If you had any doubt that rapper and entrepreneur Jay Z and singer and songwriter Beyoncé live an outrageously glamorous life, look no further than the colossal Holmby Hills home the power couple is reportedly looking at buying.
Built on one of the most prestigious – expensive and celebrity-filled streets on the planet, the 38,000-square-foot mansion is on the market for $150 million.
The 10-bedroom, 20-bathroom home sits on the former site of singer and songwriter Barbra Streisand’s estate and across from singer and actor Frank Sinatra’s old digs. Past neighbourhood inhabitants have included celebrity royalty such as singer and songwriter Michael Jackson, actress and model Marilyn Monroe, entrepreneur and animator Walt Disney, and musician and actor Elvis Presley over the years, so Queen Bey and Jay Z would fit right in.
As for the home’s five-star amenities, the master suite is bigger than even the grandest city apartment at 5,300 square feet and includes a luxurious heated covered patio. There’s a full day spa outfitted with a nail salon, beauty parlour, massage room, steam room, and even a zen water wall that flows into an indoor lap pool. The couple would be able to host lavish get-togethers in the lounge, wine room, and movie theatre complex that comes complete with its own separate valet entrance. A 10-car garage is supplemented by a driveway that can accommodate up to 50 cars. And for recreation and exercise, there are basketball and tennis courts and a private hiking trail. We bet Blue Ivy would love exploring the 2.17-acre grounds.
We hope the sale goes through for the long-time house-hunting couple, who are rumoured to have lost not one but two houses; the first, a modern mega mansion, to Minecraft creator Markus Persson and the second, a spectacular Hollywood Regency estate, to fashion designer Tom Ford.
