- Jeff Bezos announced that he’s moving to Miami after 29 years in Seattle.
- He snapped up three mansions on Indian Creek Island, leaving behind eight properties in Washington.
- He has a massive real estate portfolio and is the 25th-largest landowner in the US, per the Land Report.
Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has amassed a real estate portfolio that rivals some of America’s biggest property owners. He’s the 25th-largest landowner in the US, according to the 2024 Land Report, with at least 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. He also owns eight properties in Seattle, his former home.
Bezos’ Seattle-area real estate empire is worth as much as $190 million, based on Zillow estimates.
“I’ve lived in Seattle longer than I’ve lived anywhere else and have so many amazing memories here. As exciting as the move is, it’s an emotional decision for me. Seattle, you will always have a piece of my heart,” Bezos wrote on Instagram in November, announcing his move. He added that he wanted to be closer to his parents and space company Blue Origin’s operations in Cape Canaveral, Florida.
In August, Bezos made his first known Miami purchase, spending $68 million on a waterfront mansion. Two months later, he paid $79 million for the mansion next door.
On Tuesday, Bezos made his third purchase on the island known as the “billionaire bunker,” Bloomberg reported. He paid $90 million for the six-bedroom home in an off-market transaction.
It’s not the first time Bezos has spent jaw-dropping amounts on real estate: In 2019, he dropped about $80 million on three adjacent New York City apartments in the priciest-ever real-estate deal south of Manhattan’s 42nd Street.
The following year, Bezos 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, worth $204 billion according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, purchased several properties with his former wife MacKenzie Scott. Their divorce was finalized in 2019, and it’s unclear which of these properties Bezos still owns, as divorce records were not made public.
From two neighboring Beverly Hills mansions to multiple estates in exclusive Seattle suburbs, here are Bezos’ residential properties in the US.
