Malibu has its latest superstar residents after Beyoncé and Jay-Z spent $200 million on a massive mansion just steps from the Pacific.

The structure was commissioned in 1999 by soap opera legends William and Maria Bell and designed by Japanese architect Tadao Ando. The Bell House, as the developers call it, took 15 years to build.

Ando is currently designing a home with Kanye West, The Chron reported, although the project has stalled and fallen into disrepair.
The purchase of the mansion makes the Carter family the owners of the most expensive home ever sold in the state of California (handling the previous record of $177 million) and the second most expensive real estate deal in the state, TMZ reported.
The most expensive home is a $238 million Central Park penthouse owned by billionaire hedge fund manager Ken Griffin.
