Kim Kardashian Kanye West

In 2018, the world's highest-paid hip-hop artist Kanye West hosted a star-studded listening party on a ranch in Wyoming for the release of his eighth studio album. On Christmas Day in 2019, West dropped his tenth studio album— and while he apparently didn't host a listening party in Wyoming this time around, he does now own two ranches in the state.

In September, West splashed out on a $14 million ranch in Wyoming. The ranch reportedly spans 1,400 acres of land about 75 miles east of Yellowstone National Park. In November, West added yet another ranch in Cody, Wyoming, for $14.495 million. The ranch spans 6,713 acres and boasts amenities like heated helicopter pads.

Even though no one else is buying multimillion-dollar ranches, West seems to be eagerly adding them to his real-estate portfolio.

A representative for West didn't immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider.

Wyoming isn't the pair's only vacation destination. In 2018, West scooped up a $14 million condo in the luxurious Faena House on Miami Beach as a Christmas present for his wife.

West has also voiced his interest in becoming a developer. Earlier this summer, he attempted to create an affordable housing development on 300 acres of his land in Calabasas.

He built "Star Wars"-inspired domes but didn't have the necessary permits. As a result, the city of Los Angeles asked him to secure the permits or tear down the structures. West maintained that they were temporary prototypes but agreed to tear them down.

"I'm going to be one of the biggest real estate developers of all time, like what Howard Hughes is to aircraft and what Henry Ford was to cars," West told Charlamagne Tha God in a 2018 radio interview. "Anybody who's been to any of my cribs knows that I'm super into developing homes."

West and Kardashian West also own plenty of residential land for personal use in Southern California. The pair bought a home in Hidden Hills for $20 million in 2014. They then spent four years and another $20 million renovating it — it's worth $60 million now, according to Kardashian West's mom, Kris Jenner.

Right after West's ninth studio album dropped at the end of October, Variety reported that the couple expanded their Hidden Hills compound by purchasing a nearly $3 million ranch-style home on 1.49 acres.

TMZ reported that, per their sources, the Kardashian-Wests "plan to transform their combined properties into guest homes, a spa retreat, and essentially ... a private farm for the kids."

The couple previously lived in a 9,000-square-foot Bel Air mansion bought in 2013 for $11 million. They sold the home in 2017 for $17.8 million to Ukrainian billionaire Marina Acton. She later sold the house for $14 million in 2018.

The condo was sold in 2018 and went back on the market for $4.3 million earlier this year. In October, $400,000 was chopped off its asking price.
