Photos: Jay And Bey Rumored To Be Scoping Out This Ridiculous $85 Million Mansion In Beverly Hills
Rumors indicate American power couple Jay Z and Beyonce could be moving to Beverly Hills.
Jay Z and Beyonce (and Blue Ivy) were living in L.A. over the summer, renting a mansion in the Holmby Hills for $200,000/month, and according to TMZ, they looked at an $85 million megamansion at 1181 N. Hillcrest Road in Beverly Hills twice during this time.
How luxurious is this place? Well, it's 23,000 square feet for one. That's taken up by eight bedrooms, 15 bathrooms and a 24-seat movie theatre. There's also an underground garage for 16 cars and an infinity pool. But that's not all.
Just look at this video. There's a motorcycle staged in the house for some reason, and a wine cellar and showers that could probably fit a jury.

There's also some kind of car showroom that spins luxury vehicles 360 degrees, a collection of weaponry, a wall of candy dispensers and a gym, for after the candy eating.
We're not sure how this squares with the divorce rumors or the Illuminati's plans for a New World Order.
