The founder of Amazon, Jeff Bezos, purchased a $68 million property in the upscale “Billionaire Bunker” neighbourhood in Florida for his fiancée Lauren Sánchez. This recently purchased house is situated on the artificial barrier island, which has its own mayor, police department, and self-governing council. Notable individuals who have opted to live there include Tom Brady, Ivanka Trump, Carl Icahn, Julio Iglesias, and Jared Kushner.
Indian Creek island itself stands out as an exquisite haven, with a massive 18-hole golf course spanning 294 acres and roughly 40 waterfront villas with views across the bay. Constructed in 1965, the 9,259 square foot house is situated on 2.8 acres of lakefront land. The property was formerly owned by Tulia Soucy de Gonzalez Gorrondona, a former hotelier and manager at MTM Star International Corp., a company with ties to Panama, according to sources.
It is anticipated that Bezos will demolish the existing structure and erect an opulent new home on the breathtaking waterfront lot in its stead. The 2021 census indicates that the island is home to just 81 inhabitants. It has been reported that Bezos and his fiancée, Lauren Sánchez, a pilot and former news journalist, had been searching the Miami area for a new or refurbished residence.
