Hip-hop superstar Future, real name Nayvadius DeMun Wilburn, is obviously having a great time. He was born in Atlanta. In addition to being called the “Greatest Rapper Alive” in a GQ piece, he also accomplished a huge business feat when he sold Influence Media Partners the rights to more than 600 of his publishing catalog titles for a sum estimated to be in the “high eight figures.” In addition, he and Rihanna will work together on the next soundtrack for “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.”
Future has achieved success in the real estate market in addition to his music career. The Real Deal claims that he recently paid a hefty $16.3 million for an almost brand-new property on Miami Beach’s exclusive guard-gated Allison Island.
The asking price is less than the original listing, but it is still far more than the $12.5 million that the property’s former owners, French insurance CEO Laurent Ouazana and his wife Pascale, paid in 2020. In the deal, the Ouazanas also acquired an adjoining parcel, which has since been sold to developers.
Future’s contemporary home was built in 2020 and sits on a gated property that is more than a quarter of an acre in size. The roughly 8,000 square foot, seven-bedroom, nine-bathroom residence is surrounded by stately palm trees and features high ceilings, large windows, and a smooth indoor-outdoor flow. Luxurious features on the property include staff quarters, a detached guesthouse, a rooftop patio, an elevator, and a three-car garage.
The home has a big great room that includes the dining and living rooms. The custom Ornare cabinetry, large eat-in island, and top-notch stainless steel equipment in the kitchen compliment the modern style of the kitchen.
On the upper level, there’s also a sophisticated master retreat that comes with a large balcony, a magnificent bathroom with double vanities, a glass-enclosed shower, and a freestanding soaking tub, as well as a lounge area with a wet bar and wine refrigerator.
The resort-style grounds outside feature a raised spa and infinity-edge pool, along with an open-air cabana equipped with a kitchen, making plenty of space for entertaining and outdoor leisure. A luxury yacht can be accommodated on the property, which has 75 feet of water frontage and its own dock.
Dina Goldentayer of Douglas Elliman represented the property listing, and Jordan Karp of Jordan Karp LLC represented the buyer. Future’s most recent real estate purchase showcases both his ongoing success and his appreciation of better things in life.
