In April 2021, Madonna bought a nine-bedroom home in Hidden Hills from fellow musician The Weekend, for US$19.3 million..Now, 52 weekends later, Madonna has put the home back on the market for US$25.995 million. .Hidden Hills is a guard-gated suburban enclave about 65 km west of downtown Los Angeles, and home to an eclectic collection of big-name superstars from the music, movie, sports and reality TV worlds..

If Madonna gets her asking price, she’s looking at a whopping US$6.7 million jump from the price she paid..Not that money is a problem for Madge..Now 63, she is still tearing it up harder than neophyte pop stars a third of her age. She has sat atop the showbiz heap for more than four decades, selling more than 300 million records, hauling in seven Grammys (and another 21 nominations), and amassed a fortune that by some estimates exceeds three-quarters of a billion dollars..And she’s unlikely to miss her Hidden Hills home because she has a few others around the globe, from a 12,000-sq.-ft. triple-wide townhouse on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, to a 50-plus acre horse farm in the Hamptons, to an 18th-century Moorish Revival mansion about 20 miles outside of Lisbon, Portugal..The real estate market has cooled a bit in the LA area, like in other parts of the country, largely because interest rates have soared recently. That may not have an impact on this sale, because whoever can afford the house probably doesn’t care whether the interest rate is 3% or 5%..Trevor Wright of The Beverly Hills Estates has the listing..Thomas is a Western Standard contributor
