Kanye West’s gutted former Malibu mansion is foreclosed, goes up for auction

Kanye West’s once dream $57 million dollar mansion is set to be auctioned off in front of a fountain in Pomona, California, this week.

The beach front home, which was the center of a court battle last week, is in foreclosure and will be up for grabs on Thursday, the Post has learned.

The house will be auctioned behind the fountain in Civic Center Plaza in Pomona, said a letter sent to investors according to the Wall Street Journal.

The letter went on to say the loan’s balance was nearly $21.1 million. It’s just the latest saga surrounding the architecturally celebrated home designed by famed architect Tadao Ando.

Kanye bought the home in 2021 with a vision of creating a minimalistic bunker.  He ordered handyman Tony Saxon to strip the home of all wiring and plumbing.  He took out two fire pits and a jacuzzi.

Saxon just won a six figure  judgement against Saxon surrounding his work at the home. A Los Angeles jury awarded $140,000 for medical expenses and lost wages to Tony Saxon Wednesday.  He was originally asking the rapper for $1.7 million.

West and his now wife testified at the trial where several bizarre stories surrounding West surfaced including his plans for the once architecturally celebrated property.

The concepts went from a “bomb shelter” to a “monastery” to a “recording studio” and finally a “playground,” testimony revealed.

Saxon also told tales of late night trips with West to Home Depot to get tools. He testified West “had gotten distracted by a flower arrangement,” causing them to miss out on buying any equipment.

And in one case of mistaken identity, a worker who called West’s then wife Kim Kardashian “Bianca” in error was afraid he’d be fired.

West sold the home in 2024 for $21 million dollars less than half of what he paid for it. The current owner Bo Belmont is reportedly behind on his payments.

His plan was to reportedly make $8.5 million in renovations and sell it for over $50 million. “I am working tirelessly to find a win in this situation,” he said.

Calls from The Post to Belmont weren’t immediately returned.
