Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has amassed a real estate portfolio that rivals that of some of America's most famous landowners.
The 24th-largest landowner in the country, according to the 2022 land report, Bezos owns 420,000 acres in America.
The latest addition to his very expensive collection: a $68 million waterfront mansion on Miami's Indian Creek Village — an island sometimes referred to as the "billionaire bunker."
The pricetag was record-breaking for the Florida hotspot, but it's not the first time Bezos has broken real estate records. In 2019, he dropped about $80 million on three adjacent New York City apartments in the priciest real-estate deal ever south of Manhattan's 42nd Street. The next year, he purchased the nine-acre Warner Estate in Beverly Hills for $165 million from billionaire David Geffen. At the time, it was the most expensive home ever sold in California's history.
Bezos, who has an estimated net worth of $163 billion as of August 14, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, had purchased a number of properties with his ex-wife MacKenzie Scott. After the pair finalized their divorce in 2019, a number of those were split up, leaving Bezos — at least for a time — with a homes in his collection.
From two neighboring Beverly Hills mansions to a sprawling estate in an exclusive Seattle suburb, here are all the residential properties Bezos has snapped up in the US.
