Dwayne Michael Carter Jr., better known as Lil Wayne, paid $16.8 mιllιon for this newly built spec mansion on Miami Beach’s exclusive guard-gated Allison Island overlooking Biscayne Bay just shy of four years ago. According to The Wall Street Journal, the 40-year-old “Lollipop” rapper is selling the contemporary home for $29.5 mιllιon.
A commercial elevator, opulent cinema theater with suede walls, wine cellar, and dedicated staff quarters with a butler’s kitchen are included in the higher price. The dock and waterfront stretch 110 feet.
A handcrafted mahogany foyer leads to a spacious great room with a 22-foot ceiling, lacquered fireplace, and sliding glass doors to the rear. An eat-in gourmet kitchen with custom Italian cabinets, Wolf and Sub-Zero equipment, and a courtyard sits next to a dining room and family room.
A sculptural floating staircase leads upstairs to the 2,500-square-foot master bedroom, which has a sitting area, a private balcony, a walk-in closet, and two luxurious bathrooms. The tropical-inspired grounds have a huge pool, an open-air cabana with a kitchen and bath, and plenty of outdoor sitting and entertaining spaces. Cyril Matz of Douglas Elliman lists Miami. Lil Wayne has moved into his $15.4 mιllιon Hidden Hills house.
