Here's a good one. My "Playboy in Arms" recently purchased a condo in the Time Warner Center. My Hollywood real estate lady tells me J Hov spent close to $15 million for the 76th floor unit that's equipped with four bedrooms, six bathrooms and a private terrace. I guess he got tired of renting the joint for $40 grand a month. Go figure.
But wait, there's more "Jigga Man get money off real estate" news. Shawn recently broke ground on renovating his Tribeca 7th floor luxury penthouse. You know the loft that he tried to but from Peter Arnell two years ago - only to have the other residents balla block on him buy trying to sabotage the transaction by warning of Jay-Z's "criminal record and ... lifestyle of knives, guns and violence." That loft. Well Arnell didn't like being hated on and decided to sic his corporate blood hounds (lawyers, dummy) on the hating old people.
After the gray clouds cleared, the Def Jam man of the year bought the place in September 2004, for about $7 million. My Hollywood real estate lady also informs me that is also Jay is spending close to $20 million fixing up the place, which boasts 3,000 square feet of terraces. And Jay, don't think I don't know about that Fort Lee, N.J., penthouse you like to tuck yourself away in.
Jay's having the time of his life: spending money and popping tags, celebrity girlfriend, spending more money, drinking champagne, chilling at the 40/40 and making money off artists like Peedi Crack and Kanye West.
Three words: Streets is watching.
And speaking of jobs, I hate working. I even wrote a commentary about why I hate working. Click here to read the beautiful words transcribed by EbenGregory as he poignantly discusses why he doesn't like to work.
