It’s Nice to Have Options…and Here’s Why jay zee And beyonce is keeping his $100 million Bel-Air mansion, despite only spending $200 million in a landmark purchase.
As crazy as it sounds … the brand new Malibu pad will serve as a weekend home — in a sense — at least for a while, sources close to the couple told TMZ. We’ve been told the Bel-Air house, bought Still “home” for $88 million in 2017… close to the kids’ schools and friends.
Eventually, our sources say, Jay-Z wants to move his family to the Malibu estate full-time… but hasn’t indicated whether that shift will also include selling Bel-Air.
TMZ uncovers the couple’s story paid $200 million for the 30,000-square-foot mansion, setting a record for the most expensive home ever sold in the state of California. It sits on 8 acres on the Pacific Ocean in the Paradise Cove area… aka Billionaires Row.
Is it even surprising… Our sources tell us that the previous owner and builder of the house, William BellOne of the world’s largest art collections, housed a $1 billion art collection.
