Jeff Bezos has added a third mansion to his real estate portfolio on the same island.
The Amazon founder shelled out close to $90 million (about £70 million) on a mansion on Indian Creek island near Miami, Florida in an off-the-market transaction. The six-bedroom estate is his third property that he owns on the exclusive island that's known as Billionaire's Bunker.
Property records show that this house was last sold in 1998 for a paltry $2.5million (about £2 million) and previously owned by former banker Javier Holtz. Sources say that Bezos, 60, will live in this mansion while he tears down his other two properties in the neighbourhood.
This latest house is 12,135 sq ft (about 3,700 sq metres) and includes nine bathrooms, a sprawling front lawn, a pool, various balconies and entranceways, and more. It has a Spanish style roof and is painted a yellow colour.
For the other two homes, Bezos allegedly paid $147million total (about £116 million). The wealthy island is also home to residencies owned by former New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, Carl Ichan, and Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump.
Besides owning these Florida estates, Bezos owns a house in Washington, Maui, and Beverly Hills. The latter of which he brought for $165 million (about £130 million) in 2020.
