With Drake reclining anew in his now-former estate to the tune of $75 million, pop superstar Robbie Williams has shared the wealth a bit and closed on a new Los Angeles property as well. This spring, the singer shelled out $49.5 million on a 2005-built, Oscar Shamamian-designed mansion in Holmby Hills.
Shamamian, for the record, is the architect who designed Jim Belushi’s custom home Villa Burlingame, which spent five years for sale before it was finally sold to a new owner with $30 million this past December. Williams’ new estate is as grand in spirit, a Georgian manor with a winged design scantily clad in boisterous ivy.
With the two guest houses on the property, there are eight bedrooms and eleven baths across 18,925 sq. ft. of interior living area. Highlights of the main house include a dining room with panoramic wall covering, a wood-paneled office and separate library, and kitchen in the French country style. The grounds span 1.95 acres, with a tennis court, pool and pool house, koi pond with water jets, an organic garden, lawns, and various plantings.
As for Drake, he has some real estate of his own in the outbox, now that he’s ensconced in his new 25,000 sq. ft. estate in Beverly Hills Post Office. His main compound in Hidden Hills, grotto and all, awaits a buyer with $14.8 million. Adjacent property A and adjacent property B were recently scooped up by Rams QB Matthew Stafford for $11 million.
Though relatively unknown in the U.S., Williams racks up No. 1 albums effortlessly elsewhere in the world.
