reportedly took out a $48.7 million mortgage to purchase the $70.4 million seaside mansion she bought in Malibu last fall, and used Brittany Spears’ under-fire ex-manager to handle the deal.

The socialite, 42, borrowed the funds from investment bank BNY Mellon, which offers customized mega-mortgages for ultra-wealthy clients, for the sale that closed on September 12, according to documents reported by the . 

It’s unclear what kind of terms Kardashian may have gotten on her mortgage, but for the week of the sale, the national average rate on 30-year fixed mortgages with jumbo balances was 5.56% according to the Mortgage Bankers Association.

That loan structure and rate would equate to monthly mortgage payments of more than $278,000, even before taxes and insurance — although the payments could also be much higher or lower under different terms.  

The stunning home, which supermodel Cindy Crawford and her husband Rande Gerber use to own, has four bedrooms and five-and-a-half bathrooms inside more than 7,000 square feet.

The clifftop mansion is about 14 miles away from the home Kardashian’s ex-husband Kanye West, 45, recently purchased for $57million in the exclusive seaside enclave.

If Kardashian took out a 30-year fixed loan at prevailing jumbo rates, her monthly payment would be more than $278,000

According to the mortgage documents cited by the Sun, Kardashian appears to still be using Brittany Spears’ under-fire former business manager, Lou Taylor, to assist in real estate transactions. 

The corporation used to complete the purchase of the home, Look At God Re LLC, is registered at the same address as Taylor’s management firm, Tri Star Sports and Entertainment Group. 

Tri Star came under scrutiny during Spears’ conservatorship legal battle, but the company has strenuously denied the singer’s claims that it mishandled her $60 million fortune during her father Jamie Spears’ 13-year conservatorship. 

The Kardashian clan has previously used Taylor and her firm to handle deals, and the report suggests the business relationship has survived despite the allegations from Spears, once a close confidante of Kim’s. 

A spokesperson for Kardashian did not immediately respond to a request for comment from DailyMail.com on Friday evening. 

The purchase of the Malibu mansion was reportedly in a private off-market transaction, with  handling the sale.

Kardashian’s mansion purchase was the sixth most expensive real estate transaction in Southern California for 2022, according to the . 

The palatial estate once belonged to Vogue model Cindy Crawford, 56, and her husband Rande Gerber, 60, who lived there with kids Kaia and Presley.

The power couple bought it in 2015 and then sold it in 2018 for $45 million to a retired hedge fund manager.

Beyoncé and Jay-Z top the list of celebrity mortgages after borrowing $52.8MILLION on their $88million Bel Air digs 

It’s often said the more you earn, the more you spend, and that certainly seems to be the case with Hollywood’s biggest stars. And while celebrities have fortunes and massive luxury homes most people can only dream about, with them come mortgages that most homeowners couldn’t even fathom. 

DailyMail.com did some digging into public records and can reveal which A-list singers and film stars took out mortgages for their pricey palatial homes.The monthly payments for their multimillion abodes are in the six-figure range.

According to one celebrity wealth expert, it often pays the super-rich to take out a mortgage on a mega home instead of paying for it outright. 

‘It usually comes down to one reason. Typically the investor feels that what they are paying on the mortgage is less than what they can do with that money by investing it,’ Robert Pagliarini, based in Irvine, California told DailyMail.com.

Topping the list for outrageous mortgages are Beyoncé, 41, and Jay-Z, 52, who took out a staggering $53million loan for their current Bel Air property in 2017.The superstar couple are reported to have a combined net worth of $1.8billion. 

Here are the celebrities with colossal mortgages – and others who’ve decided to buy loan-free. 

BEYONCE AND JAY-Z – $52.8MILLION/$226,901 MONTHLY 

The Hollywood power couple paid $88million in August 2017 for a stunning property in Bel Air, which features eight bedrooms, 11 bathrooms, four outdoor swimming pools, and a spa and wellness center.

They borrowed $52.8million to buy the place and refinanced again last year with Goldman Sachs for exactly the same amount at a fixed rate of 3.15 per cent, with repayments working out at an eye-popping $226,901-a-month.

The music duo may still be able to sleep at night, as they’re worth $1.8billion, which means they could afford on paper to buy 20 places like it. 

DRAKE – $52.5MILLION/$220,000 MONTHLY

The Canadian rapper, 36, bought his Beverly Hills home from British singer Robbie Williams for a staggering $75million this year in March, seven years after the Take That star purchased the property for $32million.

The Take My Breath hitmaker – whose real name is Abel Tesfaye – reduced that figure to $48.3million, with his payments amounting to about $203k-a-month, and deciding he wanted to move into the place instead.

It has six bedrooms, ten bathrooms and sits in 2.1 acres of land, here is also a tea room and swimming pool.

But as the 47-year-old is worth $120million according to Forbes, then she can afford the estimated $72,000-a-month repayments.

The property, which cost Corden $10million in 2017, is now worth $13.4million, according to real estate site Zillow. 

City National Bank offers ‘super jumbo loans’ with discounted deals for those who enjoy a ‘special relationship’ with the bank.

It’s not known why Corden would need the money considering he’s amassed such a large fortune. 

Next year, London-born Corden is due to quit the US after an eight-year stint as host of The Late, Late Show, where he’s amassed a $70 million fortune.

TAYLOR SWIFT 

The mega-loaded country pop singer has her own private jet and property all around the world, so for the 32-year-old to splash out $25million cash on a Beverly Hills mansion was never going to be a problem. 

She bought the iconic estate in September 2015, which was owned by the family of late Hollywood producer Samuel Goldwyn.

ROBBIE WILLIAMS 

The former Take That frontman had just banked $75million from flogging his Beverly Crest place to Drake in March, so it was hardly surprising that he paid $49.5million for a new three-house estate in Holmby Hills without a mortgage.
