Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are gearing up to line Dre's pockets even more, because Dre owns the Bel Air mega-property the couple is seriously thinking about buying.
According to TMZ broke the story ... Kim and Kanye have got their eyes on a massive plot of land tucked away in a secluded section of Bel Air, and are considering buying it and then building an enormous, super-private mansion.
The couple already owns an $11 million mansion nearby -- still under construction -- but now they're concerned it's too exposed ... so they're thinking about selling it and buying the lot.
And now for the crazy coincidence -- we've learned the 6-acre plot is owned by hip hop mega-producer Dr. Dre, which he purchased last year for roughly $10.5 million. We're told the land is now worth between $11-12 million.
FYI, Dre is worth a reported $360 million. Kim and Kanye's reported net worth combined isn't even half that. Dre reportedly raked in $110 million last year alone ... largely from Beats by Dre.
