Rapper and producer Dr. Dre sold his Carbon Beach home in Malibu, located in an area famously known as 'Billionaire's Beach,' for $16.5 million—twice the amount he paid for it in 2000. The nearly 9,000-square-foot contemporary residence features six bedrooms, seven bathrooms, a sauna, a gym, and a water-facing recording studio, offering panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean through a series of large windows and sliding glass doors.

The Plot Where the Hadid Sisters' Destroyed Villa Stood in Malibu is Sold for $6.5 Million

The 3.25-acre plot of land, formerly the site of the Hadid sisters' childhood villa in Malibu, was sold for $6.5 million, according to Reuters. The land entered the market following the devastating fires in January 2025 that destroyed the structure of the property. [2]

The villa, built on land located on Carbon Canyon Road, was purchased in 2007 by Yolanda Hadid and musician David Foster for $4.5 million. The property gained prominence after appearing on the reality TV series *The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills* and was later sold in 2015 for $19.5 million. At the time of the 2025 fires, the legal status of the property had not been publicly disclosed. [2]

After the house was destroyed by fire, the land was claimed as a building plot in May 2025, with an asking price of $16 million, represented by real estate agents Daniel Milstein and Aaron Kirman from Christie's International Real Estate. The reconstruction plans called for a 14,000-square-foot villa, but the identity of the final buyer was not disclosed; the transaction was described as the most expensive land sale in the area since the mentioned earthquakes.
