spot or if there’s anything I
might’ve missed.
What do you think was the weirdest thing in Kim’s house?
The sinks, the empty rooms?
I think that the living room was the strangest for me.
I don’t understand what one would do in there.
I actually liked the house before they did the 20 million dollar reno.
What did you guys like better?
Lemme know in the comments.
Also let me know some other celebrity houses you’d like to see.
I'll see you next week with some new videos.
Bye!
