Nicki Minaj spends $19.5 million on spectacular Hidden Hills mansion for Christmas

If reports are anything to go by, rapper Nicki Minaj has bought an all-new estate in Hidden Hills, a guard-gated city in the San Fernando Valley, at a whopping price tag of $19.5 million. The spectacular mansion is reportedly spread across 12,000 square feet of land and has 8 bedrooms, a detached guesthouse, a cabana, asaltwater pool and a Baja shelf for sunbathing.

The big modern farmhouse, which was built new this year by a local developer, never had a chance to officially hit the market. It was sold to Nicki even "before it could be listed on the MLS", says theproperty realtor. This also, unfortunately,means that pictures and details of the house are virtually nonexistent.

The garage of the house has space for three cars. There aregrassy lawns surrounding the property and significant landscaping has been done for privacy.

The main househas glass doors that open to various patios and terraces. The upstairs master suite has a private balcony overlooking the backyard.

The rapper is yet to confirm the news.

After her latest purchase, her fans are speculating that soon Minaj, Petty and their entourage willmove to the new and grander Hidden Hills estate.
