Beverly Hills, California – Jeff Bezos, the billionaire behind Amazon, continues to make waves in the real estate world with his extravagant megamansion. The Daily Mail reports that Bezos, worth nearly $194 billion, has been adding luxurious final touches to his Beverly Hills estate, which he purchased from media mogul David Geffen for a whopping $165 million in 2020. The property has seen significant enhancements over the last four years, including the addition of basketball and tennis courts, as well as swimming pools with tropical themes.
Despite briefly halting construction in early 2023 due to a denied application for a new “game court fence,” work on the estate quickly resumed the following month. Aerial images showcase the progress, with pristine tennis courts and a pool adorned with reef-themed tiles. The sprawling 30,000-square-foot compound sits on 10 acres and includes a main house, gym, guest house, pergola, and security guard house.
This lavish Beverly Hills estate stands in stark contrast to Bezos’s humble beginnings in Washington, where he rented a property for $890 per month in the 1990s to launch the now global giant, “amazon.com.” In recent developments, Bezos has put his former Seattle-area residence up for sale, listing it for $2.29 million. The final sale price is yet to be disclosed.
While Bezos oversees the Beverly Hills mansion’s final touches, he and his fiancée Lauren Sánchez are venturing into the real estate market in Florida. Bezos, who relocating to the Sunshine State to be closer to family, has invested in exclusive properties on Indian Creek Island totaling $147 million. His extensive real estate portfolio, worth around $570 million, extends from Hawaii to New York City, showcasing his extravagant taste in luxury homes.
