Jeff Bezos Is Moving to Miami, Purchases Homes on Indian Creek Island
The world-famous founder of Amazon, Jeff Bezos, has announced that he will be moving to Florida, specifically the luxurious Indian Creek island community in Miami-Dade County. Bezos, who recently stepped down as CEO of Amazon, made the announcement on Instagram on Thursday. After nearly three decades in Seattle, he is ready for a change of scenery and a new chapter in his life.
Indian Creek is an exclusive 294-acre barrier island with only 41 homes, all located on one road called Indian Creek Island Road. The island is home to a small population of just 84 people, including high-profile residents such as Jared Kushner, Ivanka Trump, and Carl Icahn. Bezos has purchased two homes on Indian Creek in the past five months, spending a total of $147 million.
In his social media post, Bezos expressed his desire to be close to his parents and his love for Miami, where he attended high school. He also mentioned that more of his aerospace company, Blue Origin, will be shifting operations to Cape Canaveral in central Florida.
The new homes that Bezos has acquired are truly extravagant. The first is a $68 million mansion purchased in June, followed by a $79 million pad right next door in October. The properties offer stunning views of the bay and a golf course. Together, they feature a total of 10 bedrooms, 13 bathrooms, and two swimming pools.
Bezos is no stranger to luxury real estate. In 2020, he purchased the Warner Estate in Beverly Hills for $165 million. He also owns homes in Washington D.C., Manhattan, and Maui. Despite his move, it appears that his two Seattle-area properties are not yet on the market.
Bezos’ decision to move to Florida is part of a growing trend of billionaires relocating to the tax-friendly state. Florida is currently home to 46 members of Forbes’ 400 list, double the number from two decades ago. Bezos’ move will bring the total to 47.
Meet Some of Bezos’ High-Profile Neighbors
Bezos will be joining a community of ultra-wealthy individuals on Indian Creek. Some of his soon-to-be neighbors include:
- A billionaire Colombian banker and real estate developer who owns five properties on the island.
- Retired NFL star Tom Brady, who purchased a $17 million lot in December 2020.
- Norman Braman, a billionaire art collector and car dealership owner.

These neighbors have properties ranging in value from $40 million to $90 million, contributing to the exclusive and luxurious nature of Indian Creek.
Overall, Bezos’ move to Miami and his new homes on Indian Creek Island have attracted significant attention. It’s no surprise that Florida continues to be a highly sought-after destination for the world’s wealthiest individuals.
