Sterling Heights pad
In the summer of 1999, Mathers and his then-wife, Kim Scott, paid $450,000 for a nearly 5,000-square-foot 1980s dwelling in the Detroit suburb of Sterling Heights. Reportedly, the on-again, off-again pair redid the kitchen and primary bedroom, plus added bright purple carpet.
According to ABC News, the spot lacked sufficient privacy for the rapper; fans and thieves frequently showed up and stole “No Trespassing” signs and once even the mailbox. Mathers parted ways with the 2.78-acre property in 2001. Though the rapper originally wanted $750,000 for the dwelling, it sold for just $475,000. (The new owner promptly removed the bold choice in carpeting.)
Primary residence
Eminem reportedly bought his next property in September 2000, when he spent a little under $1.5 million for a 1996-built home in Clinton Township, a suburb northeast of Detroit. Records indicate that the house, nestled inside a private gated neighbourhood, spans a little under 9,000 square feet – a spec that Mathers referenced in his 2009 song “Elevator” with the line, “This is my house, all nine thousand feet.”
The 8 Mile star has since had plenty of time to change things, but per listing history, the dwelling is a wood-and-brick split-level with four bedrooms and six bathrooms. At the time of sale, the abode also featured double-height rooms with crown mouldings and etched glass doors. Listed amenities also include three fireplaces, a wet bar, security and sound systems, a breakfast room, a sunroom, and a study. Clocking in at three-quarters of an acre, the plot also has a basketball court, a 35-foot pool, and a spa.
Though the place has a much higher level of security than Mathers’s previous pad, it has had at least one trespassing incident. In 2020, a man broke into the house, and the rapper reportedly “escorted the home invader through a TV area, game room, and basketball court to an exit out of the house.”
So, where does Eminem live now? This is actually still the “Lose Yourself” musician’s primary residence.
