Pregnant Rihanna ensured her family has plenty of room to grow by purchasing the 40th-floor penthouse in the same building, where she already owns a three-bedroom, 3,500-square-foot home. Ahead of the 
birth of her second child
, the expectant singer, 35, bought a sprawling condo, previously owned by Matthew Perry, that ‘is more than double the size of her previous one, spanning a whopping 9,290 square feet with four bedrooms and six-and-a-half baths,’ according to Architectural Digest.

Despite its steep listing price of $28 million, she was able to negotiate it down to $21 million, which is $600,000 less than the owner, Afterpay co-founder Nick Molnar, paid the Friends star, 53, for it back in 2021.

The performer will reside there with her baby boy, whose name she has not publicly revealed yet, and her rapper boyfriend A$AP Rocky, who she began dating after nearly a decade of friendship.

A year later, he lowered the price of the lush pad, adjacent to ritzy Beverly Hills, by $8 million to $27 million, before finally offloading it for $21.6 million to Afterpay co-founder Nick Molnar.

According to the Los Angeles Times, it was ‘Southern California’s priciest condo sale since 2015.’

The outlet also pointed out that Perry spent nearly as much time selling the home as he spent living there.

The Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing author bought the penthouse for $20 million in 2017.

The condo is equipped with four bedrooms, eight bathrooms and four terraces with outstanding views of Los Angeles and its surroundings, from the DTLA skyline all the way to the Pacific Ocean.

Built in 2010, the Century is a celebrity-friendly gated building featuring round-the-clock concierge services along with top-tier security.

Other features include a giant pool replete with cabanas, a state-of-the-art fitness area, movie theater, private wine storage and many more amenities.

At least two of the bedrooms face endless 360-degree-view windows looking out onto the City of Angels, while the kitchen offers a hefty bar area with room for at least five people.

While Rihanna may be one of the biggest stars in the world now, but it took a lot for her to get there.

The top-charting artist didn’t have the easiest childhood – growing up with an abusive father who left the family at 14, forcing her to care of her siblings while her mom worked to keep the family afloat.

Born Robyn Rihanna Fenty on February 20, 1988, Rihanna was the daughter of an accountant named Monica and a warehouse supervisor named Ronald.

She grew up in a three-bedroom house in Saint Michael, Barbados, with her two brothers, two half-sisters, and a half-brother. As a child, she helped her dad sell clothes in a stall on the street.

She later said that her father physically abused her mother and that he suffered from alcoholism and crack cocaine addiction.

‘I hated him. Then, one of my school friends, who I was very close to, she knew, and she always used to say, “You can’t hate your father,”‘ Rihanna later recalled to the Guardian, adding that he was the one who taught her how to swim, ride a bike, and the other milestones as a kid.

‘You have to love him, at the end of the day, because he’s your father. So I listened, as much as it took out of me.’

She also said on Oprah, ‘He taught me everything. As awful as he was to my mom at times, it didn’t compare to how great he was as a father.’
