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

Just because you're rolling in money doesn't mean house hunting is always easy. Just ask power couple Beyoncé and Jay-Z who spent over 3 years looking for their dream home, only to settle on an $80 million dollar modern mansion. These days they live in the posh Bel Air, Los Angeles and it's just as magical as you would expect. Their palace is made of steel, glass and limestone and offers over 30,000 square feet of space along with features like 4 swimming pools. We're gonna take a look at where the pair calls home and you will want to miss a look at their 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. Beyoncé and Jay-Z are a force to be reckoned with and the star couple definitely embodies success in its highest form. As a singer, songwriter and actress, Bey has not only changed pop music, but used her status to speak up for important issues. Her husband of 13 years, Jay-Z is just as successful in not only his music career, but also being a businessman, record executive and much more. The two have been crazy in love since 2001 and aside from their 3 children, they've also built an empire together, being worth a combined $1 billion or more. Needless to say, Beyoncé and Jay-Z have lived in some spectacular homes over the years, with their current one being the most jaw-dropping of them all. Hey guys, it's Kara the Vampire Slayer back with another exclusive house tour here on Famous Entertainment, this one looking at where Jay-Z and Beyoncé call home.

As always, you can follow me over on Instagram if you'd like to chat, and now let's get into this video. It took Jay-Z and Beyoncé years to find their current dream home. In 2014, the couple lost out on a $70 million Beverly Hills mansion, being outbid by the creator of Minecraft, Marcus Persson, and later, they lost out on another nearby mansion. Finally, in summer of 2017, the power couple would score their current residence, a contemporary-style, spec-built Bel Air mansion. While the asking price was at a whopping $120 million, Bey and Jay were able to snag it for $88 million, 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 it was immediately torn down and replaced with the uber modern estate that sits in its place. Jay-Z and Beyoncé's property is more like a compound, encompassing six buildings, multiple pools, separate staff quarters, and plenty more features. Altogether, the structures make up a combined 30,000 square feet of living space or so, and the estate is a smart home, equipped with all of the latest tech features. For example, all it takes is the push of a button to open 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, Beyoncé 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 the home has an infinity pool and plenty of green space, while the one below you can access by Travertine Town's 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 also 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 home open to reveal over 10,000 square feet of outdoor living space and terraces as well, for the ultimate indoor-outdoor vibe. You wouldn't expect Bey and Jay to have anything but the best in their kitchen. 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 floor-to-ceiling glass with killer views. 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 in a separate shower. The bathrooms are definitely high-end, many with Calcutta 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 even touching them. Looking at Jay-Z and Beyoncé's media room or home theater, it has all of 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. 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. Either way, there's a wall-mounted electric fireplace here, and of course, some more retractable glass walls leading out to a private terrace. Additional features in the mansion include a library office, a space for a recording studio and a spa fitness suite, with gym, hot tub, sauna and his and hers steam rooms. As I mentioned, the amenities continue on the grounds, the basketball court, garage space for up to 15 cars, separate staff quarters and those 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 some downtime here with their kids whenever they get the opportunity. While the mansion has a formal sitting room, Bey and Jay 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 her wardrobe while getting ready for red carpet events. It's decked out with wooden floors and cream walls, as well as a huge floor-to-ceiling mirror framed with warm light bulbs. 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 dream residence with their own touches. When Jay and Bey want 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. This estate cost them just under $26 million, and it's situated on two 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, it spans 12,000 square feet of space. The main home boasts seven beds and nine baths, while there's 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 Geoffrey Collet, and he rotated the entire abode by 90 degrees so the living room would face the lake. Geoffrey was also responsible for a bunch of decorative features inside as well, like the white oak paneling, the hand-carved marble tub, and the hand-pegged parquet de Versailles floors, which just sound fancy. Throughout the estate, there are actually a bunch of 18th-century Louis XIV-carved stone fireplaces, lead window panes, and vaulted ceilings, all of which add character. Beyoncé and Jay-Z's Hamptons home also boasts a double-height entrance hall and living room, both with two-story windows and paneled oakwood 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. With that, we've checked out where Beyoncé and Jay-Z call home, so that brings us to the end of our house tour. I gotta say the power couple has one of the most unique and modern homes I've seen. Not to mention the place is absolutely massive and has not one, but four pools. I mean, really? I love a pool as much or more than the next guy, but how can you make use of one on every level? Either way, what did you guys like best about their Bel Air compound? Or what did you not like? Their house is something else, but I personally like a more classic home with character, and I honestly prefer the Pond House mansion in the Hamptons. Anyone else agree?
