In 2022, Drake secured his position as the leading male artist, surpassing global icons like The Weeknd, Taylor Swift, and Kanye West. Despite facing fierce competition, he claimed the title of the year’s most popular artist. However, following the release of his highly anticipated album “For All The Dogs,” the rapper made a sudden announcement, revealing his decision to temporarily halt his musical activities due to health concerns.
The rapper’s opulent lifestyle extends to his Toronto residence, located in the upscale Bridle Path neighborhood. Purchased for $6.7 million in 2016, Drake transformed the property into a lavish $100 million mansion, elegantly designed by renowned Canadian designer Ferris Rafauli.
Spread across an expansive 4,645 square meters, the Toronto residence is a masterpiece, featuring a radiant basketball court and a remarkable 2-square meter pyramid skylight, showcasing the opulent facet of Drake’s personality.
The interiors of the Manor House are a testament to luxury, with a roaring fireplace, lofty ceilings adorned with sizable chandeliers, and rooms that boast grand pianos. Drake showcased his substantial kitchen, complete with a sophisticated marble island and rows of navy blue seats for casual dining.
The great room is illuminated by Lobmeyr’s classic Metropolitan chandelier, adorned with 20,000 hand-cut Swarovski crystals, making it the world’s second-largest installation of its kind.
Drake’s approximately 300-square-foot bedroom, featuring a 102-square-foot covered patio, is a cherished space. The master suite, double the size of a conventional apartment, includes two covered terraces, a tub, a dressing room, a kitchenette, and a steam shower, among other amenities.
The mansion also boasts an NBA regulation-size basketball court, branded with Drake’s OVO logo, fitting for the Toronto Raptors global ambassador. Other features include a world-class recording studio, a kitchen furnished with La Cornue products, an awards room chronicling Drake’s journey, and an indoor swimming pool finished in gleaming black granite.
