Beyoncé and Jay-Z's record-breaking $200 million cash purchase of California's most expensive home sparked mixed reactions on social media. 

The couple's acquisition, one of the priciest in the nation, drew attention to the Malibu mansion's predominantly concrete construction. 

Despite its stunning location and panoramic view of the Pacific Ocean from a cliffside perch, fans expressed disappointment with the property's boxy design and monotonous materials, labeling it as "sterile" and "ugly." 

Additional criticism from some social media users who questioned their decision to spend a staggering amount of money on the lavish property, especially in a time when many less affluent Americans are grappling with financial hardships and the challenges of rising inflation. 

A scathing comment on Twitter likened the mansion's appearance to that of a warehouse in an industrial park, emphasizing the perceived lack of aesthetic appeal. 

The structure's boxy design and long rectangular corridors, reminiscent of shipping containers, further contributed to the negative sentiment expressed by online critics. 

Beyoncé and Jay-Z's monochromatic mansion drew comparisons to somber settings, evoking associations with darker places according to some social media users. 

Observations were made that the property bore a resemblance to a "prison," possibly attributed to its angular design and absence of vibrant colors.

 Some social media users couldn't resist injecting humor into the discussion surrounding Beyoncé and Jay-Z's mansion purchase. 

One person playfully suggested that buying a prison might have been a more budget-friendly option, adding a lighthearted remark about potential cost savings. 

Another individual jokingly highlighted the mansion's sterile ambiance, quipping that "Ain't nobody gonna catch a cold in that house 'cause it is sterile!" 

The squarish design and segmented layout of the compound drew comparisons to the popular video game Minecraft, known for its intentionally blocky characters and environments.

 A user with a frugal mindset humorously boasted that they could replicate the mansion in Minecraft for a mere $20 and 37 minutes of their time.

 These tongue-in-cheek comments reflect the light-hearted banter and creative connections made by internet users in response to the mansion's distinctive features and appearance.
