Since 2014, Rihanna has resided in The Century, the most expensive and renowned condominium skyscraper in Los Angeles. Due to a forthcoming second child, staff, and an ever-growing retinue, her 3,500-square-foot, three-bedroom residence is feeling increasingly confined.

In order to resolve this issue, the Barbadian superstar buyd a 40th-floor penthouse at The Century for $21 million. Unique characteristics, nearly 9,000 square feet of living space, and breathtaking views make this residence suitable for an A-lister.
The affluent co-founder of Afterpay, Nick Molnar, divested himself of the apartment. Rihanna reportedly utilized Los Angeles’s mansion tax as leverage to negotiate a substantial reduction, given that the buy was finalized on March 31, one day prior to the implementation of the new tax. Had the buy been finalized in April, Molnar’s tax liability would have been $1.1 million.

Guests are upon exiting the private elevator and entering the entry gallery of the condo, where they are met with the splendor of the city skyline captured in the curved wall of floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room. The dark brown oak flooring in the dining room flows into the two islands, high-end appliances, and marble countertops in the all-white kitchen.

In addition to a lounge and two restrooms, the residence features a master suite featuring a curved bedroom, two custom wardrobes, and a soundproof movie theater furnished with velour recliners. Four outdoor terraces that face north, south, east, and west provide panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean, Catalina Island, Downtown Los Angeles skyscrapers, the San Gabriel Mountains, and even snow-capped Mount Baldy; they are the most magnificent features of the condominium.

Access to all of the building’s finest amenities is granted to Rihanna in exchange for a $8,814 monthly HOA for her penthouse. These include four deeded parking spaces in the garage, a 24-hour concierge, security officers, an outdoor pool and verdant gardens, on-site storage, a restaurant, and conference rooms, among others.
