    Rihanna is expanding her family – she already shares a son with rapper A$AP Rocky and the couple have baby number two on the way – and her property portfolio as well.

    She becomes not the first major star to live in the impressive property. alum Matthew Perry once lived in the home as well, which he sold in 2021 after purchasing it in 2017.

    Matthew initially bought the home in 2017 for $20 million, though the deal to sell it in 2021 for $21.6 million made it a record-breaking sale as the apartment became Southern California's priciest condo in 2021. The actor sold it to Nick Molnar, the billionaire co-founder of tech company Afterpay, who had initially listed it for $28 million.
