Beyonce and Jay-Z have broken another record, this time with real estate.
The 41-year-old pop superstar and her rapper husband who have a reported combined net worth of US$2.5 billion ($3.98b) reportedly bought the “most expensive home” ever in Hollywood.
The couple are thought to have spent $200 million ($318m) on a 30,000 square-foot (2787sq m) home in the “prime area” of Malibu, in what has been called the “most expensive” house ever sold in California.
A source told TMZ: “The couple paid $200 million for the property, making it the most expensive home ever sold in the entire state of California, eclipsing the previous record of $177 million ($281m). It’s also the second most expensive real estate deal in the country - the top being $238 million ($378m) for an NYC apartment. They got an unbelievable deal. The home was quietly listed for a whopping $295 million ($469m).”
