Celebrity Real Estate: Beyoncé and Jay-Z Lease Mansion in Ritzy Holmby Hills

What can you get for $200,000 in spare change these days?

You can get a ticket on Virgin Galactic—the world’s first commercial passenger spaceship—and do the “final frontier” thing.

You can buy 10 pounds of Sevruga caviar (although you’ll probably have to order some crackers or Bugles to go with).

You could buy a Bentley—they’re actually only about $177,000, but you must pay tax and title … and have a little left over to pick up a Happy Meal or some such fare.

Or you could lease a house—a really BIG house—in Los Angeles for a month.

According to the folks at Variety, that’s just what Beyoncé and Jay-Z have done.

(The house, if you wanted to buy it outright, is listed for sale for a mere $45 million, and it’s been on the market since May. But why not rent it for a few weeks to take it for a “test run” first, right?)

For their $200,000—we wonder what the security deposit is on this lease—Jay-Z and Beyoncé get 6,500 square feet of living space and seven bedroom suites.

The master complex—because this isn’t just a simple suite, it’s a complex—has a cavernous bedroom, two offices, a bathroom and a half bath, three walk-in closets, and your own veranda … terrace … lanai … balcony.

You get the point.

The ultra-modern manse, located in Holmby Hills, is a cantilevered behemoth of a place with multiple-tiered patios and terraces, an infinity-edge pool with an integrated spa, a grass tennis court, a fully tricked-out fitness room, a high-end home theater (bring your own popcorn and Junior Mints), and a wine cellar.

After Beyoncé and Jay-Z have completed their rental agreement, you can take up residence for a few weeks or more by asking the fine people at The Agency—they’re the brokers of record on the home and are the people in the know.

As for the most powerful of entertainment-industry power couples, rumor has it they’re working on a joint album, following the raging success of their hit “Drunk In Love”. The two lovebirds, while vacationing in France last month, also renewed their wedding vows.

Ain’t love grand? Or in this case … two-hundred grand?
