Beyoncé

Jay-Z

<p>As prices on essentially everything continue to rise, it&#8217;s becoming abundantly obvious that the working class is fed up with rich people. Exuberant displays of wealth no longer tantalize the masses in the way they used to. Instead, the world prefers to hear about celebrities giving up their wealth to charity, and stepping out of their bubbles of fame and fortune to remember what life is like for the majority of the population. Earlier this month it was not only announced that <a href="/profile/Beyonce" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Beyonce</a> could earn <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/673295-beyonce-renaissance-tour-earnings-report">upwards of $2 billion in ticket sales</a> from her <em>RENAISSANCE</em> World Tour, but also that she and Jay-Z made history by purchasing the most expensive mansion in California history – in cash.</p>



<p>Obviously, members of the BeyHive were as pleased to hear of their favourite singer&#8217;s continued success as ever. Elsewhere on social media, others have been expressing feelings of disgust over the displays of mass spending, which arguably could be put toward more humanitarian efforts than another mansion for the Carters. &#8220;[Who] cares, people can barely afford their rent. No one is happy for them,&#8221; one Twitter user declared after hearing the news earlier this week.</p>

<p>&#8220;The house isn&#8217;t even pretty from the outside, not to mention no one needs a home that darn big,&#8221; someone else pointed out. &#8220;Donate to charities, feed the poor children, help the homeless&#8230; This is all for show,&#8221; they suggested. Others shared their opinions that the couple bought the home to help them during tax time, proving how money savvy they&#8217;ve become throughout their careers. </p>



<p>Aside from those ranting about Bey and Jay keeping their cash to themselves, others are simply annoyed that a home which looks so plain from the outside could cost $200M. &#8220;Looks like a concrete prison. I guess there’s no accounting for taste,&#8221; one critic wrote. &#8220;The only thing that looks good is the ocean,&#8221; another added, admiring the view.</p>
