ON THE MOVE
Beyonce and Jay-Z At $190,000,000, the Tadao Ando-designed residence recently purchased by Beyonce and Jay-Z ranks as the most ever paid for a California home and the second most expensive American house. The 40,000-square-foot mansion sits on eight acres above Paradise Cove on “Billionaire’s Row” and enjoys unobstructed Pacific Ocean and coastline views along with direct access to the beach. Originally owned and built by art collector William Bell to display his extensive collection, the home took 7,645 cubic yards of concrete and 15 years to complete.
