His latest purchase in the exclusive neighborhood is next to another property he bought this summer for $68 million. The billionaire could still buy more property in the area, Bloomberg reported, citing a person familiar with the matter. He was criticized for the publicity stunt, not only because he was taking a multi-million dollar flight from a station in a small town, but also because the internet agreed that he looked kind of like Dr. Evil while doing it.

Jeff Bezos buys neighbor’s Florida mansion for $79M, second ‘Billionaire Bunker’ purchase

Bezos is the new owner of a 13,000-square-foot Beverly Hills mansion, The Wall Street Journal's Katy McLaughlin and Katherine Clarke reported. Studios executive Jack Warner in the 1930s, features two guest houses, a tennis court, a swimming pool, and a nine-hole golf course, according to Architectural Digest. Bezos reportedly paid film producer David Geffen $165 million for the estate, which would make it the most expensive home ever sold in California. The three Indian Creek houses are the latest of several ultra-luxury property acquisitions by Bezos, who also purchased the nine-acre Warner Estate in Beverly Hills for $165 million in 2020.

Jeff Bezos has spent millions of dollars amassing a collection of residential properties over the years.

It’s the third property he owns in the exclusive neighborhood, where Tom Brady lives, alongside Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner. The players in this pas de deux were outspoken New York restaurateur Keith McNally—occupying the plaintiff/hater role—and media personality Lauren Sánchez—the defendant and hatee. Sánchez is engaged to billionaire tech titan Jeff Bezos, and the two are demonstrably very in love, which is to say, whether in the pages of Vogue or on a red carpet, an unmistakable air of horniness seems to accompany them wherever they go.

By then, close to 300 acres of the swamp had been developed into a barrier island. In 1928, a group of Midwestern millionaires bought the island from the government and the following year, a golf course and a red-tiled Mediterranean-style club opened. Bezos’ latest purchase makes his Indian Creek footprint worth a staggering $147 million, which is among the most valuable real estate in the billionaire’s lavish portfolio.

The other is an 8,300-square-foot, five-bedroom, four-bathroom home built in 1940. This 30,000-acre property in the west-most part of Texas is the base for Bezos’ private space company, Blue Origin. On the two-acre estate, there are four outdoor gardens, a greenhouse, a sunken and lit tennis court, a swimming pool, an outdoor dining area, a separate guest apartment, a six-car garage, patios and a motor court. Jeff Bezos keeps making waves, and not just for being the world’s third-richest man with a staggering net worth of $167 billion. This is just another case of rich people failing to grasp how out of touch it looks when they defend each other’s rights to be rich and above criticism.

You might also know that Bezos recently went through a very high-profile divorce, in which he reportedly left his wife after beginning an affair with a former news reporter. That might seem scandalous enough, but things became even more tabloid-worthy when someone leaked some very intimate texts from Bezos to his alleged mistress. There’s a three-story main house, a gym, a guest house, a pergola and a security guard house. Last year Bezos, purchased a $68 million mansion on Indian Creek in an off-market transaction in June and a $79 million pad right next door in October. Bezos and his partner, Lauren Sánchez, will reportedly live in their newest home while razing and then rebuilding the first two homes, although the latest transaction—also off-market and first reported by Bloomberg on Tuesday—is still pending.

Jeff Bezos is adding a waterfront mansion in Florida to his rapidly expanding real estate empire. Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner paid $32 million for an empty waterfront lot on the island from singer Julio Iglesias, Enrique Iglesias' father, according to Business Insider. Originally listed for $85 million, Bezos' second home at Indian Creek Village has seven bedrooms and 14 bathrooms. The waterfront mansion features celebrity neighbors like Tom Brady, Ivanka Trump and Julio Iglesias, one of the most successful and popular Spanish singers of his era. The Medina neighborhood of Seattle sits on Lake Washington, and Bezos’s home there features 310 feet of private shoreline and a boathouse. The eight-bedroom, 10-bathroom estate contains a koi pond, a European garden, a lagoon-like pool and spa, waterfalls, a tennis court, a tree-lined cobblestone driveway, and a courtyard with an outdoor fireplace.

Bezos is expected to bulldoze the site and build a new mega mansion on the beautiful waterfront plot. The purchase marks a homecoming for Bezos, who graduated from high-school in Miami, after his Cuba-born stepdad got a job in Florida. A representative for the Indian Creek Village told Insider that they have no information to share about the purchase. While there are few photos of the estate and the adjacent home, Los Angeles County has plenty of aerial views of the property that give us our best look yet at the massive compound Bezos is amassing in the hills above LA. Jeff Bezos purchased Figure 2 Ranch in the Sierra Diablo mountain range in 2004.

These options provide a way for almost anyone to get a foot in the door of the real estate market, democratizing the ability to invest in this traditionally high-barrier industry. The privately owned, exclusive residential enclave includes 41 platted waterfront residential home sites (which are owned by 36 property owners with 29 estate homes as of Dec. 31, 2017), according to the village website. “It is a beautifully kept place, the homes, the public streets, everything is picture perfect. That's what they're entitled to,” says Bramson, who’s visited the island a few times.

Residents include Bezos, investor Carl Icahn, and Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump. The transaction closed on Thursday, real-estate news outlet The Real Deal reported, citing the Multiple Listing Service database. The sale was handled by Dina Goldentayer and Danilo Tavares, who are with real-estate company Douglas Elliman. The billionaire has snapped up a seven-bedroom mansion in Indian Creek, Florida, for $79 million, Bloomberg first reported on Thursday, citing people with knowledge of the matter.

Among them, a $37.5 million mansion overlooking Lake Washington and three homes for his staffers. In Florida, his holdings now include some $147 million worth of homes on exclusive Indian Creek Island. Braman, a billionaire art collector and owner of one of Florida’s largest car dealerships, has lived in Indian Creek longer than most of his neighbors. The property he purchased in 1991 for less than $4 million has increased in value nearly fifteen times. The former owner of the NFL’s Philadelphia Eagles first got rich selling pharmaceuticals and cosmetics.

Situated in one of the most expensive neighborhoods in the United States, Indian Creek is home to just 80 residences, each set in expansive mansions. These homeowners enjoy exclusive amenities, including a private golf course and country club, highlighting the area’s luxurious lifestyle. Bezos is currently the third-richest person in the world, and his new address will put him among an impressive list of big-name businesspeople and celebrities. Two months later, Bezos dropped an additional $79 million for the contemporary Mediterranean-style property next door.

Bezos also bought the 4,800-square-foot home across the street for $5 million in January 2020 through the Capital Revocable Trust, which represents Bezos, the Washingtonian reported. Sources with insider knowledge previously revealed to The Post that Bezos has been quietly scouting for off-the-market ranches in Maui, further solidifying his presence in Hawaii after acquiring property along the shores of La Perouse Bay. It’s the fifth time he bought an entire floor in the 24-story building — he already dropped $80 million in June 2019 on the 21st, 22nd, 23rd and 24th floors.

Bezos further invested in his Manhattan megamansion in early spring, picking up a $23 million unit in the same historic building where he had already spent $96 million on four separate homes. This brought the square footage of his holdings there to more than 20,000 square feet. He first bought property in the cushy neighborhood in 2007, shelling out $24.45 million for a mansion that had tennis courts, a guesthouse, a six-car garage, and a pool, the Los Angeles Times reported at the time.

If you think that one moderately priced property (by Bezos standards) sounds understated for a guy who just took an 11-minute joyride to space, you'd be right. The Medina compound is only the first in an impressive property portfolio acquired by Bezos over the years. While this home resumes its work, Bezos and his fiancée Lauren Sánchez are making moves in Florida, where Bezos announced he’d move last autumn to be closer to his parents. Blue Origin, his space exploration company, is also increasingly shifting to Cape Canaveral. The images also show an overall work in progress, but one that will certainly yield a great result. Construction scaffolds surround one of the pools, while the grounds are for now largely dirt — with earth surrounding the other, and larger pool, that’s separated from the main house by rows of trees.
