    Inside Jeff Bezos’s $700 Million Residential Property Portfolio

    by

    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.

    D.C. Digs

    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.

      A 51st-Floor ‘Sky Mansion’ With a Home Theater in Miami Can Be Yours for $24 Million

      by

      A sky-high condo in an award-winning residential tower is up for grabs in Miami. Perched on the 51st floor of Zaha Hadid’s One Thousand Museum in the downtown area, the full-floor residence spans over 10,000 square feet with five bedrooms and panoramic views of the city skyline, Biscayne Bay, and Atlantic Ocean. Late Market America founder and socialite James Ridinger and his wife, Loren, bought the place for $18.5 million in 2021. Hedgie Ken Griffin and David and Victoria Beckham own sprawling units, but Ridinger’s home is currently the largest available in the tower.

      Loren Ridinger, the current Market America CEO and a bestselling author, gave People an inside look at the epic residence this past February, shortly after it arrived on the market with its $24 million price tag. Seth Semilof of HL Real Estate Group, which facilitated the couple’s original purchase of the home, holds the listing exclusively. 

      The great room includes seated wet bar and open views.

      Legendary Productions

      One Thousand Museum was completed in 2019, stands 62 stories tall, and features a concrete exoskeleton with a web of flowing lines that provide structural support. Doormen greet you downstairs in the spectacular lobby before taking the elevator up to the what marketing materials describe as the “sky mansion,” just one of 10 full floor residences in the building. 

      Decorative wallpaper opposite black walls in the foyer allow blue skies to pop at the end of the hall. Further in, soaring ceilings add to the airiness while a wall of floor-to-ceiling glass lets in an abundance of natural light. Motorized window treatments aid in heat and light modulation.

      Curtains help baffle sound in the plush home theater.

      Legendary Productions

      A seated wet bar and a 1,200-square-foot patio are highlights of the main living area. Wide corridors trailing throughout the home are also noteworthy when considering their expansive walls, which are perfect for hanging blue-chip art and family photographs. A gourmet kitchen, formal dining area, and office also take up space, along with dedicated staff quarters and a curtained home theater. The best views of downtown are found in the primary suite, though, where the marble-clad bathroom with a steam shower and soaking tub are featured next to breathtaking vistas.

      Other perks afforded to residents of the tower include access to an aquatic center, spa, sky lounge, and rooftop helipad. White-glove services at the property opposite Museum Park further sweeten the deal, alongside its proximity to new art and science museums. 

      Records show Ridinger has also long owned two side-by-side estates on a serpentine Miami Beach street known for its high-profile residents, and she and her late husband previously owned a $20 million condo in New York’s Chelsea before relocating to a larger home in Greenwich, Connecticut, which they listed for $7.49 million in 2019.

      An Opulent Miami Mansion Once Rented by Marc Anthony Can Now Be Yours for $19.5 Million

      by

      If this tropical South Florida estate looks fit for a salsa superstar, that’s because it is. According to listing agents Saddy Abaunza Delgado and Valeria Kelly with ONE Sotheby’s International Realty, Grammy-winning artist Marc Anthony once leased the palatial Coral Gables property that’s now up for sale for a speck under $20 million. Records show the stately mansion near Miami has been on and off the rental market since at least 2011 with asking prices ranging from $29,000 to a whopping $45,000 per month. The last time it was listed on the open market in 2017, the digs were seeking a cool $7.5 million. 

      Nestled within the guard-gated Tahiti Beach Island in Cocoplum, a neighborhood known for housing stars such as Cher, Shaggy, and NBA Hall-of-Famer Ray Allen, the grand residence takes after the work of 16th-century Venetian architect Andrea Palladio. Merging the classical with the modern, the 9,440-square-foot home features soaring double-height ceilings, both marble and oak flooring, and a recently renovated chef’s kitchen that’s decked out with granite countertops, plus a butler’s pantry for extra storage. 

      The living room has a trio of massive arched windows that extend to the double-height coffered ceiling.

      1 OAK Studios

      Altogether, the airy abode comprises six bedrooms and six-and-a-half bathrooms across its two floors. It also has a media room, a private gym, and a finished basement space that can be used as a game area. Outdoors, a heated in-ground swimming pool, a lounge area, and a barbecue station are positioned around a landscaped lot that’s just shy of an acre. 

      While not technically a private island, the buzzy Tahiti Beach enclave has just one entrance and consists of less than 30 homes, more than half of them with direct water frontage, as well as a residents-only beach with no public access. The community itself offers tons of leisure amenities such as a private club and clubhouse. You’ll also find multiple tennis courts, a yacht club, and 24-hour security.

      There’s a fireplace and ornate crown moldings.

      1 OAK Studios

      In addition to renting, Anthony owned another waterfront estate in Coral Gables’s Cocoplum neighborhood, which he purchased in 2018 for $19 million from rum heiress Hilda Maria Bacardi. Dubbed Villa Costanera, the house had 12 bedrooms, three kitchens, a wine cellar, and a 100-foot boat dock. Three years later, the Latin crooner offloaded the Mediterranean-inspired spread to investor John Curtius for $22.4 million after initially listing it for $27 million in 2020.

      Months After Selling, a Sleek Miami Mansion Has Popped Back Up for Sale at $20 Million

      by

      Digital marketing guru Jeffrey Herzog didn’t even have time to get properly acquainted with the grass-sculpted lion in the verdant yard of this modern Miami mansion before deciding to flip it back on the market. The ask is just shy of $20 million, which is a whopping $5.7 million more than the Avenue Z chairman and CEO and his wife Jill paid for the swanky place in the affluent Coconut Grove neighborhood just five months ago. Chad Carroll of The Carroll Group at Compass holds the listing.

      Tucked away in a secluded cul-de-sac behind a double-gated circular driveway that leads to an attached two-car garage, the sleek contemporary home was designed by local architect Gabriel Lopez. Completed earlier this year, the creamy stucco and wood-accented structure rests amid an oak tree-laced parcel of land spanning about half an acre and offers seven bedrooms and nine baths spread across a little more than 8,600 square feet of Artefacto-furnished living space on two levels.

      A dramatic spiral staircase flanks one end of the capacious great room.

      Among the highlights is an open-concept great room anchored on one end by a striking spiral staircase. Within that voluminous glass-lined space are two living areas, including one spilling out to a covered entertainment lounge equipped with a built-in barbecue. A formal dining area connects to the gourmet kitchen, which is outfitted with an island/table combo, top-notch appliances, and a wine fridge.

      A cantilevered primary suite on the upper level comes with access to an expansive turf-clad balcony, a bespoke dressing room, and a luxe bath spotlighted by a freestanding soaking tub. A nearby gym and an office both lead out to yet another balcony adorned with a living wall, while the resort-like backyard hosts a pool and spa flanked by a sunken fire pit and a pool house sporting a custom sauna and bath.

      A regal grass-sculpted lion holds court on the tropically inspired grounds next to a waterfall installation.

      Topping it all off is a reflecting pool with an abstract sculpture, as well as the aforementioned topiary-inspired lion resting alongside a cascading waterfall feature.

      In addition to their Coconut Grove home, the Herzogs also own a lakefront residence in the South Florida town of Delray Beach that they picked up in 2018 for around $10.6 million and had on the market for a few months last year at $23 million.

      American Eagle CEO’s Oceanfront South Florida Penthouse Hits the Market for $34 Million

      by

      After a lengthy tenure, Jay Schottenstein has decided to relinquish ownership of his South Florida home on the Miami-area barrier island of Key Biscayne. Records show the billionaire American Eagle Outfitters chairman and CEO is asking a speck under $34 million for his sprawling penthouse at the exclusive beachfront Grand Bay Tower development, with the listing jointly held by Brigitte Nachtigall of ONE Sotheby’s International Realty and Ohad Fisherman of the Fisherman Group.

      Property records show Schottenstein and his wife Jeanie initially paid $5 million for a penthouse atop the 14-story structure in 2007 and subsequently picked up a neighboring penthouse for an undisclosed amount. They then spent the next five years combining the two units, which comprise the northeast and southeast corners of the building.

      Art-friendly walls and built-in display cabinets are prominent in the Geoffrey Bradfield-designed aerie.

Floor-to-ceiling walls of glass and over 3,200 square feet of wraparound terraces also offer sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean, Biscayne Bay, and Miami skyline.

      Other highlights include two private elevator landings and a sprawling living area spotlighted by a mosaic mural. The formal dining room connects to a gourmet kitchen outfitted with dual islands, top-tier stainless appliances, and a breakfast nook, while an opulent primary suite features a luxe bath that comes with a floating spa tub nestled alongside a glass-encased shower.

      French Montana Just Snagged a $22 Million Oceanfront Home in Florida’s Under-the-Radar Golden Beach

      by

      French Montana already owns a suburban Los Angeles mansion he paid NBA star Paul George $8.4 million for in 2020 and then floated for sale last year at $22.7 million before recently removing it from the market. Not to mention a pair of condos in New York and Las Vegas. Now the Moroccan-born rapper and songwriter has decided to plump up his property portfolio again, having doled out $22 million in an off-market deal for an oceanfront villa in South Florida’s ultra-exclusive Golden Beach community north of Miami.

      As first reported by The Real Deal, the seller is Miami-based Glamorous Life Cosmetic Surgery owner Daniel Gonzalez, who picked up the place in 2022 for $19 million and just forked over $34 million for a larger mansion nearby. He picked up the Mediterranean-style spread from retired radio show host Tom Joyner, who undertook an extensive Architectural Digest-featured remodel of the premises during his tenure in collaboration with local architect Wesley Kean and interior designer Deborah Wecselman.

      The 7,300-square-foot home is nestled along Ocean Boulevard and enveloped in tropical greenery.

      Luxhunters

      Secured by walls and gates, the stucco and terracotta-roof structure was completed in 2007 and offers five bedrooms and six baths in a little more than 7,300 square feet of three-level living space boasting elegantly appointed rooms complemented by walls of glass offering sweeping ocean views. Glassy double front doors open into a soaring foyer, which flows to formal living and dining rooms.

      Other highlights include a rear family room that opens to a covered loggia equipped with a barbecue station and an adjacent kitchen outfitted with a central island and a breakfast nook. A curving sculptural staircase heads upstairs, where a posh primary suite occupying the entire floor flaunts an expansive covered balcony with a fireplace, a luxe bath spotlighted by dual vanities and a glass-encased soaking tub and shower, a designer showroom closet, and an office.

      The property is sited between the Intracoastal Waterway and Atlantic Ocean.

      Elsewhere is a subterranean four-car garage with an accompanying fitness center. Outdoors, the Enea-landscaped grounds span over a third of an acre and host a theatrical set of steps leading down to a sundeck-encased pool with a Baja shelf, a cabana, and a grassy lawn abutting a private beach.

      An Instagram Celeb Lists His South Florida House for $4.2 Million

      by

      After three years of ownership, Josh Ostrovsky is ready to offload his coastal oasis in South Florida’s tony Miami Shores enclave, just minutes from downtown Miami. Records show the social media influencer-turned-canned wine mogul—known to his 9.5 million Instagram fans as “The Fat Jewish”—has hoisted the midcentury-modern house up for sale at $4.25 million, or nearly double the $2.5 million he and wife Caitlin King paid for the place a little over three years ago, in summer 2021.

      Originally designed by noted architect Joseph J. DeBrita and completed in 1950, the sprawling white stucco and stone-accented structure rests amid an angled corner parcel spanning nearly half an acre. Recently renovated, the so-called Panorama House offers five bedrooms and an equal number of baths in a little more than 3,800 square feet of two-level living space boasting terrazzo floors and wood-beam ceilings.

      The living room has a stacked-stone fireplace and large windows overlooking the lush grounds.

      Lifestyle Production Group/ONE Sotheby’s International Realty

      Highlights include a living room displaying a stacked-stone fireplace and a bar, plus a dining area with glass doors opening out to a vast hexagon-shaped loggia featuring a newly installed barbecue station. Also standing out is the sleekly designed Italian kitchen outfitted with an eat-in island and top-tier appliances, as well as a primary suite that comes complete with a walk-in closet and a spa-like bath sporting a steam shower and a floating vanity with dual sinks.

      Elsewhere is a separate guest suite, along with a large window-lined flex space that’s currently being used as a screening/recreation room. In addition to the aforementioned loggia, the landscaped grounds also host a 42-foot pool with a Baja shelf. Per the listing, which is shared by George Burns and David Pullman of ONE Sotheby’s International Realty, there’s also a two-car garage and plenty of room for a tennis/pickleball court.

      A sweeping hexagon-shaped loggia out back is ideal for lounging and entertaining.

      Lifestyle Production Group/ONE Sotheby’s International Realty

      According to the New York Post, the couple is selling because Ostrovsky doesn’t want to be a homeowner anymore. “It’s a lot of work, with landscaping and all, and he’s coming from New York and not used to it,” Burns told the media outlet. “Maybe he’ll find another deal. But he’s a very transient person and he could land anywhere after this.” 

      Born in New York City and previously dubbed by Time magazine as one of “The 30 Most Influential People on the Internet,” Ostrovsky is probably best known for his risqué memes and viral videos. But he also co-founded a canned wine brand that was acquired in 2019 by beverage giant Anheuser-Busch in what was the company’s largest wine investment ever made at the time.

      It’s not opening for at least another three years, but JDS Development’s mixed-use residential tower in Miami’s trendy Brickell neighborhood has already snagged a cool new resident. According to the real estate and media firm SERHANT, 32-year-old Florida Panthers hockey star Vladimir Tarasenko has officially skated into Mercedes-Benz Places, adding to a property portfolio that also includes a brand-new $5 million waterfront spread in Fort Lauderdale.
      The recently crowned Stanley Cup champ has purchased one of the 67-story property’s single-bedroom condos, which are filtered across all levels of the building and start at a puck slide under $1.2 million.
      Per marketing materials, open-concept floor plans for those particular units range from 725 square feet to 883 square feet and feature luxe Woods Bagot-designed living space adorned with floor-to-ceiling windows and terraces framing picturesque Biscayne Bay and Atlantic Ocean vistas.
      Additional highlights include private elevator lobbies and spacious great rooms holding combined living and dining areas, which are nestled alongside bespoke kitchens outfitted with black stone countertops and high-end Miele appliances. Grand primary suites also come complete with spa-inspired baths boasting marble vanities and rain showers.

      It’s been barely three years since Caroline Wozniacki and David Lee picked up a Florida penthouse on ultra-exclusive Fisher Island, off the coast of Miami Beach. Now the Danish tennis pro and her former NBA All-Star husband have sold the lofty residence for $37 million—substantially less than the initial $42.5 million ask in January, but still a whopping $18.3 million more than they paid in 2021.
      Dina Goldentayer of Douglas Elliman served as the listing agent and Don Pingaro of Official repped the buyer, which is a Delaware-registered LLC linked to Sandcastle Isle, according to the South Florida Business Journal.
      Occupying the top floor of the Mediterranean-inspired Palazzo Del Sol—a 10-story waterfront luxury condo tower designed by local architect Kobi Karp and completed in 2016—the five-bedroom, six-bath duplex offers 7,000 square feet of revamped living space laced with white oak herringbone floors. Vast walls of glass and 5,000 feet of terrace space also provide sweeping bay and ocean views.

      In addition to an open-concept great room holding a salon, a bar, a TV room, and a formal dining area, there’s also a sleek kitchen sporting an eat-in marble island and top-tier Gaggenau appliances, as well as a wine wall and a screening room flaunting a Bang & Olufsen sound system.

      Back in the mid-1980s, developer and onetime Seattle Seahawks owner Ken Behring commissioned architect Doug Dahlin to create a Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired home for him and his wife Pat in the Oakland suburb of Danville, within the elite gated Blackhawk Country Club community.
      After first hitting the market last summer for just under $25 million, the place long belonging to the now-deceased couple is now going under the gavel with Concierge Auctions. No-reserve bids are expected to start at between $7 million and $11 million.
      Completed in 1988 and known as the Behring Estate, the gated hilltop spread has a total of seven bedrooms and 14 baths spread across nearly 27,000 square feet of Steve Chase-designed living space enhanced with Brazilian teak ceilings, quartz and flagstone finishes, and walls of glass framing mountain vistas.

      Posh creature comforts encompass a plush movie theater and a temperature-controlled wine room and tasting area featured in Wine Spectator magazine. Not to mention a 7,000-square-foot ballroom with a nightclub-style bar, an auto showroom, and crystal chandeliers dangling from a mirrored black ceiling.
      Other standout features include a waterfall-clad entry foyer, a formal living area, a spacious dining room, and a gourmet kitchen and secondary prep kitchen. A sumptuous primary suite is also decked out with a retractable ceiling for stargazing, a fireplace, another full kitchen, a sauna, a steam room, and a “secret” door with access to Kimio Kimura-landscaped grounds containing a pool and spa, a dining pavilion, a tennis court, and koi ponds.
      Private previews of the property are available upon request, with the live auction set to take place on July 18.

      NBA Star Chris Paul’s L.A. Home Bounces on the Market for $16.5 Million

      After almost four years of ownership, Chris Paul (affectionately known as “CP3”) is moving on from his Los Angeles estate. The nearly 1.4-acre spread, tucked away in the heart of Encino, is back on the market for a smidge under $16.5 million.
      The 12-time NBA All-Star—who played for the Golden State Warriors in the 2023–24 season and could soon be a free agent—acquired the modern farmhouse-style home for roughly $11 million back in spring 2020, shortly after it was newly built.
      Resting amid a gated cul-de-sac parcel, the white wood-sided and stone-accented structure has eight bedrooms and 12 baths in 12,830 square feet of two-level living space equipped with dual offices, a glass-encased wine display, and a movie theater.
      There’s also a two-story guesthouse and an open-air cabana with its own bath, along with a gym, a sports court, a saltwater pool, a four-car garage, a generator, and a guard house. More

      Jeff Bezos Just Dropped $90 Million on a Third Indian Creek Island Property

      by

      Jeff Bezos’s South Florida spending spree continues.

      The Amazon founder has splashed out a whopping $90 million in an off-market deal for a third waterfront estate on the coveted Indian Creek Island, Bloomberg reported on Tuesday. According to the outlet, Bezos, who recently landed in third place on Forbes’s ranking of the world’s richest people, will live at the six-bedroom mansion while work is done on the two other properties he previously purchased.

      Tax records reveal that the Blue Origin founder’s new digs were last sold in 1998 for just $2.5 million, which goes to show how much home prices on the guard-gated Billionaire Bunker have skyrocketed. The Real Deal reported that the roughly two-acre spread was originally built in 1956 and later expanded upon in 1986 and once again in 2014. Altogether, the palatial pad features a swimming pool, a boat dock on Biscayne Bay, and 10,000 square feet of living space.

      Last November, the former CEO of Amazon announced in the most modern of ways—on his Instagram—that he was officially relocating from Seattle to Miami, noting that he wanted to be closer to his parents and his fiancée, Lauren Sanchez. “I’ve lived in Seattle longer than I’ve lived anywhere else and have so many amazing memories here,” he captioned the post. “As exciting as the move is, it’s an emotional decision for me. Seattle, you will always have a piece of my heart.”

      Several months earlier, in August 2023, Bezos dropped $68 million in a clandestine, off-market transaction for a three-bedroom, three-bath home on the man-made barrier island. At the time, he was reportedly eyeing the house next door too, and it was only a few months before he worked out another under-the-radar deal to acquire it for $79 million. The existing home, with seven bedrooms, spans more than 19,000 square feet.

      The estate includes a swimming pool, a pool house, a putting green, and a small dock.

      Bezos now owns three of the roughly 40 homes on the 300-acre island, at a cost of nearly a quarter billion dollars—$237 million, to be exact.

      Other notable figures that reside on Indian Creek include Tom Brady, Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump, and investor Carl Icahn. The community, which is connected to the mainland via a short bridge, sports a private 18-hole golf course, and residents have access to the country club.
