Kanye West has reportedly put his Malibu mansion up for sale for $53 million.
Ye only bought the property a couple of years ago and completely gutted the place, with the intention of remodeling it with famous architect Tadao Ando.

He originally paid $57 million for the home in 2021, meaning he’s prepared to sell it at a loss.
According to TMZ, Selling Sunset star Jason Oppenheim is in charge of the listing and spoke highly about the property.

“The interior finishes have been removed, and this creates an unbelievably rare opportunity to buy a Picasso on the water with the ability to restore it to your own specific standards, with modern technology and excellence,” he said.
The mansion is a massive 4,000 square feet but currently has no windows or electricity.
Kanye West was sued by the former project manager of the home in September following a disagreement over his unusual demands.
NBC News reported that 32-year-old Tony Saxon filed the lawsuit after he was fired for refusing to remove all of the windows and electricity from the property.

Ye allegedly fired Saxon on November 5, 2021 for not complying with his “dangerous” requests after working for him for around two months.
Saxon was apparently ordered by the rapper to “get the hell out” when he refused to move large generators into the home.

The suit read: “When Plaintiff refused to engage in unlawful conduct or to engage in activity that would further cause him physical injury, Mr. Ye responded: ‘If you don’t do what I say, you’re not going to work for me, I’m not gonna be your friend anymore and you’ll just see me on TV.’”
The complaint said West also told him he would be “considered an enemy if he did not comply.”
Saxon further alleged that Kanye had promised to pay him $20,000 a week, but he only received payments on two occasions to cover his salary and the project’s budget.
The lawsuit cited violations of labor codes, including dangerous working conditions, unpaid wages and wrongful retaliatory termination.

Saxon said Kanye’s plan for the property was to make it like “a bomb shelter from the 1910s” by removing the custom marble bathrooms, custom windows, plumbing and electricity, as well as replacing the stairs with slides.
He claimed that West didn’t want to be a “slave” to modern conveniences or be “accessible” to the government.
