Real Estate

From roughly 2015 to 2017, Hit-Boy was renting a home in Beverly Hills, California. At the time, the home was listed for $14,000 per month to rent. In a 2022 interview, Hit-Boy recalled how after making "dumb money" in 2012, by 2017, he was basically broke, living in this rented mansion, with no friends and no one at his management company (Roc Nation) returning his calls. Thankfully, he turned his career around, and in a 2023 Instagram post, he revealed he had actually gone back and PURCHASED that very same Beverly Hills home he was previously renting. Real estate records show he bought the 2,700-square-foot home, which sits on 1.5 acres, in September 2023 for $4.715 million.
