\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n Beyonce<\/strong><\/a> and Jay-Z<\/strong><\/a> set a record back in May 2023 for the most expensive home purchased in the state of California!<\/p>\n The music power couple bought a 40,000 square foot home in Malibu that is set on eight acres of land, according to TMZ<\/a>. While the home was initially on sale for around $295 million, the seller seemingly decided to take a lower offer. <\/p>\n The previous largest sale in California was $177 million, but this sale was still far away from the biggest real estate deal in the United States. That record goes to the $238 million New York City apartment sold by hedge fund manager Ken Griffin<\/strong>, who has a net worth of $35 billion.<\/p>\n Art collector William Bell<\/strong> originally purchased the Malibu property in 2003 for $14.5 million and spent 15 years redesigning it. <\/p>\n Photos from inside the house have not been made available, but there are aerial shots that you can see in the gallery!<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p><\/div>\n
