Jeff Bezos buys second Florida real estate empire with $79 million purchase

Jeff Bezos recently expanded his impressive real estate holdings in Florida with the purchase of a neighboring property for $79 million, following his $68 million acquisition of a mansion near Miami Beach last summer. This move, according to sources, suggests a desire to host lavish gatherings on Miami Beach as reported by PEOPLE.

The recently acquired property, built in 2000, is situated on a sprawling two-acre lot and consists of seven bedrooms. It's replete with opulent features, including a wine cellar, a home theater, a swimming pool, and a cabana.
