- Jeff Bezos sold one of his several Washington properties after moving to Miami in 2023.
- He snapped up three mansions on Indian Creek Island, leaving behind eight properties in Washington.
- He closed the reported deal for $63 million on a Hunts Point estate.
Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has amassed a real estate portfolio that rivals some of America's biggest property owners. He's the 23rd-largest landowner in the US, according to the 2025 Land Report, with at least 420,000 acres to his name.
Bezos' Seattle-area real estate empire, which was worth as much as $190 million in 2023 based on Zillow estimates, is getting smaller. Almost two years after moving south, Bezos sold one of his several Seattle properties for a big profit.
He sold his 9,420-square-foot home in Hunts Point, Washington, for a record $63 million, Puget Sound Business Journal reported in April. The estate was acquired by Cayan Investments LLC, Business Insider confirmed Thursday.
His collection also includes three properties in Indian Creek Village, an island off the coast of Miami, where he announced in 2023 he'd be relocating with his fiancée Lauren Sánchez.
Bezos, worth $211 billion according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, purchased several properties with his former wife MacKenzie Scott. Their divorce was finalized in 2019, and it's unclear which of these properties Bezos still owns, as divorce records were not made public.
From two neighboring Beverly Hills mansions to multiple estates in exclusive Seattle suburbs, here are Bezos' residential properties in the US.

Jeff Bezos has spent millions of dollars amassing a collection of residential properties over the years.
A 2025 Land Report named Bezos the country's 23rd-largest landowner, with 420,000 acres to his name.
Over the years, he's picked up several New York City apartments, a ranch in Texas, and homes in Washington state, California, and Washington, DC.
Medina is an exclusive suburb that is home to Bill Gates, Microsoft bigwigs, tech entrepreneurs, and telecom magnates.
Bezos' first big New York purchases were three apartments, which he bought for $7.65 million on Central Park West in Manhattan.
The three units in The Century building on Manhattan's Upper West Side were purchased in 1999 from the former Sony Music head Tommy Mottola, The Observer reported at the time.
More than a decade later, in 2012, Bezos bought an additional unit in the building, valued at $5.3 million in 2012, making him the owner of four condos in the building.
The Art Deco building was built in the 1930s, boasts a concierge, elevator attendants, and three separate entrances.
His next big buy was a massive ranch near the town of Van Horn, Texas.
In 2004, Bezos purchased Corn Ranch, a 165,000-acre stretch of land outside Van Horn, Texas.
He told the local paper he bought the property so his family would get the chance to live on a ranch like he did when he visited his grandfather as a child. The land is also the most productive launch site for his aerospace company Blue Origin.
Three years after buying The Washington Post in 2013, Bezos bought a former textile museum in DC's Kalorama.
He spent $23 million on the property, which dates back to 1912 and has a spot on the National Register of Historic Places, The Washington Post reported.
The neighborhood is a hot spot for Washington bigwigs.
The Obamas purchased an $8.1 million property nearby in 2017, which marked the second-most expensive transaction in the neighborhood, after Bezos' — The Washington Post reported.
The two joint structures on Bezos' property have nearly 27,000 square feet of living space, making it the largest home in Washington, DC.
It's been reported that Bezos may have also purchased the home across the street in January 2020 for $5 million, though BI could not confirm he owns the property.
In the months following his 2019 divorce, Bezos spent $45 million on four properties in other exclusive Seattle enclaves.
The largest property of the 2019 spending spree was a $37.5 million waterfront estate in Hunts Point, an exclusive neighborhood with fewer than 400 residents. The home has 300 feet of coastline, a rooftop deck with a fireplace, and a glass bridge connecting to a two-story guesthouse.
He purchased two more modest homes in Hunts Point around the same time, which his neighbors said are used for security and other staff, including a chef.
When he offloaded the $37.5 million estate in April, he got $25 million more than he purchased it for in 2019, Puget Sound Business Journal reported.
Around the same time, he purchased a home nearby in Yarrow Point.
He also purchased a staff home in the nearby Yarrow Point. The home sold for $4.2 million in January 2024, according to its listing on Compass.
Two months after Bezos and MacKenzie Scott finalized their divorce, he reportedly dropped about $80 million on three New York City apartments.
In 2019, he dropped about $80 million on three adjacent New York City apartments in the priciest-ever real-estate deal south of Manhattan's 42nd Street.
The spread included a three-story penthouse and two units directly below it. It was the priciest real estate deal south of Manhattan's 42nd Street, appraiser Jonathan Miller told The Wall Street Journal at the time.
Renderings of the inside of the apartment from the creative agency VisualHouse show the opulence of the penthouse.
Bezos has since purchased two more units inside the prewar building. In 2020, he spent $16 million on an additional unit, and purchased a $23 million apartment in the building in 2021.
The purchases brought his grand total to $119 million of real estate in the one building, which has a fitness center, golf simulator, game room, and movie-screening room, according to the property's website.
Bezos also owns property in Beverly Hills, California, one of the most expensive neighborhoods in Los Angeles.
He first bought property in the cushy neighborhood in 2007, shelling out $24.45 million for a mansion that had tennis courts, a guesthouse, a six-car garage, and a pool, the Los Angeles Times reported at the time. In 2017, he bought the house next door for $12.9 million.
In 2022, Scott donated the two mansions to a housing charity.
After his divorce, he broke California records when he purchased the Warner Estate in 2020.
Bezos purchased the nine-acre Warner Estate in Beverly Hills for $165 million from billionaire David Geffen.
The estate was designed for Jack Warner — the former president of Warner Bros. Studios — in the 1930s.
The most expensive home sale in California's history at the time, Bezos purchased the house for $165 million from David Geffen, who bought it in 1990 for $47.5 million. The mansion has guest homes, a tennis court, a swimming pool, and a nine-hole golf course.
Like many of his other homes, privacy is key at the Warner Estate. Hedges surround the nine acres on which the 13,600-square-foot home sits.
In 2021, Bezos and his now-fiancée Lauren Sánchez bought a home in Hawaii.
Bezos paid about $78 million for the Maui home, according to The New York Times.
In the weeks leading up to the purchase, Bezos made several donations to local organizations — including Hawaii Land Trust and Mālama Family Recovery Center, local news site Maui Now reported.
Sánchez announced that she and Bezos would donate $100 million to help Maui after neighborhoods on the island were devastated by fires.
"Jeff and I are heartbroken by what's happening in Maui. We are thinking of all the families that have lost so much and a community that has been left devastated," Sánchez wrote on Instagram.
Their notable island neighbors include fellow billionaires Oprah Winfrey, Paul Thiel, and Oracle executive Larry Ellison, according to the Times.
Bezos purchased a home in Indian Creek in 2023, another billionaire hotspot.
In August 2023, he added a $68 million mansion on Miami's "billionaire bunker" island, Indian Creek Village, to his portfolio.
The home reportedly spans 9,300 square feet, and the entire property is about 2.8 acres. The exclusive island has been home to Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, Tom Brady, and billionaire investor Carl Icahn.
While announcing his relocation, Bezos said that he wanted to be closer to his parents and space company Blue Origin's operations in Cape Canaveral, Florida.
He reportedly also snapped up the home next door.
Bezos bought the seven-bedroom Indian Creek mansion for $79 million in October, Bloomberg reported, citing unnamed sources.
The nearly two-acre mansion was built in 2000 and boasts features like a home theater, library, pool, and wine cellar.
But he wasn't done yet with his Indian Creek shopping spree. People representing Bezos reportedly contacted at least three other island homeowners to discuss purchasing their properties, Bloomberg reported in early January.
Bezos snapped up a third mansion on Indian Creek for $90 million
In April 2024, Bezos made his third purchase on the island known as the "billionaire bunker," Bloomberg reported. He paid $90 million for the six-bedroom home in an off-market transaction.
The house last sold for $2.5 million in 1998, according to the outlet, which noted that Bezos plans to live there while tearing down the other two properties he'd purchased on the island.
Indian Creek, located on Biscayne Bay and home to fewer than 100 residents, has its own mayor and police force, and is accessible only via a gated bridge.
