Jeff Bezos acquires third mansion in Florida’s Indian Creek Island for $90 million

As reported by Bloomberg, the founder of Amazon.com Inc. has reportedly agreed to pay around $90 million in an off-market deal for a six-bedroom home in the Miami-area enclave.

Bloomberg reported citing sources that Bezos intends to reside in this new property while he proceeds to demolish the other houses he acquired on the island.

However, a representative for Bezos declined to provide any comment on the matter. Property records indicate that the house was last sold in 1998 for $2.5 million.

Bezos, the world’s second-richest person worth $203.7 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, announced in November that he was moving to Miami from the Seattle region. He shelled out $147 million for two mansions in Indian Creek, a man-made barrier island that’s so renowned for its wealth that it’s dubbed “Billionaire Bunker.” Other residents include Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump, Tom Brady and Carl Icahn.

Since February, Jeff Bezos has sold approximately $8.5 billion worth of Amazon shares, marking his first disposal of company stock since 2021. The 60-year-old billionaire has not revealed any plans for the proceeds from these sales, Bloomberg reported.

Regarding his latest real estate transaction in Florida, the owner of the mansion located at 28 Indian Creek Island Road is listed as former banker Javier Holtz.
