With a price tag that baffles us mere mortals, the couple’s new house is the epitome of swankiness and comes with an abundance of awe-inspiring features and amenities. Situated on a sprawling eight-acre blufftop, Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s new Malibu residence offers a mesmerising panorama of the serene coastline and views of the limitless Pacific Ocean.
Designed by renowned Japanese architect Tadao Ando in collaboration with L.A.’s WHY Architects, this impressive property showcases a stunning 40,000 square feet of living space, enveloped in a striking concrete facade. Originally commissioned by esteemed contemporary art collectors Bill and Maria Bell, who acquired the property in the 1990s, the house took more than a decade and a half to finish.

Per Dirt, the estate’s driveaway and motor courts alone required over 22,500 square feet of polished pervious concrete, while the construction of the home itself necessitated an estimated 7,645 cubic yards of concrete. This palatial pad encompasses a private beach, an infinity pool seamlessly blending into the ocean, tranquil Zen water features, expansive lawns on either side and a ton of privacy, a prerequisite for every celebrity mansion.
Although specific details about the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, and amenities are undisclosed due to the property’s private listing, one can only imagine that the residence would be packed with features befitting the couple’s extravagant tastes. As per TMZ, the sale of this grand property was facilitated by Broker Kurt Rappaport, a renowned celebrity real estate agent from the Westside Estate Agency, who represented both the buyer and the seller in the transaction.
With this addition to their lavish property collection, Beyoncé and Jay-Z have turned their real estate game up to eleven. The colossal Malibu mansion joins the Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s already formidable property portfolio, which includes a glamorous New York City penthouse, a luxurious Hamptons hideaway and the couple’s current residence nestled in the prestigious Bel Air neighbourhood of Los Angeles.
