Jeff Bezos’ $105M New Neighbor Buys Lot Half Off, Still Billionaire Bunker Bound
KEY POINTS
- •An unknown buyer paid $105 million in 2024 for a vacant lot next to Jeff Bezos in Indian Creek Island, Miami.
- •Jeff Bezos owns three properties worth $237 million and announced in November 2023 that he would move from Seattle to Miami.
- •Indian Creek is a private man-made island guarded 24/7, known for billionaire residents like Jared Kushner, Tom Brady, and Ivanka Trump.
In a plot twist rivaling reality TV, an anonymous buyer shelled out $105 million in 2024 to neighbor Jeff Bezos on the Miami man-made island Indian Creek, also known as the ‘Billionaire Bunker.’ This $105 million price is literally a half-off markdown from a $200 million original list price that tanked within a few months of going live in December 2024, because hey, even billionaires love a good clearance sale. The buyer used a trust managed by Miami attorney Joseph Hernandez, because nothing screams secrecy like a million-dollar legal wrapper. Bezos himself owns three properties totaling a jaw-dropping $237 million on the island and recently announced he was relocating to Miami after cozying up in Seattle for nearly three decades. The island's ultra-secure with police guarding a lonely bridge—probably checking IDs to make sure you’re not just a broke Bezos roleplayer. Plus, predesigns for a 25,000-square-foot mansion come with the lot, so the buyer can instantly channel Bezos-esque mega-luxury. Realty expert Ilya Reznik cheerily assured this all made sense thanks to the Bezos effect on prices, despite the previous seller snagging it in 2018 for a mere $27.5 million. Talk about a pricey upgrade—this lot’s now the neighbor nobody can name, but everyone wants, kind of like a Vegas casino owner who doubles as a ninja.

Only in 2024 does your empty dirt lot drop from $200M to $105M yet still scream 'I’m cooler than you' because Jeff Bezos lives next door. Trust me, that’s real estate inclusivity at billionaire level.
Bezos moving to Miami has apparently become the real estate version of the Kardashians: drives prices insane, no one knows who's buying, and everyone's pretending it’s normal.
Buying a $105 million empty lot next to Bezos feels like upgrading from Monopoly to real life billionaire shenanigans—just add trust fund and exclusive police patrol.
