Step Inside Lil Wayne’s Extravagant Mansion: A Sneak Peek at the Rapper’s Lavish Lifestyle!

Dwayne Michael Carter Jr.—better known professionally as Lil Wayne, paid $16.8 million for his freshly built Miami Beach mansion just about four years ago. The exclusive guard-gated property is located on Allison Island, which directly overlooks Biscayne Bay. The rapper, singer, songwriter, and record executive just placed the contemporary residence on the market at $29.5 million.

The significantly increased price is due to the upgraded amenities Lil Wayne implemented in the dwelling. There is a commercial-grade elevator, plush movie theater, wine cellar, and dedicated staff quarters with a butler’s kitchen. The property also features a dock and 110 feet of waterfront footage.

Throughout the house, large sliding doors open to bring the outside in. 

The extravagant home was built in 2017 by Miami developer Laurent Harari and designed by architect Ralph Choeff. Tucked away on a half-acre parcel, the home has architectural features such as a walkway crossing a reflecting pool at the front entrance.The seven-bedroom, 11-bath pad contains almost 10,300 square feet of living space, complete with 22 foot ceilings and just as tall windows.

One of the living spaces opens to a courtyard full of greenery, which is visible on the left. 

You’ll be greeted with a custom mahogany entryway that flows to an impressive great room, finished with an eye-catching fireplace and sliding doors that open to the backyard. The home also includes a dining room, which connects to a family room, an eat-in gourmet kitchen, high-end Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, and access to a courtyard full of greenery.

The back yard sits right on Biscayne Bay.

The floating staircase leads to the second floor, which holds the 2,500-square-foot main retreat. The room is equipped with a sitting area, expansive private terrace, a walk-in closet and dual bathrooms. The backyard takes you to a tropical-inspired oasis that hosts a large pool, an open-air cabana with its own kitchen and bath, as well as plenty of spots to lounge and soak up the Miami sun.
