Beyoncé and Jay-Z just took out a massive mortgage on their $88M Los Angeles mansion

New York Post28-07-2025
Even the most powerful couple in music has a mortgage — or two.
Beyoncé and Jay-Z took out a $57.75 million mortgage on their Bel Air mansion in Los Angeles, the Daily Mail reported.
The superstar pair boasts a combined estimated net worth of $3 billion and an impressive real estate portfolio on both coasts, but their massive home in the Bel Air hills remains a family base.

The new 30-year loan from Morgan Stanley's Private Banking Division was taken out in April, according to the Daily Mail. It comes with a 5% interest rate for the first 10 years.
Refinancing isn't foreign to this power couple. The pair borrowed $52.8 million to buy the $88 million home in 2017. Jay-Z and Bey refinanced for the same amount in 2021, the outlet reported.

The sprawling eight-bedroom mansion is made up of six interconnected structures on 2 acres of land. The retreat-like home comes with four outdoor pools, a spa and a wellness center. The famous family can further relax thanks to bulletproof windows.

Living large comes with a large price tag. The Bel Air home racks up an annual property tax bill of more than $1.2 million. Combined with monthly mortgage payments, the pair's estimated monthly spending on the dwelling totals more than $637,000 a month. That monthly till — more than $200,000 the median American home price — doesn't even factor in utilities, maintenance or staff pay.
Mortgages don't always mean money trouble, however. The musical duo's continued success — Beyoncé recently surpassed $400 million on her 32-date Cowboy Carter tour — is certainly not in question. The bold real-estate move may simply give the couple extra cash for other investments that will help offset high interest rates.

When it comes to real estate, Beyoncé and Jay-Z are nothing if not bold. The parents of three famously shelled out $200 million in cash on a mammoth Malibu home in 2023. The deal broke California's state record for the most expensive home.
The controversial concrete property was designed by Tadao Ando, the same Pritzker Prize-winning architect that designed Kanye West's former beachfront Malibu home.
Beyond California, Beyoncé and Jay-Z count a $6.85 million Tribeca penthouse and a $26 million East Hampton estate among their multiple holdings.

How Seth Rogen pulled double duty with ‘The Studio' and ‘Platonic': ‘Hard work pays off'

Seth Rogen doesn't take his job lightly. The star, 43, was so invested in both of his Apple TV+ shows that he pulled double duty while filming. Rogen currently stars as Matt Remick in the Emmy-nominated dark comedy, 'The Studio,' and also portrays Will on the dramedy series, 'Platonic.' 11 Luke Macfarlane attends the season two premiere of 'Platonic.' Apple TV+ via Getty Images His 'Platonic' co-star, Luke Macfarlane, revealed how the actor was able to pull it off. 'Going into season two, you know, Seth had just finished filming 'The Studio,'' he exclusively told The Post. 'So we were very curious what 'The Studio' was going to turn into. And now, of course, we know what 'The Studio' turned into.' Macfarlane, 45, added, 'It is this incredible, brilliant, beautiful show. That he was, by the way, working on while he was filming Season 1 of 'Platonic.' Which is also, just as an actor, an incredible sort of reminder that hard work can pay off.' 11 Luke Macfarlane talks to Alexandra Bellusci of the Post. 11 Seth Rogen in 'The Studio.' The Hallmark star reminisced about how Rogen would juggle both roles at the same time. 'He was literally finishing scenes on 'Platonic' and going in his trailer and typing away,' continued Macfarlane. 'So it's delightful to come back and do a second season of the show. I think we all had a tremendous amount of time. It also feels like a lot of people that enjoy working together, and getting to work together again.' Looking back at filming the second season, one memory in particular has stuck with the 'Bros' vet. 11 Seth Rogen as Matt Remick in 'The Studio.' Apple+ 'Seth really respects what everyone does,' Macfarlane said. 'You know, Seth did an amazing thing once, actually. Somebody on set who kind of shouldn't have said this told me to do something.' He explained, 'I was wearing a lav, a microphone, and I brought my hand to my lav, and I covered the lav in the scene. And somebody said something to me like, 'Oh, don't do that with your hand, you'll cover your lav.'' Rogen made sure that was the end of stepping in where you shouldn't. 11 Luke Macfarlane in 'Platonic.' 'And Seth actually said to that person, 'Don't tell an actor what to do. That's not your job,'' Macfarlane shared. 'Just watching somebody look out for his fellow actors – that's what he does.' 'He's got integrity,' Macfarlane gushed. 'He knows how to look out for his actors. He really cares about an actor feeling comfortable.' Rogen also made sure to keep the laughs coming. 11 Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne in 'Platonic.' 'Seth is very famous for a lot of things. I think he's really famous for that laugh, you know?' Macfarlane mused. 'And I will say, working with Seth, you always want to get him to do that laugh. It makes you very happy when you make Seth laugh. So I will say the most Seth Rogen thing you can get him to do is laugh.' Rogen wasn't the only one who hit Macfarlane's funny bone. 'Rose makes me laugh a lot,' he dished about his on-screen wife. 'I think we're filming a scene where I was, like, popping in and out of a doorway, and of course, the timing was hilarious. So we were just making each other laugh because I felt like I kept on missing the entrance.' 11 Luke Macfarlane, Rose Byrne, and Seth Rogen speak at Apple's 'Platonic' Los Angeles event. Getty Images for Today at Apple 'It's something early in the season where I'm sort of like, you know, doing the sticking my head [in], and I just kept on sticking my head in at the wrong time. So that made us both laugh quite a bit.' These days, the Canadian hunk is focused on bringing Season 2 to the masses. 'Platonic' follows former best friends, Sylvia (Byrne) and Will (Rogen), who reconnect after a years-long rift. The second season drops on Wednesday, August 6, with Macfarlane describing what fans are in store for. 11 Carla Gallo, Luke Macfarlane, Rose Byrne and Seth Rogen. Getty Images 'Friendship, chaos, and comedy,' he stated. Macfarlane's Charlie, meanwhile, is trying to navigate his partner's reignited friendship. 'This second season is different for my character, because in the first season, my character is the rock,' he detailed. 'This season, he's definitely the character that is, oof, a little bit sort of lost. Lost in the weeds. So it was fun to kind of explore this other side of him where he's a little bit more sort of floundering in the universe.' 11 Seth Rogan in a scene from 'The Studio.' Apple+ But Macfarlane is happy to step back into Charlie's shoes for such a hilarious and sweet series. After all, he is 'most comfortable [in] comedy.' 'I get to wear sort of the most normal clothes,' elaborated Macfarlane. 'I like doing comedy. That's what I feel the most comfortable in.' 11 Seth Rogan looks upset in a scene from 'The Studio.' Apple+ Rogen is serving all sorts of comedy playing Remick – the newly appointed head of Continental Studios. He is juggling corporate demands, talent, and his own ambitions, all while trying to keep movies relevant. In June, Rogen opened up about what he wanted to portray with the show, which many people in the industry have related to in a very real way. 'I mean, I don't know if our specific goal was to trigger a trauma in people,' he told The Playlist, 'but it was meant to capture our own experiences with it as viscerally as possible. And that was a word we used a lot.' 11 A still from the 2025 drama 'The Studio.' 'So yeah,' he went on. 'I think the idea that people who have experienced similar things have a visceral reaction to it, I think it does mean that it is a good expression of our experience and what we were trying to put out there.' Rogen noted: 'But yeah, it's based on a lot of traumatic things I've experienced, so…'

Trump tells European leaders he'll continue Russia talks through in-person meetings with Putin

The New York Times previously reported on the plan for the meeting, which the Times said will occur as soon as next week. The German official did not provide any details on the timing of the planned meetings. The White House has not confirmed such a proposal was outlined with the European leaders. Earlier Wednesday, White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt said Trump remained open to the prospect of meeting with Putin, but declined to say whether such a proposal was outlined in the phone call. Putin met with Trump's special envoy Steve Witkoff in Moscow earlier Wednesday and Trump described that three-hour meeting at the Kremlin as 'highly productive.' It's unclear what the planned meeting with Putin means for Trump's Friday deadline for imposing sanctions against countries who purchase Russian energy – which he has said he will do to punish Moscow if it doesn't make more progress towards a peaceful end to the war in Ukraine. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the European leaders' call. Trump pledged to end the war in Ukraine 'on day one' of his second presidency. But Russia has stymied peace talks, infuriating both Ukrainian and American negotiators by continuing to conduct airstrikes on civilian targets in Ukraine. Trump threatened in July to impose hefty new sanctions and secondary measures to punish the Russian economy, targeting oil sales that have allowed it to stay economically afloat despite becoming a global economic pariah since the invasion.

Pat McAfee goes off on ‘bum ass suits at ESPN' while praising $1.6 billion WWE deal

Not everyone with the WWE has glowing things to say about ESPN. Former wrestling commentator and current ESPN host Pat McAfee called out some of the mid-level 'suits' as bums after the announcement on Wednesday that WWE and the network are teaming up on a deal to broadcast the promotion's premium live events. 'Congrats to the @WWE and @espn on getting a historic PLE deal done,' McAfee said in a post on X. 4 Pat McAfee figures to see his role only grow in the coming months with this latest move bringing WWE to ESPN. Icon Sportswire via Getty Images 4 John Cena defended his WWE Worlds title against Cody Rhodes at Met Life Stadium on August 3, 2025. George Napolitano / 'Great to see 2 powerhouses of sports and entertainment come together. I assume all the mid-level, powerless, bum ass suits at ESPN will attempt to muddy this somehow (out of context leaks/ignorant anonymous opinions/etc.) but, in the end.. this agreement will outlive the dinosaurs currently guarding desks in Bristol and this deal will be great for ESPN. Cheers to the future.' The deal, which will run for five years and is worth $1.6 billion, will allow ESPN to broadcast WWE events such as WrestleMania, SummerSlam and the Royal Rumble as part of its new direct-to-consumer service that launches later this month. 4 Triple-H and the WWE will be on ESPN programming. WWE via Getty Images 4 Norby Williamson Getty Images McAfee, who stepped back from his WWE commentator duties earlier this year due to his busy schedule, has previously had issues with ESPN executives, with him accusing Norby Williamson of trying to 'sabotage' his eponymous show in 2024. Williamson was the company's executive editor and head of event and studio production. McAfee went hard after Williamson, who left ESPN in January, on multiple occasions, even saying 'I don't got a motherf–king boss' last February. ESPN and McAfee have been business partners since September 2023, when the former NFL punter inked a five-year $85 million deal.
