Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has made yet another significant real estate purchase, acquiring a stunning mansion in Florida’s exclusive “Billionaire Bunker” island for a whopping $79 million. The property, located in Indian Creek, sits right next to a house Bezos already owns on the island.
Key Takeaway
Jeff Bezos continues to expand his real estate empire with the acquisition of a $79 million mansion in Florida’s Indian Creek. The stunning property, equipped with seven bedrooms and fourteen bathrooms, sits adjacent to a house Bezos already owns. This latest purchase, along with his previous acquisition next door, fuel speculation of a potential billionaire compound on the horizon. Indian Creek’s wealthy community, including Tom Brady and the Trump-Kushner duo, cements its reputation as an elite destination for the super-rich.
A Luxurious Estate in a Coveted Location
Spanning over 19,000 square feet, Bezos’ new mansion boasts an impressive seven bedrooms and fourteen bathrooms. The property is equipped with top-of-the-line amenities, including a home theater, wine cellar, library, maids’ quarters, pool, and sauna. With its breathtaking waterfront location and private boat dock, the mansion offers the epitome of luxury living.
A Strategic Discount and a Growing Compound
Interestingly, Bezos managed to secure the property at a discounted price. The estate was previously listed in May for $85 million, and Bezos was able to negotiate it down to $79 million. It’s worth noting that in August, Bezos also purchased a three-bedroom home next door for $68 million in an off-market deal. Speculation is rife that these acquisitions may be part of his plan to create a sprawling billionaire compound.
Joining an Exclusive Community
Indian Creek is renowned for its wealthy and illustrious residents. Notable neighbors include football superstar Tom Brady, who is currently building a home in the area, as well as Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, who have also chosen Indian Creek as their exclusive enclave.
