Jeff Bezos has scooped up a third property on Miami’s elite Indian Creek Island for a staggering $90 million.
The Amazon founder purchased the waterside mansion in the ritzy neighborhood, nicknamed “Billionaire Bunker,” in an off-market transaction, Bloomberg reported Tuesday.
The resort-style manor features a plush yard overlooking the twinkling ocean with several manicured gardens, a large driveway perfect for the billionaire’s many luxury cars and a beautiful swimming pool and guesthouse.

Insiders told The Post that Bezos intends to live in the home while completing the demolition of his two other island abodes.
Bezos purchased his new manse for an exorbitantly high price, with records obtained by The Post indicating that it last sold for just $2.5 million in 1998.
The inflated fee signals how desirable the area has become.

But sources in the know claimed Bezos’ move to snap up yet another property on the exclusive 300-acre island with just 41 residential homes could rub some of his neighbors the wrong way.
“This is the hottest spot in the country right now. If there is one thing wealthy elites want, it is a slice of exclusivity,” a real estate source familiar with the area told The Post.

“Property on the island is already scarce, so there is no doubt that Bezos making off-market deals will rile up a few who have been eyeing homes there.”
The tech titan previously purchased his other two neighboring Indian Creek residences for $147 million.

Bezos owns several other lavish properties outside of the Sunshine State, including homes in Washington, Maui and a Beverly Hills mansion he acquired for $165 million in 2020.
Bezos popped the question with a 20-carat ring said to be worth an estimated whopping $2.5 million while aboard the 417-foot vessel in May 2023 during the couple’s romantic trip to the South of France for the Cannes Film Festival.
