Kim Kardashian has come out on top after a new ruling in her divorce from Kanye West.
We’ve been waiting to hear about the fate of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s house ever since their split, and now, we finally know who gets to keep their $60 million marital property.
The 40-year-old socialite has reportedly been awarded the $60 million estate in Hidden Hills, Calif., that the two shared during their marriage. The two negotiated a buyout price for the property, which they rebuilt together.
According to court documents filed with the Los Angeles County Court on Tuesday, October 12, Kim is officially the one who will be staying with the Hidden Hills home. The SKIMS founder, 40, previously purchased the sprawling Southern California property with then-husband Kanye for $23 million in 2014, according to Dirt. In a February 2020 interview with Architectural Digest—which includes photos of the minimalist estate—Kim revealed that she was the one who first fell in love with the home where she and Kanye would eventually raise their kids North, Saint, Chicago and Psalm.
West, 44, designed the majority of the home with architects like Axel Vervoordt over the course of several years.
According to the outlet, negotiations on the property were reportedly very cordial between the two, who have been very supportive of one another in the months since the news of their divorce broke.
The pair originally purchased the property back in 2014 for $20 million. Kardashian and their four children, North, 8, Saint, 5, Chicago, 3, and Psalm, 2, have reportedly been residing in the home amid the divorce.
West, meanwhile, has been staying at his ranch in Wyoming, which he recently listed for $11 million.
West has also listed seven commercial properties in the area for more than $3.2 million, as reported by the Cody Enterprise.
It seems that the “Power” rapper is looking to stay closer to his family, as he recently reportedly purchased a $57.3 million beach house in Malibu, according to TMZ.
Many fans speculated over the past few weeks that West and Kardashian had called off their split considering they have been vocally supportive of one another, with Kardashian even appearing in one of her estranged husband’s “Donda” shows wearing a wedding dress.
However, Kardashian confirmed that the divorce was still happening during her monologue on “Saturday Night Live.” She said:
“I married the best rapper of all time. Not only that, he’s the richest black man in America. A talented, legit genius who gave me four incredible kids. So, when I divorced him, you have to know it came down to just one thing: His personality.”
“We passed by this incredibly extravagant house while strolling through the neighborhood. I’d just had North, and we were doing a lot of walking so I could work off some of the baby fat,” Kim told the publication at the time. “I didn’t really know Kanye’s style at that point, but I thought the house was perfection. Kanye was less enthusiastic. He said, ‘It’s workable.’”
