The Weeknd’s $50 million Florida mansion in Coral Gables stood on a 1.24-acre peninsula with 574 feet of waterfront, enough to accommodate a superyacht. The pop star, whose real name is Abel Tesfaye, bought the Miami-adjacent estate in October 2025 with Eddy Martinez and Roland Ortiz of ONE Sotheby’s International Realty acting as his agents. The V-shaped spit of land left the house surrounded by water on three sides, while almost every vantage point offered panoramas of Biscayne Bay, the Miami skyline and Atlantic sunrises. The Mediterranean-style estate had eight bedrooms and nine full bathrooms across nearly 19,000 square feet.
