JANELLE MONAE – $3.9 MILLION, HOLLYWOOD HILLS

Janelle Monae is a Grammy-nominated American singer, rapper, and songwriter. Janelle’s music career started in 2003 with the release of her demo album, Audition. However, it was not until 2011 that she gained a wider audience after being featured in the band Fun’s song titled We Are Young. In 2016, Janelle broke into the film industry with her role as NASA aerospace engineer in the movie Hidden Figures.

Given Janelle’s massive success in the business, it doesn’t come off as a surprise that she spends a considerable amount of her paycheck on stylish investments, such as her newly purchased $3.9 million home in Hollywood Hills. The property features 3,403 square feet of living space divided into two houses but connected by a common breezeway. The property is a mid-century home built in the ’50s and was later transformed into an urban tropical mansion. It also features two bedrooms in the main house, an open floor plan, and floor to ceiling windows giving it a light and airy touch.
