Introduction
Rihanna has never done anything quietly — and her real estate portfolio is no exception.
The Barbados-born billionaire — with a Forbes-confirmed net worth of $1.4 billion built almost entirely on Fenty Beauty and Savage X Fenty rather than music — has spent the last 17 years buying, selling, renting, and occasionally walking away from some of the most talked-about properties in Los Angeles, Barbados, and London.
In March 2026, her Beverly Hills compound made headlines when gunshots were fired at the gate while she was believed to be inside with A$AP Rocky and their three children. It was a reminder that behind every luxury property in her portfolio is a woman who has spent her entire adult life navigating fame, security, and the privacy search.
This is the complete, verified guide to every Rihanna house — from her first Beverly Hills mansion in 2009 to the $22 million Barbados villa she has never sold.
Rihanna’s Current Home — Beverly Hills Compound
Rihanna’s current home is not one property — it is two side-by-side mansions on a quiet, gated cul-de-sac in Beverly Hills, on the same street as Sir Paul McCartney.
In March 2021, she paid $13.8 million for a five-bedroom modern farmhouse with 7,628 sq ft of living space on a 21,958 sq ft lot. House Digest confirmed the home features five bedrooms, seven bathrooms, a cocktail bar, a chef’s kitchen with two marble islands and retro gold chandeliers, a media room, a gym, and a separate guesthouse. The living room has a wall that completely opens up to the infinity pool outside.
Three months later, she bought the Tudor-style property immediately next door for $10 million — a 1930s estate that was never listed on the open market. Inside: exposed wooden beams, an arched wood ceiling, stone floors, a chef’s kitchen, a detached guest apartment above the garage, a half basketball court, a fire pit, and a vegetable garden.
Together, the two properties give her just over one acre of land, more than 11,000 sq ft of combined living space, and parking for at least 10 vehicles — a $23.8 million compound that she shares with A$AP Rocky and their three children.
On March 8, 2026, the compound made national news when five to seven gunshots were fired at the gate while Rihanna was believed to be inside. The LAPD responded, and a woman in her 30s was taken into custody. No injuries were reported. The incident was a stark reminder of the security challenges that come with fame at Rihanna’s level.
Key Features:
- Main mansion: 5 bed, 7 bath, 7,628 sq ft — modern farmhouse, black metal roof
- Chef’s kitchen with 2 marble islands + retro gold chandeliers
- Tudor estate next door: 4 bed, 4.5 bath, 5,100 sq ft — never listed on open market
- Combined: 1+ acre, 11,000+ sq ft, basketball court, vegetable garden, fire pit
- Same cul-de-sac as Sir Paul McCartney
- March 2026: Security incident — shots fired at the gate
Rihanna’s House in Barbados — One Sandy Lane
When Rihanna left Barbados at 16 to sign with Jay-Z’s Def Jam Records, she promised herself she would never lose touch with home. In 2013, at 25 years old, she made good on that promise.
She spent $22 million on a beachfront villa within the One Sandy Lane complex in St. James Parish — one of Barbados’s most exclusive coastal addresses, conveniently located just along the beach from the five-star Sandy Lane resort. The 10,000 sq ft property sits within a private community of eight adjacent beachfront villas, with its own pool, jacuzzi, and terrace that opens directly onto the Caribbean Sea.
Of all the properties in Rihanna’s portfolio — bought, sold, rented, and flipped — the Barbados villa is the only one she has never sold, never rented out, and never discussed in any security incident report. It is simply home.
Former Properties — Bought and Sold
1. First Beverly Hills Mansion — Bought $6.9M, Sold $5.03M (2009–2011)
Rihanna’s first Los Angeles home was a three-story, 8,520 sq ft contemporary mansion she purchased in 2009 for $6.9 million — her very first real estate investment at just 21 years old. The estate had eight bedrooms, ten bathrooms, and a picturesque terrace with a swimming pool.
Unfortunately, moisture and water damage led her to sell it in 2011 for just $5.03 million, taking a significant loss. The house went on to become one of the most celebrity properties in LA: John Legend and Chrissy Teigen later bought it for $14.1 million, renovated it with Thai-inspired interiors, and eventually sold it. The property changed hands again in 2023 for $15 million.
2. Hollywood Hills Mediterranean Villa — Bought $6.8M, Sold $6.55M (2017–2022)
In 2017 — the same year she launched Fenty Beauty and changed the beauty industry — Rihanna bought a $6.8 million Mediterranean-style villa in the Hollywood Hills. The 7,130 sq ft property included six bedrooms, ten bathrooms, a guest house converted into a private gym, an infinity pool, and multiple outdoor lounge areas.
But the Hollywood Hills villa was troubled from the start. Trespasser incidents made the property feel unsafe. Rihanna eventually listed it and sold it in 2022 for $6.55 million — another slight loss after five years of ownership.
3. Century City Penthouse (Matthew Perry’s former home) — Bought $21M, Listed $24.95M (2023–2024)
In March 2023, Rihanna paid $21 million for the former penthouse of the late Friends actor Matthew Perry — spanning the entire 40th floor of The Century skyscraper in Century City. Robb Report confirmed she negotiated the price down from $28 million, buying it from short-term owner Nick Molnar, co-founder of Afterpay.
The 9,300 sq ft penthouse features four outdoor terraces with 360-degree views from Downtown LA to the Pacific Ocean, a grand screening room, billiards room, and all-white kitchen with marble countertops and dual islands. Other residents in the building include Denzel Washington and Candy Spelling.
Rihanna reportedly never moved in. Within a year, she listed it for $24.95 million.
4. Century Tower First Penthouse — $5.5 Million (Owned)
Before the Matthew Perry penthouse, Rihanna had already purchased a smaller penthouse in the same Century Tower building for $5.5 million. This condo offered 24-hour valet, access to a 75-foot pool, and the building’s intense anti-paparazzi security system — the same features that drew her back to the building for the $21 million purchase in 2023.
5. Wilshire Corridor Condo — $925,000 (2015)
In 2015, Rihanna also purchased a 2,000 sq ft condo on the Wilshire Corridor for $925,000 — one of her smaller investments, likely used as a personal retreat or for close staff. The Wilshire Corridor is known as ‘Condo Canyon’ among LA real estate circles for its concentration of luxury high-rise buildings along Wilshire Boulevard.

Pacific Palisades Bluff-Top Mansion — $65,000/month (2012)
After selling her first Beverly Hills home at a loss, Rihanna rented a bluff-top mansion in Pacific Palisades for $65,000 a month. The 10,970 sq ft property had 14-foot ceilings, a 6,000 sq ft garden, a rooftop sun deck, seven bedrooms, and nine bathrooms. Stalker incidents forced her to relocate. The property was later sold for $11.175 million in 2016.
‘The Fortress’ — Sunset Strip — $60,000/month (2014–2017)
Seeking maximum security after the Pacific Palisades incidents, Rihanna rented the property known in LA as ‘The Fortress’ on the Sunset Strip for $60,000 per month from 2014 to 2017. Designed by David Lawrence Gray Architects, the 10,000 sq ft home featured 40-foot ceilings, steel beams, walls of glass, a Porsche Design gourmet kitchen, a two-bedroom guesthouse, and a uniquely shaped swimming pool. It was, by all accounts, the most secure rental available to a celebrity in Los Angeles at the time.
London, St. John’s Wood — ~$25,000/week (2018–2020)
In 2018, Rihanna quietly moved to London for almost three years — spending approximately $25,000 per week on a historic 19th-century mansion in the exclusive St. John’s Wood district. The 6,332 sq ft Victorian-era property featured eight bedrooms, a home gym, a cinema, a music room with a Swarovski crystal-lined bar, mirror-lined ceilings, and black parquet floors. The property hit the market in September 2020, asking $40.94 million.
The Hamptons — $415,000/month (Summer 2020)
During the summer of 2020, Rihanna reportedly rented a 6,140 sq ft Hamptons home for $415,000 for the season — one of the most expensive short-term celebrity rentals that year, reflecting both her wealth and her desire for a private retreat during the pandemic.

FAQs
Q1: Where does Rihanna live in 2026?
Rihanna’s primary residence in 2026 is her Beverly Hills compound — two side-by-side mansions she purchased in 2021 for a combined $23.8 million. Located in a gated cul-de-sac on the same street as Sir Paul McCartney, she lives there with A$AP Rocky and their three children.
Q2: How many houses does Rihanna own?
As of 2026, Rihanna owns five confirmed properties — her two-mansion Beverly Hills compound ($13.8M + $10M), a $22 million beachfront villa in Barbados, a penthouse in The Century building in Century City ($5.5M), and a Wilshire Corridor condo ($925,000). She also has a second Century City penthouse — Matthew Perry’s former home — listed for sale at $24.95 million.
Q3: What happened at Rihanna’s house in March 2026?
On March 8, 2026, five to seven gunshots were fired at the gate of Rihanna’s Beverly Hills compound. The LAPD confirmed the shooting, and a woman in her 30s was taken into custody. Rihanna was believed to be inside the home with A$AP Rocky and their three children at the time. No injuries were reported.
Q4: How much did Rihanna’s Beverly Hills home cost?
Rihanna’s Beverly Hills compound consists of two properties purchased in 2021 for a combined $23.8 million — the main modern farmhouse for $13.8 million in March, and the adjacent Tudor estate for $10 million a few months later. The Tudor was never listed on the open market.
Q5: Does Rihanna own a house in Barbados?
Yes. In 2013, Rihanna paid $22 million for a 10,000 sq ft beachfront villa within the exclusive One Sandy Lane complex in St. James Parish, Barbados. The property has its own pool, jacuzzi, and terrace opening directly onto the Caribbean Sea. It is the only property in her portfolio she has never sold or rented out.
Q6: Did Rihanna buy Matthew Perry’s house?
Yes. In March 2023, Rihanna paid $21 million for Matthew Perry’s former penthouse on the 40th floor of The Century skyscraper in Century City, Los Angeles. The 9,300 sq ft residence features four outdoor terraces with panoramic city views. Rihanna reportedly never moved in and listed the property for $24.95 million in early 2024.
Conclusion
Rihanna’s real estate story is not a straight line from poor to rich. It is a series of chapters — some triumphant, some messy, some marked by security threats that reminded her and everyone else of the price that comes with global fame.
She sold her first Beverly Hills home at a loss because of water damage. She bought and sold a Hollywood Hills villa after trespassers made it feel unsafe. She purchased Matthew Perry’s former penthouse for $21 million and never even moved in. She spent three years quietly living in a Victorian mansion in London while the world wondered where she had gone. And she built a $23.8 million Beverly Hills compound that became the target of gunfire in March 2026.
But through all of it, the one constant is Barbados. The $22 million villa she bought in 2013 at 25 years old — near the beach where she grew up — has never been listed for sale, never been rented, and never made the news for any security incident. For someone with a $1.4 billion net worth and properties across two continents, that might be the most revealing real estate fact of all.
