In August, he added a $68 million mansion on Miami's "billionaire bunker" island, Indian Creek Village, to his portfolio. The Obamas purchased an $8.1 million property nearby in 2017, which marked the second-most expensive transaction in the neighborhood — after Bezos' — The Washington Post reported. The three units in The Century building on Manhattan's the Upper West Side were purchased in 1999 from the former Sony Music head Tommy Mottola, The Observer reported at the time.

The spread included a three-story penthouse and two units directly below it. The U-shaped ranch house seen above is a remnant from the seller, who told The Wall Street Journal that he put "millions" into renovating it. He added that he wanted to be closer to his parents and space company Blue Origin's operations in Cape Canaveral, Florida.

The compound is home to multiple dwellings, including two guesthouses and a 13,600-square-foot mansion.

From two neighboring Beverly Hills mansions to multiple estates in exclusive Seattle suburbs, here are Bezos' residential properties in the US. Bezos' Seattle-area real estate empire is worth as much as $190 million, based on Zillow estimates. Finally, Bezos plunked down $28 million in renovations on the combined estate in 2010, according to Realtor.com, for a total of $88 million spent on the estate — $118 million, adjusting for inflation. With 300 feet of coastline views, the manse boasts a rooftop deck with a fireplace and a glass bridge that connects to the guest house. 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.

Given his rapid ascent and upward career trajectory, it is anticipated that Jeff will soon surpass Bill Gates as the world's first trillionaire. It won't be inaccurate to say that his unwavering commitment and tenacity have shaped who he is today. Page Six exclusively reported Monday that the couple got engaged on the billionaire’s $500 million yacht while in the South of France for the 2023 Cannes Film Festival. Bezos reportedly has plans to bulldoze the $68 million pad and build a palatial megamansion.

The contemporary-style, single-story home was built in 1956 and covers 4,500 square feet with four bedrooms and six bathrooms, according to Mansion Global, which noted that Google Maps shows a large pool in the backyard. Two months later, Bezos dropped an additional $79 million for the contemporary Mediterranean-style property next door. The dwelling measures a whopping 19,000 square feet, with seven bedrooms and 14 bathrooms—though, according to reports, Bezos may be planning to raze the current structure and build his own custom home in its place. The luxe residence currently boasts marble floors, vaulted ceilings, and a grand winding staircase rising up from the front foyer. Images of the home, built in 2000, also reveal a wood-burning fireplace with a marble mantle and coffered ceilings in the grand living room and a Tuscan-style kitchen. In December 2023, Bezos’s partner Lauren Sánchez gave Vogue a helicopter tour of the property, which the publication clocked at over 400,000 acres (it’s unclear when Bezos purchased more acreage).

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. The Daily Mail reported Thursday that Bezos — who failed to complete a planning application for a new “game court fence” — had planned to extend his massive manor with a new pool house, powder room and retaining walls.

The feature mentioned a so-called 10,000 Year Clock, a subterranean structure built 500 feet underground. 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. After a $28 million renovation project that involved demolishing one of the homes and building a singular, massive property that spans 5.3 acres and features a 25,000-square-foot Tudor-style mansion with six bedrooms and nine bathrooms. Bezos has not one, but two lavish Beverly Hills homes, including a Spanish-style palace. It has all the amenities of a castle and more, including seven bedrooms, seven bathrooms, a tennis court, a six-car garage, four fountains, a swimming pool, and a verdant garden. Outside, the home boasts, terraces, gardens, a nursery and three hot houses.

Ranches in the area go for about $1,400 an acre, Realtor.com shows, and Stasny told the WSJ that Bezos paid a premium. Bezos, who attended elementary school in Houston, said he wants his family to have the chance to live on a ranch after he got to stay on his grandfather’s 25,000-acre ranch in Cotulla, Texas, as a kid, according to the report. The owner’s suite has vaulted and beamed ceilings, dual bathrooms, a refreshment area, a fireplace and a wrap-around terrace.

It has deer-antler chandeliers, oak furniture, historical photos and paintings of the ranch, a barn and a guesthouse, according to a report by the Wall Street Journal. Jeff Bezos went on a bit of a real estate shopping spree recently, purchasing the famed Jack Warner Estate from media mogul David Geffen for a record-setting $165 million. The largest property of the 2019 spending spree was a $37.5 million waterfront estate in Hunts Point, an exclusive neighborhood with fewer than 400 residents.

Jeff Bezos keeps making waves, and not just for being the world’s third-richest man with a staggering net worth of $167 billion. According to the census, the population of the island is just 81, including fellow Billionaire Bunker homeowners Tom Brady, Ivanka Trump, Jared Kuschner and billionaire car dealer and former owner of the Philadelphia Eagles Norman Braman. There are also Brazilian teak docks where 100-plus-foot luxury vessels are moored — perfect for his $500 million superyacht Koru, which features a helicopter landing pad, swimming pool, and a mermaid resembling Sanchez adorning the prow. There’s also indoor and outdoor pools, a large guest house and waterfront access to Lake Washington. 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.

It was demolished in the 1980s after falling into disrepair, and in its place rose a mammoth residence known as La Belle Vie. The Benedict Canyon mansion of Universal Pictures founder Carl Laemmle met a similar fate. His 2019 apartment spree included the purchase of a three-story, five-bedroom, five-and-a-half-bathroom penthouse and the two-unit floor beneath it, which he planned to combine into a single mega-condo totaling 17,000 square feet, according to Realtor.com. 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.
