Daily Show host Trevor Noah made headlines recently, not for his punchlines, but rather for his luxury property buy in Bel Air, California.
A video showed Noah’s exclusive purchase in the ultra-rich neighbourhood of Bel-Air, reportedly costing $27.5 million (R420,000,000).
The mansion has 11 bedrooms, a wine cellar, a spa, a screening room, a rooftop terrace, an outdoor bar and an infinity pool.
The reported purchase by Noah quickly become a hot topic on social media, with many congratulating the star while others wondered why he did not use the money to help the less fortunate.
