Kim Kardashian is not planning to leave her Hidden Hills property.
In an Instagram Story on Monday, July 29, the 43-year-old was heard informing her sister Khloé that she was “moving” and only had a dress or exercise clothes to wear.
However, a source confirms that the SKIMS founder is not selling her house but is temporarily vacating it until an additional room is created. The source affirms that the chamber is not a subterranean vault.
Kardashian’s neighbors’ plea to stop her from building the underground vault, subterranean parking, an adjacent subterranean “wellness center” and a separate guardhouse was refused in the autumn of 2021.
In June, Kardashian said that she “can’t ever imagine moving” from her Hidden Hills property.
“The best memories I have growing up are in our family home, and I always want to create those memories and a safe space for my kids,” Kim Kardashian said. “We’ve created such beautiful memories here already.”
Kardashian and her ex-husband Kanye West bought the attention-grabbing mansion for a whopping $20 million in 2014. West, 47, and Belgian architect Axel Vervoordt subsequently embarked on a three-year makeover of the home, transforming its architecture into an austere, almost church-like edifice.
The family ultimately moved into the home in December 2017, and Kris Jenner tweeted in 2018 that it was now worth $60 million.
In 2017, the former couple sold their prior home, a Bel Air estate that they had refurbished for many years but never lived in, for $18 million.
Kardashian and West kept the inside of their Hidden Hills house quiet for a while until West shared images of it in 2018.
The home’s design is intended to imitate a “futuristic Belgian monastery,” West told Architectural Digest in a March 2020 cover story, with a virtually all-white palette, plaster walls, sparse furniture, and towering arched ceilings.
Despite its seeming impersonal size, the couple told AD that it was specifically intended for their four children: North, 11, Saint, 8, Chicago, 6, and Psalm, 5.
“The kids ride their scooters down the hallways and jump around on top of the low Axel tables, which they use as a kind of stage,” West told me. “This house may be a case study, but our vision for it was built around our family.”
Kardashian filed for divorce from West in February 2021. She stayed at home with the kids after the breakup.
In a June interview, Kardashian said that her house is her “sanctuary.”
“When designing it, I wanted to create a calming place to come home to after a busy day of work,” she told me. “The minimalist design keeps things clean and uncluttered, which allows me to truly decompress and get away from the chaos.”
“It’s like hitting the pause button,” she said. “When everything is so zen, I can really recharge and let my creativity flow.”
