"Amazon founder and billionaire Jeff Bezos sold his Seattle mansion this spring after about two years of living in Miami with his wife, Lauren Sánchez. It's the most expensive home ever sold in Washington state as of April, the Puget Sound Business Journal first reported, at an eye-popping $63 million, property records show. Bezos, who is worth $237 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, bought the 9,420-square-foot property in 2019,"
"The sprawling mansion sits on 3.27 acres in the elite neighborhood of Hunts Point in King County, Wash., which overlooks Lake Washington. It's just about seven miles away from Amazon headquarters in downtown Seattle and other major tech companies like Microsoft, Apple, and Google. The average home price there is more than $8 million, according to Zillow. Home prices in Seattle have been rising ever since the city became a tech hub, and now it's one of the priciest housing markets in the country."
"Bezos's former Washington home has three bedrooms, four bathrooms, an elevator, a massive walk-in closet, a secondary kitchen, a rooftop terrace, and a glass walkway that connects the property to a two-story guesthouse. The mansion stretches more than 300 feet across Lake Washington's waterfront. According to property records, the home was previously owned by late art collector and luxury travel executive Barney A. Ebsworth, who was also one of the initial investors in Build-A-Bear."
