Rihanna is
moving up in the world—specifically, about 13 floors.
A trust tied
to the pop star and entrepreneur, 35, plunked down $21 million for a
40th-floor penthouse at The Century, one of Los Angeles’s most exclusive condo
buildings, according to records from CoreLogic. Meanwhile, the “Umbrella” and
“Lift Me Up” singer already owns a unit on the 27th floor of the building,
records show.
The deal for the
full-floor, 9,290-square-foot apartment closed the last day of March, records
show. The buyer was listed as a trust with the mailing address to Evan Jehle, a
partner at the New York-based business management company FFO and a member of
the Global Advisory Board of Rihanna’s Clara Lionel Foundation. Mr. Jehle has
also handled several other property transactions for the musician, including
two side-by-side properties in Beverly Hills. Representatives for his company
did not immediately return a request for comment.

Trust, linked to billionaire Nick Molnar, co-founder of tech company Afterpay,
was the seller, records show. He originally listed the property in the fall for
$28 million with James Harris and David Parnes of Bond Street Partners at The
Agency. They declined to comment for this article.
Mr. Molnar, in
turn, bought the penthouse from “Friends” star Matthew Perry for $21.6
million in June 2021, Mansion Global reported at the time. The actor
brought in interior designer LM Pagano to reimagine the interiors, and the
seller did not appear to make any changes to the home, according to Dirt, which first reported Rihanna’s purchase.
Designed by Robert
A.M. Stern Architects, The Century is home to a number of bold-face names,
including Candy Spelling, who owns the floor above Rihanna’s new penthouse,

dual bathrooms and dressing rooms—and four terraces that offer panoramic views
all the way to the ocean, the listing said.

founder of the popular Fenty cosmetics line—bought her 27th floor apartment in
2014 for $5.45 million, records with PropertyShark show. She is now the world’s
richest female musician, with a $1.4 billion net worth, according to Forbes.
