Drake’s Fabulous YOLO Estate Is the Week’s Most Popular Home


This week, everyone wanted a peek inside a rapper’s delight: Drake‘s YOLO estate in Southern California. It racked up tens of thousands of clicks after it came on the market for $14.8 million, making it the week’s most popular home on Realtor.com®.

Designed for parties and good vibes, the seven-bedroom mansion in Hidden Hills is equipped with a wine cellar and tasting room, a 24-seat home theater, and a mechanical riding bull. Outside it features sport courts and a stable with an equestrian ring. But the true highlight is the swimming pool out back with a grotto and swim-up bar.

Also available are two adjacent properties owned by the rapper. For the entire 6.7-acre enchilada, a buyer must be willing to plunk down $22.2 million.

The rest of the week’s most popular homes were more modest. (Only one other home topped the million-dollar mark.) They include a six-bedroom home going up for auction in Ohio, an A-frame contemporary in Connecticut, and a hoarder home in Pennsylvania.
