Wiz Khalifa, the rapper famous for his song “Black and Yellow,” recently bought a new house in Encino for $3.4 million. He had been renting a house in Los Angeles for $16,000 a month for three years.
Khalifa still owns the old house and another one in Pittsburgh, but he changed his home to a fancier one just three miles away, which cost him over $7.6 million.
It remains to be seen if he has already made the new place his own by adding his favorite features, like a personal weed bar, recording studio, and game room for his Steelers-themed favorite team.
With his successful music career, his Khalifa Kush marijuana strain, and his mobile game Weed Farm, which lets players grow fake crops, Khalifa has a net worth of about $60 million.
The modern farmhouse-style home, which was finished this year, has 8,000 square feet of open-concept living space with six bedrooms and seven bathrooms. The house has a modern and stylish feel to it thanks to its wood-beam ceilings, blonde hardwood floors, and designer light fixtures. There is also a home office, a gym, a movie theater, and a guesthouse that is separate from the main house.
Architectural Digest says that the two-story stucco and wood building is at the end of a long gated driveway and has a large motorcourt and an attached three-car garage that are perfect for Khalifa’s collection of mostly classic cars, such as a 1969 El Camino, Chevelle, muscle cars, and a Mercedes Benz.
As you walk into the double-height lobby, you’ll see a glass front door under a porte-cochère. It’s easy to get to the formal dining room with a wet bar and the living room with a linear fireplace and sliding glass doors that lead to the garden from that area. The family room opens up to a modern gourmet kitchen with a breakfast nook, a service bar with seating on both sides, and Thermador appliances. The kitchen also has a center island.
The master bedroom on the second floor is a peaceful haven with a sitting area by the fireplace, a minibar, and two closets that look like they belong in a showroom. The bathroom is designed to look like a spa and has two vanities, an oval soaking tub, a large glass-enclosed shower, and a private porch.
Around the nearly half-acre property is a green lawn with a Baja-shelf pool and spa. There is also a covered lounge patio with a fire pit, an outdoor kitchen with a built-in BBQ and bar, a trellised eating area, and even a basketball court. There is also a 450-square-foot cottage with a bathroom and kitchenette.
Wiz Khalifa has found a luxury haven in his new home where he can enjoy the fruits of his success and make an atmosphere that fits his style and interests.
