Beyoncé and Jay-Z bought a $88 million California house

Beyoncé and Jay-Z are two renowned music icons in the world. The power couple owns numerous opulent mansions and, according to Cosmopolitan, has a combined net worth of $1.9 billion. An ostentatious dream mansion valued at $88 million is among their most striking real estate holdings.

Jay-Z and Beyoncé, being perfectionists, looked for their ideal home for no less than three years. Before discovering and purchasing the $88 million Bel Air property, the couple had lived in a string of opulent rental villas.

Beyoncé and Jay-Z also owned a beachfront mansion in Malibu that was located on the Pacific Coast Highway. There, the couple welcomed Sir and Rumi, their twins. The property can be rented for up to $400,000 a month and features 15 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms. At the moment, Beyoncé, Jay-Z, and their three kids live in the $88 million estate, which is spread across 2,787 square meters and has six distinct buildings. The architect, Dean McKillen, created the home, which has eight bedrooms and eleven baths. In addition to its vast rooms and ornate architecture, the mansion has unique facilities including a roomy garage for their collection of high-end vehicles, a spa, and an indoor theater.

The mansion includes a wide screen entertainment room, mood-changing lighting, plush furnishings, a home theater, and even doors coated in lizard skin. In addition to four swimming pools, a basketball court, and a separate space for workers, Queen Bey’s elegant residence guarantees round-the-clock care.

The Los Angeles Times reports that even with their vast wealth, Jay-Z and Beyoncé had to take out a $52.8 million mortgage from Goldman Sachs to pay $88 million for the 0.8-hectare hillside property in Bel-Air. This implies that the power couple will have to pay $149,600 every month. They made a cash payment of $35.2 million, or 40% of the house’s cost.

In relation to art, the home is furnished with numerous excellent items. Beyoncé has a preference for the current American musicians Awol Erizku, Kerry James Marshall, and Kara Walker who are of Ethiopian heritage.

Instead of merely settling for a secure life, the Grammy-winning couple reportedly spent $800,000 renovating the home, according to UK media. The Bel Air mansion has undergone renovations totaling $750,000, which include the installation of a $30,000 backup generator and a living area centered around the four pools (one on the rooftop and three in the backyard).
