Their Mediterranean-style villa (one of only 35 homes on the island) was built in 1991 and boasted seven bedrooms and eight bathrooms, plus its own private boat dock.

Out back, patios lead to a swimming pool, cabana and a flat, grassy lawn perched on a cliff overlooking the beach below. The colossal concrete compound sits on 8 acres of pristine land off the Southern California coast and has its own private beach, swimming pool, and a water feature in addition to the 40,000 square foot residence. The Bel Air mansion was designed by Paul McClean, the same architect who built the $88 million estate Beyoncé and Jay-Z bought in 2017. McClean's contemporary homes have also sold to the Winklevoss twins, Calvin Klein, and Swedish DJ Avicii.

Because the home was listed privately, it’s not known how many bedrooms and bathrooms are inside or the types of amenities—but we can only imagine the home’s features are fit for the couple’s extravagant tastes. The calming retreat is both simple and tranquil—surely a respite from both of the musician’s busy lifestyle. Knowles is currently in Europe on her Renaissance World Tour, which is estimated to rake in nearly $2 billion. Just this year, she claimed the title for the most Grammy wins of all time.

The kitchen cabinets were custom made in Italy and designed by the architect with contemporary living in mind. Consider this estate a "smart" home, utilizing the latest features in technology to deliver both convenience and safety. The alarm system is described as "intense," not to mention the bullet-proof windows. There are multiple water features on the property, including a set of "floating trees" near the entry.

It also marks another feather in the cap for the affluent enclave of Paradise Cove, which has emerged as one of the most valuable stretches of land in the entire country. Rumors about the property have swirled for years, with several Reddit users likening the monolithic design to a supervillain’s lair. Instead, it was quietly offered at $295 million as a pocket listing, which means it was shown only to a select group of qualified buyers. The most expensive home is a $238 million Central Park penthouse owned by Billionaire hedge-fund manager Ken Griffin. Ando is currently designing a home with Kanye West, The Daily Mail reported, though the project has stalled and fallen into disrepair.
