The acquisition, costing $90 million, elevates his total investment in the area to a staggering $237 million.<br \/>This recent purchase follows Bezos&#8217;s acquisition of two other mansions on the same island last year, one in June for $68 million and another in October for $79 million. The newly bought six-bedroom home sits in the exclusive Indian Creek Village near Miami, encapsulating a waterfront property with an expansive front lawn and outdoor pool, a Daily Mail report said.<br \/>The mansion, boasting a sizable 12,135 square feet, is strategically positioned away from Bezos&#8217;s previous buys, hinting at plans to reside in this latest addition while potentially redeveloping the earlier acquisitions. This move is part of a broader expansion of Bezos&#8217;s property interests following his engagement to Lauren Sanchez.<br \/>Indian Creek Island, accessible only through a guarded bridge and patrolled round-the-clock by a private police force, offers unparalleled privacy and security. Its residents, comprising a mix of celebrities and business moguls, enjoy exclusive amenities like a country club and a private 18-hole golf course. The island&#8217;s appeal as a &#8216;Billionaire Bunker&#8217; is further underscored by its median house price of $29.5 million, branding it as &#8216;the world&#8217;s most exclusive municipality.&#8217;<br \/>Notable neighbors include real estate developer Jeff Soffer and NFL legend Tom Brady, positioning Bezos&#8217;s new mansion among the elite. The island has previously attracted high-profile residents such as Jay-Z and Beyonc\u00e9, investor Carl Icahn, and Jared Kushner alongside Ivanka Trump.<br \/>Bezos&#8217;s impressive real estate portfolio, valued at over $600 million, spans across New York, Washington D.C., Beverly Hills, and West Texas, and now includes a private estate in Hawaii. The Hawaii property, acquired in 2022 for an estimated $78 million, features three buildings and is nestled among dormant lava fields, showcasing the billionaire&#8217;s taste for unique and luxurious homes.<br \/>The acquisition on Indian Creek Island not only underscores Bezos&#8217;s lavish lifestyle but also highlights the exclusive nature of the island, attracting some of the world&#8217;s wealthiest individuals seeking privacy, security, and luxury.<\/div>\n<p><script>!(function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    function loadFBEvents(isFBCampaignActive) {\n      if (!isFBCampaignActive) {\n        return;\n      }\n      (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n        if (f.fbq) return;\n        n = f.fbq = function() {\n          n.callMethod ? n.callMethod(...arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n        };\n        if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n        n.push = n;\n        n.loaded = !0;\n        n.version = '2.0';\n        n.queue = [];\n        t = b.createElement(e);\n        t.async = !0;\n        t.defer = !0;\n        t.src = v;\n        s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n      })(f, b, e, 'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js', n, t, s);\n      fbq('init', '593671331875494');\n      fbq('track', 'PageView');\n    };\n    function loadGtagEvents(isGoogleCampaignActive) {\n      if (!isGoogleCampaignActive) {\n        return;\n      }\n      var id = document.getElementById('toi-plus-google-campaign');\n      if (id) {\n        return;\n      }\n      (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n        t = b.createElement(e);\n        t.async = !0;\n        t.defer = !0;\n        t.src = v;\n        t.id = 'toi-plus-google-campaign';\n        s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n      })(f, b, e, 'https:\/\/www.googletagmanager.com\/gtag\/js?id=AW-877820074', n, t, s);\n    };\n    function loadSurvicateJs(allowedSurvicateSections = []){\n      const section =  window.location.pathname.split('\/')[1]\n      const isHomePageAllowed = window.location.pathname === '\/' && allowedSurvicateSections.includes('homepage')\n      if(allowedSurvicateSections.includes(section) || isHomePageAllowed){\n        (function(w) {\n          var s = document.createElement('script');\n          s.src=\"https:\/\/survey.survicate.com\/workspaces\/0be6ae9845d14a7c8ff08a7a00bd9b21\/web_surveys.js\";\n          s.async = true;\n          var e = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];\n          e.parentNode.insertBefore(s, e);\n        })(window);\n      }\n    }\n    window.TimesApps = window.TimesApps || {};\n    var TimesApps = window.TimesApps;\n    TimesApps.toiPlusEvents = function(config) {\n      var isConfigAvailable = \"toiplus_site_settings\" in f && \"isFBCampaignActive\" in f.toiplus_site_settings && \"isGoogleCampaignActive\" in f.toiplus_site_settings;\n      var isPrimeUser = window.isPrime;\n      if (isConfigAvailable && !isPrimeUser) {\n        loadGtagEvents(f.toiplus_site_settings.isGoogleCampaignActive);\n        loadFBEvents(f.toiplus_site_settings.isFBCampaignActive);\n        loadSurvicateJs(f.toiplus_site_settings.allowedSurvicateSections);\n      } else {\n        var JarvisUrl=\"https:\/\/vsp1jarvispvt.indiatimes.com\/v1\/feeds\/toi_plus\/site_settings\/643526e21443833f0c454615?db_env=published\";\n        window.getFromClient(JarvisUrl, function(config){\n          if (config) {\n            loadGtagEvents(config?.isGoogleCampaignActive);\n            loadFBEvents(config?.isFBCampaignActive);\n            loadSurvicateJs(config?.allowedSurvicateSections);\n          }\n        })\n      }\n    };\n  })(\n    window,\n    document,\n    'script',\n  );<\/script><br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NEW DELHI: Jeff Bezos, the Amazon founder recently designated as the world&#8217;s third richest billionaire by Forbes, has expanded his real estate portfolio with a third mansion on Florida&#8216;s luxurious Indian Creek Island, famously known as the &#8220;Billionaire Bunker&#8221;.
