ADELE forked out £46million when she snapped up Sylvester Stallone's Beverly Hills mansion two years ago.
But I can reveal she still hasn’t moved in despite spending millions more gutting the home, renovating it and adding a whole new floor.
It already had eight bedrooms and 12 bathrooms but the singer has extended it skywards, as well as building a garage for up to five luxury cars.
In the most recent building permit application last month, which suggests the pad is now nearing completion, Adele’s team said they are putting a “cool roof” on the structure to comply with strict specifications of properties in a “very high” Fire Hazard Severity Zone.
A source said: “When Adele bought the house she didn’t intend to change too much. But she has a team of Hollywood experts on board who suggested the extra floor.

“The house will be absolutely gigantic by the time it’s done. But it is looking incredible and she thinks it’s worthwhile. She wants it to be her forever home with her son Angelo and partner Rich Paul, and she dreams of extending her family there.”
The mammoth building job is being handled by celebrity construction company Valle Reinis.
It was founded by Brian Valle and TV actor Rob Reinis, son-in-law of Henry Winkler, who have featured in Elle Decor and Architectural Digest.
Her renovations are so major that one of the only things that is staying is a statue by the pool of Sly’s boxing character Rocky, with his fist raised aloft.
Sylvester said last year that he intended to take the figure with him when he moved, but he recalled: “She said, ‘That’s a no deal. That’s gonna blow the whole deal.’ She wanted the statue.”
On Saturday, Adele performed the final night of this leg of her Las Vegas residency, ahead of shows in Munich in August.
She will return for ten concerts in October and November, before wrapping her Weekends With Adele series.
By then, she will have performed 100 shows there — and hopefully her dream home will be finished.

The former Man City winger has has teamed up with EE to front its “Hate. Not In My Shirt” campaign along with his daughter Raphaella.
Shaun said he hopes he can teach the new generation of football fans that abuse is never acceptable, at a time when research shows 37 percent of kids aged six to 15 have experienced at least one form of hate.
It’s time to stamp it out.
