BEYONCE AND JAY-Z – $88 MILLION, LOS ANGELES

This celebrity power couple, whose collective net worth exceeds a billion dollars, became a part of history (somewhat) by making one of the most expensive real estate purchases in the history of Los Angeles. When we say it’s one of the most expensive, we mean exactly that: the purchase was for an $88-million mega-mansion with its own spa, wellness facility, and top-of-the-line home security system (with bulletproof glass doors). Suffice to say that the new owners are billionaires, so you can use your imagination.

The mansion has a spacious terrace, numerous sun bathing platforms and four swimming pools, which make up the house’s nearly two acre garden. The custom house has 8 bedrooms and 11 bathrooms, as well as eye-catching architectural staircases made of dark wood and Italian limestone. There is also a complete basketball court, a spa and separate staff quarters, as well as a secure garage for 15 cars and a media room.
