6 sprawling US estates owned by Amazon’s Jeff Bezos, the richest person in the world
- From two neighbouring Beverly Hills mansions to a sprawling estate in an exclusive Seattle suburb, here are some of the properties the Bezos own in the United States
Days after Jeff Bezos and MacKenzie Bezos announced they had finalised the terms of their divorce, the Amazon CEO is reportedly apartment hunting in New York City, the New York Post reported.
The Amazon CEO remains the richest person in the world with a net worth of US$115 billion, while MacKenzie Bezos is worth US$37 billion, making her the fourth-richest woman in the world.
Jeff Bezos is looking to spend US$80 million on a penthouse apartment and the two surrounding units in a Manhattan building overlooking Madison Square Park, according to the Post. This would expand his enormous real estate portfolio.
It’s not known how the Bezos family will split up their real-estate holdings, which include six huge properties across the country. A 2017 Land Report named Bezos the country’s 28th-largest landowner. As Business Insider’s Tanza Loudenback previously reported, everything acquired throughout the marriage from real estate to income is considered joint property in the Bezos’ home state of Washington.
From two neighbouring Beverly Hills mansions to a sprawling estate in an exclusive Seattle suburb, here are the six estates the Bezos own in the United States.
Jeff Bezos lives in a nearly 29,000-square-foot estate in Medina, Washington.
Bezos owns two homes in Medina spanning 5.3 acres.
According to The Wall Street Journal, he paid US$10 million for the property in 1998.
