Editor’s note — 5 November 2026: This article has been fully rewritten using only verifiable facts from reputable reporting. Earlier claims that could not be verified — including an outdated net worth figure, a wrong purchase year for the Toronto mansion, a stale asking price for the Beverly Hills home and several invented interior details — have been removed or corrected.
Aubrey Drake Graham — known to the world simply as Drake — is one of the most successful recording artists of all time, and his homes are among the most talked-about in celebrity real estate. His main residence is “The Embassy”, a roughly 50,000-square-foot mansion he built from scratch in Toronto’s Bridle Path neighbourhood, while his biggest purchase is a 20-acre Tuscan-style estate in the hills above Beverly Hills, bought for $75 million (around £56 million) in 2022 and still on the market. This is what is actually known — and verified — about Drake’s houses.

The Embassy: Drake’s Toronto Mansion
Drake’s main home is a custom-built mansion in the Bridle Path, Toronto’s most exclusive neighbourhood — a private, gated area of large estates often called “Millionaires’ Row”. The house, at 21 Park Lane Circle, is nicknamed “The Embassy”. Drake bought the land in 2015 for a reported $6.7 million (around £5 million) and, working with Canadian designer and architect Ferris Rafauli, spent around six years building a new home on the plot. Construction began in 2016 and the house was completed in 2019–2020; Drake opened its doors to Architectural Digest for a cover feature in April 2020.
The mansion is roughly 50,000 square feet (some reports put the main living space at around 35,000 square feet), set on about two acres. Rafauli designed it as a 19th-century limestone mansion in the Beaux-Arts style, with modern Art Deco interiors — limestone, bronze, exotic woods and Nero Marquina marble throughout. The great room alone has 44-foot ceilings. Reported features include an NBA-regulation basketball court with a 21-foot pyramidal skylight, a recording studio, an indoor swimming pool, a 3,200-square-foot master suite, a two-storey closet and a 4,000-pound black marble bathtub. The great room holds a one-of-a-kind Bösendorfer concert grand piano designed by artist Takashi Murakami with Rafauli, and a chandelier made from 20,000 pieces of Swarovski crystal. Rafauli has said the house was built to last 100 years. The build is widely reported to have cost close to $100 million (around £75 million).
The Beverly Hills Estate: $75 Million (2022)
Drake’s biggest single purchase is a Tuscan-style estate at 9904 Kip Drive in Beverly Crest, in the hills above Beverly Hills — technically in the city of Los Angeles, in the Beverly Hills Post Office area just above the 90210 zip code. He bought it in March 2022 for $75 million (around £56 million) from British singer Robbie Williams, who had bought the property in 2015 for $32.7 million and had been asking $85 million. The deal was financed in part with a $52.5 million mortgage from Bank of America, according to The Real Deal.
The estate sits on around 20 acres and the main house covers roughly 24,000 square feet, with 10 bedrooms and 22 bathrooms across three storeys. Built in 2001 for Guess co-founder Armand Marciano, the house mixes Mediterranean and old-world character with modern touches: marble floors, custom woodwork, a double-height foyer, a wine cellar, a gym, a game room, a movie theatre, an 11-car garage and a motor court, a gourmet kitchen with dual islands, and a pool house with an indoor/outdoor kitchen. Outside there is a mosaic-tiled swimming pool, a tennis court and an orchard, with views across the canyons, the Los Angeles skyline and the Pacific Ocean.
Drake has been trying to sell the house almost since he bought it. He listed it in May 2023 for $88 million — $13 million more than he paid — then offered it for rent at $250,000 a month in January 2025, and relisted it for sale at $79 million (around £59 million) in June 2025. As of late 2026 it remains unsold, nearly four years after the purchase.
Other Homes in Drake’s Property Portfolio
Hidden Hills: The YOLO Estate (Sold 2022)
Drake’s former Los Angeles base was the “YOLO Estate” in Hidden Hills, California — named after his catchphrase “you only live once”. He bought the 12,500-square-foot Tudor-style main house on three acres in 2012 for $7.7 million (around £5.8 million), then expanded the compound by buying two neighbouring properties: a ranch for $2.85 million in 2015 and another for $4.5 million in 2018, creating a roughly 6.7-acre estate. The main house had six bedrooms and 10 bathrooms, a 25-seat theatre, a game room, a massage room, a wine cellar, a lagoon-style pool, horse stables and a basketball court. Drake sold the whole compound in 2022: NFL quarterback Matthew Stafford paid $11 million for the two neighbouring parcels, and the main house sold for $12 million (around £9 million) — $23 million in total.
Texas: The Inn at Dos Brisas Ranch
In October 2023, Drake reportedly bought a 313-acre ranch in Washington, Texas — about 45 minutes outside Houston — for $15 million (around £11 million). The property, formerly the Inn at Dos Brisas, was a Relais & Châteaux resort with a Forbes five-star restaurant, built in 2002 and closed in 2022. It had originally been listed for $17.5 million. The spread includes a 14,300-square-foot Mediterranean-style main house, five haciendas, four casitas, equestrian facilities, an organic farm, a tennis court, three ponds and a 7,000-bottle wine cellar. Robb Report first linked the purchase to Drake through property records; the listing agent confirmed the sale without naming the buyer.

What is Drake’s net worth?
Published estimates vary widely. Celebrity Net Worth puts it at around $400 million in 2026; older figures of around $250 million are now out of date. Forbes does not publish a Drake net-worth total — its $78 million figure for 2025 is his estimated earnings that year, not his fortune.
Conclusion
From a custom-built palace in Toronto to a $75 million estate in the Beverly Hills hills and a 313-acre Texas ranch, Drake’s homes tell the story of a Toronto kid who became one of music’s biggest earners — and who buys property the way he makes records: big, private and built to last. The Embassy, designed to stand for a century, is the centrepiece; the Beverly Hills estate, still unsold after nearly four years and two price cuts, is a reminder that even superstar homes do not always sell. What is certain is the scale of the portfolio — and that Toronto, not Los Angeles, is where Drake calls home.
