Beyonce and Jay-Z's 200M Malibu mega mansion
In 2023, a remarkable milestone was reached in California's real estate market as Beyoncé and Jay-Z acquired this magnificent mega-mansion for a staggering $200 million, shattering the state's previous price record. Spanning an impressive area of nearly 40,000 square feet, the residence demanded a substantial amount of 7,645 cubic yards of concrete, as confirmed by Morley Construction Co., the contractor overseeing the project.

Originally purchased in 2003 for a the sum of $14.5 million by art collectors William Bell and Maria Arena Bell, the property underwent an extraordinary transformation over the course of 15 years. With a vision to enhance its architectural grandeur, the former owners commissioned the renowned Japanese architect Tadao Ando, recipient of the prestigious Pritzker Prize, to spearhead the endeavor. Under his skilled guidance, the mansion evolved into a masterpiece characterized by a fusion of minimalistic concrete and glass elements, boasting expansive hallways and an open floor plan.
