The Weeknd buys $19M penthouse to celebrate conquering 2 Guinness records

The Weeknd, an R&B singer, has spent more than 18 months on the market before selling his Los Angeles penthouse for $19 mιllιon.

The property, which occupies the whole 18th floor of the 22-story Beverly West in Westwood, was listed by the 33-year-old Canadian singer-songwriter in January 2022 for $22 mιllιon. According to selling agent Angel Salvador of the Beverly Hills Estates, the property and furniture were each worth $1 mιllιon in the sale last week’s total consideration. That implies that the Weeknd lost at least $2 mιllιon upon selling it.

The four-time Grammy Award winner is renowned for his dark R&B sound and songs like “Diе For You” and “Wicked Games.” Last week, he completed the European portion of his tour; he will now begin a number of performances in Latin America in late September.

The buyers, according to the Robb Report, were Drs. David and Andrea Feinberg, who are currently the chairman of Oracle Health and respectively the former president and CEO of the UCLA Health System. Mansion Global was unable to independently verify the buyers’ identities.

According to the description, the 7,950-square-foot home has a great room that runs the length of it, balconies on each side, and a wet bar. It also has 360-degree views of the city and the Pacific Ocean.

According to listing images, the penthouse has four bedrooms, including a master suite with two vanities, a steam shower, and a soaking tub with views of the country club. The main bedroom has an adjoining room that is now being utilized as a gym.

According to the listing, additional features include a “state-of-the-art chef’s kitchen” and a “entertainment bar with a stunning TV wall” constructed from four 65-inch screens. Salvador, according to an email from Abel, “has represented Abel on all of his real estate transactions in Los Angeles, both on the buying and selling side.”

That includes the 33,000 square foot Bel Air house he paid $70 mιllιon for in August 2021, which The Wall Street Journal claimed was one of the biggest sales in the city that year. According to the New York Post, he also sold Madonna his 12,500 square foot Hidden Hills house in April 2021 for $19.3 mιllιon.
