The Weeknd Pays $70 Million for Extravagant Bel Air Mansion

As you know, Abel has called a $25M Beverly Hills penthouse home for a few years now — it’s unclear what he’ll do with that property — but he’s certainly got lots of rooms, and space, to figure out his next real estate move. Though it was never officially on the market, a lavish Los Angeles estate has sold for a whopping $70 million — one of the priciest California home sales of 2021 — to Abel Tesfaye, the Canadian music superstar better known as The Weeknd. As was first reported by The Wall Street Journal, the “Blinding Lights” crooner now holds the deed to a roughly 33,000-square-foot megamansion in prime lower Bel Air — a substantial upsize from his previous home in Hidden Hills, which was sold to Madonna in April for $19.3 million.
