    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.

      Why America’s Billionaire Class Is Snapping Up Prime D.C. Real Estate

      by

      Historically, Washington, D.C., has been where politcos go to make policy. Today, it’s also where the ultra-wealthy go to hobnob with Capitol Hill decision-makers and West Wing movers and shakers. In recent years, a trend has taken shape in the nation’s capital, where everyone from tech billionaires and hedge fund titans to crypto crusaders and cabinet picks is descending on D.C., not just for influence, but for real estate. The result? An unprecedented boom in the District’s ultra-high-end housing market, with multimillion-dollar properties trading hands at a pace and price point that might even raise brows in famously high-cost locales like Beverly Hills and Palm Beach. 

      Mark Zuckerberg is the latest of the world’s wealthiest to secure a residential foothold in the capital, according to Politco. The Meta CEO, who also maintains homes in Hawaii and California’s Bay Area, was recently revealed as the buyer behind a $23 million all-cash purchase in the leafy Massachusetts Avenue Heights neighborhood. The 15,400-square-foot architectural stunner—designed by noted D.C. architect Robert M. Gurney—features five bedrooms, seven-and-a-half baths, two kitchens, and a pool complex fortified by security walls. Located just a quick drive from the White House (or a brisk stroll from Vice President J.D. Vance’s residence at the Naval Observatory), it’s a strategic buy in more ways than one. 

      Mark Zuckerberg dropped $23 million in cash for his new home in D.C. in March 2025.

      Anice Hoachlander

      A Meta spokesperson told The New York Post the acquisition will allow Zuckerberg to “spend more time [in D.C.] as Meta continues the work on policy issues related to American technology leadership.” 

      Zuckerberg joins a growing cohort of ultra-wealthy tech titans and Trump-aligned business leaders reshaping Washington’s high-end housing market. Amazon founder and Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos kicked off the trend back in 2016, scooping up the former Textile Museum in Kalorama for $23 million. The 27,000-square-foot behemoth—once two side-by-side mansions—set the tone for what was to come: a rush of high-net-worth individuals turning D.C.’s historically discreet neighborhoods into billionaire enclaves. It has been widely reported he later shelled out another $5 million for a house directly across the street.

      Then came Peter Thiel. The PayPal co-founder scooped up a $13 million estate on Woodland Drive in 2021, Washingtonian reported. The seller? Former Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross. Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt followed suit, snapping up a storied N Street residence for $15 million. The home was once graced by none other than Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.

      But the tech elite aren’t the only ones moving in. Washington’s new crop of political appointees is bringing their deep pockets and taste for trophy homes. Howard Lutnick, the billionaire CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald and President Trump’s pick for commerce secretary, recently shattered local records with a $25 million purchase of Fox News anchor Bret Baier’s French chateau-style home in Foxhall. Meanwhile, Treasury Secretary nominee Scott Bessent—worth over $700 million, per his financial disclosures—went house-hunting in Georgetown earlier this year. His target became a Federal-style home occupied by Connie Milstein, a former ambassador to Malta, that he acquired for $12.5 million, The Wall Street Journal reported.  

      Howard Lutnick bought Bret Baier’s former Foxhall home for a record $25 million.

      Studio Trejo

      Newcomers to Congress and business-world mainstays are planting roots in proximity to the nation’s great halls of power, too. David Sacks, the “White House AI and Crypto Czar,” picked up a $10.3 million home earlier this year, and nearby, former hedge-fund manager and now Senator David McCormick ponied up $10.5 million for the Georgetown residence of the late attorney C. Boyden Gray, a former ambassador to the European Union.

      As for the ripple effects? Hard to miss. Homes that used to sit on the market are now getting multiple offers. Take one Georgetown mansion, for example—originally listed at $13.95 million. The price did drop to $9.99 million, but it still ended up selling over asking in a bidding war, The WSJ reported. Bottom line: being close to Capitol Hill has never been more desirable—or more expensive.

      A $65 Million Miami Mansion With an Aquarium So Big a Scuba Diver Has to Clean It

      by

      Mr. Helberg is going to Washington. 

      Jacob Helberg, President Trump’s pick for undersecretary of state for growth, energy, and the environment, is putting his bayfront Florida home on the market for a cool $65 million. However, don’t expect to find it listed on the MLS just yet—Helberg is aiming for an off-market deal as he makes his move to Washington, D.C. 

      Helberg and his husband, venture capitalist Keith Rabois, purchased the Venetian Islands property in 2020 for around $29 million. Since then, they’ve poured about $15 million on customizations, including a jaw-dropping 5,600-gallon aquarium imported from Japan that cost the couple about $1 million, according to agent Julian Johnston of the Corcoran Group. The tank is so massive that it requires a scuba diver for maintenance, who enters through a hatch discreetly tucked away inside the closet of the primary bedroom.

      The 5,600-gallon aquarium stands between two spacious lounge areas overlooking the pool.

      1 OAK Studios

      The design, originally built for Andre Radandt, former president of Bolthouse Farms, the waterfront home is a masterclass in modern elegance. Completed in 2019, the six-bedroom contemporary spread spans an impressive 15,000 square feet. One of the most striking elements is the entrance—a bridge over a reflecting pool leading to a two-story wall with intricate cutout designs by sculptor Erwin Hauer. Other notable features include an infinity-edge pool, an outdoor kitchen, a private dock with a 55,000-pound boat lift, and a rooftop deck with a hot tub for soaking in the dreamy water views.

      The open-plan kitchen and living area is also a showstopper, complete with a large island, casual dining space, and twin glass-enclosed wine cellars. The couple also added custom wood floors and calfskin wall panels, elevating the home’s sophisticated feel.

      A senior adviser to Palantir Technologies CEO Alex Karp, Helberg has yet to be confirmed in his new role within the administration. Meanwhile, Rabois continues to make waves as a venture capitalist, with investments in companies like Stripe and DoorDash. The couple’s love story goes beyond real estate—they tied the knot in 2018 in a ceremony officiated by OpenAI’s Sam Altman on the island of St. Barthélemy.

      Helberg and Rabois recently acquired a seven-bedroom, circa-1912 home in D.C.’s Kalorama neighborhood near the French Embassy for approximately $7 million, according to property records. Kalorama has long been home to power couples like Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, as well as Barack and Michelle Obama. Billionaires like Jeff Bezos and former Trump officials such as David Sacks, Howard Lutnick, and Scott Bessent also reside nearby.

      Chris Wallace’s Stately Georgian-Revival Home in Washington, D.C., Hits the Market for $6.4 Million

      by

      Now that Chris Wallace has announced he is leaving CNN after three years to explore podcast and streaming opportunities, the veteran broadcaster has also decided to put his stately Georgian Revival-style residence in the affluent Kalorama neighborhood of Washington, D.C., on the market. The listing, which was first reported by The Wall Street Journal, is held by Michael Rankin of TTR Sotheby’s.

      The asking price is $6.4 million—or a whopping $5.3 million more than the 77-year-old son of the late CBS News legend Mike Wallace and his longtime wife Lorraine doled out for the property almost 28 years ago, back in early 1997, before going on to remodel the premises.

      An elegant living room is anchored by an expansive bay window and an antique fireplace.

      Townsend Visuals

      Built in the late 1920s for local department store founder Frank R. Jelleff and used by the couple during their tenure to entertain luminaries such as the late Sen. Ted Kennedy, Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, and George Clooney, the red brick and mansard-roof structure features four bedrooms and five baths in roughly 7,000 square feet laced with hardwood floors, arched doorways, and decorative crown molding.

      A walkway originating at the sidewalk empties out at a columned front door, which opens into the main level of the multi-story home. From there, an entry foyer donning a traditional staircase flows to a living room adorned with a large bay window and an 18th-century marble fireplace. A formal dining room topped by a crystal chandelier leads via a butler’s pantry to the all-white kitchen, which is outfitted with top-tier stainless appliances. There’s also a wood-clad study lined with bookshelves.

      A stone-paved terrace encased with greenery is the perfect spot for hosting alfresco affairs.

      Townsend Visuals

      Upstairs, an inviting primary suite hosts a separate office space nestled alongside a fireplace, as well as a walk-in closet and a spa-inspired bath equipped with a built-in soaking tub and a standalone shower. More bedrooms can also be found on the second floor, with a top level serving as a storage area and the lower level holding a recreation room, a mirrored gym, and a guest suite with its own kitchenette.

      Outdoors, the walled and gated grounds span less than a quarter-acre and host a spacious greenery-encased terrace ideal for alfresco lounging and entertaining. There’s also an attached two-car garage and a motor court out back.

      Per WSJ, Wallace and his wife will now spend most of their time at their home in Annapolis, Maryland, where Lorraine operates a business that provides homegrown produce to local restaurants. The couple also plans to maintain a smaller home in the capital.

      Pamela Churchill Harriman’s Onetime Georgetown Home Hits the Market for $10 Million

      by

      While participating in an interview in the living room of her private apartment at the Embassy residence in Paris back in 1996—shortly before she passed away the following year at age 76—Pamela Churchill Harriman was asked if there was anything she wished she had done differently when it came to her “free-flowing” existence. According to her obituary in The New York Times, her response was, “No … I consider I have had a very fortunate life … I drank deep of the well.”

      And drink deep of the well she did, indeed. At just 19 years old, the British-born socialite wed Prime Minister Winston Churchill’s only son Randolph, then went on to become a confidante and hostess for her new father-in-law after her husband went off to war. She later wound up serving as a top figure in the Democratic Party and U.S. Ambassador to France under President Bill Clinton’s administration; and, in-between, the woman who was named one of People magazine’s “50 Most Beautiful People in the World” in ’93 managed to marry a trio of the world’s richest and most influential men, including W. Averell Harriman, a former governor of New York, ambassador to the Soviet Union and heir to the Union Pacific Railroad fortune.

      An ornate fireplace serves as the centerpiece of a formal living room.

      Michael Rankin/TTR Sotheby’s International Realty

      It was at the Harriman’s abode tucked away in the historic Georgetown enclave of Washington, D.C., that the political hostess held a wealth of fund-raising receptions and dinners for the Democratic Party, attracting the likes of House Speaker Thomas P. “Tip” O’Neill and Sen. Gary Hart, just to name a couple. Now, almost three decades after her death, the 19th-century residence has popped up for sale, asking a speck under $10 million. The listing is held by Michael Rankin of TTR Sotheby’s International Realty.

      Designed by architect Thomas Franklin Schneider in the early 1890s for local shoe merchant Wolf Nordlinger, the stately red brick structure also was occupied through the years by Nellie Keating, who established an upscale boarding house on the premises, and Carolyne Hudson, who sold the property to Harriman and his former wife Marie in 1970. Pamela Harriman subsequently transferred the home in 1995 for $990,000 to its current owner, who enlisted Solís Betancourt & Sherrill to undertake an extensive renovation and restoration of the place in collaboration with Ivy Construction.

      An updated kitchen boasts a central island and top-tier stainless appliances.

      Michael Rankin/TTR Sotheby’s International Realty

      Today, the historic dwelling features eight bedrooms and a matching number of bathrooms in a little more than 9,300 square feet of multi-story living space adorned throughout with wide-plank hardwood floors, high ceilings, intricate moldings, detailed casement openings, elegant wallpaper and an elevator to all levels. Entry is granted via a grand foyer, which flows to a formal living room warmed by an ornate fireplace and an adjacent fireside music room. A banquet-sized dining room with yet another fireplace leads to a sleekly designed kitchen outfitted with a central island, high-end stainless appliances and a breakfast nook sporting glass-paneled doors spilling out to a deck.

      The roof deck provides sweeping views of the city.

      Michael Rankin/TTR Sotheby’s International Realty

      Three bedrooms can be found on the second floor, including an inviting primary suite hosting dual fireplaces and walk-in closets, a balcony, and spa-like bath equipped with a large soaking tub and shower. The floor above has two more bedrooms—one with its own bath, and another with access to an oversized turreted playroom—and elsewhere is an office space, a sitting room and roof deck overlooking the skyline, plus a basement housing a staff suite, laundry facilities and storage.

      Rounding it all out are the landscaped grounds, which span less than a quarter-acre, and come complete with mature trees, manicured gardens and numerous terraces. Per the listing, there’s also parking for multiple vehicles.

      Powerhouse Lobbyist Tony Podesta Just Sold His D.C. Home for $8.2 Million

      by

      Known for his brash attitude and flashy designer suits, super-lobbyist Tony Podesta’s Washington, D.C., mansion, which just sold for $8.2 million, exhibits the same sort of eye-catching brio. While the sale price is considerably below the not quite $10 million originally asked for, it’s still more than twice the $3.9 million the former super-lobbyist paid for the property just over 16 years ago.

      The 9,200-square-foot mansion was built in 1929 and was re-designed for Podesta by architect Olvia Demetriou of HapstakDemetriou+, who was tapped to inject the stately house with a contemporary flamboyance that could serve as a worthy container to entertain some of the world’s most powerful political figures—Nancy Pelosi, Henry Reid, and Queen Rania of Jorden have all been entertained here—and to showcase an extensive collection of contemporary artwork that includes pieces by Olafour Eliasson, Louise Bourgeois, and Petrina Hicks.

      The four-story home has a steel and glass helix staircase as well as a commercial-grade elevator.

      HD Bros

      Enveloped in greenery, the dour Georgian stone exterior hides committed, if unexpectedly minimalistic spaces that incorporate a steel helix staircase in the foyer, a commercial-grade elevator that services all floors (perfect for moving heavy sculpture), museum-quality lighting throughout, and a geothermal heating and cooling system. Given the dazzling value of the artwork that was showcased here, not to mention that the property is two doors down from Barak and Michelle Obama’s D.C. digs, the security system is unsurprisingly comprehensive.

      A vast reception room adorned with an elaborately carved 15th-century marble fireplace and a Palladian window is large enough to be converted to a dining room that will comfortably seat sixty. In the less formal, open-plan great room, the kitchen is clean-lined with sleek white lacquer cabinets. Gone, however, is the sinuous, 16-foot-long Ingo Maurer red ribbon chandelier that once hung over the island. A 20-foot-wide expanse of glass slides open to the limestone terraced backyard, where there’s a mysterious, black-shard water feature. The yard, conceived as a sculpture garden by landscape architect Richard Arentz, also includes a wood-fired pizza oven and a built-in gas grill.

      The great room has a 20-foot wall of glass that slides open to the terraced backyard.

      HD Bros

      The main bedroom is a suite of rooms with a wall of floor-to-ceiling glass that artfully frames a dense wall of trees and greenery. There’s also an open marble bathroom, a hidden morning/midnight bar, and a huge dressing room large enough to park a car or two in. French doors open the dressing room to a private deck set in the treetops overlooking the backyard.

      There are two more bedrooms, an exercise room, and a spacious TV lounge, along with ample storage on the third floor, while the basement level includes an in-law or staff suite, a fully equipped catering kitchen, and a humidity-controlled wine cellar. There’s also a two-car garage behind an electric driveway gate.

      The terraced backyard was designed by Richard Arentz as a sculpture garden.

      HD Bros

      Podesta has long been one of Washington’s most insidery insiders, with the ear of presidents and important members of Congress. Starting in 2012, he and the Podesta Group, which he founded with his brother John Podesta, came under federal investigation for compliance with the Foreign Agent Registration Act. The investigation was closed in 2019 without any charges being brought.

      Tax records indicate Podesta and his partner Trisja Malisoff aren’t leaving D.C., at least not entirely; last year they shelled out a total of about $3.1 million for a pair of loft-style condos (and several parking spots) in the bustling Logan Square neighborhood.

      Rex Tillerson Seeks $6.5 Million Deal for an Elegant Washington, D.C., Townhouse

      by

      When veteran oil and gas man Rex Tillerson went to Washington, D.C., to serve as the 69th U.S. secretary of state under former president Donald Trump, the cowboy boot-wearing Texan dropped $5.5 million on an 1920s-era townhouse in the prestigious Kalorama neighborhood.

      The former Exxon Mobile CEO’s tenure as secretary of state was tumultuous and short, barely more than a year, and in the years after his unceremonious dismissal in March of 2018 (he claims he found out he was fired by a tweet!), he and the former president traded insults in the media. But it’s only now, some six years later, that Tillerson and his wife Renda have put their stately four-floor D.C. home on the market. The $6.5 million price buys more than 5,700 square feet of traditional elegance with three (and potentially four) bedrooms and three bathrooms, plus three more powder rooms.

      The listing is held by Mark McFadden and Hunter McFadden at Compass.

      The 1920s residence stands four floors above the tree-lined street.

      Carlo Russo with HD Bros

      A few heads of state and untold numbers of West Wing movers and shakers no doubt passed under the front door’s carved stone pediment and made their way to the ground-floor library for a private tête a tête or perhaps took the whimsically muraled elevator to the parlor level, where a spacious fireside living room has three huge windows overlooking the street and the adjacent dining room is lit by a delicate Venetian glass chandelier. Elsewhere, the parlor floor includes an up-to-date kitchen with a pantry large enough to accommodate a desk and a family room.

      The Texas-sized primary suite sits on the third floor and includes several mirrored wardrobes, a couple of fitted walk-in closets, a separate dressing room, and a large, compartmentalized marble bathroom. A cozy study that features custom built-ins and paisley wall coverings completes the third floor, while two more bedrooms on the uppermost floor each have an ensuite bath.

      Back on the ground floor, along with an oversized laundry room and a dedicated office with built-in desk space, there’s an airy lounge that opens the courtyard-style back garden. A lower terrace alongside the detached two-car garage includes a built-in barbecue for summertime grilling and chilling.

      Kalorama, aka the Beverly Hills of Washington, D.C., is cheek-to-jowl with foreign embassies and luxury homes owned by some of the most influential and powerful people in the country and the world, including Jeff Bezos, the Obamas, Fox News anchorman Chris Wallace, and one of Washington’s most beloved and famous hostesses, philanthropist Esther Coopersmith.

      The Tillersons have long made their primary home in Fort Worth, Texas, where records indicate they still own a 5,400-square-foot home bought in 2014 near the swanky River Crest Country Club. However, they substantially upsized in 2019 with the purchase of a 16,000-square-foot mansion that had been custom-built for Major League Baseball great Vernon Wells in the nearby suburban town of Westlake.

      Bret Baier Is Looking to Flip His Amenity-Packed Washington, D.C., Estate for $32 Million

      by

      Now that Bret Baier has upgraded into a new $37 million mansion in the Sunshine State’s affluent Palm Beach community, the chief political anchor of Fox News Channel, and anchor and executive producer of the network’s Special Report program, has decided to put his residence the upper northwest section of Washington, D.C., back on the market, as was first reported by The Wall Street Journal.

      The asking price is a speck under $32 million—or $32.5 million more than the Baier and his longtime wife Amy forked over for the 1.5-acre property a little more than five years ago, back in September 2018, before they spent a reported three years and $25 million to completely rebuild every inch of the existing premises in collaboration with developer Michael Banks and architect David Jones.

      Should the house go for anywhere near the hefty list price, it would set a record for the city, topping the sale of a circa-1810 mansion that traded for $24.5 million back in 2007.

      The limestone-clad mansion is fronted by a cobblestone motorcourt boasting a central fountain.

      Completed in April 2022, and Inspired by France’s Hotel Chateau du Grand-Lucé, the stately limestone and mansard-roof structure features five bedrooms and nine baths spread across 16,250 square feet of Thomas Pheasant-designed living space.

      A gated driveway empties out at a spacious cobblestone motorcourt bolstered by a marble fountain and flanked by a pair of three-car garages. Arched double doors beneath a portico entryway lead into the main level of the multi-level home, which greets with a soaring rotunda-topped foyer displaying a decorative Nero Marquina marble floor imported from Italy and curving floating staircase.

      From there, the fireside living room has a temperature-controlled wine display, seated wet bar and French doors spilling out to a terrace, and a formal dining room flaunts another fireplace, plus a bespoke wood-and-glass table that seats 14. A gourmet kitchen is outfitted with an eat-in island, top-tier Miele, Wolf, and Sub-Zero appliances, and an adjoining breakfast nook that connects to a glass-lined family room.

      Upstairs, an opulent master retreat hosts a fireplace, sitting area, an expansive balcony, and dual walk-in closets and luxe baths. Additional en-suite bedrooms can be found on the third floor and lower level, which also has a wet bar-equipped lounge, game room with golf simulator, movie theater, gym, sauna and an indoor basketball court spanning two stories.

      A two-story indoor basketball court occupies the home’s lower level.

      Outdoors, the tired grounds were crafted by landscape architect Richard Arentz, and hold a 56-foot pool and spa, chipping and putting green, and numerous spots ideal for al fresco lounging and entertaining. There’s also a whole-home 72-kilowatt generator, as well as eight geothermal wells providing 20 tons of cooling capacity.

      Per WSJ, Baier visited Florida frequently during Covid and decided to move there full-time this past summer. He will continue to commute weekly to Washington, where he hosts his live shows, and look for a smaller place there. Baier—whose net worth is estimated at $72 million—also happens to own a second home in Palm Beach that he paid fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger $12 million for in 2022, according to the South Florida Business Journal.

      The listing is held by Daniel Heider and Jaclyn Mason of TTR Sotheby’s International Realty.

      Jackie Kennedy’s Onetime Georgetown Home Is Slated for Auction

      by

      Almost three decades after she died at age 64, the 18th-century residence where former First Lady Jackie Kennedy and her children Caroline and John Jr. briefly lived shortly after JFK was shot and killed while traveling through Dallas in a presidential motorcade is up for grabs.

      Tucked away in the historic Georgetown enclave of Washington, D.C.—and reportedly purchased by the widow in 1963 for $195,000—the Federal-style estate was listed earlier this year for $26.5 million. Currently priced at $19.5 million with Jonathan Taylor of TTR Sotheby’s International Realty, the place is now set to go to the highest bidder Oct. 24 via a no-reserve auction held by Concierge Auctions.

      Built in the early 1790s by Thomas Beall, Georgetown’s second mayor, the stately red brick and black-shuttered structure also has been occupied during its history by Secretary of War Newton D. Baker and former Miss America Yolande Betbeze Fox. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the “Newtown Baker House” in 1976, and also designated as a National Historic Landmark.

      According to The Wall Street Journal, which previously reported on the sale, the late construction entrepreneur David W. Hudgens began assembling the compound in 1997, when he doled out $1.2 million for a traditional brick home next door to the former Kennedy House. He subsequently added a circa-1880s house on the block for $1.6 million, and then paid the Fox estate $5.2 million for the former Kennedy house in 2017.

      Hudgens went on to enlist architect Dale Overmyer to remodel and combine the trio of buildings, which have a total of 13 bedrooms and 18 baths sprawled across 16,300 square feet of living space. There also are “secret” passageways connecting the homes, plus a three-car garage.

      As for the central house where Kennedy resided, it’s fronted by a portico-topped door opening into a entry foyer displaying a traditional staircase and portrait of the late First Lady. From there, a living room where Kennedy gave her Warren Commission testimony about the murder of her husband is warmed by a fireplace, and an eggshell blue living room boasting a gold-leaf ceiling and elegant moldings leads to a gourmet kitchen outfitted with an eat-in island and top-tier stainless appliances.

      The entire second floor holds a master retreat, which comes complete with parquet floors, a private balcony overlooking the rear gardens, walk-in closet, and marble-clad bath spotlighted by dual vanities, a soaking tub and two separate showers; and elsewhere is an office, a gym, wood-paneled library and family room with bi-folding doors spilling out to an expansive terrace. Topping it all off: an observation deck providing picturesque views of the Washington Monument.
