"Google cofounder Larry Page has quietly-or loudly-joined the billionaire exodus from California, shifting businesses east and dropping about $173 million on two ultra-luxury waterfront mansions in Miami's Coconut Grove in a move that looks strikingly similar to Jeff Bezos' relocation playbook. The timing, structure, and destination of Page's escape from Silicon Valley make his Florida pivot look downright Bezos-ian."
"In late December and early January, The Wall Street Journal reported, Page snapped up two neighboring estates in Miami's Coconut Grove, paying roughly $101.5 million for one waterfront compound and $71.9 million for another in an off‑market deal, for a combined outlay of about $173.4 million. One of the homes, previously listed for $135 million, spans 13 bedrooms and 15.5 bathrooms and sits directly on the water,"
Larry Page purchased two neighboring waterfront estates in Miami's Coconut Grove for about $173.4 million in late December and early January. One property spans 13 bedrooms and 15.5 bathrooms and was previously listed for $135 million; the other was bought from heiress Sloan Lindemann Barnett and her husband Roger Barnett and nearly doubled in value in less than five years. The acquisitions place Page in an exclusive enclave favored by global elites seeking privacy, water access, and low-key luxury. Local brokers note a broader surge of wealthy Californians scouting South Florida to hedge against looming tax changes. The purchases serve as both luxury retreats and substantial tax-savings vehicles. Regulatory filings show Page has moved his family office and several investment and holding entities out of California ahead of a proposed wealth tax targeting residents worth more than $1 billion.
