What is Trevor Noah's net worth? 'The Daily Show' host buys $27.5M Bel-Air mansion amid romance with Minka Kelly
South African comedian and television host Trevor Noah spent $27.5M on a "contemporary mansion" in Bel Air, confirmed the Times. This of course isn't the first time that Noah has dropped cash on mansions, as it was reported that he also bought a mansion in Bel-Air in 2019 for $20.5M, which he sold for $21.7M last summer. This new mansion was bought from an architect from LA named Mark Rios.
In an interview with Architectural Digest, Rios said that the home is inspired by Japanese aesthetics. “I went through over 50 plans before we settled on one," he said. He also added that the library “was fashioned after a room in Kyoto, using heavy, dark timbers. And the spa resembles old ryokans I’ve visited in Japan.” So it seems like Noah has a great mansion on his hand, and a lot of cash to drop on its sale.
