Bianca Censori raised eyebrows when she joined Kanye West’s Yeezy empire as an architect – and now, her skills might be put to the test after the couple listed the rapper’s barren and dilapidated Wyoming ranch as their official home on their marriage license.
DailyMail.com revealed the couple legally tied the knot in December last year – just one month after his divorce from ex-wife Kim Kardashian was finalized – ending months of speculation that they never actually entered into a legally binding union.
The happy couple were granted a ‘confidential marriage’ license in California on December 20, meaning that it was not made public record, after being wed by officiant James Mayfield at his Whispering Oaks Chapel in Palo Alto.
The couple have been on a lengthy European jaunt since tying the knot – but home is officially Kanye’s $14 million Wyoming ranch, which has been left deserted in the years since he first purchased it in 2019.

Despite purchasing the ranch for an eye-watering $14million, West has appeared to have left the property stranded

The property is worlds away from the glamorous $60 million hidden hills mansion he shared with Kim and their four children, which featured all white furnishings, sprawling archways and a giant swimming pool.
Kanye listed the 9,000 acre Monster Lake Ranch for $11 million in October 2021 amid his divorce from Kim, but took it off of the market in August 2022.
The property, where he had plotted his failed run for Presidency, was reportedly Kanye’s favored choice to settle ‘full time’ with the reality star-turned-business woman.
The farm was a bustling hotspot of development, with numerous vehicles on the site while laborers hammered away at the structures, in July 2020, but it now sits empty.
Images taken in March, just three months after he wed Bianca, show buildings under a thick blanket of snow with construction halted on igloo-like concrete structures he had commissioned in the style of his prototypes in California.
Several other buildings which were once surrounded by cars and construction materials are now seemingly abandoned too.
During his heyday, West’s stated goal was to become ‘one of the biggest real estate developers of all time’, but these shocking photos reveal the true extent of his crumbling legacy.
Kanye also purchased a sprawling ranch in Calabasas, Los Angeles for an estimated $3 million in 2019, and got to work constructing a futuristic dome development that left architects scratching their heads.

The 50-foot ‘Yecosystems’ were structures he hoped would help house LA’s rampant homeless population, while also serving as a backdrop for Sunday Service, the gospel choir performance project he eventually took to Coachella.
He constructed the domes through the architecture branch of his Yeezy label, dubbed Yeezy Home, which he launched in 2018. ‘We’re looking for architects and industrial designers who want to make the world better,’ he said at the time.
In an interview with Forbes a year later, the rapper showed off the early versions of the domes, which he had conceived with a team of designers after being inspired by the fictitious planet of Tatooine from Star Wars.
He planned to build droves of the prefabricated structures as housing for the homeless, and even voiced ideas to sink them into the ground with light filtering through their roofs.
The perplexing rapper believed that he could build entire cities with the pods, and felt his ‘inspired’ plans would allow them to spring up across America.
He became so obsessed with the idea that despite being booked to headline music festival Coachella in 2019, Billboard reported that he pulled out at the last minute because organizers wouldn’t build him his own giant dome in the desert for him to stay in at the event.

As recently as October, West still reportedly planned to expand the outlandish communities, believing that ‘Yecosystems’ would become a regular feature of communities across the US.
Despite being dropped from almost all of his collaborations, including lucrative deals with Adidas and Balenciaga, the rapper has forged ahead with his own business plans, filing trademark applications under the Yecosystem name.
Included in the filings were business plans for a home design service, residential buildings and even retail stores, ostensibly intended to supply services to his future tenants.
But not long after he first constructed the domes in California, in September 2019, West fell foul of California’s housing regulations after he failed to get a building permit. After failing to ever obtain once, the domes were set to be torn down – signaling the start of his real estate woes.
West had even claimed that the structures were only temporary, but inspectors suspiciously found he had laid concrete foundations first – which new images from this month show are all that are left after the wooden structures were raised to the ground down for good.
