Russell Simmons is widely reported to be living primarily in Bali , Indonesia, where he has been based for several years and says he intends to remain.

Current primary residence

  • Multiple 2024–2025 reports note that Simmons has been living in Bali since around 2018 and describes it as where he plans to stay long term.
  • An interview quoted him as saying he owns no property in the United States and has been living in Bali with no intention of moving back to New York.

Bali lifestyle and retreat

  • Simmons is associated with the Gdas Bali Health and Wellness Resort, described as a yoga- and vegan-focused retreat where he spends much of his time meditating and teaching.
  • Coverage portrays his Bali life as more low‑key, centered on wellness, yoga, and spiritual practice rather than the high-profile New York/LA music scene of his earlier career.

Visits and U.S. ties

  • Despite saying he has no intention of living in New York, he has indicated he sometimes spends time in U.S. cities like Los Angeles, New York, and Miami.
  • Legal filings and reporting also mention that he leases a Manhattan apartment for his children and maintains office space in Midtown Manhattan, though those are described as work/family ties, not his main residence.
