French Montana Just Snagged a $22 Million Oceanfront Home in Florida’s Under-the-Radar Golden Beach
French Montana already owns a suburban Los Angeles mansion he paid NBA star Paul George $8.4 million for in 2020 and then floated for sale last year at $22.7 million before recently removing it from the market. Not to mention a pair of condos in New York and Las Vegas. Now the Moroccan-born rapper and songwriter has decided to plump up his property portfolio again, having doled out $22 million in an off-market deal for an oceanfront villa in South Florida’s ultra-exclusive Golden Beach community north of Miami.
As first reported by The Real Deal, the seller is Miami-based Glamorous Life Cosmetic Surgery owner Daniel Gonzalez, who picked up the place in 2022 for $19 million and just forked over $34 million for a larger mansion nearby. He picked up the Mediterranean-style spread from retired radio show host Tom Joyner, who undertook an extensive Architectural Digest-featured remodel of the premises during his tenure in collaboration with local architect Wesley Kean and interior designer Deborah Wecselman.

Secured by walls and gates, the stucco and terracotta-roof structure was completed in 2007 and offers five bedrooms and six baths in a little more than 7,300 square feet of three-level living space boasting elegantly appointed rooms complemented by walls of glass offering sweeping ocean views. Glassy double front doors open into a soaring foyer, which flows to formal living and dining rooms.
Other highlights include a rear family room that opens to a covered loggia equipped with a barbecue station and an adjacent kitchen outfitted with a central island and a breakfast nook. A curving sculptural staircase heads upstairs, where a posh primary suite occupying the entire floor flaunts an expansive covered balcony with a fireplace, a luxe bath spotlighted by dual vanities and a glass-encased soaking tub and shower, a designer showroom closet, and an office.
Elsewhere is a subterranean four-car garage with an accompanying fitness center. Outdoors, the Enea-landscaped grounds span over a third of an acre and host a theatrical set of steps leading down to a sundeck-encased pool with a Baja shelf, a cabana, and a grassy lawn abutting a private beach.
Jordan Karp of Jordan Karp LLC represented the buyer, with Alexander Goldstein and Alejandro Victores of Miles Goldstein Real Estate repping the seller.
