Adele’s $80 million Beverly Hills mansion is at ‘high risk’ from earthquakes

Remember when chart-topping megastar Adele paid a whopping $80 million to buy Sylvester Stallone’s huge Beverly Hills estate back in January?

Well, it turns out the multiple Grammy Award winner should’ve potentially done a bit more due diligence before she took the exceedingly expensive plunge.

According to a study conducted by the California Geological Survey, the 33-year-old’s stunning abode is at ‘high risk’ in the event of an earthquake, as the property is built on the side of a hill within an active fault.

The survey determined that due to the mansion being near an “active fault near-source zone”, it could result in earthquakes with a magnitude north of seven on the Richter scale to be generated.

And if that were to occur, the survey also concluded an earthquake could result in ‘seismic hazards’… which is a sugar-coated way of saying that; if the home starts a rumbling, it could go tumbling.

The Sun reported the gorgeous eight-bedroom, 12-bathroom home’s estate even has a specialised automatic shut-off valve for the gas because, in the event of seismic activity, tremors could cause explosions.

Given this shocking news, we’re pretty confident Adele will be more than happy she didn’t pay full price for the 14,164-square-meter property.

As Nine reported, the Brit actually scored what was thought to be a bargain at the time, with Rocky Balboa actor Stallone previously listing the opulent residence for a stupendous $152 million in January 2021.

Still, morbid as it may sound – if things do turn pear-shaped for the singer’s lavish new digs, at least she’ll still have other properties to fall back on.

According to the New York Post, Adele has dropped a cool $41 million-plus on three other Beverly Hills mansions in the last couple of years… let’s just hope those homes aren’t built on the same active fault too.
