Rihanna buys $21M century city penthouse as she hints at her unborn baby's gender

Soon-to-be mom-of-two Rihanna must have felt her three-bedroom, 3,500-square-foot primary residence in a luxury LA skyscraper was a bit too tight for her growing family with rapper A$AP Rocky.

According to Rap-Up:

As she prepares to welcome her second child, the billionaire pop icon is upgrading to a deluxe penthouse in the sky. According to Dirt.com, Rihanna has purchased a $21 million penthouse once owned by actor Matthew Perry, in Century City, Calif. The 9,290-square-foot luxury condo is located at The Century, one of the most expensive and prestigious residential skyscrapers in Los Angeles. 

The 35-year-old singer currently owns a 3-bedroom, 3,500-square-foot unit in the building, but her new digs are almost three times the size and occupy the building’s entire 40th floor. 

The 4-bedroom, 6.5-bathroom home, which she purchased from Afterpay co-founder Nick Molnar, was originally listed for $28 million, but Rihanna negotiated a hefty discount. 

The lavish amenities include a private elevator, floor-to-ceiling windows with skyline views, dark brown hardwood floors, and an all-white kitchen with marble countertops. Other features include a soundproof movie theater, master suite with curved bedroom, and private lounge. Rihanna’s famous neighbors at The Century include Denzel Washington, reality stars Terry and Heather Dubrow, and Candy Spelling, who lives on the two floors above Rihanna. 

The Fenty Beauty mogul, who is worth a reported $1.4 billion, already has an impressive real estate portfolio including two properties in Beverly Hills. Back in 2021, she paid $23.8 million for the side-by-side mansions, which she reportedly leases. 

The singer, who is pregnant with the pair’s second child, shopped for baby clothes in LA Wednesday, and eagle-eyed fans noted some of the items she picked up were very telling. 

In photos obtained by Daily Mail, the “Lift Me Up” hitmaker, 35, was spotted checking out a pastel pink knitted romper, leading fans to believe that she’s expecting a baby girl.
