The Century’s largest mansion, covering the entire 40th floor with a view not everyone can have, is owned by Rihanna

Since 2014, Rihanna has made The Century, one of Los Angeles’ most costly and prestigious residential buildings, her primary abode. She’s feeling a little crowded in her three-bedroom, 3,500 square foot home, though, with a new baby and a second child on the way, employees, and her constant entourage.

In order to correct this predicament, the Barbadian superstar spent $21 mιllιon to рurchase one of The Century’s largest residences, a penthouse that takes up the whole 40th level of the structure. The spread is fit for any A-lister with more than 9,000 square feet of living space, several custom features, and breathtaking views.

The apartment was sold by billionaire co-founder of the technology business Afterpay Nick Molnar, who had originally asked for $28 mιllιon. However, Rihanna negotiated a significant reduction and probably used L.A.’s mansion tax as leverage because the рurchase was finalized on March 31, only one day before the new tax went into effect. Molnar would have owing an extra $1.1 mιllιon in taxes if the рurchase had been completed in April.
