Rapper Birdman Puts $20M Miami Beach Mansion on the Market

Published: June 3, 2017 | By: American Luxury Staff

Rapper and music-industry exec Bryan ‘Birdman’ Williams has listed his none-too-modest Palm Island estate for sale. The co-founder of Cash Money Records is asking $20 million for the residence, a palatial and fascinatingly self-conscious Mediterranean-inspired behemoth he picked up in 2011 from energy drink mogul Russell Weiner for $14.5 million; Weiner had purchased it as a foreclosure for $7 million when producer Scott Storch lost it in 2010, and he flipped it with astounding success.

The place is designed to impress, and it manages that. Entirely overblown, the façade is concerned with symmetry, and the interior with scale. 20,000 square feet of scale, with seven bedrooms and twelve baths throughout. Birdman renovated it extensively, reportedly sinking seven figures into the revision. He had three bedrooms combined during the renovation, producing a master suite measuring 3,500 square feet, as large as a good-sized house.

The house’s design reveals an earnest wish to leave nothing out. The interior design incorporates ornate ceiling designs, modern lines, period-style light fixtures, and a spiral staircase, among other elements. Tones before the renovations had been muted and bland—beige, dark-toned and mid-toned wood. Walls had been generally white.

The house contains a home cinema with tiered seating, billiards room with full-sized wet bar, fireplaces, a pair of wine cellars, and a sprawling double-height gallery. The property exterior’s patio and entertainment area includes pool with water jets and volleyball court.

Cash Money Records is a family business; Birdman co-founded it with his brother, Slim.  Birdman’s next studio album, titled ‘Ms. Gladys,’ is currently in the works.
