Beyoncé and Jay-Z – Bel Air, $88 Million

There’s no question, Jay-Z and his wife Beyoncé are music royalty. With their hit singles and nearly $1 billion combined net worth, they can afford any mansion in the world. However, like many Americans, the couple actually took out a mortgage. That’s right! Jay-Z and Beyoncé acquired their $88 million Bel Air estate by putting a 40% down payment and financing the rest with a $52.8 million mortgage. So who says celebrities can’t be just like us?

As you might imagine, as the “nobility” of our times, this musical couple’s 23,000-square-foot modern glass-walled house has quite the castle feel. Just to name a few of the features: a full-sized basketball court, wine cellar, wellness center, and a 15-car garage!
