Jeff Bezos, the world’s second-richest man, has drawn attention for his ever-growing collection of private homes that spans some of the most coveted locales in the country. From a secluded compound in Maui to a sprawling Beverly Hills estate and a historic mansion in Washington, D.C., the Amazon founder has assembled a real estate empire as curated as it is colossal. His most recent acquisition, a $90 million waterfront spread on Miami’s ultra-exclusive Indian Creek Island that he shares with his partner Lauren Sánchez, adds another gleaming jewel to his already-crowded trophy property crown.
And while his holdings on land are nothing short of staggering, they’re only part of the story. Don’t forget that Bezos’s appetite for the exceptional extends offshore, with Koru, his $500 million, 417-foot sailing yacht, and Abeona, the $75 million, 250-foot support vessel that follows in its wake. Keep reading for a deep dive into Bezos’s splashy property portfolio.
Indian Creek Island Compound
Since mid-2023, the billionaire has quietly amassed a serious footprint on Florida’s Indian Creek Island, a.k.a. the Billionaire Bunker, where neighbors include the likes of Tom Brady and Ivanka Trump. With three lavish waterfront estates on the guard-gated island now under his purview, Bezos seems to be crafting the ultimate tropical compound. All told, Bezos has dropped $234 million on the island.
It all started in late June of 2023, when Bezos scooped up a $68 million fixer-upper estate. The 2.8-acre property is anchored by an L-shaped modernist mansion, originally built in 1965 and offering 9,259 square feet of living space with three bedrooms and three bathrooms. Outside, there’s a pool and a dock.

Bezos struck again just a few months later, in October 2023, when he purchased an adjacent estate for a cool $79 million. Built in 2000, the roughly 19,000-square-foot residence channels Mediterranean grandeur with its seven bedrooms, 14 bathrooms, and richly appointed interiors—think marble flooring, vaulted ceilings, a sweeping staircase, and a Tuscan-style kitchen. Reports at the time suggested the property-mad entrepreneur might demolish the mansion (and the one next door!) to make way for a custom-built mega-mansion.
Shortly after these big buys, Bezos confirmed in an Instagram post that he was officially relocating from Seattle to Miami, citing his desire to be closer to his parents and to share the sun-soaked lifestyle with Sánchez. And, his South Florida real estate ambitions didn’t stop there. In June 2024, Bezos expanded his Indian Creek Island holdings with an $87 million off-market deal for a 12,000-square-foot abode with six bedrooms and nine bathrooms, styled in classic Floridian fashion with red-tiled roofs, generous balconies, and manicured grounds. The 1.8-acre waterfront property also features a guesthouse and a resort-worthy swimming pool.
Beverly Hills Mansions
Several years before he went on his Miami shopping spree, Bezos made headlines on the Left Coast, in Beverly Hills, with a pair of high-profile buys in 2020. The larger of his digs in the 90210, which he acquired in April 2020 for a record-setting $165 million, is downright epic with deep ties to Hollywood.
Set on 10 manicured acres, records indicate the Georgian-style mansion spans around 14,000 square feet with eight bedrooms and nine bathrooms. Across the lavish grounds are two guest houses, a tennis court atop a parking structure, a swimming pool, a nursery, and a nine-hole golf course. There’s even a gas station. Perhaps most intriguing: the home’s antique wood floors are said to be the same ones Napoleon stood on when proposing to Empress Joséphine.
It was just a few months later, in July, that Bezos expanded his BevHills holdings with the $10 million purchase of an adjacent home. Though far more modest at 4,615 square feet, the four-bedroom, five-bath residence oozes charm, with six fireplaces, French doors, and lush rose gardens.

While there has been an influx of UHNWIs to Washington, D.C., over the last couple of years, Bezos set his sights on the nation’s capital in 2016. And he didn’t settle for just any D.C. address. He went straight for one of the city’s most historically significant properties—the former Textile Museum in the exclusive Kalorama neighborhood.
In October 2016, about three years after he paid $250 million for the Washington Post, Bezos dropped $23 million on the sprawling 26,900-square-foot behemoth, which then had 10 bedrooms and 14 bathrooms across two side-by-side structures built in 1914. The Washington Post reported that he planned to merge the buildings into one private residence for family visits to the capital. By 2018, Bezos was reportedly planning a $12 million renovation, complete with a lavish garden room, and he debuted the revamped space with a star-studded soirée in early 2020.
And because one mansion wasn’t quite enough, Bezos bought the house across the street in January 2020, paying $5 million for the 4,785-square-foot residence. The four-bedroom, six-bath home is rumored to have been acquired for privacy and security reasons, offering the ultimate billionaire buffer zone.
Medina, Washington Estates
Before Bezos began collecting trophy homes across the country, he put down substantial roots in Medina, Washington, the serene, lakefront enclave outside of Seattle that’s also home to Bill Gates. The Blue Origin founder made his first Medina purchase in 1998, dropping $10 million for a 5.3-acre waterfront compound with two homes totaling over 21,000 square feet, with nine bedrooms, eight bathrooms, a boathouse, and 310 feet of Lake Washington shoreline. In 2010, he reportedly invested $28 million in renovations.
As it turns out, buying the house next door is old hat for Bezos. Also in 2010, he acquired the adjacent 25,460-square-foot La Haye mansion for $45 million. The Tudor-style residence, originally listed at $53 million, comprises six bedrooms, nine baths, and both indoor and outdoor pools.
He owned another home in Medina until 2025, when he took in $63 million on the sale of a 9,240-square-foot waterfront home he bought in 2019 for $37.5 million. The sale marks the highest amount ever paid for a private home in the state of Washington.

Bezos has maintained a foothold in the Big Apple since at least the late 1990s. In 1999 he quietly purchased three contiguous units at the Century on Central Park West for $7.65 million from music mogul Tommy Mottola. At the time, the condos were mid-renovation, but Bezos saw the potential. Spread over two floors, the combined units offered over 4,400 square feet of living space. In 2012, he added a fourth unit, a 1,725-square-foot apartment, for $5.3 million.
In 2019, he set his sights downtown, scooping up a three-story penthouse and two additional floors at 212 Fifth Avenue, just off Madison Square Park, for a total of $81 million. The purchase included a grand ballroom, a seven-room primary suite, and expansive views. He later acquired two more units, one in 2020 and the other in 2021, bringing his total investment in the building to $120 million with nearly 25,000 square feet of living space across the five units—essentially a vertical mansion in the heart of Manhattan.
Hawaii Hideout
Bezos took his love for luxurious escapes to new heights (and distances) when he purchased a $78 million compound on Maui, setting a new record for the priciest home on the island. Near Kihei, the secluded property spans 14 acres along La Perouse Bay. The property was never listed publicly, so details remain slim, but the property reportedly features multiple buildings, including a 4,500-square-foot main house and a 1,700-square-foot guest house, both designed in the charming Hawaiian plantation style, with wood-clad exteriors and expansive decks. An outdoor kitchen and dining area create the perfect space for entertaining against the backdrop of the stunning bay views, while a swimming pool overlooks the estate’s private white sand beach.
