Kim Kardashian and Kanye West broke real estate records when they sold their Bel-Air mansion to a Ukrainian billionaire for a mammoth $17.8m.

But it has been claimed that along with the mammoth price tag Marina Acton splashed out for the property, there was also an important clause that reality queen Kim needed to help promote her music career, reports The Blast.

The brunette beauty, 37, and her rapper beau, 41, sold the 10,000 square foot property to Silicon Valley-based philanthropist Marina back in November, making a whopping $8.8m profit.

However, it was reported that Acton is a huge fan of Kim and has dreams of becoming a successful singer, with the socialite allegedly paying more than the property was worth due to the curvaceous star's connection.

The website reports that as part of the deal for the sale, social media star Kim agreed to promote Marina's music career and spend time with her at events and in public.

It was also claimed the alleged deal included a set amount of public appearances, including for Kim to attend Marina's single release party for her song 'Fantasize.'

The glamorous duo were also seen going for dinner and posing for snappers at LA hotspot Craig's.

A source close to Kim told MailOnline: 'Kim agreed to promote Marina’s music via a social media post and appearance at her single release party.'

It was claimed that the Actons never fully moved into Kim and Kanye's former home, and that it is now back on the market seven months later, with the couple keen to recoup their cash.

Expert sources told the website this was the first real estate deal in history to 'incorporate social media and music promotion as a caveat'.

Earlier this week, Acton told TMZ that due to expecting her first child in a few months, she is looking to upgrade to a property double the size.

She said her parents will be joining her when she moves, with her sights set on a new place in Miami or West Palm Beach with a guest house.

The billionaire summed up the budget for her new property by saying 'The sky is the limit.'

Kim and Kanye bought the property in 2013 for $9 million, shattering records four years later when they flipped it for a whopping $17.8 million - shattering the local community's record by $4 million.

After buying the home, Kim and Kanye spent a further $2 million on renovations to customize it to their liking, with extensive changes made to the outdoor patio, roof, patio and pool areas.

The property boasts five bedrooms and included bathroom for each of Kim's sisters as well as her mother.

After years of work, the duo began residing at the property in one of the country's most well-heeled areas in March of 2016.
