Tour Kim Kardashian's amazing homes worth more than £96m
In the public eye for more than 15 years, reality star turned entrepreneur, Kim Kardashian is worth an estimated $1.7 billion (£1.3b).
Having developed several multimillion-dollar businesses, with a growing family to boot, the SKIMS owner has an impressive property portfolio to match.
Let's take a closer look at the homes she's picked up on her way to the top....
The social media influencer, entrepreneur and aspiring attorney has lived in a variety of homes around the Los Angeles area, including Bel Air and Beverly Hills.
She currently splits her time with her four children between her Hidden Hills mansion, which she now owns entirely since she bought out ex-husband Kanye West, and a beautiful beach house in Malibu.
But where did the most famous Kardashian grow up?
Pictured here with her lawyer father, Robert Kardashian, and sister Kourtney, Kim grew up in the idyllic surroundings of Los Angeles. Her parents, Kris and Rob, raised children, Kim, Kourtney, Khloe and Rob until their divorce in 1991.
Before the split, the Kardashian family lived together in this Beverley Hills 90210 mansion, a short hop from Rodeo Drive.
According to property site Style of Home, after tying the knot in 1978, newly married Kris and Rob splashed out the tiny sum of $383,000 (£283k) on the home a year later, eventually selling it in 1994 for a huge $1.5 million (£1.1m). Adjusted for inflation, that's $3.2 million (£2.4m).
The sprawling open-plan property in Beverley Hills stretches over 3,922 feet (364sqm) and was built in 1951. With four bedrooms and four bathrooms, the home had plenty of space for the young Kardashian clan.
The décor has been updated since those days and it was for rent with Apartments.com in May 2025 for $17,500 (£13.5k) per month.
In 1998, seven years after her mum Kris married Caitlyn Jenner, then known as Bruce, Kim graduated from Marymount High School in Bel Air, California, which she attended with future socialite friend, Paris Hilton.
But it would be a few years before her career started to take off.
At just 20 years old, the soon-to-be reality star secretly wed music producer Damon Thomas. But when Kim's dad passed away in 2003, her marriage broke down a year later.
Around this time, she also became close with former high school friend Paris Hilton and began working as the celebutante's assistant, where she got her first taste of the limelight. In a 2019 episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Kim acknowledged that Hilton "literally gave me a career".
But it wasn't until 2007 when the reality show, Keeping Up With The Kardashians first aired on E! Entertainment that Kim gained her first taste of fame.
The show followed the daily exploits of the Kardashian-Jenner family, including stepfather Caitlyn Jenner and younger half-sisters Kendall Jenner and Kylie Jenner.
A year previously, in 2006, Kim, Kourtney and Khloé opened their first DASH store in Calabasas. They closed them in 2018 due to other work commitments.
Just before she was first thrust into the limelight on KUWTK, Kim moved out into her first home in 2005.
Taking up 1,720 square feet (160sqm), the condo boasts three bedrooms and is located in the Beverly Grove area of Los Angeles.
She sold up in 2010 for $885,000 (£686k), and it was sold more than 10 years later in 2021 for $1.3 million (£967k), so it hasn't increased phenomenally during that time. Just as well she moved on!
After slowly climbing up the celebrity ranks, Kim released a perfume in 2009 and a year later bought her first mansion.
This Tuscan-style gated resort villa was home to the star from 2010, when she bought it for $3.4 million (£2.5m). That would be $5 million (£3.6m) in 2025.
The five-bedroom, five-bathroom abode sweeps across nearly 4,000 square feet (373sqm) and boasts a private pool, perfect for filming KUWTK scenes.
Rich, hardwood flooring flows throughout a large chef's kitchen complete with a centre island that's lit by a plethora of hanging lights and panelled windows.
The kitchen area opens out to the family room and a lower-level outdoor living space for large get-togethers and Kardashian family dos.
Ornate floor and wall tiling adorn the upstairs bathroom, which is illuminated via recessed spot-lighting, while wall sconces and two large windows provide leafy views over the garden and beyond.
During her three-year stint at the home, the businesswoman married former NBA basketball player Kris Humphries in August 2011. Despite featuring in a special titled Kim's Fairytale Wedding: A Kardashian Event, Kim filed for divorce just 72 days into the marriage.
The pair lived in the house together until their divorce was finalised in 2013, when Kim promptly sold the house for $3.6 million (£2.6m). If she sold it today that's $4.9 million (£3.6m).
Shortly after her split from Kris Humphries, Kim started dating long-time friend Kanye West.
After dating for two years, the pair married in May 2014. Unsurprisingly, their wedding was a high-profile celebrity-filled affair, held at Fort di Belvedere in Florence, Italy, following a seven-month engagement.
Before the birth of their first child, North West, in 2013, the couple bought this villa in Bel Air for $11 million (£8.1m). It's seen here in a video by X17 Online.
They were there for fewer than two years when they sold up, but still managed to make a pretty profit, selling the six-bedroom, eight-bathroom pad for $17.8 million (£13.4m) in 2014. Today, that's $23.8 million (£17.6m).
At the time, it was the most expensive home ever sold in the gated community of Bel Air Crest.
In 2014, Kim and Kanye purchased this expansive estate in Hidden Hills for $20 million (£14.8m), set across three acres (1.2ha) of land, boasting beautiful vineyards, mature trees and rolling lawns, as seen in a house tour video with Vogue.
According to People Magazine, Kris Jenner Tweeted that the home was valued at around $60 million (£44.3m) after the couple completely reimagined it. When adjusted for inflation, that's $76.7 million (£56.6m) today.
Inside the palatial home, huge arching hallways and streams of white space make for a somewhat spiritual building. Speaking to Architectural Digest in February 2020, Kanye described the Hidden Hills mansion as a 'futuristic Belgian monastery'.
Designed by the couple alongside Belgian architect Axel Vervoodt, they spent $20 million (£14.8m) on the extensive renovations.
During the renovations, the couple and their children stayed across the road at Kris' home for three years, eventually moving out in 2017.
The massive house boasts two kitchens, two pantries, several freezers and a huge walk-in refrigerator.
Here we can see the family in one of two kitchens that has a vast, round wooden table.
Kim paid $23 million (£17.3m) to buy out her husband's share of the Hidden Hills house following their divorce in 2022, and has maintained its monastic vibe since.
She has continued to put her stamp on the property, adding new art and personal items, but explained to Vogue in 2022: "Everything in my home is really minimal. I find there is so much chaos out there in the world that when I come home, I want it to be just very quiet."
Even the kitchen appears to be a temple to calm, with its light-coloured wooden cabinets and cool marble counter top, not a trace of clutter in sight, which is pretty remarkable considering the star lives here with her four children from her marriage.
'Shockingly, four kids have not messed up my cream house,' she says.
In the living room, an unbleached Steinway piano takes pride of place by the window, in keeping with the general neutral colour scheme.
Kim has admitted she gave up trying to learn to play years ago, but she's certainly got her hands full with reports in November 2024 suggesting she is undertaking a huge renovation project on her home.
Several of the exterior walls were removed, exposing the interior, so perhaps Kim wants a change!
Kim purchased a 2,260-square-foot (210sqm) condo for $1.6 million (£1.2m) in 2017, in Calabasas, before listing the property for $3.5 million (£2.6m) two years later.
It was relisted in 2022 and 2023 but was reported to be still on the market in November 2024, despite having been redesigned by celebrated architect Vincent Van Duysen several years ago.
She purchased another condo in the same area off-plan in 2016, which was listed at $2.7 million (£2m) in 2023 but didn't sell, so neither were snapped up.
Not content with just one Hidden Hills mansion, Kim and Kanye invested in a second neighbouring property in October 2019 for $3 million (£2.2m).
Earlier in the same year, they had also purchased a second adjoining house in an off-market deal for $2.7 million (£2m), securing seven-and-a-half acres (3ha) of land surrounding their primary Hidden Hills mansion.
Inside, the home offers vaulted, wooden ceilings in the expansive main living room, along with four bedrooms, four bathrooms and a four-car garage.
Encompassing 3,874 square feet (359sqm) in total, the ranch was a sizeable real estate investment for the former couple, and all for the sake of protecting their privacy.
No Kardashian property would be complete without a pool and an expertly landscaped backyard. Featuring a covered patio and built-in barbecue terrace for hungry celebrity guests, it's not known if the pair ever resided at the property.
In the wake of their divorce, Kim took ownership of the house. In September 2022, she placed it on the market for $5.3 million (£4.1m) with Tomer Fridman of The Fridman Group, earning herself a significant return on her initial investment.
Across the road, you'll find the home's state-of-the-art equestrian facilities, which include a four-stall horse barn, a tack room, a feed room and a corral area.
Kim's eldest daughter, North West, is especially fond of horse riding and even had a Western-style seventh birthday party back in 2020.
News of Kim and Kanye's split came in 2021 after months of rumours and seven years of marriage. We now know that Kanye claimed the ranches in the divorce settlement, while Kim bought her husband out of the Hidden Hills estate for $23 million (£18m).
The pair finally agreed on a settlement over custody and child maintenance in November 2022, sharing joint custody of their children.
Ye pays Kardashian $200,000 (£157,000) a month in child support, and they split the cost of their children's security, schooling and university fees. Neither pays the other spousal support.
Kim bought another Hidden Hills property in 2022 as a 'buffer' home when her ex-husband purchased a house nearby to be near his children.
Clearly a tear-down purchase, she never got around to rebuilding the 4,200 square-foot (390sqm) pad. However, according to Hello Magazine, Kim put the fixer-upper back on the market later that year, less than six months after buying it.
Priced at $7 million (£5.2m), she was hoping to make a profitable $700k (£517k) on what she paid for the estate.
Perhaps the reason Kim decided to sell up her Hidden Hills buffer home so quickly was to snap up this beautiful seaside estate.
Built in 1944, the Malibu beach house previously belonged to supermodel Cindy Crawford. Crawford reportedly purchased the property for over $50 million (£37m) from biotech engineer Walter de Logi's wife after he died in 2014.
Hidden from sight behind a huge gate and at the end of a long stretch of driveway, how much did our favourite aspiring lawyer and model pay for the pad?
Undergoing extensive renovations in the 1990s and more recently in 2016, Kim's new four-bedroom Mediterranean-style villa was once a six-acre (2.4ha) estate before being split into two lots.
Cindy Crawford sold the smaller of the two parcels to a retired hedge fund manager, Adam Weiss.
After listing it in March 2022 at a little under $100 million (£74m), Weiss sold up to the Skims founder in September 2022 in an off-market deal for a much lower $70.4 million (£52m). The savvy entrepreneur strikes again!
Alongside a light and spacious gym, the 7,500-square-foot (697sqm) house hosts numerous roomy living areas illuminated via walls of glass throughout offering glittering views across Malibu beaches.
Cindy Crawford still lives in her next-door parcel, where Kim will also be neighbours with Leonardo DiCaprio and Neil Diamond, no less.
The Malibu estate is reportedly the fourth priciest California home sale of 2022, lagging slightly behind Bel Air's jaw-dropping The One mega-mansion, which sold at auction for a whopping $126 million (£94m).
Outside, Kim and her brood can enjoy a full-size tennis court framed by mature trees, a wraparound deck for alfresco dining and a pool area with a cabana and fireplace.
Moreover, a winding pathway leads down to a secluded beach, the perfect spot for one of the world's most famous women to relax by the sea.
The house, which miraculously escaped the devastating LA fires in January 2025, was given its debut on Season Six of The Kardashians.
Kim is joined by the rest of her family and can be seen lounging by her massive pool and watching the dolphins.
Kim has said it has been her lifelong goal to own a home in Malibu, and she plans to undertake an extensive renovation project to create her dream home.
Kim's pending home build project is also her most adventurous. She has commissioned Japanese architect Tadao Ando to design a vacation home on a piece of land in Palm Springs.
She originally bought the undeveloped site in California's Madison Club in La Quinta for $6.3 million (£4.7m) in 2019 with then-husband Kanye.
The land was awarded to Kim in her divorce settlement, but teams were still waiting to break ground in February 2025, delayed by various building permits not being granted.
Sharing Ando's vision in several Instagram posts, Kim reveals a 'spaceship'-style building with a central circular courtyard right in the centre of the futuristic home.
The imposing structure, which will be built in Ando's signature streamlined concrete, will reportedly feature multiple bedrooms and bathrooms and an outdoor elevator.
The star visited the Pritzker prize-winning architect in Japan in April 2023 and has said that she is 'so deeply honoured... to have the opportunity to work with him and finally see this special project come to life."
It was her ex-husband, Kanye West, who introduced Kim to the work of Ando when they visited Japan in 2018, and the proposed house has been dubbed the 'revenge mansion'.
Sharing a picture of Ando working on drawings for her new home, Kim wrote: 'I visited his office in Japan so that we could make the finishing touches before we break ground.'
Clearly excited by the project, the home is bound to boast spectacular views as the land it sits on grants views of the three surrounding mountain ranges: San Jacinto, Santa Rosa and the San Bernardino mountains.
Let's just hope the building work is back on course soon. The mum of four is said to still spend much of her time in her main expansive Hidden Hills estate with the kids and 'momager' Kris Jenner close by.
With her divorce from Ye long finalised and their assets divided, Kim is free to pursue her passion for buying and selling property. And building, too, it would appear. We can't wait to see what she does next…

Mission to Zyxx's creators are laughing their way through the sci-fi spinoff boom
Charles Pulliam-Moore is a reporter focusing on film, TV, and pop culture. Before The Verge, he wrote about comic books, labor, race, and more at io9 and Gizmodo for almost five years. When Mission to Zyxx debuted in 2017, the podcasting space was very different. There were fewer shows, and more money was being spent as companies rushed to figure out how to capitalize on the growing medium. At a time when many big podcasts were focused on news and investigative reporting, Zyxx — an improvised comedy about a group of alien diplomats journeying across the galaxy in search of adventure — felt like an oddity that was channeling the spirit of classic radio dramas. The show was a loving sendup of Star Wars and Star Trek 's most iconic (and ridiculous) narrative beats. And while nostalgia was a big part of Zyxx 's appeal, meticulous sound design and inspired, on-the-spot performances made each episode sound like something from podcasting's future. When Mission to Zyxx came to an end in 2022, the show's creators — Alden Ford, Jeremy Bent, Allie Kokesh, Seth Lind, Winston Noel, and Moujan Zolfaghari — needed a break and time to figure out what they wanted to do next. Eventually they landed on The Young Old Derf Chronicles; it's set in the same universe as Mission to Zyxx and features many voices from the original, but it's a very different kind of (mini)series, one that's lampooning something much more modern about sci-fi. When I recently sat down with Ford and Lind ahead of The Young Old Derf Chronicles ' debut at this year's Tribeca Film Festival, they told me that their new podcast is, in part, a response to the way that studios have become obsessed with expanding their established franchises with prequels. But The Young Old Derf Chronicles is also the creative team's way of showing fans how important their continued support has been. This interview has been edited and condensed for clarity. Looking back, how has the Zyxx fandom evolved, would you say, and how has fan engagement impacted the show? Alden Ford: When we started in season 2, we started a Patreon to help fund some of the more ambitious aspects of the show and pay [sound designer] Shane [O'Connell] for the work that he was increasingly putting into every episode to make them bigger and crazier. That really connected us to our listeners in a way that I don't think we really would have expected in season 1 when it was just a show that was out there and people liked it. Seth Lind: Something that surprised us was just how deeply so many of the fans care about the show. When we set out to make it, we wanted it to be funny, we wanted people to like it, and we wanted it to be popular. But we didn't really dare to hope that it would become so important and meaningful to people. We heard from people saying, 'I was in the deepest depression of my life and this was the thing I would look forward to,' or 'My partner passed away and this is the first thing that made me laugh.' Right around the time the show was ending, a group of fans made us this thick book they called Mission to Zine that was a collection of art and letters saying what the show had meant to them. Things like that made us feel a responsibility to our fans. The show is violent and it can get very blue, but we always worked to protect its heart and make it feel like it was coming from a good place. If there was something that seemed like it was punching down, we'd cut it out, and while characters could be mean as individuals, but like the show as a whole couldn't. I think those instincts led to us cultivating a fandom that really cares for each other. And having that community made it so much more meaningful to make the show. AF: As fans of sci-fi, we all know very, very intimately how disappointing it can be when you're a fan of something that doesn't land the plane or gets canceled too soon. And so for us, once we got a few seasons in we got invested in making it as good as possible. Especially in the back half of season 5, we were like, 'What are the ways to wrap up this show so that everyone who listens and cares about it is going to be satisfied by it?' Of course, that's an impossible task because you're never going to do something that makes everybody happy. But I think we ended it on our own terms, which is more than a lot of shows can say. Why Derf? AF: There's a couple different reasons. The fun reason is that we all know how much Star Wars there is now. I'm not complaining, but I do think it has become its own kind of cliché that no character, no matter how silly or tertiary, deserves their own fully fledged miniseries where you explain every possible aspect of their backstory. You're not hype for a Glup Shitto series? AF: [ Laughs ] I mean, yes, I'm looking forward to the Salacious B. Crumb trilogy and the show chronicling Max Rebo's rise to stardom. But yeah, we thought that if we were going to do something else in the Zyxx universe, it'd be fun to do exactly the things Star Wars would do — something like an Obi-Wan, or a Mandalorian, or a Boba Fett series. Parodying the genre and the tropes around it felt very true to us generally. But the other reason is that Justin [Tyler] is a guy we all love and he's a fan favorite. SL: Derf is the closest thing to being the Obi-Wan of this universe, and just being able to call him 'Young Old Derf' completely sold me on the idea of doing a show about him. Because, like, that's so stupid, and 'the story of Derf when he was slightly less old' is a spinoff no one asked for. But I also remember Justin very early on in the first couple episodes, he gave Alden some feedback about the show, saying that, like, 'Pleck has to be important.' Especially in the early seasons, Pleck — who's the audience surrogate — was kind of a punching bag, and it was kind of a joke that he was important. But Justin was like, 'As silly as this all is, this guy actually has to be someone who ends up being significant and he has to have an arc to follow.' I think that really helped the show find its voice, and is a big part of what helped us last so many seasons. Did Andor inform your approach to crafting The Young Old Derf Chronicles? AF: One of the challenges we gave ourselves is making a new kind of show. Not that we wanted to reinvent the wheel or anything, but we wanted to make Derf distinctly different in substance and structure from the original show. With the new show, it's essentially a first-person narrative where pretty much everything is pretty being told from Derf's perspective. And from an improv standpoint, we approached it way less from the typical Zyxx format where we start on the ship, we get a mission, and then we're on the planet of the week. With Derf, we thought, what if we treated it more just like a 'fuck around' where we're just having fun with Derf in these new settings with a lot more walk-ons, digressions, and longer scenes where weirder stuff happens and we're not as worried about the propulsion of the plot or a strict three-act structure? It's been way harder to make and way harder to edit and produce, but it's really fulfilling for us especially because we're not just palette-swapping Mission to Zyxx. I don't know if Andor was trying to do that by mixing up the structure and the style, but I do think that's been the key for getting us creatively excited about making this thing. Would you be open to more Zyxx beyond The Young Old Derf Chronicles? AF: Absolutely. I think doing this show as a limited series has really felt like a good and sustainable way to keep things going. We've all talked about doing this new show, you know, seeing how listeners respond, and then reassessing our workload to see if doing more in the future makes sense with our lives now. If we continue to make shows in the Zyxx world, it will probably be in ways like this where we'll come up with something, we can produce 10 episodes, work for a year to actually make the thing, and then regroup to see what the next thing is. The Young Old Derf Chronicles does not yet have a firm release date. But if you're interested in seeing the Mission to Zyxx crew perform and produce an episode live, tickets are still available for their upcoming live show at Caveat in New York City, which will also be livestreamed.

Billy Joel's ex-wife Elizabeth Weber speaks out after his brain disorder diagnosis
Billy Joel's first ex-wife, Elizabeth Weber, has broken her silence following the iconic musician's shocking brain disorder diagnosis. The 'Uptown Girl' hitmaker, who was married to Weber from 1973 to 1982, revealed last month that he was diagnosed with normal pressure hydrocephalus. Following the diagnosis, Weber reflected on the pair's ill-fated marriage — saying that she always knew the so-called Piano Man would become a star. 'He's worked so hard all of his life,' Weber told E! News at the Tribeca Festival premiere of 'Billy Joel: And So It Goes' in NYC on Wednesday. 'I've never known anybody who worked harder than he did in all those years we were together and working together.' While the 5-time Grammy winner, 76, wasn't in attendance at the glitzy premiere, his wife Alexis Roderick Joel, 43, was there in his place. 'I just want him to be restored to good health so he can enjoy his life and his wife and his children. He earned that,' Weber said of her ex-husband. 'The restoration of his good health is all I really care about.' Although their union crumbled after just seven years, Weber told the outlet that she still admires his work deeply, to the point where she finds it difficult to choose a favorite track. 'There's too many of them, and they're all marvelous,' she said. 'Someone can be in the audience and look at him and say, 'That could be me.'' 'Not everybody can be an unnamed pianist who sings, but everyone thinks that they could do that or be that,' she added. The 'New York State of Mind' musician canceled all his tour dates through next year after he announced his diagnosis. The rare disorder, which reportedly affects about 0.2% of people between the ages of 70 and 80, occurs when cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) builds up inside the skull, presses on the brain and disrupts cognitive functioning. 'Billy Joel has announced that he will be cancelling all scheduled concerts following a recent diagnosis of Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH),' the 'Only the Good Die Young' crooner's team said in a lengthy Instagram announcement on May 23. 'This condition has been exacerbated by recent concert performances, leading to problems with hearing, vision, and balance,' it continued. 'Under his doctor's instructions, Billy is undergoing specific physical therapy and has been advised to refrain from performing during this recovery period.' 'I'm sincerely sorry to disappoint our audience,' his team added, 'and thank you for understanding.' Following the news, his wife Alexis broke her silence on the diagnosis, thanking fans for the 'outpouring of love and support.' 'We are so grateful for the wonderful care and swift diagnosis we received,' she wrote on Instagram. 'Bill is beloved by so many, and to us, he is a father and husband who is at the center of our world. We are hopeful for his recovery. We look forward to seeing you all in the future.' Earlier this week, Howard Stern shared a positive update on his longtime pal's well-being. During an episode of SiriusXM's 'The Howard Stern Show' Tuesday, the 71-year-old shock jock insisted that the crooner is 'not dying.' 'I saw Billy Joel two weeks ago,' he told co-host Robin Quivers. 'We had dinner together.' 'Yeah, he does have issues,' Stern continued. 'But he said, 'Yeah, you can tell people, you know, I'm not dying.' You know, he wants people to know that. He just, he's gotta deal with some medical stuff, but he was delightful.'

Hoda Kotb reveals who she wants to replace her on 'Today' fourth hour
Hoda Kotb reveals who she wants to replace her on 'Today' fourth hour Show Caption Hide Caption Watch Hoda Kotb's 'Today' announcement, Jenna Bush Hager's response Hoda Kotb revealed that she's leaving the "Today" show in early 2025. Later in the morning, Jenna Bush Hager reacted on set. Hoda Kotb is revealing who she thinks should replace her on the fourth hour of the "Today" show. The former "Hoda and Jenna" cohost left the NBC morning franchise's main anchor desk and fourth hour in January to launch new wellness venture Joy 101, but she still has opinions to offer about who should sit next to Jenna Bush Hager. Kotb told "Watch What Happens Live" host Andy Cohen that "anybody would be so lucky, but to me, the contenders are Savannah, I think she would be great; I think Justin Sylvester is amazing" in reference to the E! News host and frequent "Today" fourth hour guest. Hoda Kotb returns to host 'Today' with Jenna Bush Hager: What to know "Scarlett Johansson crushed it, she said it was her favorite job," Kotb added, although she and Cohen agreed that the Oscar winner is unlikely to join the show full-time. The mom of two continued by saying that "Las Culturistas" comedian "Matt Rogers is great" and "also our dear friend Sheinelle Jones, who is going through a horrible time, but I think she would be good." However, Kotb insisted that "I feel like it's whoever clicks great with Jenna." The NBC morning show's loyal fans have floated Jones as a replacement, but the third hour star has been absent for months during the health battle of her late husband, Uche Ojeh. On May 23, "Today" show anchors announced on air that Ojeh died from an aggressive form of brain cancer at 45. "With profound sadness, we share this morning that Uche Ojeh, the husband of our friend and 'Today' co-host Sheinelle Jones, has passed away after a courageous battle with an aggressive form of brain cancer called glioblastoma," Savannah Guthrie said on the "Today" show.
