With their recent $200 million mega home purchase in Malibu, Beyoncé and Jay-Z broke a record. According to TMZ, it's the second most expensive real estate transaction in the nation and the most costly mansion ever sold in California.
Tadao Ando, a renowned Japanese architect, created the 8-acre concrete complex, which is located in the exclusive Paradise Cove neighborhood and overlooks the Pacific Ocean. Due to the fact that Bill and Maria Bell, modern art collectors, commissioned the 40,000 square foot mansion more than ten years ago, it also serves as an art museum. Given that the celebrities' private art collection is rumored to be rather spectacular, it is not surprising that they visited the home.
It took over 15 years to complete the Malibu project.
