Those who keep up with the Kardashians know that Kim Kardashian has amassed quite an impressive real estate portfolio in recent years. The reality star and Skims founder, who famously favors a minimalist look and a neutral color palette, primarily resides in the Hidden Hills, California, home that her ex-husband Kanye West turned from a suburban McMansion to a serene sanctuary with help from Axel Vervoordt, Claudio Silvestrin, and Vincent Van Duysen. With her latest purchases, the mogul seems to be focused on creating spaces she can escape to. She’s building a Palm Springs vacation home with Tadao Ando, another home in an undisclosed location with Kengo Kuma, and most recently, she purchased a beachfront Malibu mansion for $70.4 million.
In an exclusive clip from season three, episode seven of her Hulu reality show The Kardashians (which hits the streaming service July 6), Kim takes her younger sister Khloé Kardashian to visit the new house for the first time.
“This house just really represents to me a lot of the hard work that I’ve put in, and it’s like enjoying the fruits of my labor,” says Kim in a confessional interview. Looking out over the ocean from the property, which sits high on a bluff above the beach, she discusses her future plans for the house. “It’s new energy. I am so looking forward to creating so many memories here,” she says.
Though the clip doesn’t show the inside of the home, Kim is clearly planning to make the space, which once belonged to supermodel Cindy Crawford, her own. “It will be fab once it’s done,” she tells her sister, alluding to renovations.

Kim purchased the 7,450-square-foot Mediterranean-style villa in 2022, and it was one of the most expensive real estate acquisitions in Malibu history. In addition to the private beach access, the property includes amenities such as a pool with a cabana featuring an outdoor fireplace, a tennis court, a firepit area, and a spa.
Although one of the major plot points on this season of The Kardashians has been the simmering tension between Kim and her older sister, Kourtney Kardashian Barker, which seems likely to boil over elsewhere in Thursday’s episode, Kim seems hopeful that her new beach house will be a place where the entire family can enjoy happy times together in the future. “Kim keeps saying that this is for the family and this is where we’re going to have barbecues and our summers and it’s all for the kids,” says Khloé in the clip. “And just her heart, how she thinks, it’s amazing.”
Episode seven of The Kardashians premieres July 6 on Hulu, with new episodes every Thursday. Check out the clip below.
