One of the most opulent residential complexes in Los Angeles, The Century, has been home to Rihanna since 2014. However, as her family, employees, and guests grew, her 3,500-square-foot, three-bedroom apartment began to feel a little small.
The Barbados celebrity spent $21 million for a huge penthouse that took up the full 40th story of the skyscraper in order to address this. The new house is suitable for an A-lister, with more than 9,000 square feet of living space, unique amenities, and stunning vistas.
The house was first marketed for $28 million by its previous owner, Nick Molnar, a billionaire and co-founder of Afterpay.
But Rihanna managed to negotiate a sizable discount—probably by taking advantage of L.A.’s recently implemented mansion tax, which went into force in April. She saved Molnar an additional $1.1 million in taxes by completing the transaction on March 31.
A private elevator landing that opens into a large entrance gallery welcomes visitors to the penthouse. The living room’s floor-to-ceiling curving windows provide breathtaking views of the Los Angeles skyline. The dining area’s dark brown hardwood floors blend in perfectly with the kitchen’s all-white design, which includes two islands, marble countertops, and high-end appliances.
A luxurious master suite with a curved bedroom, two custom walk-in closets, two spa-like bathrooms, and a separate lounge are among the other delights, as is a soundproof movie theater with plush velour seating.
The condo’s four outside terraces, each facing a different direction, are arguably its most striking feature. These provide sweeping views of the San Gabriel Mountains, Catalina Island, Downtown Los Angeles, the Pacific Ocean, and even the snow-capped Mount Baldy.
Although Rihanna’s new apartment has a high monthly HOA fee of $8,814, it gives her access to all of The Century’s first-rate amenities. These consist of: ✅ Four designated parking spots ✅ Round-the-clock security and concierge services ✅ A swimming pool and beautiful landscaping ✅ On-site dining options and meeting rooms ✅ Private storage facilities
Rihanna has made sure that she and her expanding family will have unparalleled comfort, seclusion, and stunning vistas in the center of Los Angeles with this opulent makeover.
