The feature mentioned a so-called 10,000 Year Clock, a subterranean structure built 500 feet underground. The home reportedly spans 9,300 square feet, and the entire property is about 2.8 acres. The exclusive island has been home to Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, Tom Brady, and billionaire investor Carl Icahn. Bezos and his girlfriend are also rumored to have toured "Casa Encantada," a 40,000-square-foot estate in Bel-Air, The Post reported.

This discrepancy highlights the premium Bezos placed on the property, possibly because of its location, exclusivity or potential as a custom home site beyond the estimated market value. In June Bezos paid $68 million for a three-bedroom home, according to Fortune magazine. Bezos will live in the newly purchased home, which last sold in 1998 for $2.5 million, while the other two homes he purchased are torn down, according to Bloomberg.

Bezos, Goldentayer, and a representative for the Indian Creek Village did not immediately respond to requests from Insider for comment sent outside regular business hours.

Work also had begun north of the Venetian Causeway by the Shoreland Co. to build one of the largest manmade islands out of a mangrove swamp, a 600-acre project then tentatively called the Miami Shores Island. As of 2017, there were 41 platted waterfront residential home sites (which are owned by 36 property owners with 29 estate homes), Indian Creek Village's website states. Though Bezos got a deal − paying $79 million for the home instead of $85 million − the sale is considered the most expensive home ever sold at Indian Creek Village. According to the Miami-Herald, the mansion last sold for $28 million in 2014. Other homeowners on the island include Tom Brady, Ivanka Trump, Jared Kuschner, and billionaire car dealer and former owner of the Philadelphia Eagles Norman Braman.

Bezos’ two main Seattle-area properties, which he purchased in 2010, don’t yet appear to be on the market. Representatives for Bezos did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Bezos' most recent purchase was three neighboring penthouses in a swanky New York City building for a cool $80 million. When combined, this gives Bezos one massive apartment with 12 beds and a total of 17,000 square feet to use as he pleases. He dropped another $16 million to add a fourth floor to his collection of real estate on Fifth Avenue in 2020. He purchased the property next door in 2010 under Aspen Ventures LLC, The Wall Street Journal reported.

That mansion features a guest house, a pool house, a basketball court, a tennis court, greenhouses, a rose garden, and koi ponds, all with restored 1930s finishings, Business Insider reported. Casa Encantada has an asking price of $225 million, making it the most expensive property currently on the market in the United States, according to The Times. LA's iconic Chartwell Estate — best known for being featured in the opening credits of "The Beverly Hillbillies" — was among the properties Bezos and Sanchez reportedly toured. The 26-room mansion features a 75-foot swimming pool, a five-bedroom guest house, a tennis court, a 12,000-bottle wine cellar, manicured gardens, a secret underground tunnel, and panoramic views of downtown Los Angeles and the Pacific Ocean.

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.

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. It has an eat-in kitchen with a fireplace, a family room, a media room and an owner’s bedroom with a private veranda and views of the city. The four-bedroom home, built in 1951, has five full bathrooms and two powder rooms. With vaulted ceilings, detailed crown molding, carved marble fireplaces and distressed hardwood floors, it boasts a 700-bottle wine cellar and a roof deck.

The property is mainly used as the base for Bezos' space company Blue Origin.

While it was unclear at the time what Bezos’ plans were for combining all four units, building permits were submitted in fall 2019, so it’s likely the fourth acquisition was meant to be an addendum to the already-grand Manhattan megamansion. Then, in 2005, he reportedly spent $50 million on a neighboring 8,300-square-foot mansion with five bedrooms and four bathrooms. The properties have a combined 310 feet of shoreline, according to Realtor.com. The first home he bought for $37.5 million in Hunts Point spans 9,400 square feet and is set on 3.25 acres.

The Daily Mail reports that Bezos, the third richest man on Earth with a net worth of nearly $194 billion, has added some glam final touches onto his megamansion in Beverly Hills, California. Bezos’ move is yet another example of a recent uptick in billionaire transplants to the tax-friendly state of Florida.

Bezos, 59, is also looking at other purchases in the area, the person said, asking not to be named. The exclusive Indian Creek is known as “Billionaire Bunker” and has been home to the likes of Carl Icahn, Tom Brady, Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump. Despite its luxurious attributes, the property's valuation by Zillow stands at approximately $41 million, significantly lower than the price Bezos agreed to pay for it.

Bezos and his fiancée, former news anchor and pilot Lauren Sánchez, had reportedly been looking for a new or renovated mansion in the Miami area. The mega-mansion was purchased by the 59-year-old founder on June 27, according to The Real Deal. Real estate values have soared there, but also for the high-end Miami area in recent years as the region has drawn some of the world’s wealthiest people. Ken Griffin, Dan Loeb and Josh Harris have also scooped up lush waterfront Miami Beach mansions since the pandemic.

Shortly after his highly publicized divorce in 2019, Bezos quietly scooped up four properties in Hunts Point, Seattle — just minutes from his primary Medina residence that has undergone about $27 million in renovations in recent years. 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. Bezos bought a second, neighboring estate in Beverly Hills, Calif., in 2017 for $12.9 million. The home, with a brick and limestone exterior, also offers a stately dining room, elegant country-style kitchen, walk-in closets, balcony and covered patio with vaulted skylight.

Meanwhile, the third structure is a three-bedroom, one-bathroom dwelling, offering 1,815 square feet. Bezos was reportedly in the market for a new Los Angeles home for nearly a year. Last March, Bezos and Sanchez secretly toured a different Bel Air mansion, Page Six reported. Asking $88 million, that property features a rooftop deck, infinity pool, and panoramic views, according to a listing from Hilton & Hyland. That property has since been purchased by fellow billionaire Lachlan Murdoch, the son of NewsCorp founder Rupert Murdoch, Business Insider reported in December. Murdoch paid approximately $150 million for the estate, making it the most expensive home ever sold in Los Angeles, The LA Times reported.

Insider's Hannah Towey visited the private island last year and found it was heavily guarded and eerily quiet. Besides the mansions, she wrote, there was nothing much available on the island except for an ultra-exclusive golf club. Bezos agreed to pay $68 million for the property, Bloomberg reported, citing an unnamed source. The source also told Bloomberg that Bezos is considering other purchases in the area. A representative for Bezos did not respond to Bloomberg's requests for comment.

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. In 1998, Bezos paid $10 million for 5.3-acre property in the wealthy suburb on the shores of Lake Washington. A 2022 Land Report named Bezos the country's 24th-largest landowner, with 420,000 acres to his name. His collection includes three properties in Indian Creek Village, an island off the coast of Miami, where he announced in November he'd be relocating with his fiancée Lauren Sanchez.
