An Overview of Diplo’s Malibu Mansion

Diplo’s new home is located in Malibu’s Point Dume area, which is a popular neighborhood for celebrities. The DJ is not the first celebrity to live in the Bali-inspired Malibu mansion, as it has long been one of the most desirable areas for the rich and famous. The property was once home to the singer, songwriter, musician, and rapper Kid Rock, who bought it in 2006 for $11.6 million. He purchased the villa as a vacation home rather than as his main residence. Kid Rock then put the property back on the market in2013, with a price tag of $13.5 million. Unfortunately, there was a lack of interest in the property, and it did not sell for its initial asking price. Over the four years that the house was on the market, the price was dropped repeatedly. Eventually, it sold in 2017 for $9.5 million, and the buyer was Ryan Somers, a Beverley Hills-based businessman. The sale price meant that Kid Rock made a large loss on the property. Unlike Kid Rock, Somers managed to make a profit on the house when he sold it to Diplo for $13.2 million. The property measures 8,305 square feet and boasts seven bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms. It sits on a 1.5-acre plot that transports you to the tropics. So, let’s take a closer look at this fantastic Malibu property.
