Explore Drake's $12M 'YOLO' estate in Los Angeles

The “Yolo estate”

Drake, the Canadian rapper, musician, and actor, has sold his Los Angeles YOLO mansion for $12 million.

The nearly 12,500-square-foot estate is set on slightly more than 3 acres in the celebrity-studded Hidden Hills neighborhood and has various amenities for living the hip-hop-star lifestyle, such as a grotto pool with a swim-up bar and a mechanical bull.

The Pool

According to the listing with Branden and Rayni Williams of the Beverly Hills Estates, “The YOLO estate is a jaw-dropping resort-style home tucked away in the ultra-exclusive, guard-gated enclave of Hidden Hills,” using the abbreviation “you only live once.” This English Tudor is the perfect fusion of country charm and contemporary comfort, situated in a secluded cul-de-sac and flanked by equestrian trails.

According to PropertyShark records, Drake, real name Aubrey Drake Graham, spent $7.7 million for the property in 2012. According to the listing information, the singer of the songs “Wait for U,” “Toosie Slide,” and “Way 2 Sexy” initially listed the house in March for $14.8 million. Early in May, the deal was made.

The main house, which is reached by a stone bridge, has beamed ceilings, six fireplaces, a recording studio and lounge, a home cinema, and a wine cellar and tasting area, according to the listing. There is also a roughly 2,000-square-foot master bedroom suite with seating and bar spaces, as well as a marble bathroom with two vanities and soaking baths.

The listing also mentions an 80-foot granite waterslide, waterfalls, and many screens in addition to the swim-up bar. Stables, a tennis/basketball court, and a sand volleyball court are also available.
