Grammy-winning couple JAY-Z and Beyoncé are going through some tough times with the Los Angeles real estate market. New reports claim the parents of three are still on the prowl for their $75 million dream home.
According to new gossip buzz, the Carters are staying put in a $400,000 monthly Malibu mansion through August with hopes of finding a permanent place sooner than later.
We’re told their budget is around $75 million, give or take a few mil. It sounds nuts, but they can’t find a place they love for the amount they’re willing to spend. As one well-connected source puts it, “They want a super baller, crazy estate, and the ones they love are going for $150 mil.” Our sources say the Carters have seen just about everything that’s on the market and nothing in their price range is floating their boat.

Outside of home searching, Young Hov recently penned an open letter about the American criminal justice system.
“The power of one voice is strong, but when it comes to social justice, the power of our collective voices is unstoppable. Now is the time to recognize that through our voices we really can effect change. Some of us will do the important work locally at the micro level to awaken our neighbors. Some of us will work for progress regionally. And a few of us will be like Kalief Browder, a modern-day prophet whose death two years ago started a discussion that continues today about how poor, black juveniles are treated in the criminal justice system.” (The Hollywood Reporter)
JAY also explained how his recent Time: The Kalief Browder Story documentary helped encourage dialogue but wants to really make the wheels turn for actual change to happen.
“My hope is for my next documentary, Rest in Power: The Trayvon Martin Story, to create a similar conversation that leads to change and helps keep our children safe. And it’s an honor to have the support of Trayvon’s family in telling the story. But social justice isn’t a political issue. It’s a human issue. It’s a story of empathy. When we are able to identify that we are all not perfect and have compassion for someone else, we can move forward as a society. Look around at what’s happening in your town and your city right now. Think small, and you can do much bigger things.” (The Hollywood Reporter)
Earlier this month, buzz developed about JAY feeling inspired to help bail out dads for this past Father’s Day.
This must be some rich folk problems because a poor man like me is thinking: Y’ALL ARE RICH ENOUGH TO BUILD YOUR OWN!! My only guess is they are trying to save money and get a good home on the market for a crazy mark down. 75 milli though that’s chump change and I’ll make the hell out of my dream home with that LOL
