Call them perfectionists or difficult to impress, but the 53-year-old record executive and his 41-year-old American singer wife spent no less than three years looking for their dream home. They lived in a string of ultra-expensive rentals till they found and zeroed in on their US$88 million newly-built Bel Air estate, per CNBC.

The wealthy couple once lived in a 13,000 sq ft home in New Orleans, which was once a Presbyterian church, with towering 10-metre (26-foot) ceilings and vast windows, according to Love Property.
