Beyonce & Jay Z | House Tour | $88 Million Bel Air Mansion & More

Beyonce's life is full of glitz and glamour and no doubt continues to be like that when the cameras stop rolling. Take her and Jay Z's family home in Bel Air for instance. This $90 million dollar property marked the highest selling transaction in the LA area when the couple bought it back in 2017. The massive and opulent interiors, which include 8 bedrooms, a spa, staff quarters, 4 pools and much more, no doubt reflect that jaw dropping price tag that only someone like Queen B would afford. While it took the high profile couple some time to find their perfect estate, once they did they never looked back. The palace where they live with their 3 children is constructed of steel, glass and limestone and offers over 30,000 square feet of space. And you'll want to see this insane fortress. In these videos we don't reveal any addresses and even though I've done a house tour of my own place, please do not show up at any private residences because it's not safe for anyone. It took Jay Z and Beyonce years to find their current dream home. In 2014 the couple lost out on a $70 million dollar Beverly Hills mansion being outbid by the creator of Minecraft, Marcus Pearson. And later they lost out on another nearby mansion. But finally, in summer of 2017 the power couple would score their current residence, a contemporary style spec built Bel Air mansion. While asking price was at a whopping $120 million dollars, B and J were able to snag it for $88 million dollars, which at this point is looking like a discount. It's a true trophy home that shows just how successful this couple really is. The 1.88 acre property actually included a 9,000 square foot colonial revival mansion when it was last purchased in 2013. But this was immediately torn down and replaced with the uber modern estate that sits in its place. Jay Z and Beyonce's property is more like a compound, encompassing 6 buildings, multiple pools, separate staff quarters, and plenty more outdoor features. Altogether the structures make up a combined 30,000 square feet of living space or so, and the estate is a smart home too, equipped with all of the latest tech features. All it takes is a push of the button to open up the glass walls. Safety isn't an issue here either, with features like bulletproof windows, and the entire place is situated behind massive iron gates. While the mansion was stacked with everything you could need and more, reportedly the couple spent an additional $750K on changes like adding a backup generator and another living area under the many pools. Located near Bel Air's East Gate, Beyonce and Jay Z's home is in a posh neighborhood, and there are 8 bedrooms and 11 bathrooms throughout. Aerial views show how large and impressive it is, and we can see the backyard is divided into different levels. A level right off of the home has an infinity pool and plenty of green space, while the one below you can access by travertine-tiled stairs. Up on the roof you'll find one of the pools, which probably has the best view of all, and it's said the huge white space at the top is a helipad. It's said that the architect of the home, Paul McLean, loves long, skinny pools like these ones, and we can see that especially in the pool on the second level. The boutique hotel-sized home offers panoramic city views, and inside the multiple floors are linked together with an amazing circular staircase lined with butter-soft leather. In fact, the sculptural stairs were allegedly carved using a single piece of wood before being lined with dark brown leather, while the steps are made of limestone. Automatic glass walls throughout the mansion open up to reveal over 10,000 square feet of outdoor living space and terraces, as well as for the ultimate indoor-outdoor vibe. You wouldn't expect B&J to have anything but the best in their kitchen, either. While the home was still under construction, the builder installed top-of-the-line appliances, and we can see there are two large islands that were custom-made in Italy. The nearby living room has a wall-sized marble fireplace, and of course, that Florida-ceiling glass with killer views. In terms of the dining room, British Vogue's editor-in-chief Edward Ennifel had the privilege of joining Beyoncé for dinner once at the home, writing in the July 2022 issue of his rare encounter around the superstar's dining table. He wrote, I'm a little stunned at how relaxed it all is. Going on to share that her home was impressively minimalist, with acres of white walls, gleaming glass, and beautiful art. A luxe bathroom on an upper level of the mansion has views right into the trees, as well as a massive soaking tub perfect for the couple to unwind, and a separate shower. The bathrooms are definitely high-end, many with cacata marble floors and limestone sinks. This bathroom has a tankless toilet that's environmentally friendly, while all of the wall-mounted toilets in their home can be opened, closed, and flushed without touching them. Looking at Jay-Z and Beyoncé's media room or home theater, it has all the best EV equipment, with plush furnishings to unwind while enjoying the show. There's recessed lighting, a massive screen, and a door that's rumored to be covered in lizard skin. I mean, if that's true, that sounds kinda mean. While we can see photos of a sprawling room referred to as the master suite, we can assume the couple has switched up the space since moving in. There's a wall-mounted electric fireplace, and of course, some more retractable glass walls leading out to a private terrace. Additional features in the mansion include a library office, space for a recording studio and a spa, fitness suite with gym, hot tub, sauna, and his and her steam rooms. As I mentioned, the amenities continue on the grounds, with a basketball court, garage space for up to 15 cars, separate staff quarters, and four pools. Beyoncé has given glimpses of their epic palace on Instagram, including the backyard. We can see the clean aesthetic with black marble walls and neutral-colored stone floors. We can imagine the couple enjoys downtime here with their kids when they get the opportunity. While the mansion has a formal sitting room, B and J also have a family room that's more laid back. It boasts mahogany hardwood floors, an abstract rug, fireplace, and a cute caricature of the singer. Elsewhere, of course, Beyoncé also has a stunning walk-in wardrobe to keep all of her designer looks. She's shared a look inside of her wardrobe while getting ready for red carpet events. It's decked out with wooden floors and cream walls, as well as huge floor-to-ceiling mirrors framed with warm light bulbs. The pristine dressing room also features a cream velvet sofa at the other side, as well as floor-to-ceiling windows with lightweight curtains in a matching shade. Since moving in, the couple has also filled their home with artwork that reflects their style and personality, and it appears they have a good eye. Altogether, Beyoncé and Jay-Z have worked hard to transform this mega-home into their When the family wants to get away to the East Coast, they have a beautiful retreat in the Hamptons to escape to. The pair had their sights set here for a while after renting many upscale vacation homes in the area, finally purchasing their own estate in 2017 called Pond House. The estate cost them just under $26 million, and it's situated on 2 acres of land with 203 feet of direct waterfront. The couple's beautiful property is in the East Hamptons on the shores of Georgica Pond, right next to a 17-acre meadow preserve, and inside, the mansion spans 12,000 square feet of space. The main home boasts 7 beds and 9 baths, while there is an additional 1,800-square-foot guest cottage, complete with two beds, a bathroom, living area, and kitchen. The Pond House was designed by Stanford White in 2008, before being renovated more recently by Jeffrey Kolei, and he rotated the entire abode by 90 degrees so the living room would face the lake. That sounds like a lot of work just to move the house. Jeffrey was also responsible for a bunch of decorative features inside as well, like the white oak panels, the hand-carved marble tub, and the hand-pegged parquet de Versailles floors. Those just sound fancy. Throughout the estate, there are a bunch of 18th-century Louis XIV-carved stone fireplaces, lead window panes, and vaulted ceilings which all add character. Basically, compared to their main house in LA, it seems like a completely different style. Beyoncé and Gigi's Hamptons home also boasts a double-height entrance hall and living room, both with two-story windows and paneled oak wood walls. Other goodies in this mansion include heated marble bathtubs, a Turkish limestone wraparound terrace, and even more to offer outside. Here, you'll find an infinity-edge pool and spa on the pond side of the property, as well as an outdoor grilling area. Alright folks, well, now we've looked at Beyoncé and Gigi's mansion, so I think that's going to conclude today's house tour. But before you head out, consider answering the following question for me. Would you prefer an at-home spa setup to kick back and relax, or top-of-the-line sports court in your backyard to get your blood pumping if you could only choose one? I know Beyoncé and Jay-Z have both, but if you could only choose one, would you be practicing self-care or using your amenities on active and sporty fun? I'm gonna take the spa.
