bad bunny won’t be renting Airbnbs in LA anymore, that’s for sure. The rapper recently purchased an $8.8 million eight-bedroom mansion in the Hollywood Hills. Although he still lives in San Juan, Puerto Rico full-time in a rented mansion with his girlfriend, Gabriela Berlingeri, Benito wastes no time expanding his list of properties.
A rented mansion in Puerto Rico
Before buying the Hollywood Hills mega-mansion, Benito lived exclusively in San Juanrenting a $3 million mansion with Gabriela Berlingeri.
However, due to the rapper’s insistence on keeping his private life as private as possible, there are few to no images online. He gave fans a preview with Instagram Live videos posted at the height of the pandemic.
Even still, confidentiality is Benito’s priority. It even became private instagram earlier this year, saying he is “to make a breakin 2023. His decision to step back from the spotlight for a bit may stem from an incident in early January involving an overeager fan.
A video showed Benito throwing a fan’s phone into nearby bushes when she ran towards him with her phone to take a selfie without his permission. The rapper tweeted about the incident shortly after, but quickly deleted it.
He wrote: “The person who comes to say hello to me, say something to me or just meet me will always receive my attention and respect. Anyone who comes and puts a fucking phone in my face, I’ll consider it for what it is, disrespect, and I’ll treat it as is.
Long story short, Benito wants to be able to go home and have everyone leave him alone.
A Japanese steakhouse in Miami
Although he does not directly own his home in Puerto Rico, he does own a Japanese steakhouse in miami called Gekkō, a Japanese word meaning “moonlight” in English. The restaurant opened in August last year and offers premium Wagyu beef as well as a selection of unique sushi rolls.
The menu looks pretty amazing, as does the decor. The restaurant itself is already becoming one of the trendiest spots in Miami’s Brickell neighborhood.
In an interview with Food and wine, the rapper explained why he chose Miami as the home of his first restaurant. “The culture reminds me of my home,” he said. “Miami is a city where I can relax. I love going out to eat, to see the ocean, it’s just a great city.
In a separate statement celebrating the restaurant’s opening, he said: “Sitting down with friends to enjoy a great meal is one of the times I enjoy the most. I am thrilled to now be able to participate in creating this experience for others.
The restaurant can only accommodate 185 people and focuses exclusively on its dinner menu, open at 6 p.m. six nights a week.
A newly purchased mansion in the Hollywood Hills
Here is the big kahuna. Bad Bunny’s new Hollywood Hills mansion is a sprawling estate. Overall, the property encompasses half an acre. Additionally, the main house and guest house, with their eight bedrooms and seven bathrooms, are approximately 7,000 square feet. Not to mention the absolutely stunning interior design choices.
The property also has a huge lawn outside, an infinity pool and a huge barbecue area. Benito bought the house from Ali Jassim, a philanthropist who loves Puerto Rico and even owns a house there.
The house was not on the market when Benito bought it, which is a good reflection of the house itself. Invisible to passers-by, the views from the house are unbeatable, which according to The kitchen, is quite rare in the Hollywood Hills. Of all the properties owned by Benito, this is by far the most important.
We can’t forget El Último Big Rig!
Bad Bunny recently toured in a large rig decorated with the name of his album, “El Ultimo Tour Del Mundo.” Benito recently rented the 53ft trailer on Airbnb for just three nights at $91 a night. However, guests were able to rent the truck for only one night each.
According to the official listing, the stay came with VIP tickets to his show in Miami, a tour of the rapper’s favorite Miami spots, and a photoshoot. Although Benito was unable to meet the fans in person, he left them a pre-recorded video message congratulating them on their stay.
Unfortunately, the three-night promotion was a one-time deal, but Benito may reopen bookings in the future. However, it may even offer a similar experience in connection with future albums or with other properties! The possibilities are limitless.
