Word on the street is that even Jay Z and Beyonce pay rent.

It looks like Jay Z and Beyonce leased an ultra-modern Holmby Hills, California, mansion for a month-long stay over the summer, according to Variety.

It's hard to imagine a house suitable for these two celebs, but this one seems to fit the fab bill. The three-level contemporary estate has floor-to-ceiling windows, offering panoramic views of the surrounding area. The home also has a luxurious living room with 20-foot-high ceilings and glass walls, prime for any fabulous night of entertaining. Other impressive amenities include a custom-tiled infinity pool, landscaped gardens, outdoor kitchen and a tennis court.

So, what's the rent for an uber-luxe 16,000-square-foot home like this one? Variety says that Jay and Bey paid a cool $200K for their retreat at the resort-like property. No big deal.

The seven-bedroom, 8.5-bathroom home was built this year and was listed back in May for a whopping $45 million. According to property records, the home was taken off the market just a few days ago.

Diddy splashed out some serious cash this week for a home in Holmby Hills, California.

In an off-market deal, Sean John Combs, aka Diddy, picked up a newly constructed estate for $40 million, according to the L.A. Times.

There is plenty of room to host any number of guests at his new crib, which has eight bedrooms and 11 bathrooms and spans 17,000 square feet. Maybe the Grammy Award-winning artist will invite some of his noteworthy neighbors to one of his parties; some of the locals include Napster cofounder Sean Parker and Hugh Hefner over at the Playboy Mansion.

The $40 million price tag probably didn't hurt Diddy's bank account too badly; this year, Forbes estimated the rapper's net worth to be $700 million.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are looking to ditch their digs.

The famous duo is aiming to unload some real estate, according to Variety. The couple scooped up the property back in 2013 for $9 million, and after extensive renovations they are now looking to get $11 million for the abode in an off-market sale.

The Tuscan Mediterranean estate has five bedrooms and seven bathrooms, which would have been plenty of space for baby No. 2. The gorgeous manse is bursting with character and detail, with beamed ceilings, leaded windows and black walnut parquet flooring. There is also a living room with a cathedral ceiling and a stone fireplace, perfect for hosting guests. An elevator goes to the second floor of the home, which has a master suite complete with balconies and picturesque views. The gated estate is located in the community of Bel Air Crest, California.

Kimye, good luck on the sale of the home and on trying to give North West a baby brother or sister!
