The contemporary singer can now call the posh residential enclave of Bel Air, Los Angeles home after purchasing his newfound mansion at a whopping $70 million price point. This lavish real estate deal is marked as one of the most expensive sales to take place this year in Los Angeles. The transaction comes mere months after The Weeknd sold his $19.3 million Hidden Hills home to the “Queen of Pop” Madonna.

Prior to The Weeknd’s recent purchase, his newly acquired Bel Air abode was owned by Dutch media mogul Reinout Oerlemans and his wife, competitive cyclist Danielle Oerleman. The couple originally purchased the lavish home in 2015 for a price of $21.4 million. They spent three years renovating the expansive property with the addition of ultramodern amenities and 13,000 square feet of space. Reportedly, the Oerlemans were not interested in selling their glamourous residence before receiving word of The Weeknd’s inquiry. The Williams team represented the sellers in this transaction while Angel Salvador of Beverly Hills Estates represented the buyer.

The luxurious Bel Air property spans 1.6 acres of picturesque land and features approximately 33,000 square feet of ling space. With the Oerlemans’ renovations, the residence has been upgraded from its initial early 2000s aesthetic to a more contemporary look. Distinctive decorative elements of the home consist of orange gloss paint on the living room walls, leather belts repurposed into drawer handles, and office walls lined with wooden sunburst panels. Other luxe amenities include a gym, movie theater, music studio, sauna, hammam, and indoor pool. Stepping outside, the expansive exterior showcases a a sports court, an infinity pool with waterfall, and a dramatic split staircase leading from the upper patio to the lawn which overlooks the beautiful Bel Air Country Club.

Behind The Scenes Of Beyoncé And Jay-Z’s New Album And Multimillion Dollar Mansions

Suzanne Dooley — Wed, 11 Jul 2018 12:04:36 +0000

This summer is hot and so are the music moguls, Beyoncé and Jay-Z. The legendary couple’s recent collaborative album, Everything Is Love, hit the gilded music streets in that much-loved Carter style: an over-the-top video that illustrates devotion to artwork and opulence. Everything is, indeed, love for this super couple.

The video is set in the Louvre Museum and features the Queen B and Jay-Z posing amongst art masterpieces: Winged Victory of Samothrace, the Mona Lisa and Napoleon’s coronation. The paintings and sculptures that are filmed, often in alluring detail, span over thousands of years, and focus upon, amongst other things, power, beauty and eminence.

Beyond showcasing the artwork, the video also provides a virtual tour of the Louvre, from the glass pyramid in its courtyard, to the ornate and spectacular ceiling panels. And it seems it was no coincidence that this video about venerable living was filmed around the time the power couple was reported to seal a deal and purchase an $88 million mansion in Bel Air and a $26 million estate in East Hampton, New York.

Both of these ultra-modern compounds reportedly purchased by the hip-hop couple are works of art in themselves – iconic, architectural beauties in their own real estate right.

$26 Million East Hampton Mansion

This mega mansion is the Palace of Versailles in East Hampton. The property includes water access to Georgica Pond and is nearby a 17-acre meadow preserve.

The monolithic compound itself is a fortress, a Louvre of its own.

Includes a sculptured stone staircase that leads to more luxury: Luis V and Goyard trunks all in the closet.

This New York masterpiece has seven bedrooms, eight bathrooms and spans 12,000 square feet. It also offers a separate 1800-square-foot guest house that has two bedrooms. It's gotta be special, and it is.

The features of this real estate showstopper are massive and loosely mirror the awe-inspiring massiveness found in the Louvre. This home itself is classical art that has come to life in a brand new context: the Carter context. Each and every aspect of this mansion is a choreographed step in the timeless dance of two lovers who savor the beauty, bounty and boldness of big living.

The leading couple is slowing down the dance to a different type of speed. American royalty speed.

$88 Million Bel Air Mansion

The Hampton mansion owned by the leading couple isn’t the couple’s only recent real estate purchase. It's been reported that they purchased a 30,000-square-foot estate on the West Coast In Bel Air for $88 million — the most expensive real estate purchase of 2017 in Los Angeles.
