2 Chainz, aka Tauheed Epps, is noted for his refined taste. The Georgia native’s Viceland TV series, “Most Expensivist,” followed his nationwide search for expensive (and interesting) items. He found a $11,000 motorized surfboard, a $100,000 martini with diamond-infused vodka, and gold-coated popcorn for $125 to $150 per gram.
Thus, the singer’s lavish living quarters are unsurprising. The burgeoning real estate investor paid $517,000 for a foreclosed Mediterranean-style mansion on 22 acres in Palmetto, Ga., a decade ago and renovated it, and in 2016 he paid Grammy-winning rock guitarist Steve Vai almost $2.5 mιllιon for ritzy digs in Beachwood Canyon, Los Angeles.
2 Chainz just spent $3.8 mιllιon for a larger home in the same location as the Vai residence. The luxurious property, which Eva Longoria bought in 2006 for $3.6 mιllιon and sold 12 years later for $436,000, is a mix of contemporary and Mediterranean designs.
