The priciest pad in California’s history….

On the move.

Beyoncé and Jay-Z have dropped a whopping $200 million on an expansive estate in Malibu, according to TMZ and Architectural Digest, officially making it the most expensive home ever purchased in California. 

The price tag smashes the previous record of the $177 million that Netscape co-founder Marc Andreessen paid for his Malibu home in 2021. Before that, Jeff Bezos’ $160 million purchase of his Beverly Hills home in 2020 held the record.

The outlets report that the deal—which was closed all cash—is also the second most expensive in the history of U.S. real estate, as a New York City apartment previously sold for $238 million.
