Jeff Bezos reportedly scooped up a $79 million mansion in Florida’s exclusive “Billionaire Bunker” island — two months after buying the house round the corner for $68 million.
The Amazon founder and the world’s third-richest person — with a net value of $156 billion, in response to Bloomberg — purchased the seven-bedroom, 14-bathroom abode on Thursday, in response to a list on Zillow.
He scored a 7.1% discount from the property’s May listing price of $85 million, in response to Bloomberg, which first reported on the sale, citing people acquainted with the matter.
In-built 2000, the 19,064-square-foot home is ready on 1.84 acres on the man-made barrier isle Indian Creek Island, a fortress that lies on the outskirts of Biscayne Bay, and boasts its own municipality, mayor, and police force.
It boasts a pool, theater, library, a wine cellar, maids’ quarters, a sauna, and 6 garage spaces, in response to the Zillow listing.

The Douglas Elliman agents who helped Bezos close on the house, Dina Goldentayer and Danilo Tavares, declined The Post’s request for comment.
Situated at 12 Indian Creek Island Road, the sprawling estate neighbors the $68 million, three-bedroom, three-bathroom crib Bezos bought in August in an off-market deal — only one month after the 59-year-old proposed to his longtime flame Lauren Sanchez with a colossal diamond value a reported $2.5 million.
Bezos reportedly has plans to bulldoze the $68 million pad and construct a palatial megamansion. It wasn’t immediately clear if he also has plans to tear down his latest eight-figure enclave.
Indian Creek boasts about 40 waterfront properties all facing the water, together with an 18-hole golf course stretched across 294 acres.
There are also Brazilian teak docks where 100-plus-foot luxury vessels are moored — perfect for his $500 million superyacht Koru, which includes a helicopter landing pad, swimming pool, and a mermaid resembling Sanchez adorning the prow.
In keeping with the 2021 census, the population of the island was just 81.
Other homeowners on the island include Tom Brady, Ivanka Trump, Jared Kuschner, and billionaire automobile dealer and former owner of the Philadelphia Eagles Norman Braman.
Representatives for Bezos at Amazon didn’t immediately reply to The Post’s request for comment.
Two months ago, Bezos scooped up a $68 million, three-bedroom pad right round the corner to his latest Indian Creek purchase. The deal makes his footprint on the island value $147 million.Dina Goldentayer Real Estate
Bezos’ latest purchase makes his Indian Creek footprint value a staggering $147 million, which is among the many most precious real estate within the billionaire’s lavish portfolio.
He also amassed a 5.3-acre property within the affluent Medina, Wash., neighborhood — which is positioned lower than 10 miles from Amazon’s Seattle headquarters — after purchasing two homes in 1998 and 2005, for which he paid a combined $60 million.
Bezos then overhauled the 2 lots, merging them to construct his primary residence complete with a 25,000-square-foot Tudor-style mansion, a second house that reportedly functions entirely as Bezos’ office, indoor and outdoor pools, and waterfront access to Lake Washington.
Further south in Beverly Hills, Bezos purchased a $165 million mansion from billionaire producer David Geffen in a record-shattering deal just before the pandemic.
The eight-bedroom, 10-bathroom estate incorporates a koi pond, a European garden, a lagoon-like pool and spa, waterfalls, a tennis court, a tree-lined cobblestone driveway, and a courtyard with an outside fireplace.
