The Weeknd Gets $19 Million for Selling L.A. Penthouse with Furnishings

R&B star Abel Tesfaye, better known as the Weeknd, has sold his Los Angeles penthouse for $19 million after more than 18 months on the market.

The Canadian singer-songwriter, 33, listed the condo—which takes up the entire 18th floor of the 22-story Beverly West in Westwood—in January 2022 for $22 million. The total consideration of last week’s sale included $18 million for the home and $1 million for the furniture, according to listing agent Angel Salvador of the Beverly Hills Estates. That means the Weeknd sold it at a loss of at least $2 million.

The singer-songwriter known as The Weeknd has sold his Los Angeles penthouse for $19 million.

He purchased the penthouse close to four years ago for $21 million.

The four-time Grammy Award-winner is known for his dark R&B style and songs such as “Wicked Games” and “Die For You.” He finished up the European leg of his tour last week, and will perform several dates in Latin American starting in late September.

Drs. David and Andrea Feinberg, the former president and CEO of the UCLA Health System and current chairman of Oracle Health, respectively, were the buyers, according to the Robb Report. Mansion Global could not independently confirm the identity of the buyers.

The 7,950-square-foot residence offers 360-degree views of the city and the Pacific Ocean, plus a great room running the length of the unit with balconies on each side and a wet bar, according to the listing.

The penthouse offers four bedrooms, including a primary suite with two vanities, steam shower and a soaking tub with views of the country club, listing photos show. There’s an additional space, currently used as a gym, attached to the primary bedroom.

Other amenities include a “state-of-the-art chef’s kitchen” and an “entertainment bar with a stunning TV wall” made from four 65-inch televisions, according to the listing. Salvador has “represented Abel on all of his real estate transactions in Los Angeles, both on the buying and selling side,” he said in an email.

That includes the 33,000-square-foot Bel Air mansion he bought for $70 million in August 2021, one of the biggest deals in the city that year, The Wall Street Journal reported. He also sold his 12,500-square-foot Hidden Hills home to Madonna in April 2021 for $19.3 million, according to the New York Post.
