Lil Wayne, whose real name is Dwayne Michael Carter Jr., has sold more than 120 million records over the course of a decades-long career that has seen him release 13 studio albums and win five Grammys. His hits include “A Milli,” “The Motto” and “Lollipop.” On the business side, he serves as chief executive of the record label he founded, Young Money Entertainment.
American rapper, singer, songwriter and record executive Lil Wayne is celebrating 40 years of life today, and apparently wants to shed some serious real estate because he just listed the Miami mansion he built in 2017.
Lil Wayne settled down in Hidden Hills last year, dropping $15.4 million on a modern farmhouse on three acres. Now the rapper is shopping around his home on the other side of the country, listing a Miami Beach mansion for $29.5 million.
The Hip Hop megastar is looking for a sizable come-up asking $29 million for the lavish 7 bedroom, 11 bathroom palace after originally paying $16.8 million. That being said, future buyers can’t say they won’t get their money’s worth.

His West Coast home has a bit more space, but the East Coast home offers a prime location. It spans half an acre on Allison Island, a 35-acre island filled with luxury homes on Biscayne Bay. To take advantage of the waterfront setting, there’s a tropical backyard with a swimming pool, cabana, private dock and 110 feet of water frontage.
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.
Tucked behind gates, the estate features an impressive entry with double doors at the end of a floating walkway over water. The exterior is wrapped in wood and glass, and the same design palette continues inside, where vast, minimalist spaces boast clean lines and 22-foot ceilings.
The 10,278-square-foot floor plan holds seven bedrooms and nine bathrooms, including a primary suite with a private terrace. For amenities, there’s a movie theater, wine cellar, elevator and outdoor patio surrounded by garden walls.
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.
Wayne’s living in the California Hidden Hills these days after moving close to Kylie Jenner last year. He just celebrated his 40th birthday in L.A. with plenty of famous pals.
The Miami property was listed by Cyril Matz of Douglas Elliman.
“With a very limited supply in the ultra-luxury market and a high demand for new homes on Miami Beach, 6480 Allison Road checks all the boxes for today’s discerning buyers looking for the ultimate waterfront property,” Matz told Robb Report via email
