The Weeknd buys massive $70 million LA house

The Weeknd just bought a mansion fit for a king. The “Can’t Feel My Face” singer, 31, just dropped $70 million on a new Bel Air pad.

Dutch media mogul Reinout Oerlemans and his wife Danielle sold the house to the Toronto native, according to the Wall Street Journal. The couple revealed they originally didn’t want to sell their renovated home until real-estate agents Rayni and Branden Williams of the Beverly Hills Estates approached them.

The property was sold in an off-market deal when the Oerlemans finally came around to consider selling the place to The Weeknd, whose real name is Abel Tesfaye.

The sprawling property sits on 1.6 acres that overlooks the Bel-Air Country Club. The 33,000-square-foot mansion is composed of nine bedrooms, a sports court, a spa with a sauna, a hammam, an indoor pool, an outdoor infinity pool with a waterfall, a movie theater, a gym and a music studio.

The glossy industrial home is dramatic yet contemporary. The estate has a Mediterranean feel to it and double gates will transport The Weeknd into the seclusion of his own private luxurious abode.

And who can live in a home without French doors, sweeping staircases, a terrace and a grand pond on their property? These amenities will defiantly make the R&B rocker feel like he’s home.
