Jeff Bezos knows products and properties. In 2022, Amazon’s founder was named the 24th largest landowner in the United States by The Land Report. At the time, Bezos owned 420,000 acres of land. Three years later, Bezos has acquired even more real estate, adding to his profile of luxury homes across the country.

Although the billionaire formally stepped down as the online retail giant’s CEO in 2021, transitioning into the role of executive chairman of the board in his “retirement,” Bezos isn’t done making money—or historic—moves. His aerospace company, Blue Origin is preparing for its next launch on Monday, April 14, and the trip will be one for the history books, as it will be made up of an all-woman crew that will include Katy Perry, Gayle King, Aisha Bowe, Amanda Nguyen, Kerianne Flynn, and Bezos’s fiancée, Lauren Sanchez.

When Bezos isn’t brainstorming his next business venture or thinking up new ways to break records, he invests time (and many dollars) into his homes. But with so many properties to his name, where does the billionaire go when he needs to wind down? Where does Jeff Bezos call home? We’re breaking down his ultra-pricey real estate profile below.

The Birthplace of Amazon in Bellevue, Washington

It’s hard to believe that Amazon was founded in a garage. Still, the trillion-dollar company was launched in an unassuming residence tucked away in Bellevue, the fifth-largest city in Washington state. According to an interview with The Wall Street Journal, 10704 NE 28th Street appealed to Bezos because of its spacious garage; the businessman liked the idea of building a startup from the ground up in a garage.

The 1954 construction spanned 1,540 feet of living space. It had three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a granite and maple kitchen, and a large living area complete with skylights. It also boasted a decent-sized backyard with a full deck and hot tub. Bezos and his ex-wife, MacKenzie Scott, moved into the home in 1994 and reportedly paid $890 in rent per month.

A Compound in Seattle, Washington

Following the successful launch of Amazon, Bezos bid farewell to the garage where it all began and bought not one but two neighboring homes in the Medina neighborhood of Seattle (a popular area among millionaires) in 1998 for $10 million. Together, the homes take up 28,900 square feet on 5.3 acres, 310 feet of which feature a private shoreline on Lake Washington, a boathouse, and a waterslide.

Two years later, Bezos purchased the property next door, which was listed for $53 million. While it’s unclear what Bezos paid for the Tudor-style home, we know that in the same year, Bezos spent $28 million to renovate the first two properties. The three-estate compound would become Bezos’s main residence, complete with plenty of amenities like an indoor and outdoor pool.

A Multilevel Apartment in Manhattan

In 2011, Bezos purchased a three-unit condo in Lincoln Square’s Century Building from Sony Music’s Tommy Mottola. Though the music executive listed the condos for $7.65 million, Architectural Digest reports Mottola was mid-renovation during the sale, so Bezos likely paid more than the asking price to foot those bills. Though a luxury abode, Bezos used it as a pied-à-terre, rather than a home base. In 2022, the businessman bought an adjacent 1,725-square-foot unit.

Figure 2 Ranch in Van Horn, Texas

In 2004, Bezos made his way down south to the Lone Star state when he purchased the Figure 2 Ranch, a 30,000-acre property that would serve as a base of operations for his aerospace company, Blue Origin. How much Bezos paid for the property is not public record, however, it’s been reported that attorney Ronald Stasny updated the 1920 construction before it belonged to Bezos, adding a spa bathroom, remodeling the kitchen, updating the tile floors, and refinishing its porches.

Sometime between 2004 and 2023, Bezos purchased more of the land, amassing a whopping 400,000 acres in total. During an aerial tour with Vogue, Bezos’s fiancée, Lauren Sanchez, pointed out the ranch’s two-story home clad with floor-to-ceiling windows, a swimming pool made to look like a pond, and the Kármán Line Bar (a ranch converted into a space-themed bar).

A Mansion in Beverly Hills

Cliché as it may be for a billionaire to put down roots in Beverly Hills, Bezos joined the star-studded Los Angeles neighborhood in 2007. The Spanish-style mansion set him back $24.45 million and spanned 11,891 square feet of property, with seven bedrooms and seven bathrooms. Other amenities worth highlighting include a guest house, a greenhouse, a tennis court, a swimming pool, multiple water fountains, and a six-car garage.

Ten years later, Bezos acquired the property next door for $12.9 million. Details are limited, but the four-bedroom, six-bathroom home takes up 4,586 square feet, is gated, and has a swimming pool.

Three Homes in Washington, DC

In 2016, Bezos purchased two mansions in the Kalorama neighborhood of Washington, D.C. that previously made up a textile museum. The sale came three years after the businessman acquired The Washington Post—he restructured the homes into a single-family abode that he could use as a home base when in town for work. Combining the structures made the home the largest in D.C. to date, with 27,000 square feet. Two years after buying the mega-mansion, Bezos spent $12 million in renovations that involved upping the number of bathrooms to 25.

In 2020, Bezos bought another property in Kalorama for $5 million. The home is across the street from his textile museum reconstruction, and rumor has it he bought it purely for privacy reasons.

Five Mega-Luxurious Manhattan Units

From Lincoln Square to Madison Square Park. In early 2019, Bezos spent $80 million on a trio of apartments overlooking the park: A luxury penthouse with three floors spanning 10,000 square feet, complete with a grand ballroom, an elaborate library with a marble and glass fireplace to read by, and a seven-room primary suite; the three-bedroom unit directly below the aforementioned abode; and the four-bedroom unit adjoining the three-bedroom pad.

In 2020, Bezos splurged on a fourth unit in the same building, snagging another three-bedroom apartment adjacent to two units below his three-story penthouse. In 2019, he applied and was approved for permits to combine all four into one mega-mansion. But Bezos didn’t stop there. In 2021, he spent $23 million on a fifth unit in the same building.

Two More Homes in Beverly Hills

Bezos doubled back to Beverly Hills in 2020 to drop $165 million on American film producer David Geffen’s Georgian-style Beverly Hills mansion. The estate measures 13,600 square feet and features two guest homes, three greenhouses, one nursery, a tennis court, a swimming pool, a nine-hole golf course, an automobile service garage, and a private gas pump. The house also has a historic element: Its antique wood flooring is thought to have been imported from overseas and where Napoleon got down on one knee to propose to Empress Josephine.

Later that year, Bezos purchased the neighboring property for $10 million. It boasts 4,615 square feet which sits a two-story, three-bedroom, and four-and-a-half bathroom house. Highlighted features of his third estate in Beverly Hills include six fireplaces, crown molding, wooden floors, French doors, a brick courtyard for entertaining, and gardens riddled with various vegetables and rose blooms.

The Most Expensive Home in Maui

Bezos may be the 24th largest landowner in the U.S., but as of 2020, he’s secured the top spot for the most expensive homeowner in Maui, Hawaii. The 14-acre property he procured on the island cost $78 million, but the deal wasn’t as cut-and-dry as making an offer. To purchase the compound on La Perouse Bay, Bezos bought out the holding company that owned the land in a private sale, instead. The actual plantation-style home on the property is only 4,500 square feet, the guest home is 1,700 square feet, and the residence includes a 700-square-foot pool overlooking the white sand beach.

Three Billionaire Bunker Properties In Miami, Florida

In true retiree fashion, Bezos’s most recent property purchases were made in Miami, Florida: his new home base. He bought two homes in The Magic City in 2023, first shelling out $63 million for a 2.8-acre waterfront pad on Island Creek, or, as it has become so affectionately known, Billionaire Bunker. The home was built in 1965 and has three bedrooms, three bathrooms, an L-shaped wing, a separate driveway, and ample parking spots.

His second purchase—the contemporary Mediterranean-style home next door—set him back $79 million. This house has seven bedrooms and 14 bathrooms, as well as a marble mantle, vaulted ceilings, a statement-making, winding staircase, a wood-burning fireplace, and a Tuscan-style kitchen. Then, in April of 2024, Bezos bought a third property on the island worth $90 million: A six-bedroom, nine-bathroom mansion decked out with balconies and a swimming pool.
