Kim Kardashian’s Property Journey
Kim Kardashian, a reality star turned entrepreneur, has been in the public eye for over 15 years. With an estimated net worth of $1.7 billion, she has built a successful career through various businesses and has also grown a family. Her property portfolio reflects her journey to success.
Where Does Kim Kardashian Live?
The social media influencer, entrepreneur, and aspiring attorney has lived in several homes around the Los Angeles area, including Bel Air and Beverly Hills. She currently splits her time with her four children between her Hidden Hills mansion and a beautiful beach house in Malibu.
Kim Kardashian’s Childhood
Pictured here with her lawyer father, Robert Kardashian, and sister Kourtney, Kim grew up in the idyllic surroundings of Los Angeles. Her parents, Kris and Rob, raised their children, Kim, Kourtney, Khloe, and Rob, until their divorce in 1991.
Before the split, the Kardashian family lived together in this Beverly Hills 90210 mansion, a short hop from Rodeo Drive. According to property site Style of Home, after tying the knot in 1978, newly married Kris and Rob splashed out the tiny sum of $383,000 on the home a year later, eventually selling it in 1994 for a huge $1.5 million. Adjusted for inflation, that's $3.2 million.
The sprawling open-plan property in Beverly Hills stretches over 3,922 feet and was built in 1951. With four bedrooms and four bathrooms, the home had plenty of space for the young Kardashian clan. The décor has been updated since those days and it was for rent with Apartments.com in May 2025 for $17,500 per month.
In 1998, seven years after her mum Kris married Caitlyn Jenner, then known as Bruce, Kim graduated from Marymount High School in Bel Air, California, which she attended with future socialite friend, Paris Hilton. But it would be a few years before her career started to take off.
The Start of Kim Kardashian's Career
At just 20 years old, the soon-to-be reality star secretly wed music producer Damon Thomas. But when Kim’s dad passed away in 2003, her marriage broke down a year later. Around this time, she also became close with former high school friend Paris Hilton and began working as the celebutante’s assistant, where she got her first taste of the limelight. In a 2019 episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Kim acknowledged that Hilton "literally gave me a career."
But it wasn’t until 2007 when the reality show, Keeping Up With The Kardashians first aired on E! Entertainment that Kim gained her first taste of fame. The show followed the daily exploits of the Kardashian-Jenner family, including stepfather Caitlyn Jenner and younger half-sisters Kendall Jenner and Kylie Jenner. A year previously, in 2006, Kim, Kourtney and Khloé opened their first DASH store in Calabasas. They closed them in 2018 due to other work commitments.
Kim Kardashian’s First Condo
Just before she was first thrust into the limelight on KUWTK, Kim moved out into her first home in 2005. Taking up 1,720 square feet, the condo boasts three bedrooms and is located in the Beverly Grove area of Los Angeles. She sold up in 2010 for $885,000, and it was sold more than 10 years later in 2021 for $1.3 million, so it hasn’t increased phenomenally during that time. Just as well she moved on!
Kim Kardashian’s Beverly Hills Villa
After slowly climbing up the celebrity ranks, Kim released a perfume in 2009 and a year later bought her first mansion. This Tuscan-style gated resort villa was home to the star from 2010, when she bought it for $3.4 million. That would be $5 million in 2025. The five-bedroom, five-bathroom abode sweeps across nearly 4,000 square feet and boasts a private pool, perfect for filming KUWTK scenes.
Rich, hardwood flooring flows throughout a large chef’s kitchen complete with a center island that's lit by a plethora of hanging lights and paneled windows. The kitchen area opens out to the family room and a lower-level outdoor living space for large get-togethers and Kardashian family dos.
Ornate floor and wall tiling adorn the upstairs bathroom, which is illuminated via recessed spot-lighting, while wall sconces and two large windows provide leafy views over the garden and beyond.
During her three-year stint at the home, the businesswoman married former NBA basketball player Kris Humphries in August 2011. Despite featuring in a special titled Kim’s Fairytale Wedding: A Kardashian Event, Kim filed for divorce just 72 days into the marriage. The pair lived in the house together until their divorce was finalized in 2013, when Kim promptly sold the house for $3.6 million. If she sold it today that's $4.9 million.
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West
Shortly after her split from Kris Humphries, Kim started dating long-time friend Kanye West. After dating for two years, the pair married in May 2014. Unsurprisingly, their wedding was a high-profile celebrity-filled affair, held at Fort di Belvedere in Florence, Italy, following a seven-month engagement.
Before the birth of their first child, North West, in 2013, the couple bought this villa in Bel Air for $11 million. It's seen here in a video by X17 Online. They were there for fewer than two years when they sold up, but still managed to make a pretty profit, selling the six-bedroom, eight-bathroom pad for $17.8 million in 2014. Today, that's $23.8 million. At the time, it was the most expensive home ever sold in the gated community of Bel Air Crest.
Kim Kardashian’s Hidden Hills Mansion
In 2014, Kim and Kanye purchased this expansive estate in Hidden Hills for $20 million, set across three acres of land, boasting beautiful vineyards, mature trees and rolling lawns, as seen in a house tour video with Vogue. According to People Magazine, Kris Jenner Tweeted that the home was valued at around $60 million after the couple completely reimagined it. When adjusted for inflation, that's $76.7 million today.
Inside the palatial home, huge arching hallways and streams of white space make for a somewhat spiritual building. Speaking to Architectural Digest in February 2020, Kanye described the Hidden Hills mansion as a 'futuristic Belgian monastery.’ Designed by the couple alongside Belgian architect Axel Vervoodt, they spent $20 million on the extensive renovations.
During the renovations, the couple and their children stayed across the road at Kris' home for three years, eventually moving out in 2017. The massive house boasts two kitchens, two pantries, several freezers and a huge walk-in refrigerator. Here we can see the family in one of two kitchens that has a vast, round wooden table.
Kim paid $23 million to buy out her husband's share of the Hidden Hills house following their divorce in 2022, and has maintained its monastic vibe since. She has continued to put her stamp on the property, adding new art and personal items, but explained to Vogue in 2022: "Everything in my home is really minimal. I find there is so much chaos out there in the world that when I come home, I want it to be just very quiet."
Even the kitchen appears to be a temple to calm, with its light-colored wooden cabinets and cool marble counter top, not a trace of clutter in sight, which is pretty remarkable considering the star lives here with her four children from her marriage. “Shockingly, four kids have not messed up my cream house,” she says.
In the living room, an unbleached Steinway piano takes pride of place by the window, in keeping with the general neutral color scheme. Kim has admitted she gave up trying to learn to play years ago, but she's certainly got her hands full with reports in November 2024 suggesting she is undertaking a huge renovation project on her home. Several of the exterior walls were removed, exposing the interior, so perhaps Kim wants a change!
Kim's Calabasas Condos
Kim purchased a 2,260-square-foot condo for $1.6 million in 2017, in Calabasas, before listing the property for $3.5 million two years later. It was relisted in 2022 and 2023 but was reported to be still on the market in November 2024, despite having been redesigned by celebrated architect Vincent Van Duysen several years ago. She purchased another condo in the same area off-plan in 2016, which was listed at $2.7 million in 2023 but didn't sell, so neither were snapped up.
Kim Kardashian’s Neighboring Hidden Hills Ranch
Kim and Kanye invested in a second neighboring property in October 2019 for $3 million. Earlier in the same year, they had also purchased a second adjoining house in an off-market deal for $2.7 million, securing seven-and-a-half acres of land surrounding their primary Hidden Hills mansion.
Inside, the home offers vaulted, wooden ceilings in the expansive main living room, along with four bedrooms, four bathrooms and a four-car garage. Encompassing 3,874 square feet in total, the ranch was a sizeable real estate investment for the former couple, and all for the sake of protecting their privacy.
No Kardashian property would be complete without a pool and an expertly landscaped backyard. Featuring a covered patio and built-in barbecue terrace for hungry celebrity guests, it's not known if the pair ever resided at the property. In the wake of their divorce, Kim took ownership of the house. In September 2022, she placed it on the market for $5.3 million with Tomer Fridman of The Fridman Group, earning herself a significant return on her initial investment.
Across the road, you'll find the home's state-of-the-art equestrian facilities, which include a four-stall horse barn, a tack room, a feed room and a corral area. Kim's eldest daughter, North West, is especially fond of horse riding and even had a Western-style seventh birthday party back in 2020.
Kim Kardashian and Kanye Split
News of Kim and Kanye's split came in 2021 after months of rumours and seven years of marriage. We now know that Kanye claimed the ranches in the divorce settlement, while Kim bought her husband out of the Hidden Hills estate for $23 million. The pair finally agreed on a settlement over custody and child maintenance in November 2022, sharing joint custody of their children. Ye pays Kardashian $200,000 a month in child support, and they split the cost of their children's security, schooling and university fees. Neither pays the other spousal support.
Kim's Hidden Hills 'Buffer' Home
Kim bought another Hidden Hills property in 2022 as a 'buffer' home when her ex-husband purchased a house nearby to be near his children. Clearly a tear-down purchase, she never got around to rebuilding the 4,200 square-foot pad. However, according to Hello Magazine, Kim put the fixer-upper back on the market later that year, less than six months after buying it. Priced at $7 million, she was hoping to make a profitable $700k on what she paid for the estate.
Kim's Malibu Beach House
Perhaps the reason Kim decided to sell up her Hidden Hills buffer home so quickly was to snap up this beautiful seaside estate. Built in 1944, the Malibu beach house previously belonged to supermodel Cindy Crawford. Crawford reportedly purchased the property for over $50 million from biotech engineer Walter de Logi’s wife after he died in 2014.
Undergoing extensive renovations in the 1990s and more recently in 2016, Kim’s new four-bedroom Mediterranean-style villa was once a six-acre estate before being split into two lots. Cindy Crawford sold the smaller of the two parcels to a retired hedge fund manager, Adam Weiss. After listing it in March 2022 at a little under $100 million, Weiss sold up to the Skims founder in September 2022 in an off-market deal for a much lower $70.4 million. The savvy entrepreneur strikes again!
Alongside a light and spacious gym, the 7,500-square-foot house hosts numerous roomy living areas illuminated via walls of glass throughout offering glittering views across Malibu beaches. Cindy Crawford still lives in her next-door parcel, where Kim will also be neighbors with Leonardo DiCaprio and Neil Diamond, no less. The Malibu estate is reportedly the fourth priciest California home sale of 2022, lagging slightly behind Bel Air’s jaw-dropping The One mega-mansion, which sold at auction for a whopping $126 million.
Outside, Kim and her brood can enjoy a full-size tennis court framed by mature trees, a wraparound deck for alfresco dining and a pool area with a cabana and fireplace. Moreover, a winding pathway leads down to a secluded beach, the perfect spot for one of the world’s most famous women to relax by the sea.
The house, which miraculously escaped the devastating LA fires in January 2025, was given its debut on Season Six of The Kardashians. Kim is joined by the rest of her family and can be seen lounging by her massive pool and watching the dolphins. Kim has said it has been her lifelong goal to own a home in Malibu, and she plans to undertake an extensive renovation project to create her dream home.
Kim's Tadao Ando Mansion in Palm Springs
Kim's pending home build project is also her most adventurous. She has commissioned Japanese architect Tadao Ando to design a vacation home on a piece of land in Palm Springs. She originally bought the undeveloped site in California's Madison Club in La Quinta for $6.3 million in 2019 with then-husband Kanye. The land was awarded to Kim in her divorce settlement, but teams were still waiting to break ground in February 2025, delayed by various building permits not being granted.
Sharing Ando's vision in several Instagram posts, Kim reveals a 'spaceship'-style building with a central circular courtyard right in the center of the futuristic home. The imposing structure, which will be built in Ando’s signature streamlined concrete, will reportedly feature multiple bedrooms and bathrooms and an outdoor elevator.
The star visited the Pritzker prize-winning architect in Japan in April 2023 and has said that she is “so deeply honoured... to have the opportunity to work with him and finally see this special project come to life." It was her ex-husband, Kanye West, who introduced Kim to the work of Ando when they visited Japan in 2018, and the proposed house has been dubbed the 'revenge mansion.'
Sharing a picture of Ando working on drawings for her new home, Kim wrote: “I visited his office in Japan so that we could make the finishing touches before we break ground.” Clearly excited by the project, the home is bound to boast spectacular views as the land it sits on grants views of the three surrounding mountain ranges: San Jacinto, Santa Rosa and the San Bernardino mountains.
What's Next for Kim Kardashian?
Let’s just hope the building work is back on course soon. The mum of four is said to still spend much of her time in her main expansive Hidden Hills estate with the kids and 'momager' Kris Jenner close by. With her divorce from Ye long finalized and their assets divided, Kim is free to pursue her passion for buying and selling property. And building, too, it would appear. We can't wait to see what she does next…
