But what wasn’t known at the time was that the 39-year-old adopted daughter of Lionel Richie had already closed on a bigger mansion worth $14 million (US$10.15m) The Post reports.
Richie’s new 567 sqm home was built in 1987 but recently redesigned by SIMO Design co-founders Sam Gnatovich and Alexi Rennalls as their primary residence.
The five-bedroom, six-bedroom home is inspired by historical Parisian buildings and the flagship Chanel store in Paris, they told Architectural Digest last year, explaining they would sell the house because it was too big for them.
The designers achieved the look with massive pocket doors and clean lines, combined with traditional crown moulding.
Inside, a curving stairway contrasts the home’s exterior boxlike structure, photos show.
