Amazon CEO and founder Jeff Bezos is the latest high-profile buyer in the enchanted East Coast real estate avenue north of Miami and south of Palm Beach. The sailboat-loving fellow shelled out $68 million this summer for the property, a three-and-three on a 1.84-acre chunk of Indian Creek.
The 9,259 square-footer originally dates to 1965. Its interior living spaces are arranged around a courtyard; because of its single level, and apparently modest number of bedrooms across a larger floor area, it has a large footprint. According to the listing, its rooftop solar system allows it to run entirely independently, a consoling feature for a property positioned at the business end of hurricane alley.
Bezos’ relatively recent real estate acquisition joins a long list of properties stretching from the East Coast to Hawaii. In late 2021, he shelled out $78 million for a large estate in Maui. He was one of several high-profile figures that created a $100 million fund to help those in need after the recent severe fires on the island.
Bezos’ net worth is around $163 billion.
