3 min readWe’re always curious to peek inside celebrities’ homes, whether it’s Kendrick Lamar’s Brentwood mansion or Gwyneth Paltrow’s Los Angeles estate. With Jay-Z set to headline the 2027 Super Bowl halftime show, we’re turning our attention to the impressive real estate portfolio he shares with Beyoncé (who is no stranger to the halftime stage herself). Over the years, they’ve spent hundreds of millions on their dream homes, often working with notable architects to find hidden gems on both the east and west coasts.
The duo have bought and sold several properties in the last decade or so, including a $10 million midtown Manhattan penthouse. But we’re most interested in the homes they currently own, and we have all the details. Here, find out where the ultimate power couple spends their days.
Malibu
Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s seaside estate is located on an eight-acre bluff that overlooks the Pacific Ocean in the Paradise Cove area nicknamed ’billionaires’ row.’
In 2023, Beyoncé and Jay-Z spent $200 million on a mansion in Malibu, according to TMZ, which went untouched in the recent L.A. fires. The house was designed by renown architect Tadao Ando, whose previous works have been owned by the likes of Kanye West. The 30,000 square-foot compound looks over the Pacific Ocean from the cliffs above, and features Ando’s signature concrete-and-glass construction. Photos of the mansion show a museum-like interior, with floor-to-ceiling windows and several pools.
Bel-Air
Residential houses on the hills in Bel Air neighborhood, Los Angeles, California.
In 2017, the power couple spent $88 million on their Bel-Air home, according to Business Insider. Designed by architect Paul McClean, the nearly 19,000-square-foot mansion is yet another modern masterpiece. The home features eight bedrooms, 15 bathrooms, a 15-car garage, and basketball court, alongside outdoor spaces and several pools. One of the key interior features of the house is a spiral staircase that was carved out of a single piece of wood. The annual taxes alone cost nearly $1 million, Realtor.com reported.
Manhattan
In the ultra-wealthy Tribeca neighborhood of New York, Jay-Z reportedly bought the penthouse apartment in this downtown building in 2004 for $6.8 million. In 2008, this is where the couple got married. The penthouse, located at 195 Hudson Street, reportedly features an elegant balcony. The locale comes with famous neighbors, too: Hailey and Justin Bieber rent in the same building, and Bethenny Frankel is a former resident, according to the Post. A three-bed, 2-bath unit in the building was listed in May, 2024 and sold for $6.6 million, the New York Post reported.
The Hamptons
The Pond House was built by legendary architect Stanford White.
Beyoncé and Jay-Z reportedly spent $25.9 million on an East Hampton compound aptly named the Pond House, which was originally listed at $35.9 million in 2009. Created by legendary architect Stanford White—who built Madison Square Garden in 1891—the palatial Pond House comes in at 12,000 square feet, and features seven bedrooms and nine bathrooms. The old-school classic elements include parquet floors, marble bathtubs, and 18th-century fireplaces. It was built to overlook the Georgica Pond.
New Orleans
While it’s never been publicly confirmed, Jay-Z and Beyoncé are the supposed owners of a Spanish Baroque church-turned-residence in the Garden District. An LLC linked to the couple acquired the property in 2015 and put it up for sale in 2021 for $4.45 million, but it never changed hands.
