Lil Wayne gets $10 million for Miami Beach home with skate park and shark lagoon
Rapper Lil Wayne has sold his Miami Beach mansion, which features a skate park and a shark lagoon, for $10 million.
There’s a new owner of Wayne manor. Dwayne Michael Carter Jr., the rapper better known as Lil Wayne, has sold his waterfront mansion in Miami Beach, Fla., for $10 million.
The 15,101-square-foot house, which features a rooftop skate park and shark lagoon, was originally introduced to market in 2015 for $18 million — almost double the sale price. More recently it was listed for $12 million, records show.
Tucked behind tall hedges, the glass-and-steel spread has nine bedrooms and 10 bathrooms that include a two-story master suite accessed by a glass-enclosed elevator. In the living room, a three-story wall of windows takes in waterway views. Multiple kitchens, a media room and a professional recording studio are among other features.
Terraces and decking create additional living space outdoors. A private dock sits just beyond the swimming pool. There’s also a three-car garage.
Ty Forkner of One Sotheby’s International Realty was the listing agent and also represented the buyer.
Wayne, 34, is among the best-selling artists of all time with over 100 million record sales worldwide. He has won five Grammys including the award for Best Rap Album in 2009 for “Tha Carter III.â€
He bought the property in 2011 for $11.6 million, public records show.
