The most expensive real estate deal, however, was made by hedge fund giant Ken Griffin in 2019 when he bought an apartment in Central Park in New York City for $238 million.

According to Daily Mail, Beyonce plans on finishing her Renaissance World Tour and returning to her new luxury home located on the 8-acre bluff adjacent to the Pacific Ocean in the Paradise Cove area also known as the Billionaire's Row.
