Hip-hop’s first billionaire Jay Z has an $88 million possession with wife Beyonce that makes Michael Jordan and LeBron James look stingy

Celebrities and athletes tend to spend their earnings on things they wanted growing up, and at other times they just spend on the weird stuff just because they can. From Lady Gaga’s ghost detector, to Beyonce’s diamond-encrusted barbie doll for her daughter, to Paris Hilton’s $300,000 dog mansion, the list goes on.

However, Beyonce also apparently bought a mansion with her husband Jay Z, which could have cost them a fortune. In 2017, rapper Jay-Z and Beyonce bought a multi-million dollar mansion in a residential area of ​​Los Angeles. The couple, who have a combined net worth of $1.16 billion, reportedly bought the $88 million mansion in Bel Air.

Beyonce and Jay Z’s LA mansion costs more than the homes of billionaire NBA legends Michael Jordan and LeBron James

The LA property was purchased by Dean McKillen, who is the son of an Irish billionaire. The mansion has eight bedrooms, 11 bathrooms, a spa, a garden and a basketball court. The colossal 30,000 square foot house contains six structures and has bulletproof glass windows. The property also has staff accommodation and a huge garage.

The Carters reportedly took out a $52.8 million mortgage to purchase the Bel Air residence, which would be paid off over 30 years with an interest rate of 4%.

Nonetheless, $88 million for a mansion is definitely a huge sum of money. In comparison, even the richest NBA players dared not spend such fortunes on a house. The highest paid NBA player right now is Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry. His estimated earnings for the 2022-23 season would be $48.07 million. Additionally, the Warriors player owns a mansion that is half the price of the Carters mansion.

Likewise, Los Angeles Lakers great LeBron James, who was recently mentioned in Forbes as a billionaire, owns a mansion worth $38 million in Beverly Hills. While fellow billionaire and former Chicago Bulls legend Michael Jordan owns a $19 million mansion on a 56,000 square foot property in Chicago.
