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!
