Tadao Ando seems to be the A-list's new architectural darling. Beyoncé and Jay-Z are the latest to shell out an exorbitant sum of straight cash for one of the Pritzker Prize-winning architect's few residences in the United States. The couple just paid $200 million for a nearly 40,000-square-foot, eight-acre property in Malibu that daytime television producer William Bell and his wife Maria commissioned from Ando in 1999. After building the architect's vision 15 years later, the Bells used it as both a home and gallery for their famed art collection, most notably their collection of Jeff Koons.
