The \u201cCan\u2019t Feel My Face\u201d singer, 31, just dropped $70 million on a new Bel Air pad. <\/p>\n<p>Dutch media mogul Reinout Oerlemans and his wife Danielle sold the house to the Toronto native, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/the-weeknd-buys-70-million-los-angeles-mansion-11629400904?mod=e2tw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">according to the Wall Street Journal<\/a>. The couple revealed they originally didn\u2019t want to sell their renovated home until real-estate agents Rayni and Branden Williams of the Beverly Hills Estates approached them.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>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. <\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image
