Kanye West’s lavish $14 million gift to Kim Kardashian while they were still married

Kim Kardashian wasn’t happy with the $14 million luxury home that Kanye West bought her for Christmas. Because of this, the rapper has to back out of the deal, which is a bad situation. Page Six reports that the beautiful 4,700-square-foot house on the beach was recently put back on the market because West failed to keep a $600,000 deposit on the property.

He had planned to buy it as a surprise for Kardashian after seeing it at Art Basel, but the story says the deal has been canceled. West will lose his six-figure deposit, but thankfully nothing else. Reports say Kardashian is unhappy, but West tells a different story and says his decision was caused by “leaks” about the deal. Insiders say this line of thinking doesn’t make sense since West made his buy public. He was being followed by reporters and had a group of people and a film crew with him when he got to the “billionaire beach bunker” to check it out.

A West official replied that none of these reasons are good. “When Kim and Kanye went to Miami to look at the condo after Christmas, Kim loved it but thought it was too public for them,” the rep said. They are looking for a vacation home that is farther away and will give their family more peace right now.

The 18-story building with the four-bedroom, five-and-a-half-bathroom condo was home to famous people like former Goldman Sachs chairman Lloyd Blankfein, billionaire Len Blavatnik, and sugar tycoon José Fanjul Jr. The condo had all the amenities you’d expect from a super-luxury condo, including a private fitness center, spa, pool, concierge, and underground parking. West also bought a unit with a deck that went all the way around and had views of the city and the water.

The couple and their three (soon to be four) children currently live mostly in their Hidden Hills, California, home, which they renovated with the help of famous builder Axel Vervoordt and moved back into in December 2017.
