Best Smart Home Trends Complete guide for upgrading to a Smart Home
It is nice to explore the world of ultra-rich once in a while. It can just give you enough inspiration to get that billion-dollar idea off the ground. Or, have one more item that you may or may not want to add to your manifestation board. Rihanna, the artist, is hardly as glamorous as Rihanna, the popstar. She has so many hits to her name.
But still her style and overall attitude towards life is what stands out the most. There is no doubt that she has the voice of a siren. But it is her my-way-or-the-highway approach that gives her a larger-than-life stature. You need a kind size place for all that personality and allure. That is exactly what her latest purchase is. The $13.8M Beverly Hills Mansion is the flavour of the season for this Barbadian bombshell.
Let us take a look at the interesting features of this luxurious place.
Soothing and Classic Interiors
The house comes with 7 bedrooms, a gourmet chef’s kitchen along with formal living and family areas. It holds its own when it comes to elegance and luxury. However, it is designed in a way to give a simplistic and relaxed feel to it. Gold and marble seem to be the theme running around the home. The French oak wood flooring follows you wherever you go in the area.
Its master suite comes with an entire set of perks. There is the calming view of the mountains as you open your windows to start the day. You can sit on the windowsill for hours and take in the serenity of the scenery in front of you. There are spa-quality bath fixtures in the attached bathroom that amazes you with its minimal yet stunning look.
Place to Unwind
The copper sink and taps add a metallic accent to the otherwise demure place. There is a private outdoor sitting area too just next to it so that you can follow that much-needed bath with an equally refreshing hour in the sun. This side of the house is perfect when you want a little peace and quiet to yourself before joining everyone on the dining table and let the morning frenzy begin.

This mansion is spread over 7,628-square-foot in area. It has a balanced mix of both indoors and outdoors that gives you enough room to enjoy the lush green cover outside and the crisp interiors. Among the various celebrity that live in this neighborhood include the legendary Paul McCartney. Madonna and Mariah Carey have also been rumoured to have rented or leased a place in this side of the town.
Unfolding an Urban Dream
The home is situated over a sprawling spread stretching to a total of 21,958-square-foot. The house itself covers just over 7 thousand square feet of it. This gives ample room for future expansions and renovations. Also, just in case when RiRi decides to sell it, the future home owners have ample space to completely revision the place.
It comes with 7 bathrooms, wet bar and plenty of entertainment space. The home is designed in a way to be a sanctuary away from the mania of the celebrity world. But, it also has enough to keep you buzzed with joy. The wet bar itself makes for a perfect hangout place where you and your dear ones can sip on margaritas, cocktails or full-on shots, depending upon the occasion.
Leisurely Spots
The comfortable and yet stylish sitting area in the bar has an inviting vibe to it. But the deeper tones of greys, blues and black prevents it from being shrill. It is well-lit enough in a subdued manner to let the festive vibes flow without harshing your spirit.
Built in 1938, the property has changed some hands till now. Mary Sheldon initially owned this house. It was sold to Daniel Starr and today it belongs to Rihanna. She has already bought the neighboring home worth 10 million dollars for perhaps privacy reasons.
