00:06actor and entrepreneur.
00:08One of the most prominent personalities of his generation.
00:12Drake also doubles up as an executive producer.
00:15He is so popular that half of his millions of fans across the world actually think he
00:20is American because rap music is more identified as an American thing.
00:25Together with the likes of Justin Bieber, Drake is credited with the so-called Canadian
00:30invasion of the American music industry.
00:34The 33-year-old rapper actually inherited his fine talent from his father, Dennis Graham,
00:39who was a drummer and backup singer for rock and roll star Jerry Lee Lewis.
00:44The God's Plan hitmaker has harnessed his popularity into some real stash of cash.
00:50His attractive music videos have also seen this star accumulate a huge number of social
00:55media following.
00:57He has 21 million YouTube subscribers, 66.7 million followers on Instagram and 39.1 million
01:04followers on Twitter.
01:06His popularity is sky high.
01:09Hundreds of amazing facts about Drake can be listed, but today we are going to talk
01:13about his state-of-the-art mega mansion back in his hometown of Toronto.
01:18A huge fan of basketball, the passionate artist owns a $100 million home, which together
01:24with AirDrake, the biggest private jet owned by any creative artist in the world, makes
01:30him stand out as one of the best in the game.
01:34Having literally started from the bottom, Fantastic Drake has amassed a net worth of
01:38approximately $150 million as of 2019.
01:42Part of his money was carefully invested into his mansion, designed by top Canadian architect
01:48Ferris Ruffali.
01:50The masterpiece is adorable.
01:52Unlike many celebrities who buy ready-made homes and later customize them according to
01:57their needs, Champagne Papi, as he is known, constructed this mega mansion from the ground.
02:03Drake bought the 500 square feet property back in 2016 for a cool $6.7 million.
02:11The manor house had to acquire a special permit from the City Council of Toronto before construction
02:16commenced.
02:17And as expected, the proud son of Toronto was granted the permission in a highly publicized
02:22setting.
02:23The craftsmanship behind the mansion left DJ Khaled totally impressed.
02:28He even asked Drake to build his next estate.
02:31Located in the neighborhood of North York, Toronto, the mansion is one of Drake's greatest
02:36achievements.
02:37In his own words, he said,
02:39"'Because I was building it in my hometown, I wanted a structure that would stand firm
02:43for 100 years."
02:45With all his five albums having gone platinum, alongside 28 billion streams on Spotify, Drake
02:51stands exactly where he deserves to be.
02:54Initially living in Los Angeles, now the multiple award-winning superstar resides next to fellow
02:59stars like Celine Dion.
03:02Having been mentored by rap legend Lil Wayne, the former member of Young Money, is reported
03:07to have spent in excess of $1 million just to grow trees to cover his property.
03:13The privacy surrounding his palatial home is really high, but we got a glimpse of what
03:17it really entails.
03:20Not everybody who drops out of school to pursue their interests ends with seven-figure paychecks.
03:24Drake, however, is an exception.
03:27He dropped out of school to follow up on his acting career, before formally joining the
03:32rap game.
03:33The mansion features a special awards room just to display his success anytime he walks
03:38by the hallway.
03:40Having a record 27 Billboard Awards to his name, he thought it would be wise to have
03:44a room dedicated to the fruits of his hard labor.
03:47These are just part of the total 175 awards he has won.
03:51Astonishing, right?
03:52He has received 639 nominations so far in his career.
03:57Crazy numbers, I must admit.
03:59The awards room in his Toronto mansion also has his four Grammy Awards, 13 BET Awards,
04:05and many others.
04:06A global ambassador for the hometown basketball team, the Toronto Raptors, Drake has manifested
04:12his love for the game right inside his luxurious home.
04:16The house is fitted with a standard NBA basketball court, custom-made in his own record label
04:23OVO, with 21 square feet high pyramid lights hanging against the marble walls.
04:29The basketball court is named the Sanctuary, which probably means something to the hotline
04:34bling icon.
04:36His love for sports doesn't stop on the court.
04:39Taking a walk along his extremely spacious hallway, you will notice a glass wall displaying
04:44jerseys belonging to some of the best men ever to grace the basketball court.
04:49Notable names include that of the late Kobe Bryant, may he rest in peace, that of the
04:54legendary LeBron James, and also of controversial Dennis Rodman.
04:59The walls of this mega mansion are so tall that Drizzy cunningly managed to erect a two-story
05:04closet in it.
05:06His expensive shoes, coming in all brands and prices, can be seen hanging like the stars
05:11of mid-December.
05:12A number of jerseys are visible too.
05:14Either they are his own, or maybe they are souvenirs.
05:17Who knows?
05:18The mansion comes with a stylish lounge, just in case guests want to have some fun.
05:23Bottles of Drizzy's own whiskey brand, Virginia Black, decorate the shelves in visual impressive
05:28manner.
05:29The lounge has a fireplace, so if the breeze is in excess, it can always provide the much
05:34needed warmth.
05:36Since Air Drake, the $185 million private Boeing jet owned by this superstar, cannot
05:42fit into his compound, a 10-car garage is up and running with the premises.
05:48Drake, a man of taste, had his garage specifically designed for his most luxurious cars.
05:54It also has a spacious driveway to minimize chances of having insurance firms paying up
05:59for silly accidents.
06:00One of the most mystifying features about this Canadian megastructure is its singing,
06:05or rather musical, washroom.
06:07Money does it all, folks.
06:09How crazy is that?
06:10The automated toilet instinctively drops a song any time it is used.
06:16Drake recently said that when he steps into that one-of-a-kind washroom, it starts playing
06:20Tupac Shakur songs.
06:22That's so weird and beautiful at the same time.
06:25Another admirable feature in this $100 million home is its Olympic-sized swimming pool.
06:30The indoor pool is so majestic and mostly used when Mr. Drake is in the mood for a pool
06:36party.
06:37As expected of any music artist who has scaled to heights like those of Drake, the house
06:42harbors a state-of-the-art music recording studio.
06:46It is of interest to note that apart from releasing chart-topping hits, Drake is an
06:50excellent songwriter.
06:52Creativity needed to come up with hit songs requires some peace and tranquility.
06:56And this is what this studio offers.
06:59Among the artists who have benefited from his songwriting skills include Alicia Keys,
07:02Jamie Foxx, and Rita Ora.
07:06A piano room, a wine room, a massage room, a movie theater are other amenities in this
07:11multi-million dollar property.
07:14Another thing that particularly stands out is the black marble hot tub.
07:18The tub is so delicate that it took the architect hours to figure out how it would be lifted
07:23to the top floor without getting damaged.
07:26They had to use hydraulic lifts to move the £4,000 jewel safety to where it was supposed
07:30to be.
07:31A fully furnished gym with modern equipment is part of the mansion.
07:35The weights and the treadmills are carefully and neatly arranged so that he can have an
07:39efficient workout.
07:41Expensive stones such as limestone and marble and other materials like bronze and exotic
07:46woods dominate the structural composition of the mansion.
07:50The master bedroom covers an extensive space of 3,200 square feet.
07:55Inside this spacious bedroom stands Drake's Hastings Bed, which has a market value of
08:00an astronomical $400,000.
08:03If you're the best in the game, the best in your city, and broke Michael Jackson's nomination
08:08record, then you can afford to spend your nights in a bed fit for a king.
08:13In his latest video, Tuesday Slide, which currently has 94 million views on YouTube
08:18in just over a month, he gives us a glimpse of the inside of this architectural masterpiece.
08:23In an interview, Drake was quoted saying,
08:25The bedroom is where I come to decompress from the world at the end of the night, and
08:30where I open my eyes to seize the day.
08:32That statement shows the attachment he's got with his bedroom.
08:35Ferris Rafali has definitely left his mark in the celebrity world with this kind of architectural
08:40craftsmanship.
08:42The likes of DJ Khaled have already promised to work with him.
08:45The extravagance and opulence manifested in this mansion is directly proportional to Drake's
08:50willingness to spend his millions.
08:52They usually say, never spend your money before you've earned it.
08:55Well Drake has worked hard and earned all his millions.
08:58That's why he can afford to live a life most people can't.
09:01So there you have it, Drake's $100 million mansion.
09:05What would you do if you lived in a mansion like this one?
