Enjoy.

19. I kinda think Beyonce and Jay-Z aren't part of the Ruling Class

[mcar]

2. I saw what you did

[obamanut2012]

4. I think it has six separate residences on the property...

...a helipad, giant parking facility, bullet-proof windows, prolly recording/film production studios and screening room(s), etc.

Plus pools. And other cool shit.

I could live without the pools and the helipad.

I guess I could always add the helipad back if I had to.

5. And probably living areas for employees

And offices/studios, like you said. Jay-Z is a producer, so that makes sense.

7. He's a partner in a restaurant in the west village and they had

A cool studio and office above it. My friends saw him hanging there. ;-/

6. Heh.

9. I remember Kelly Anne saying the second Hillary and Jay-Z hugged on stage the election was clinched.

Lyndon Johnson once said he could get any white man's vote if he could point out a black man doing better than him.

10. Resentment of wealth is never a good political strategy

Fram your tax policy around what people NEED, not around what thwy should HAVE.

[obamanut2012]

17. Yeah, esp when the people who have the money are allies

And giving folks huge amounts of money.

[Not Ruth]

11. That is 2 this week

[obamanut2012]

18. hahaha

[kentuck]

13. Any statues?

[obamanut2012]

15. One of Beyonce on a horse in her Superbowl dress

I actually hope that is true!

[mythology]

14. I'm just confused as to how one would effectively use a $90 million dollar house

At some point it seems like buying more to buy more. Granted I'm that way with books, but I can't imagine any combination of things I would want in a house that would make it worth $90 million dollars.

Congrats to them on having that type of bank given that they are actual creators. Too often the middleman gets most of the wealth not the people making stuff.

16. Like Taylor Swift, they handle tehir own money and businesses

Which is smart. Oprah does to an extent, too.

I think it's probably more an estate than a house, which office outbuildings and such. I hope they have more than one Dyson!
