A Short History of Jay Z and Beyonce’s Lavish Real Estate Life
Just when you think Jay Z and Beyonce have got it all, “big ends, condos, collecting cars,” they are off looking at a new beach home in Hawaii or a swanky penthouse in New York. Since 2002, the couple has splurged on properties of all sizes, from a 190-square-foot cabana in Miami to a 65,000-square-foot mansion in East Hampton. As they pad-hop from Pacific paradises to big city lofts, Beyonce and Jay Z add more living space to their lavish lives, crossing homes that once housed Cher, Ricky Martin, Michael Jackson, and Madonna.
This awesome twosome may be producing an album together. That would indeed be a treat for their fans worldwide.
It’s hard to keep up with Jay Z and Beyonce’s property interests when they are fluttering between beachfront nirvana and Columbus Circle.
To make things easier, we’ve chronicled A Short History of Jay Z and Beyonce’s Lavish Real Estate Life.
Jay Z’s Stash Spot at 560 State Street
Location: Brooklyn
Price: $870,000
Square footage: 1,045 square feet
When Jay Z dropped “Empire State of Mind” in 2009, he revealed the location of his old “stash spot” during his days as a hustler:
I used to cop in Harlem, all of my Dominicanos
Right there up on Broadway, pull me back to that McDonald’s
Took it to my stash spot, 560 State Street
Catch me in the kitchen like a Simmons with them pastries.
Vulture followed up on this clue and found out that Jay lived in apartment 10B between 1996 and 1997. Recently, the adjacent apartment went on sale, and now it looks like a homey two-bedroom duplex with wooden floors, white walls, and stainless steel appliances. Stash spot, no more.

Jay Z and Damon Dash caused a stir on the East End in the summer of 1999 when they rented this 25,000-square-foot mecca for two weekends.
