Post Malone, formally Austin Richard Post, is a popular American singer, songwriter, and music producer. First receiving recognition for his hit single “White Iverson” in 2015, he is now well-known throughout the world for his unrepeatable voice and lyricism. He is now signed with Republic Records and has a total of four albums.
Post Malone’s primary residence is in Cottonwoods Heights, Utah, although he frequently travels to rented homes in Los Angeles, California. His home in northern Utah was purchased for around $3 million and is quite secluded, just the way Post Malone likes it.
Post Malone is considered to be one of the most popular artists in the world, with fans noticing his every move. However, the famous pop artist was never completely ready for the fame that came with getting noticed everywhere. Post Malone is said to be more of a “lowkey” artist and does not like having his whole life on social media.
With his high net worth of around $25 million, he could’ve easily moved to Los Angeles like most popular artists in today’s entertainment industry. However, it seems like he could not stay away from his beloved state of Utah, and thus, decided to call it permanently home.
“White Iverson” and Incredible Beginnings With Fame
Post Malone started writing his own songs when he was only 16 years old. He claims that he thought the mixtapes recorded were good, and his family and friends thoughts so too, when in retrospect they weren’t that great. Post Malone enjoyed producing music and writing lyrics, so he continued all throughout his teenage years.
The artist went to school to continue his education but realized that college really wasn’t for him. Post Malone, originally from Texas, wanted to continue making music but understood that in his small town there weren’t many ways to show off his music. He quickly came to the realization that he wasn’t going to get anywhere in Texas, and made the decision to move to Los Angeles at 18 years old.
His song “White Iverson” is considered to be the hit that jump-started Post’s career in the music industry. It was quickly gaining traction and after being uploaded to the music streaming platform, Soundcloud, the song caught the attention of popular artists Wiz Khalifa and Mac Miller. The music video now has over 870 million views on YouTube.
After a month of being released, the single had over one million streams. This made record labels take the artist seriously, and he ended up getting signed with an agent in August of 2015, only a month after the music video was released.
The artist was fitting into the Hollywood scene perfectly, and meeting celebrities like Kanye West, Justin Bieber, 50 Cent and even performing at Kylie Jenner’s birthday party. The artist had become well-liked by Hollywood’s biggest stars.
Post Malone was originally thought to be a “one-hit wonder”, but clearly he has proven his critics otherwise. From not being able to scrape together enough money to buy a pack of cigarettes to now, touring around the world, Post Malone is one of the biggest pop stars in the world.
Post Malone’s Rentals in California
Because of Los Angeles’ reputation of being the center of the entertainment industry, Post Malone knew he had to live in the city of angels for at least part of the year. The artist never bought a house in California, although he has had quite a few rentals.
The artist rented a stunning home in San Fernando Valley, California from December 2017 to July 2018 for $12,000 per month. The home featured 5 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms and was estimated to be worth around $2.5 million.
The home gained a lot of attention in the media because it was burglarized, with around $20,000 cash being stolen along with phones and jewelry. The incident occurred after Post Malone moved out, and unfortunately for the new residents, the burglars thought he still lived there.
Post Malone’s second rented property was in Beverly Hills, California. The beautiful home featured 11,200 square feet of space, six bedrooms, seven bathrooms, and has been listed for a whopping $26 million.
The Beloved Utah Residence
Post Malone is a proud resident of Utah. He mentions the state in song lyrics, frequently flashes his Utah driver’s license in commercials, and mentions his love for Utah in interviews. It is no secret that the artist is proud to call Utah home.
His $3 million Utah residence sits on 6.75 acres of land, overlooking the Salt Lake City skyline with gorgeous mountain and canyon views. The residence is tucked away, providing Post Malone with the privacy he needs. TMZ has called the residence a perfect “apocalypse house” with how secluded it is.
The home features five bedrooms, six bathrooms, a basketball court, a fire pit, a wine cellar, a gym, and a hot tub. Who wouldn’t love to live in a secluded house with great amenities and stunning views?
