The founder of Amazon, Jeff Bezos, purchased a $68 million property in the upscale “Billionaire Bunker” neighbourhood in Florida for his fiancée Lauren Sánchez. This recently purchased house is situated on the artificial barrier island, which has its own mayor, police department, and self-governing council. Notable individuals who have opted to live there include Tom Brady, Ivanka Trump, Carl Icahn, Julio Iglesias, and Jared Kushner.
Indian Creek island itself stands out as an exquisite haven, with a massive 18-hole golf course spanning 294 acres and roughly 40 waterfront villas with views across the bay. Constructed in 1965, the 9,259 square foot house is situated on 2.8 acres of lakefront land. The property was formerly owned by Tulia Soucy de Gonzalez Gorrondona, a former hotelier and manager at MTM Star International Corp., a company with ties to Panama, according to sources.
It is anticipated that Bezos will demolish the existing structure and erect an opulent new home on the breathtaking waterfront lot in its stead. The 2021 census indicates that the island is home to just 81 inhabitants. It has been reported that Bezos and his fiancée, Lauren Sánchez, a pilot and former news journalist, had been searching the Miami area for a new or refurbished residence.
Bezos might not be content with a single island property, it seems. According to reports, he’s also thinking about purchasing an adjacent lot that’s listed for $85 million. This house, at 12 Indian Creek Island Road, is allegedly larger than the one Bezos recently purchased. The magnificently lavish 19,064 square feet of the mansion have an astounding 14 bathrooms and seven bedrooms.
Jeff Bezos has bought several houses in the last few years. One house in Washington, D.C., is one of these. He also owns a large mansion in Beverly Hills that is nine acres in size. He paid $165 million for it in 2020. On top of that, he owns a house on Maui. Bezos has real estate in Seattle and Manhattan. Interestingly, Bezos owns a large stretch of land in Texas that is approximately 300,000 acres in size. This area is used as the launch pad for the Blue Origin rocket known as New Shepard. This possible acquisition would raise Bezos’s net worth and add to his already outstanding portfolio of real estate properties. Bezos founded Amazon.
