It’s an exciting time for superstar Beyoncé. The Grammy winner recently released her hotly anticipated eighth studio album, “Cowboy Carter.”
The country album with 27 tracks is already breaking streaming records on Spotify and Amazon Music.
In addition to being one of the most successful music artists of our time, Beyoncé is also experiencing a real estate “renaissance.”
We take a look at her flawless collection of properties—from a record-shattering concrete compound in California to a sweet Hamptons estate right on the water.
Magnificent Malibu mansion
Beyoncé and husband JAY Z went all out when they dropped $190 million (yes, you read that number right) on a massive seven-bedroom estate in Malibu, CA, in May.
The 5.9-acre property right off the Pacific Coast Highway set a record for the most expensive home sale in California history.
The property in the Paradise Cove neighborhood previously changed hands in 2003 for $14,500,140. It reportedly was quietly shopped around with a $295 million price tag when the megawatt couple purchased it.
The concrete compound was designed by Tadao Ando and took over 15 years to build. Ando also built a smaller concrete home in Malibu that Kanye West picked up in 2021 for $57.25 million.
The 40,000-square-foot main home the Carters purchased was built for art collector William Bell and comes with a private beach.
The concrete compound has over 40,000 square feet of living space in the main residence alone.

Palatial Hamptons ‘Pond House’
Every major celebrity needs at least one Hamptons house.
In 2017, Beyoncé paid $25.9 million for an East Hampton estate succinctly named the “Pond House.” The 1.9-acre property sits on Georgica Pond and comes with over 200 feet of water frontage.
This seven-bedroom, nine-bathroom home offers over 12,000 square feet of living space. Built in 2008, it features parquet de Versailles flooring, 18th-century French Louis XV–carved stone fireplaces, and hand-carved heated marble bathtubs.
Out back there’s an 1,800-square-foot guesthouse and a 45-foot-long infinity pool. The property is adjacent to a 17-acre meadow preserve belonging to the Nature Conservancy.
The estate was initially listed in 2009 for $39.5 million. By 2017, the price had been reduced to $28,950,000. So, the A-lister snagged a bargain in an area not noted for discount shopping.

Bel-Air beauty
2017 was a busy year for the Carter family.
They bought an 18,778-square-foot Bel-Air mansion for $88 million.
Designed by architect Paul McClean, the ultramodern compound comprises six sprawling structures. Built on spec, the fabulous design took the place of a dated (and subsequently demolished) mansion that was sold in 2013 for $15 million.
The spread features eight bedrooms and 11 bathrooms, plus a media room, four outdoor swimming pools, patios and terraces, and a 15-car garage.
Post-purchase, the couple installed an array of security features as well as living quarters for security guards.
The duo supposedly still own the home, which is said to have annual property taxes totaling over $1 million.

Converted New Orleans church
Beyoncé got creative in 2015 when she was rumored to have bought a 13,292-square-foot former church in New Orleans.
Now a mansion called “La Casa de Castille” in the city’s Historic Garden District, it features seven bedrooms and eight bathrooms.
There are oversized arched windows, a claw-foot tub, a floating staircase, and soaring ceilings. The spacious main house and three apartments can comfortably accommodate a family and then some.
Built in the 1920s, the three-story structure has had many past lives—including as a ballet school.

Empire state of mind
Beyoncé and JAY Z also own a marvelous $6.8 million condo in Manhattan’s Tribeca neighborhood. It’s in a seven-story pre-war building with just 27 units.
JAY Z purchased this pad in 2004. With over 8,300 square feet of living space and a 3,000-square-foot terrace, the downtown property was the perfect backdrop for the couple’s private 2008 wedding.

According to public records, she purchased the high-floor apartment in 2005 for just over $5 million, then sold it in 2017 for $9,950,000.
The corner unit features city views, a sleek kitchen, and dark hardwood floors.
