Pop star and entrepreneur Rihanna has spent $21 million on a 40th-floor penthouse at The Century, one of Los Angeles's most exclusive condo buildings, according to records shared by CoreLogic. The property was previously owned by actor Matthew Perry. It seems that the soon-to-be mom-of-two is upgrading her home to welcome her second child.

The nine-time Grammy winner's new Century City abode is double the size of her previous one. It spans over a whopping 9,290 square feet and has four bedrooms and six bathrooms.

Other highlights of the propertyincludefour terraces, aplush soundproof movie theatre with tiered seating, a modular kitchen with two marble islands, and a primary suite that comes attached withdual bathrooms, roomy closets, and a private seating areawith a fireplace.

The deal for the penthouse closed on the last day of March, according to records. The buyer was listed as a trust with the mailing address to Evan Jehle, a partner at the New York-based business management company FFO and a member of the Global Advisory Board of Rihanna’s Clara Lionel Foundation.
