Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s California property has stunning beach views, and their fans can’t get enough of it!
Tadao Ando, a famous Japanese architect, spent nearly 15 years planning and building this 3.2 hectare brutalist-style estate. The 40,000 square foot home looks out over Paradise Cove, one of Malibu’s most beautiful beaches, and provides stunning views of the ocean and coastline.

It’s easy to see why the Carters were ready to spend so much money on this beautiful structure. The incredible US$200M price tag still seems mind-boggling, even obtaining a remarkable US$100M off the original price of US$295M. It’s the most expensive California house ever sold, period.
The former owners, The Bold and the Beautiful showrunners Bill and Maria Bell, were avid art collectors, and their refined tastes are evident throughout the mansion. The estate is also a heaven for art enthusiasts, with exquisite pieces by artists like Jeff Koons, Andy Warhol, Damien Hirst, and Marcel Duchamp adorning its walls.

The L-shaped enclosure and sturdy concrete passageways of the white castle create an air of understated elegance. The monolith’s openness is enhanced by the floor-to-ceiling glass panels that provide a sweeping vista of the beautiful scenery outside. Contractor Pacific Pervious Concrete laid down an astonishing 22,500 square feet of polished pervious concrete just for the driveway of the estate, adding an extra touch of class and sophistication to the property.
The expansive backyard features not one but two pools, a swimming pool and a unique reflecting pool, embodying the essence of Tadao Ando’s signature style, providing plenty of room for the power couple’s three children to run around and play.
Also, don’t overlook the parking situation. Aerial photographs show a large driveway and garage, providing ample space for the couple’s alleged US$29 million convertible Rolls-Royce.
Beyoncé’s spectacular 57-concert Renaissance World Tour, from which she is expected to earn an amazing US$2,000,000,000, must make her long for the simple elegance of her home.
With such a magnificent mansion at their disposal, Beyoncé and Jay-Z have proven they are unrivaled in the realms of both music and luxury real estate. The Carters’ existence is the definition of a dream come true, as they manage to maintain both a successful singing career and a lavish way of life.
