LIL WAYNE

Purchasing a $17 million home without a mortgage sounds like an easy decision to make if you’re one of the richest rappers at present. While he previously lost a couple of million after selling one of his previous homes in Miami, Lil Wayne is back at it again with an even more impressive property than the last. Located on Allison Island, just off Miami Beach, is his 10,632-square-foot residence that is as opulent as the lifestyle he is well known for.

It has seven bedrooms, floor-to-ceiling windows that perfectly frame the ocean views, and a dark wood-clad entryway that lends a minimalist yet elegant feel to the modernist home. Other features include a gallery kitchen, balconies, and open-plan rooms that take full advantage of the Miami sunshine. The outdoors are just as exciting, with dining spaces, cabanas, a pool, and its own private beach access.
