Jeff Bezos is buying up more pricey property on an uber-exclusive Miami-area island as he moves cross-country from Seattle.
The billionaire Amazon founder purchased a third home on Indian Creek island for $90 million in an off-market transaction, Bloomberg reported.
A rep for Bezos declined to comment.
The exclusive island, with its own mayor and police force, is home to fewer than 100 residents, including Ivanka Trump and Tom Brady, and is only accessible via a gated bridge.
Bezos plans to live in the six-bedroom home — which last sold for $2.5 million in 1998 — while he tears down two other houses he previously purchased on the island, according to Bloomberg.
Bezos first bought a $68 million waterfront mansion on Indian Creek in August. He snagged another seven-bedroom mansion for $79 million several months later.
Bezos announced his move to Miami in November, saying he wanted to be closer to his parents and Blue Origin’s Cape Canaveral operations.
It’s possible Florida’s favorable tax code (it’s one of eight states without a capital-gains tax) played a part.
Business Insider’s Madeline Berg and Katherine Long previously reported Bezos was leaving Seattle with eight total properties worth as much as $190 million, based on Zillow estimates.
Bezos is the world’s second-richest person, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. His vast real-estate empire also comprises two neighboring Beverly Hills mansions, a Texas ranch, and a $500 million superyacht called Koru.
And the billionaire is no stranger to purchasing multiple neighboring properties. Bezos did the same thing at his former residence in the Hunts Point enclave outside Seattle, using some of the houses for his security and staff.
