It appears that Jeff Bezos has added to his real estate portfolio once again.
According to a report from the New York Post's Jennifer Gould Keil, the Amazon CEO paid $16 million for a three-bedroom unit at 212 Fifth Avenue. Bezos isn't listed on the deed — the unit was sold to a holding company, Madison Square Park LLC. The holding company is represented by Seattle-based law firm Perkins Coie, which counts Amazon as a client. The Real Deal also confirmed that Bezos is the unnamed buyer.
A spokesperson for Bezos did not immediately respond to Business Insider's request for comment.
Bezos already owns $80 million worth of real estate in 212 Fifth Avenue: a penthouse unit and two apartments below it. By purchasing the new unit, Bezos now owns nearly $100 million worth of real estate in a single building overlooking New York's Madison Square Park.
Bezos purchased the other three units last year after reportedly hunting for a home in New York "for months." The purchase reportedly included a three-floor penthouse, a private elevator, and 12 bedrooms, while the building itself has a fitness center, a golf simulator, a game room, and a movie-screening room, according to the property's website.
Bezos' eventual goal is to combine the units into a single massive dream home. Building permits for the units were reportedly filed on Bezos' behalf last fall, but according to the Post, construction hasn't started on the condos yet.
Bezos also owns four condos in a building on Manhattan's Upper West Side that overlooks Central Park, as well as a $165 million estate in Beverly Hills, California, a Washington, D.C., mansion, and property in Seattle and Texas.
