This is called "thinking big." Beyoncé and Jay-Z have acquired yet another villa, but not just any one: it is the most expensive in California. Located in Malibu, this residence of 3700 square meters made the Knowles-Carter pay no less than 200 million dollars (185 million euros) - a record - even though the initial price was around 300 million dollars (277 million euros).
The couple signed the transaction with a certain William Bell Jr., son of William Bell, producer behind the soap opera The Fires of Love (1973) and Love, Glory and Beauty (1987), and art collector. The building, moreover, stands out as the perfect showcase of his countless works gleaned over time.

Contemporary style
Tadao Ando, a Japanese architect who received the prestigious Pritzker Prize in 1995, designed the project.

Three hectares, a breathtaking view of the Pacific Ocean, a refined and bright style... An exceptional environment in which the children of the two artists - Blue Ivy, 11, and Rumi and Sir, 5 - will grow up in the fresh air.
