Kim Kardashian has decided to retain ownership of the Hidden Hills mansion she acquired during her divorce from Kanye West. Originally purchased in 2014, the mansion became the home where they began their family. Despite the mixed memories associated with the property, Kim recently shared that the positive moments prevail over the negative ones.
Cherishing Family Memories
In a recent interview with PEOPLE, Kim emphasized the importance of the mansion in her family’s life. “The best memories I have growing up are in our family home, and I always want to create those memories and a safe space for my kids,” she said. “So, I can’t ever imagine moving.”
Kim also highlighted the beautiful moments they’ve created in the mansion over the years. Known for her frequent renovations of the property, Kim and Kanye invested millions into the home after purchasing it for $20 million. During the extensive renovations, the couple lived with Kris Jenner for an extended period.
Following her divorce from Kanye in 2021, Kim bought out his share of the mansion for $23 million, despite the home’s market value being $60 million. Kanye had made public attempts to reconcile with Kim, but their asset division went smoothly. Kim proceeded to renovate the mansion again post-divorce.
A Sanctuary of Minimalism
During her interview, Kim expressed her love for the home’s minimalistic design and neutral color palette, even though it has faced criticism online. Her own daughter, North, has labeled the house as boring, but Kim finds it to be a peaceful retreat.
While some may find it unusual that Kim chooses to stay in a home filled with memories of her ex-husband, her decision is perhaps easier given her extensive real estate portfolio. The Hidden Hills mansion is just one of many properties she owns.
Expanding Real Estate Holdings
In addition to her Hidden Hills mansion, Kim owns a condominium in Calabasas, California. Purchased in 2017 for $1.6 million, the three-bedroom property reflects her minimalist style. She also acquired a sprawling ranch in Cody, Wyoming, in 2019 for $14 million.
Kim Kardashian’s choice to remain in the mansion underscores her commitment to preserving a sense of stability and continuity for her children, demonstrating that for her, the home is more than just a property—it’s a cherished space of family and memories.
