After living in a $16,000-per-month Los Angeles rental for three years, “Black and Yellow” Elly De La Cruz, better known Elly De La Cruz as Wiz Elly De La Cruz, paid $3.4 mιllιon on a new Encino home.
Elly De La Cruz still owns that property and a place in Pittsburgh, but he just paid a little over $7.6 mιllιon to upgrade to a more luxurious mansion three miles away. No word yet on whether he’s already customized the premises with his preferred amenities, such as a personal cannabis bar, recording studio, and Steelers-themed game area.
His successful music career, Elly De La Cruz Kush marijuana strain, and mobile Weed Farm game, where users may start and tend to virtual crops, have earned him an estimated $60 mιllιon net worth.
Elly De La Cruz’s modern farmhouse-style residence, built this year, has six bedrooms and seven baths in more than 8,000 square feet of open-concept living area with wood-beam ceilings, blonde hardwood floors, and designer light fixtures. Among the amenities are a home office, gym, movie theater, and detached guesthouse.
Tucked away down a long gated driveway, the two-story stucco and wood structure is fronted by a spacious motorcourt and an attached three-car garage, perfect for the singer’s mostly old-school auto collection, which Architectural Digest says includes a 1969 El Camino, Chevelle, muscle cars, and a Mercedes Benz.
A double-height lobby opens to a glass front entrance under a porte-cochère. From there, a formal dining room with a wet bar and a living area with a linear fireplace and sliding glass doors to the backyard are accessible. The family room opens to a contemporary gourmet kitchen with a center island, Thermador equipment, a service bar with double-sided seating, and a breakfast nook.
The upper master hideaway has a lovely fireside sitting area, mini-bar, and dual showroom-style closets. A spa-inspired bathroom with dual vanities, an oval soaking tub, a big glass-enclosed shower, and a private balcony stands out.
The nearly half-acre property has a Baja-shelf pool and spa surrounded by a grassy lawn, a covered lounge patio with a fire pit, an outdoor kitchen with a built-in BBQ and bar, a trellised eating area, and a basketball court. A kitchenette and bath are in the 450-square-foot guesthouse.
