Rihanna’s Beverly Hills starter home has sold for $14.9 million, Gimme has learned.
The seven-bedroom, nine-bath contemporary home at 9152 Janice Place was last asking $16.49 million.
It’s in an exclusive gated community, with stunning canyon views, and it comes with serious star power.
The nine-time Grammy award-winning, Barbadian-born pop star and entrepreneur paid around $5.1 million for the home in 2011 and then sold it for $7.65 million in 2014.
Two years later, EGOT-winner John “All of Me” Legend and model/cookbook author Chrissy Teigen paid $14.1 million for the property in 2016.
They lived here with their two kids and Teigen’s mom, Vilailuck, otherwise known as “Pepper Thai,” during part of the pandemic. (Teigen at the time said she was “incredibly lucky” to live there with her family, including her mother and to have so much support from staff, including multiple nannies and a house manager.)
But after Teigen got pregnant again, the power couple listed the home for $24 million in August 2020. It sold a year later for $16.8 million.
The new owner tried to flip it after a few months of ownership for $19.25 million but had no luck.
Following price slashes and broker swaps, it went back on the market last February and finally sold and closed four months later — at a nearly $2 million loss for the seller.
If the home looks familiar, Teigen often posted shots of it on her Instagram account, which has 40.1 million followers. If you’re still hungry for house photos, it also served as a backdrop for her cookbook, “Cravings: Hungry for More.”
Built in 1966, the home has gone through major renovations including upgrades by Legend and Teigen’s Hollywood interior designer.
At 8,520 square feet, it features 33-foot ceilings, a sculptural staircase and design details like patterned ceilings from Thailand, oak floors and clay and steel rolled walls.
Outside, the property features a sleek saltwater pool and Jacuzzi, and an outdoor kitchen with a woodburning oven, a grill and a pergola wrapped in grapevines — all on 0.86 acres.
Inside, the home opens to a foyer that leads to a living room and sitting room separated by a statement concrete and brass fireplace. There’s also a chef’s kitchen, floor-to-ceiling windows, a large home gym, and a movie theater.
The main bedroom comes with a walk-in closet, a spa-like bath and a “glam room.”
The listing brokers were Justin Paul Huchel, of Carolwood Estates, and Carl Gambino of Compass.
