Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez’s $175M mansion is back in construction
With all the money Bezos has, you can’t buy time, and they are going to have to wait sometime before it is to their liking. The DaiyMail revealed that when they make it back to the states from their adventure, they will live at the Malibu compound of Kardashian money manager, and financial guru, Lester Knispel.
Jeff Bezos just bought a $68 million mansion on an island near Miami known as ‘Billionaire Bunker’ where the super wealthy rub shoulders
Jeff Bezos is adding a waterfront mansion in Florida to his rapidly expanding real estate empire.
The Amazon.com founder, and the world’s third-richest person, agreed to pay $68 million for an estate in Indian Creek, a man-made barrier island in the larger Miami area, according to a person with knowledge of the matter.
The 2.8-acre (1.1 hectare) three-bedroom property, built in 1965, was previously owned by MTM Star International, a company with ties to Panama. Public records show the sale took place in June, but the identity of the final buyer was undisclosed. Prior to that, the last recorded sale was in 1982 for $1.4 million.
A representative for Bezos didn’t respond to requests for comment.
Bezos, 59, is also looking at other purchases in the area, the person said, asking not to be named. The exclusive Indian Creek is known as “Billionaire Bunker” and has been home to the likes of Carl Icahn, Tom Brady, Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump.
Bezos has amassed multiple homes in recent years, including in Washington, D.C., a nine-acre Beverly Hills mansion he bought for $165 million in 2020 and an estate in Maui. He owns properties in Manhattan and Seattle as well as a 300,000 acre ranch in Texas, where the launch site to Blue Origin’s New Shepard rocket is based.
His spending on ultra—expensive items has accelerated since he stepped down as CEO from Amazon in 2021 and after he separated from his wife MacKenzie Scott. He owns one of the world’s most expensive superyachts, the Koru, which launched this year and cost an estimated $500 million to build.
His Indian Creek purchase spans almost 9,300 square feet (864 square meters), according to property records, and includes a pool.
With a $163 billion fortune, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, Bezos would instantly become Indian Creek’s richest inhabitant. The island has just about 40 residences, a country club and its own police department.
Real estate values have soared there, but also for the high-end Miami area in recent years as the region has drawn some of the world’s wealthiest people. Ken Griffin, Dan Loeb and Josh Harris have also scooped up lush waterfront Miami Beach mansions since the pandemic.
The purchase marks a homecoming for Bezos, who graduated from high-school in Miami, after his Cuba-born stepdad got a job in Florida. His parents own properties in Coral Gables and Miami Beach.
He’s also been spending time in the area. Bezos attended the Miami Grand Prix party in May and was spotted that weekend with his now-fiancée Lauren Sanchez.

Where does jeff bezos live
Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez are the couple of the moment after news broke that the billionaire proposed to the Emmy award-winning host. The couple has been living their best life aboard a $500 million superyacht, visiting places like Mallorca, Spain, and Cannes, France, while their soon-to-be mansion is in construction.
Bezos purchased the Beverly Hills estate for nearly $175 million in 2020. Construction was halted on it last month, but in photos published by DailyMail, workers are back on the property, working on the roof.
The 10-acre beachfront private estate is huge. It has a three-story main home, a guest house, a gym, a pergola, and a security guard house. The outlet notes that he planned to extend the property with a new pool house, powder room, and retaining walls.
With all the money Bezos has, you can’t buy time, and they are going to have to wait sometime before it is to their liking. The DaiyMail revealed that when they make it back to the states from their adventure, they will live at the Malibu compound of Kardashian money manager, and financial guru, Lester Knispel.
Of course, It’s not the only property Bezos has. DailyMail notes his profile is thought to be worth $600 million, and the couple splits their time between the homes. He even bought the house next door to the mansion for $10 million the same year.
He also owns four apartments inside an art-deco block on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, and a mansion in Washington D.C. that he purchased for $23 million in 2016.
A wedding on the horizon
The couple, who went public with their relationship in 2019, has still not confirmed the news, but Sanchez had proudly been wearing the stunning diamond. Bezos is rumored to have proposed with an estimated $2.5 million engagement ring. Their friends are “thrilled.” “He has all the money in the world, and what was missing was someone to share it with, and everybody on both sides is very happy,” a source told PEOPLE.
They said the businessman and pilot have been talking about it for a long time. “All of her friends say this is her dream come true. She found the man she wants to spend the rest of her life with, and they felt the time was right,” the insider said.
