What is the new “Cha‑Ching” series and why are the hosts launching it now?
Yeah it is Nick and Jack here from the T-Boy Studio for something special that we've never done before.
As you know, we're on vacation for the next two weeks. We'll be back Monday, August 31st.
That's right, but in the meantime, we've been cooking up a special new series, ultimately meant for YouTube. A new YouTube video series about the number one thing you DM us about. Money
and investing.
So Jack and I created a new concept that reveals the money secrets behind the world's biggest stars. And it's called the best
cha-ching yet. Or Cha-Ching for short. Can you push the button, please?
Basically, it's like MTV Cribs meets Jim Kramer's Mad Money. That's how you can think of it.
We haven't launched this new show yet. We haven't even finalized the first episodes. So
no polish, no
graphics yet. This is the raw studio cut. And we wanted to share this pilot with you because we care most about your opinion. And we want your thoughts because we respect your thoughts. You're with us every day. So in spirit of it.
able always be launching everything. This week we will drop our first episodes right here on this feed before hard launching the new series on YouTube. And we'd love to hear what you think about this in the comments. Let 'em rip. Jack, now that we sprinkle on the context to this sneak peek, it's less than 10 minutes long, so let's hit it. Here's the world premiere of the best cha chain yet. Beyonce and Jay-Z are worth a combined four billion bucks and just bought the most expensive home in California history. But why do they have a mortgage? Oh not just a mortgage, a $53 million, 30-year mortgage.
Oh wait, they actually took out a second mortgage on that same home.
Why did Beyoncé and Jay‑Z take out a $53 M first‑mortgage on their $88 M Bel‑Air home?
Oh boy. Bringing the total mortgage debt to $110 million. Holy halo. Did America's hip-hop royalty fall off the throne? What's going on here?
No, they haven't. In fact, we'll tell you the secret reason why Beyonce and Jay-Z took on so much debt and why you might want it too. And it's all hidden in their record-setting $88 million Bel Air home.
Four pools, a fifteen car garage, thirty thousand square feet with a kitchen big enough for their own no boom. Oh yeah. Their epic H to the his house features one financial trick shot that you can actually use.
And by the end of this video, you'll know the difference between good debt and bad debt and how mortgage debt can help you get rich. Because
Jay-Z
made
a Yankee hat more famous than a Yankee hand, but he won't brush the debt off his shoulder.
Yetis, this is the best ching yet, where we reveal the money secrets of the world's most famous stars.
And today we'll tell you what Beyonce and Jay-Z taught us about getting a mortgage.
Beyonce and Jay-Z are the first power couple of hip-hop, the Cleopatra and Julius Caesar of Songs. And if Jay-Z really has 99 problems, remembering which key is for which house is about seven of them. Yeah, because he and Beyonce have a Manhattan Penthouse, a Hamptons Pondhouse, a Spanish-broke church-turned residence in New Orleans, and a 58-acre plot just outside London. Plus enough
California real estate to split off and create a 51st state.
Totally, Jack. But that $88 million they dropped in 2017 on their Bel Air compound in lovely Los Angeles, it's 200 times pricier than the average house in America.
Yet that was apparently their starter home, because their bigger splurge was $200 million for a Malibu
pad, a short drive up the coast. Not too shabby. Oh, and that mansion, it set the record as most expensive home purchase in Cali history. But let's open the door and
Invite ourselves into that Bel-Air home. This McLean architects design compound that took four years to complete because it includes a basketball court, bulletproof glass, and a spiral staircase carved from a single piece of wood.
Jack, you just went full Ryan Sirhand on that description and I love it. Beyonce could have paid for that entire
Home with just one month of her cowboy Carter tour, but she didn't.
How much are the combined mortgage payments and interest costs for the couple?
Nope. Here's why she and Jay put only 40% down, asking Goldman Sachs for a 30-year mortgage to pay for the rest.
