Roddy Ricch has been making music for years, but it wasn’t until last January that his career finally took off with the release of “The Box,” a rap song that topped the Billboard Hot 100 for 11 weeks in a row and became one of 2020’s biggest successes. Despite the global shutdowns, Ricch prospered during the pandemic era, earning $20 million in a single year — more money “than I’ve ever made in my entire life, and while living at home” — and winning his first Grammy.

The 23-year-old Compton native wisely re-invested a portion of his millions in real estate, investing $5.6 million on a particularly remote Los Angeles property. The roughly one-acre mansion is tucked in the hills above Beverly Hills, at the end of a lengthy, gated driveway shared with three other estates. It has up to ten parking spaces, a huge swimming pool, and terraced gardens with a sports area and grassy lawns.

The detached guesthouse, according to the property ad, could easily be turned into a “gym… or music studio.” The main house was built in 1960, however it has recently been refurbished and expanded. The almost 3,500-square-foot structure now has a modern appearance, with trendy white and grey hues throughout. The home has two master bedrooms, one above and one downstairs, each with spa-like bathrooms and unique closets, according to the ad.

Almost all of the home’s public spaces include accordion-style glass doors that lead to the property’s wide patios, making them ideal for entertaining. There is a media room with blackout shades and parquet flooring throughout the entire building, in addition to a brand-new kitchen with stone worktops, custom cabinetry, and stainless steel designer equipment. The estate is surrounded by large trees and towering hedges, and it borders the late Eddie Van Halen’s home.

Ricch, born Rodrick Wayne Moore Jr., was mentored by the late Nipsey Hussle early in his career. Hussle is credited for inspiring the former gang member’s choice to invest in his hometown; he has already began purchasing commercial real estate in Compton. “Please Excuse Me for Being Antisocial,” his debut album, topped the Billboard charts for four weeks.
