Beyoncé and Jay-Z might have 99 problems (or less) but housing ain’t one.
The star couple are record-breakers, and this time, they’ve smashed one thanks to their latest real estate purchase.
The 41-year-old pop superstar and her rapper husband have a reported combined net worth of $2.5billion (£2bn) and apparently spent an eye-watering $200million (£160m) on a 30,000-square-foot home in the ‘prime area’ of Malibu.
The sale has been called the ‘most expensive’ house ever sold in the state of California. The Bonnie & Clyde hitmakers busted the previous record of a $177m (£142m) price tag paid previously by Netscape co-founder Marc Andreessen.
TMZ reported the duo got an ‘unbelievable deal’ for their new digs. It’s the second most expensive real estate deal in the country – the top being $238m (£191m) for an NYC apartment.
‘The home was listed for a whopping $295m,’ a source told the outlet. The star couple are said to have bought the mansion from art collector William Bell.

The source claimed their new luxurious Malibu estate, said to have been designed by self-taught Pritzker Prize-winning Japanese architect Tadao Ando, has stunning views overlooking the Pacific Ocean in an area appropriately known as Billionaires Row.
Ando is in high demand in elite star circles it seems – he’s also behind the plush pad currently being built for Kim Kardashian’s rapper ex-husband Kanye West.
The Crazy In Love hitmaker, currently in London to perform a series of Tottenham stadium dates for her anticipated Renaissance World Tour, is known for splashing her hard-earned cash on luxury housing.

The songstress is also said to own a Bel-Air mansion with her husband, 53, bought in 2017 for a cool $88m (£70m) – it now has a reported value of more than $100m.

The power couple clearly wants plenty of room (and then some) for their family – they are parents to Blue Ivy, 11, and five-year-old twins Sir and Rumi. Also in 2017, they reportedly purchased a 12,000-square-foot mansion in the Hamptons with a (slightly cheaper) price tag of $26m (£20m).
Safe to say there’ll be plenty of legroom for everyone in their new family home.
