Jeff Bezos, the name is like a shining star in the business world, and his every move always causes a sensation. Recently, he has a new move, which is simply jaw-dropping.
The head of Amazon, who is worth tens of billions, bought three mansions in a row on a small island known as a fortress of the rich, spending a total of 1.74 billion yuan.
However, this rich man's big money is not to buy a luxury house, but... Somewhat unexpectedly, he plans to raze these mansions to the ground and build a super mansion!
Billionaire, Bezos, how much wealth can he have? Presumably, at the age of 60, he has so many numbers in his bank account that we can't count them. Bezos's hourly wage is about $1.5 million, which is a small mountain in yuan.
Here's the thing, the mansion in Bezos's eyes is not the kind of place you think it is. He has his eye on three mansions on Indian Creek Island. This island is not simple, also known as the "Billionaire's Bunker", it is a paradise for the rich.
This Amazon boss is not buying a house casually. In June 2023, he first paid 68 million US dollars, about 490 million yuan, to buy his first mansion.
This house is still an old house, built in 1965, a basketball court can not compare with the area, only 11,331 square meters, the house has three bedrooms and three bathrooms, it is really low-key luxury and connotation.
The billionaire is clearly not satisfied with the "three-bedroom apartment". Only three months later, in September 2023, he bought a second mansion. This time the price was higher, reaching 79 million US dollars, equivalent to about 570 million yuan.
The house is younger than the first one, built in 2000, but its value has multiplied several times, from $28 million in 2014 to this sky-high price.
This time the house is much bigger, with an area of 7400 square meters, 7 bedrooms and 14 bathrooms, it is simply a mini palace. In March 2024, Bezos went on to buy a third mansion, and the price soared all the way to 90 million US dollars, or about 650 million yuan.
The two-story house was bought by its original owner in 1998, 26 years ago, for $2.5 million. Now that Bezos has won, how much has it appreciated? Do you calculate that these three mansions are like Bezos's three chess pieces, placed on the chessboard in this game of the world's richest people.
Bezos doesn't plan to move into these historic, extravagant houses, his plan is to tear them all down and build a super mansion on the land!
And the scale and luxury of this super mansion can only be described by imagination. After all, Bezos' yacht, Koru, worth $500 million, has already shown his definition of luxury. It is expected that this super-mansion will become a pyramid among private homes.
This series of actions is undoubtedly shocking. Bezos's decision is also unique in the plutocratic world. And the most amazing thing is that these are just the tip of the iceberg. His wealth allows him to transform any corner of the world at will, even if it's a small island.
