Stevie Wonder’s sons, Kailand and Mandla, are parting ways with their childhood home in Calabasas, California, as their mother, Kai Millard, has listed the property for $15 million or a $65,000 monthly lease.
The six-bedroom, six-bathroom estate, spanning 11,120 square feet, sits in a gated San Fernando Valley community. Millard and Wonder divorced in 2012 and she has since fully remodeled the 2.779-acre home, as reported by PEOPLE.
Listed by Branden Williams, Rayni Williams, Dennis DeWalt, and Brandon Meneses of The Beverly Hills Estates, the Calabasas home boasts luxury features, including a chef’s kitchen with a marble island, Miele appliances, and Sub-Zero refrigerators.

The estate includes a wine storage area, bar, and chevron parquet wood floors. The junior primary suite offers a private living room and en-suite bathroom, while the primary suite features dual sitting areas, a fireplace, a private balcony, and a walk-in closet.
The spa-like primary bathroom includes a walk-in shower, steam room, and a new infrared sauna.
The estate’s upstairs office features a marble fireplace and a grand gold-leaf chandelier. On the lower level, amenities include a butler’s kitchen, a guest bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, and a spacious living room with access to a piano entertainment room.
The entertainment room opens to a sprawling backyard with a custom pool and landscaped gardens, perfect for indoor-outdoor gatherings.
The Wall Street Journal reports that property records show Wonder and his ex-wife Millard purchased the modern Mediterranean-style home for $2.85 million in 2000.
“It just had this incredible, timeless architecture and breathtaking surroundings,” Millard said, per WSJ. “It was on its own little hill and had lots of space.”

“As a young bride and a mother, I had no interest in doing anything to the house,” Millard said of the idea of renovating the home when they first purchased it. “I had to let them be kids. They’re going to mark the wall, put fingerprints everywhere. Just forget about it.”
As her sons grew older, Millard opted to renovate the home during the COVID-19 pandemic, investing at least $3 million to remodel the primary suite and kitchen, creating a more open living space.
“I feel like this is the right time to venture out into a new space,” she said, per WSJ.
