In 2019, The Daily Show presenter Trevor Noah, 36, swore he would never cohabit with a lover – but he has just invested $ 27.5 million in a Bel Air mansion for him and his girlfriend, the actress of 40-year-old “Titãs” Minka Kelly.
The elegant 11,000 square foot mansion at 14930 Corona Del Mar has six bedrooms, eight full bathrooms and three half baths, all with views of the Santa Monica Mountains and the Pacific Ocean, according to a report by the Wall Street Journal in September, when the house was still for sale.

Noah bought the house at a discount of almost 25% off the original price of $ 36 million in 2018. The house belonged to designer Mark Rios, 64, and her husband, who designed the house in 2014 when they discovered the original house on property, which they bought for $ 650,000 in 1996, was sinking into the ocean, according to a 2017 interview with Architectural Digest.
“So many elegant houses are full of beautiful art objects that scream: ‘Look at me! I’m wonderful!’ These houses have a lot going on. Our home is the opposite. We kept things simple, ”Rios told AD.
The front of the house is white and windowless, while the back has floor-to-ceiling windows. Designed for outdoor fun, the house has an outdoor bar, kitchen, fireplace, dining area, a 15 by 60 infinity pool and a landscaped “lemon terrace” full of citrus trees, Rios told Wall Street.

The wine room has an elevator with a glass box that takes you to the kitchen, where the appliances are hidden behind dark wooden cabinets. A hidden wall can be pulled to close the kitchen, according to the WSJ report.
“I was more experimental and did more in detailing this house than I did with previous customers,” said Rios. He and her husband only decided to sell the house so they could take on a new construction project nearby, according to the WSJ.
Noah also has $ 10 million coverage in New York City and bought a different mansion in Bel Air for $ 20.5 million in 2018, which he sold for $ 21.7 million in August, according to Architectural Digest.

Jonah Wilson, who People, MarketWatch and other publications reported representing Noah, told The Post that he was not involved in the transaction and did not represent the seller.
