Even though Katy Perry is contemplating a departure from “American Idol,” she remаins a “California Girl”; she recently signed a contract for a Sierra Towers residence valued at $11 million.
According to public records, the 38-year-old pop star purchased a “junior penthouse” at the Hollywood Hills skyscraper last week using a limited liability company whose Encino, California address is shared with another LLC of which she is the director. At the same address, her eponymous shoe collection is registered.
The residence was sold to Jen Kao, the progeny of Garmin founder and billionaire Min Kao, as per property records. The property was acquired by her for $9.3 million in 2016.
The condominium is approximately 3,000 square feet in size and features two bedrooms and three restrooms, per the listing with the agency. The property was initially advertised for just under $12.5 million in January, according to the listing.
Photos of the listing indicate that the condominium, situated on the 31st floor, features dark wood flooring and wood accents throughout. This includes built-in shelving, a wet bar with a timber frame, and kitchen cabinetry made of wood.
The main area features a semi-open layout, wherein the dining room is positioned adjacent to the kitchen and living room. The latter is distinguished by its floor-to-ceiling windows, which provide access to a terrace that offers distant views of the city and mountains. Moreover, a dark red home theater is present.
The Daily Mail was the first to report that Perry, who is currently residing in Las Vegas, has recently been in the news for allegedly considering ending her six-year tenure on “American Idol.”
Her experience in the real estate industry is not new. According to Mansion Global, she sold her Beverly Hills residence for $18 million last summer. It is among several high-priced items that the musical star has sold.
