Madonna buys The Weeknd’s lavish Californian house for $25.3 million
Global icon Madonna has just splashed out a whopping $25 million for fellow music star The Weeknd’s LA house — which comes with tonnes of cool features including a trippy disco garage.
Madonna has shelled out a whopping $25.3 million (US$19.3m) for The Weeknd’s sprawling California estate.
The “Blinding Lights” singer first listed the Hidden Hills home last June for $32.8 million — before the property got a $7.9 million price cut.

One of the biggest selling points of the house to revheads and party fanatics is the five-car garage, which is decked out like a disco with LED lighting strips embedded into the high-gloss floor.
The outdoor living space features a heated dining terrace, a zero-edge swimming pool, spa and a pool house.
The huge property itself, which boasts seven bedrooms and 9.5 bathrooms, sits on nearly three acres of grassy lawns and hillsides and is surrounded by a thicket of trees for ultimate privacy.
