Over the weekend, Drake opened the doors to his lavish lifestyle by showcasing the NBA-size basketball court within his $100 million mansion in Toronto.

The indulgence of luxury combined with personal leisure was on full display as he engaged in online betting while lounging on his private court, a scene that captures the pinnacle of celebrity extravagance.

Drake’s weekend activities included sharing a moment from his life of luxury on Instagram, where he was seen playing an online betting game on a flatscreen TV, comfortably situated in the middle of his NBA-size basketball court.

This room, a centerpiece in his opulent Toronto mansion, reflects not only his love for basketball but also his penchant for high-stakes entertainment.

His spontaneous celebration after a win, jumping to his feet in exhilaration, encapsulates the thrill and the high life that Drake consistently associates himself with.

Architectural Marvel and Design Philosophy

Known as « The Embassy, » Drake’s 50,000 square-foot residence is more than just a home; it’s a statement of luxury and longevity. Designed by Ferris Rafauli, the mansion features modern Art Deco style with 40-foot ceilings, a limestone entryway, and exotic wood floors.

In his 2020 interview with Architectural Digest, Drake expressed his desire for the mansion to stand firm for 100 years, emphasizing its monumental scale and feel, crowned notably by a 21-square-foot pyramidal skylight above the court.

Resilience Amidst Natural Challenges

Despite its grandeur, the mansion has not been immune to nature’s forces.

Over the summer, Drake shared distressing visuals of his home experiencing flooding due to torrential rains, with videos showing him navigating through ankle-deep water inside his grand abode.

His humorous take on the situation, hoping for the water to be an Espresso Martini, showcased his ability to maintain humor in the face of adversity.

Security Concerns and Personal Safety

The lavish lifestyle comes with its own set of challenges, including security. Two months prior to the flooding, the security of Drake’s mansion was breached when a man attempted to break in, claiming he was there to see the rapper.

This incident, which ended with the intruder being apprehended under the Mental Health Act, highlights the ongoing security concerns that come with such a high-profile lifestyle and the constant vigilance needed to protect one’s personal space and safety.
