Grammy Award winning singer Alicia Keys and her husband record producer Swizz Beatz are such big art collectors. In a recent report from tmz.com, the couple decided to sell their current home because the house could not display their prized collection.
The current home is 25,000 square feet and this was not enough to showcase their collections of art from Jean-Michel Basquiat, Andy Warhol, Keith Haring, Ernie Barnes and many other famed artists. The home is located in Englewood NJ, dubbed by Beatz as "Eight Acres of Showtime."
The famed couple had purchased the home back in 2013 from actor Eddie Murphy. The floor area of 25,000 square feet is parlayed into eight (8) bedrooms, its own movie theater, an indoor pool, a bowling alley with two lanes. Other features include a recording studio as well as full gym.
The property is listed at $14.9 million.
The next option for the brood would be building their own home from the ground up.
The power couple can very well afford to build their own home. Kasseem "Swizz Beatz" Dean is a record producer, DJ, rapper and painter with an estimated net worth of $65 million, according to a report from the richest.com. Amongst the acts he has produced are DMX and Eve, as well as Beyonce and Li'l Wayne.
