Kanye West has listed his Malibu, California home for a reported $53 million through the brokerage of Selling Sunset star Jason Oppenheim.
The decision to sell follows allegations from a former employee citing unsafe working conditions. Ye paid $57 million when he purchased the stunning 4,000 sq. ft. pad back in 2021.
Oppenheim said it’s a “unique home for a unique and discerning buyer,” explaining that its structure is one of its most coveted features, also featuring ocean views in every room. The Netflix star also said the “Can’t Tell Me Nothing” rapper removed the home’s interiors amid his renovations, therefore the asking price reflects the cost of installing new finishes.
One of the main reasons for the selling is the former manager of the remodeling project, Tony Saxon, said he signed on in 2021 to serve as full-time security and act as a live-in caretaker for Ye’s home in Malibu, claiming things took a turn after he was employed.
Saxon filed a lawsuit against Ye accusing him of discrimination, violations of the labor code, and retaliation back in September 2023. Saxton also complained about the working conditions and voiced concerns over various safety hazards, including workers unsafely demolishing various parts of the house.
Saxon stated that Ye took no action. Kanye requested for the lawsuit to be thrown out, and there is no confirmed buyer of the house.

Kanye West is currently facing a lawsuit from his former project manager. The lawsuit alleges that West fired him after he refused to carry out dangerous renovations on West’s Malibu home. West allegedly wanted to turn the house into a bomb shelter and ignored his former project manager’s concerns about safety.
On September 13, a lawsuit was filed in Los Angeles Superior County Court by Kanye West’s former project manager, Tony Saxon. According to Saxon, West insisted on removing all windows and electricity from Ye’s Malibu home, which was already undergoing renovations.
When Saxon refused, West allegedly threatened to consider him an enemy if he did not comply. Saxon also says West threatened to end their friendship and told him he would “see him on TV.” Ultimately, West fired Saxon on November 5, 2021, for not agreeing to his “dangerous” requests.
Saxon also adds that West’s vision for the property involved turning it into a bomb shelter reminiscent of the 1910s. This would have required demolishing custom marble bathrooms, removing custom windows, plumbing, and electricity, and replacing the stairs with slides.
Saxon worked with West for two months and was promised $20,000 per week, but claims he was only paid twice. One payment covered Saxon’s weekly salary, while the other was meant for the project’s budget.
During his time working with West, Saxon also had to live at the property. He describes the conditions as “miserable” and says that West was unresponsive to his complaints.
Saxon alleges that he was fired three days after complaining about a severe back injury at a team meeting where West had ordered him to remove electricity and windows. Despite the pain he endured, Saxon expresses a desire to reconcile with West, but states that he cannot continue working under such conditions.
He claims that his neck and back have been severely affected:
“Hopefully we can bury the hatchet, but I physically cannot do any more work like that anymore,” Saxon said. “My neck and my back have been destroyed.”
West and his legal team have not publicly responded to Saxon’s allegations at this time.

Kanye West finds himself in the midst of financial woes speculation as he reportedly pauses renovations on his $57 million Malibu beachfront mansion. The unfinished property is now at risk of permanent damage, leaving questions about Kanye’s financial situation. This setback comes after a series of events, including the termination of contracts, the closure of his construction company, and the loss of billionaire status. With uncertainty surrounding the completion of his mansion, Kanye faces mounting challenges in his personal and business endeavors.
Kanye West’s ambitious renovation plans for his Malibu mansion have reached a standstill, raising concerns about his financial stability. Acquiring the property in September 2021, Kanye has encountered setbacks, leaving the house incomplete and vulnerable.
In November 2022, Kanye made headlines when he canceled contracts with contractors and shut down his construction company, Yeezy Construction Inc. These actions remain undisclosed, adding to the uncertainty surrounding the mansion’s completion. With no updates on when or if the renovations will resume, the property’s condition continues to deteriorate.
The Yeezy mogul’s financial troubles escalated after he faced repercussions for his controversial comments. In October 2022, Adidas severed ties with the rapper following his antisemitic remarks, leading to other companies distancing themselves from him, including Balenciaga and Gap.
These severed partnerships and other factors contributed to Kanye losing his billionaire status, further exacerbating his financial challenges. The loss of his billionaire status even led fans to start a GoFundMe campaign to help him regain his financial standing.
In addition, the recent news regarding Gap demanding Ye to cover legal expenses adds to his mounting woes. The path to financial stability remains uncertain as the rapper navigates these legal battles and financial setbacks.
Apart from the financial challenges, The Chicago native also faced legal issues, including being slammed with yet, another lawsuit after a battery investigation related to an incident involving a photographer’s phone.
However, Kanye had a recent glimmer of hope when a judge overturned Adidas’ court order to continue to freeze $75 million from Ye’s Yeezy account, providing him access to his funds.
Speaking of financial woes, YouTuber Tasha K, who recently lost a $4 million legal battle involving Cardi B, has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The gossip blogger’s dire financial situation is evident, with reports suggesting she had a mere $95 in her bank account.
