Those who keep up with the Kardashians know that Kim Kardashian has amassed quite an impressive real estate portfolio in recent years. The reality star and Skims founder, who famously favors a minimalist look and a neutral color palette, primarily resides in the Hidden Hills, California, home that her ex-husband Kanye West turned from a suburban McMansion to a serene sanctuary with help from Axel Vervoordt, Claudio Silvestrin, and Vincent Van Duysen. With her latest purchases, the mogul seems to be focused on creating spaces she can escape to. She’s building a Palm Springs vacation home with Tadao Ando, another home in an undisclosed location with Kengo Kuma, and most recently, she purchased a beachfront Malibu mansion for $70.4 million.
In an exclusive clip from season three, episode seven of her Hulu reality show The Kardashians (which hits the streaming service July 6), Kim takes her younger sister Khloé Kardashian to visit the new house for the first time.
“This house just really represents to me a lot of the hard work that I’ve put in, and it’s like enjoying the fruits of my labor,” says Kim in a confessional interview. Looking out over the ocean from the property, which sits high on a bluff above the beach, she discusses her future plans for the house. “It’s new energy. I am so looking forward to creating so many memories here,” she says.
Though the clip doesn’t show the inside of the home, Kim is clearly planning to make the space, which once belonged to supermodel Cindy Crawford, her own. “It will be fab once it’s done,” she tells her sister, alluding to renovations.
Kim purchased the 7,450-square-foot Mediterranean-style villa in 2022, and it was one of the most expensive real estate acquisitions in Malibu. In addition to the private beach access, the property includes amenities such as a pool with a cabana featuring an outdoor fireplace, a tennis court, a firepit area, and a spa.
