Rhode Island
Comedian Matt Rife Just Bought a Massive Estate in Rhode Island. Here's What We Know
Welcome to the Ocean State, Matt Rife.
The viral comedian recently shared on the Are You Garbage Podcast that he has planted some roots in Rhode Island. He purchased an impressive estate with lots of land, and from the sounds of it, he’s got some big plans for it.
Rife shared his impressive journey to the spotlight with H. Foley and Kevin Ryan of Are You Garbage Comedy Podcast, from his humble beginnings as a “white trash kid” in Ohio to becoming one of the most viral comedians on social media.
Matt Rife Moves to Rhode Island
With fame comes money, and with money, comes big money purchases.
Now that Rife had some serious money to his name, he wanted to find a place to call home and chose Rhode Island for a few reasons.
“It wasn’t even in the top ten states I looked at,” he said.
Ouch.
But it checked all the boxes he was looking for: convenient for travel, a good comedy scene, and lots of land.
“I got all that for probably the price of a 2-bedroom (house) with no yard in LA,” he said.
He wanted the biggest bang for his buck and found it just outside of the city.
Where Is Matt Rife’s House in Rhode Island?
He didn’t spill the beans on which town he chose, but he did say he lives about 20 minutes away from the famous Conjuring House in Burrillville.
When the Foley asked about the home, Rife shared, “It’s technically four bedrooms, but there’s also 2 houses on the property, so technically it’s an 8-bedroom.”
Oh, and it sits on 80 acres of land.
“That’s most of Rhode Island,” joked Ryan.
“I wanted equity in the state,” laughed Rife.
Rife hopes to build a sound stage among the 80 acres to film his own content on the property.
“All of what I have right now is self-sufficient anyways, so why not create my own (stuff) until somebody comes with the next big thing?” he said. “I just want to create things for fans.”

The vehicle’s three occupants are believed to still be inside.
A car carrying a family of three went into the Seekonk River in Rhode Island Sunday evening, authorities said.
The vehicle entered the river near the Taft Street boat ramp shortly before 7:30 p.m., Pawtucket Police Chief Tina Goncalves said in a statement.
A bystander riding a jet ski heard the car dive into the water and attempted to help, while another witness called 911, according to Goncalves.
First responders arrived within three minutes of the emergency call, Goncalves noted.
The vehicle’s three occupants are believed to still be inside, The Boston Globe reported.
Recovery efforts resumed Monday, with Pawtucket police and fire personnel working alongside Rhode Island State Police and other state agencies to remove the vehicle from the river, Goncalves said.
“Conditions are extremely challenging for dive teams due to the strong current and poor underwater visibility,” she added.
A video released by the Globe shows the car being recovered from the water Monday afternoon.
Authorities have not released the identities or conditions of the occupants.
“We ask that you please keep the family and their loved ones in your prayers as our first responders continue recovery efforts,” Goncalves said.
