Although Beyoncé is currently on the first leg of her widely popular Renaissance World Tour, it didn’t stop her from selecting her newest home. The power couple snagged the record from their new neighbor, venture capitalist Marc Andreessen, who bought his home next door for a staggering $177 million in 2021. The Knowles-Carter estate in Malibu was designed by the self-taught Pritzker Prize-winning Japanese architect Tadao Ando, best known in the U.S. for building the Fort Worth Modern Art Museum. According to TMZ, Beyoncé and JAY-Z have purchased a 30,000-square foot home in Malibu for a record-breaking price tag of $200 million. Apparently that’s the biggest real estate transaction in California history, smashing the previous record of $177 million.

There will be plenty of space for Beyoncé’s three children to play in the expansive backyard boasting one swimming pool, one reflecting pool typical of Ando’s style, and direct beach access. It is the work of renowned Japanese architect Tadao Ando, who collaborated with LA-based Why Architects to deliver the billionaire family a dream home. Commissioned in the late 1990s, this contemporary design took nearly 15 years to plan and build. Jay-Z and Beyoncé have just snagged one of the greatest architectural masterpieces in the country ...

It reportedly took Bell over a decade and a half to finish construction on the concrete property. The concrete home overlooks the Pacific Ocean and has striking features, an expansive lawn on either side, and plenty of privacy for the ultra-famous family of five. The sale was brokered by Kurt Rappaport, a celebrity real estate agent of the Westside Estate Agency, who represented both the buyer and the seller in the sale.

Ando is also the architect behind Kanye West’s $57.3 Malibu home, which he purchased in 2021 amid his divorce proceedings with billionaire ex-wife, Kim Kardashian. Plus, it seems the Knowles-Carters got a bit of a deal on the home, originally listed for an eye-watering $295 million. Beyoncé, who’s on track to net $2 billion from her international Renaissance tour alone, has yet to announce the family’s move-in date. The $200 million dollar property was designed by Japanese master architect Tadao Ando. She first joined Future Plc as a News Writer across their interiors titles, including Livingetc and Real Homes, before becoming H&G's News Editor in April 2022. Before joining Future, Megan worked as a News Explainer at The Telegraph, following her MA in International Journalism at the University of Leeds.

There are also rumors that the Carters own a mansion in New Orleans, as they listed it for sale and took it off the market in 2021. We’re sure the 32-time award-winning Grammy artist looks forward to returning to sunny Los Angeles to luxuriate at her new mansion with her family. Multiple sources have now reported that Beyoncé and Jay-Z are living, for the time being, at a Malibu mansion known as La Villa Contenta. And if Beyoncé's beautifully staged Instagram is any indication, this was also the location for her twin-revealing photo shoot. The ocean-front property was once for sale for a whopping $75 million, which made it one of the most expensive homes on the market in the area. The home was specifically designed to double as a showcase for the Bells’ impressive art collection.

Bell, who bought the property in 2003 at $14.5 million, spent over 15 years completing the 30,000 square feet compound–designed to showcase his legendary art collection. Though it is the biggest real estate deal for a detached home in the country, it is not the most expensive home ever sold here. That record belongs to a New York City apartment bought by hedge fund billionaire Ken Griffin in 2019 for $238 million. It’s a penthouse unit that includes four full floors at the top of the 220 Central Park building. The couple paid $200 million for the property, making it the most expensive home ever sold in the entire state of California ...

Of course, the home comes with some envious architectural significance. It is one of the very few American homes designed by Japanese master-architect Tadao Ando. Designer Tom Ford was among the first Americans to commission Ando to design a home. A certain controversial rapper infamously bought an Ando home in Malibu that has now reportedly fallen into disrepair. That rapper’s ex-wife Kim Kardashian is rumored to have recently flown to Japan to meet with Ando to consult about the design of her own future dream home. The house was reportedly owned and built by William Bell, a soap opera producer and one of the biggest art collectors in the world.

Knowles and Jay-Z, who’s real name is Shawn Carter, purchased a sprawling $200 million Malibu, California estate. They reportedly got a discount, as the home was privately listed for $295 million. Designed by renowned Japanese architect Tadao Ando, the mansion spans 30,000 square feet and reportedly took more than a decade and a half to finish. The seller is notable Los Angeles art collector Bill Bell, Jr., who is the heir to a soap opera fortune. His father, William J. Bell, created the iconic soap operas The Young and the Restless and The Bold and the Beautiful.

The WhatsApp CEO, Jan Koum, bought two adjoining properties for a combined $187m, while Marc Andreessen owns three different Malibu homes with a total value of $255.5m. In 2017, they shelled out $88 million for an impressive Bel-Air pad, and they also own homes in New York City and the Hamptons. The Carters’ recent purchase surpassed the former record of a $177 million Malibu compound purchased by billionaire Marc Andreessen in 2021, TMZ reported. Still, however, the most expensive sale in the nation still belongs to billionaire hedge-fund manager Ken Griffin, who purchased a New York City penthouse for $238 million.

When it comes to living a lavish lifestyle, Beyonce, 41, is no stranger! While she is busy touring across the globe for her Renaissance tour, the “Single Ladies” hitmaker and her husband, Jay-Z, 53, reportedly purchased a mansion in Malibu for a whopping $200 million, TMZ reported on May 19. The luxurious 30,000-square-foot property is located on an eight-acre bluff that looks over the Pacific Ocean. According to TMZ, the couple purchased the 40,000-square-foot Malibu home set on 8 acres from William Bell Jr. — one of the largest art collectors in the world.

Because the home was listed privately, it’s not known how many bedrooms and bathrooms are inside or the types of amenities—but we can only imagine the home’s features are fit for the couple’s extravagant tastes. The calming retreat is both simple and tranquil—surely a respite from both of the musician’s busy lifestyle. Knowles is currently in Europe on her Renaissance World Tour, which is estimated to rake in nearly $2 billion.

Their next-door neighbour, venture capitalist Marc Andreessen, holds the record for the second most expensive home bought for a staggering US$177 million in 2021. If you can believe it, Jay-Z and Beyoncé got somewhat of a deal on the estate as the property was quietly listed for $295 million, per TMZ. The tour is in support of her 2022 album, Renaissance, which topped the Billboard 200 albums chart upon its release and won the Grammy award for best dance/electronic album. Three of the project’s songs also won individual awards, with “Break My Soul” winning best dance/electronic recording, “Plastic Off the Sofa” taking home best traditional R&B performance and “Cuff It” winning best R&B song. According to TMZ, the pair has splashed out $200 million for a sprawling mansion designed by Pritzker prize–winning architect Tadao Ando perched amid the star-studded bluffs in Malibu, California.

He runs a company, the Society Group, devoted solely to promoting celebrity agents and the houses that they list. The good ones package it up, serving it to clients in the form of property tours that show off not only a house, but also the life that a house can offer. And the really good ones are so adept at spinning the fantasy that they’re building careers on television out of it.

Entertainment news outlet TMZ reported on Friday that the music icons had paid $200 million for a 40,000-square-foot property in the Paradise Cove area, citing sources in the real estate industry. In May 2023, Beyoncé and husband Jay-Z purchased a $200 million dollar Malibu home overlooking the Pacific Ocean, inking the most expensive real estate deal in California history, according to TMZ. According to TMZ, Beyoncé, and Jay-Z 'got an unbelievable deal' as the home, which is situated on 'Billionaires' Row', was initially listed for $295 million. Stevie Nicks, Pamela Anderson, Matthew McConaughey, and Betsy Johnson are among the stars who are also said to own property in the neighborhood. Last year, nearby in Malibu, Kanye West also purchased a $57.3 million vacation home, also designed by the Japanese-born architect.

The duo recently purchased a more than 30,000-square-foot home in the Paradise Cove area of Malibu, Calif., and they paid $200 million for the property, according to TMZ. Hedge fund founder Ken Griffin still holds the title for the biggest real estate purchase in the nation, putting down a whopping $238 million for his Central Park South high-rise in 2019. If anyone wants to outdo Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s buy, though, they’ll have to compete with more than price alone. The all-concrete home centers on sweeping windows harmonizing artificial and natural light—all the better to drink in those multimillion-dollar views, while still lending the home’s sleek lines that signature Ando buoyancy. Azure pools (plural) punctuate the outdoor space, with access to a private beach. Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s purchase of the monumental home marks the most expensive residential real-estate deal in California history.

“I see why them tickets be so much,she put in work,” one admirer wrote, while a second quipped, “Baddie Bey.” In a separate comment, another fan couldn’t help but compliment her on her ensembles. In 2017, they bought a Bel-Air mansion for $88 million, and invested millions more into the home for it to be worth close to $100 million today. Design features also include a water feature and a pool — all while utilizing 7,645 cubic yards of concrete. Beyoncé will presumably return to this minimalist yet luxurious home after completing her 57-concert Renaissance World Tour, from which she will reportedly make US$2 billion. Aerial images reveal ample parking space outdoors in addition to a garage, which means the celebrity couple’s alleged US$29 million convertible Rolls-Royce will have a commodious parking to itself.
